[@darrylschultz6479]

@@apexpredator9021 if his head appears to be small,that would only confirm the YUUGE-ness of his muscles. If his head still looked normal-sized after all that upper body development,you'd hafta think he's actually got a YUUUGE head. As blokes get bigger 'n bigger,their head meanwhile just stays the same size. So it appears smaller by comparison-until eventually,people will need a magnifying glass to notice he's even got a head at all! And when it comes to looking like a beetle, I think it's safe to say Paul McCartney doesn't mind.

I think Ruhl had the best delts in history. Yes, you can make a case for Levrone as his was more shapely and round but Ruhl completely outmassed him.

[@BigUriel]

I don't know if Ruhl outmassed him, at his biggest Levrone's delts were insanely thick, there's a shot of him at the NOC when he's kneeling down and seen from the top his delts are literally bigger than his head. But Ruhl's overall frame is very large, his bone structure at the shoulders is much wider than Levrone's which combined with the massive delts makes him look really freakish.

Ruhl, Ruhl, Ruhl Rules the world! Markus had so much done for the sport in Germany. I'am from Germany and the man is still legend. Many Bodybuilders lose a lot of weight after finishing but not Markus he looks crazy as ever and is in quite good health. He is doing a lot of seminars and many are coming to get the wisdom from the men from another planet. I hope that he will live the next three decades so he can pass his knowledge to the young cause like coach greg he is calling out fake trainers who aren't giving functional advice. Besides of that he is quite funny and down to earth unfortunately he doesn't make videos in english.

[@vasred4265]

The pic with Dennis Wolf was insane - we all knew that Ruhl could make Jay & Ronnie look like children in terms of mass and how Ruhl's delts were massive, but seeing Ruhl having delts that were almost double the size of Wolf's delts makes even more comical LOL.

[@J.c410]

lmao "we all know", ehh ... no, markus made ronnie look "small" in a few show only, in most contest ronnie was a complelte giant to the point where he came in a full 16lbs heavier than markus at one point, if you take conditionning into consideration ronnie is the biggest bodybuilder of all time, even bigger than ramy, just see how ramy dropped to 285 lst yaer on saturday final day because he dropped water and was still far from ronnie's conditionning

[@nerlandr]

markus ruhl is insane, his shape is weird like you said almost alien like,,, its kinda like when playstation came out and they had polygon graphics that were blocky, like final fantasy 7 and tomb raiders and all those 3d games where people looked "blocky and a bit off" he is literally the real life version of those first generation 3d video game grahpics lol!

[@enigmayt1305]

I don't know if it's just me but Ronnie sort of reminds me of Paul Dillet too, especially with respect to the thickness of his arms, his massive and well rounded upper chest and all of the incredibly freaky vascularity visible in these affermentioned areas in particular. Before I grew interested in bodybuilding I would often stumble across pictures of these two when surfing the web and confuse them for the same person. In fact, some of the pictures of Dillet I saw being used in memes back then were so darn freaky I was certain for the longest time I was looking at shopped photos. It wasn't until I happened upon channels like this that I finally realized that these mass monsters really are this big and freaky without being shopped and I've had a new appreciation for the sport and the men and women who participate in it ever since. Keep up the great work Tomn8er, your channel is a great bodybuilding resource both for those who are relatively new to the sport and seasoned fans alike

[@Wikingking]

Nice video, Tom, the freaks are among us :) My only concern is that Wolf could have been an honorable mention, because while he is not a cloud-looking abomination like others on this list, but he has the height the weight and the width to qualify as a freak. Although he remained fairly proportional, so maybe not, dunno :) But he doesn't look that smaller than good old Markus on their picture. The list is on point, Rühl is definitely the freakiest guy ever, and his NoC shape was out of this world, had he come to the olympia in a shape like that, he'd been mopping the floor with anyone anywhere.

[@Tomn8er]

Bertil was a beast no question. But even at only 5'8", 240 is nothing out of the ordinary by modern standards. If this list was more factoring in historic context then of course he makes it, same with Ferrigno. But that's not the approach I took.

[@johnklinger6887]

Tomn8ter i agree with your number 1 choice for sure. 2002 was a crazy year. I feel Marcus Rhul doesn't get enough credit in the bodybuilding world.. i believe he should have 1 at least one Olympia. He truly is the German Dorian Yates when he's on that is. He idolized Dorian actually so its a reason I'm comparing it like that. Speaking of the only one that has ever had that wow factor that comes close was Dorian Yates in 1993 which I feel was a crazy year. Only reason I'm saying Dorian and not Ronnie is Dorian already was off season guest posing at 300 pounds. And his off season conditioning even is amazing. But only saying Dorian for the shear fact he was the first to kinds make ppl and judges jaws drop. But was glad to see he was higher then what I thought you were going to put. Just my opinion bud love seeing others a opinions that's what makes this sport fun and interesting. Being a mens physique competitor i obviously follow it closely and ik im clearly not a mass monster but i still respect the mass just would never want that lol Good video man
