Markus Rühl


Markus Rühl is a retired IFBB professional bodybuilder. Rühl began training at the age of 18 following a doctor's recommendation after sustaining a knee injury while playing football. At 120 lb., Rühl began training hard six days a week until deciding to compete on a professional level five years later. During this period he worked as a used-car salesman. Rühl signed a sponsorship deal with the famous brand Ultimate Nutrition in late 2008. In 2018 he started his own supplement company, Rühl's Bestes.

Legacy

Although Rühl's physique lacked the symmetry and proportionality to ever win a Mr. Olympia title, he is considered to be one of the biggest "mass monster" bodybuilders who ever lived.
