That's sort of weird.. Ruhl was supposed to have such a crappy structure a that winning a pro show would be a no-no. Apparently not. Muscle he has, no doubt. Bautista must have been in good shape, placing that high. Dillett must be pissed. Can't wait to see pictures.

what the f**k happenned to the huge Tom Prince? I can't believe he finished at the 7th place!!!
any pictures of the show?

Does anybody know who is competing at the Toronto Pro show on the 23rd of may...i imagine some of the guys that just did the NOC should be there...XXL

paco is amazing i know the guy ,he is also a cool guy and he has just done history for spain ever,well done paco

so far this is all that i can find

crap, just goto www.flexonline.com

I really don't like the physic of bob cicherillo and francisco bautista... i'm sure Tom Prince should have beaten them...but I wait for all the pictures...

Here's one more link:

Yes Ruhl is one of the ugliest bber to ever win a contest. The ugliest? I thought there were to be new criteria in order to keep this spot alive. I was wrong. It's unhealtier and anhealthier.

ok, looking at the pics from the link above a couple of observations jmo....

1. darrem charles is a shredded boy amongst not so shredded men.
2. melvin anthony looks harder than other people are saying, and just call craig titus captain distendo.
3. chick has a strange looking physique
4. paco has a bad case of gyno just standing still and a sick amount of synthol in his shoulders.
5. paul dillet looked pretty good .
6. tom prince looked much better than his placing

another sad ifbb show it seems like

this is someone's view of the show, pretty good reading

those pics tell it all. marcus was at his best, and light years away from the rest.

paco? wtf. no chest, gyno for days, the most fucked up syntholed shoulders since kovacs. horrible structure. embarresing.

chick? couldnt really make a judgement as the pictures of him werent very good, and havent seen much of him in the past.

dillett. from what i could tell he looked pretty good, but i am sure he still has the softest back in bodybuilding.

prince? from the comments of people who where there, his knee injury brought his legs down alot, and thus, his physique.

just looked at the link...I don't understand why the judges put cicherillo and bautista at the 2nd and the 3rd place!!!
melvin Anthony looked harder and very better than them!!
I thought that IFBB was going to change their criteria and they wouldn't accept synthol!
yep,that's right,another sad IFBB show...:(

Markus Ruhl looked distusting. His stomache was poking out like crazy. The judges really need to look at the stomache of compettitors before making a decision. OK he was big but who cares! I'm disappointed in this.

Ruhl is a freak! he deserved the win

Guys, this is definitely one show that you had to attend in order to have an opinion. Markus was definitely the winner. He has never looked so good. He may not have the classical structure as Darrem or Melvin but he looked great on stage. The whole theatre was not in agreement with Bautista in 3rd, he should have placed 2nd. I know he has got those crazy synthol delts and tities for days but the guy was huge and in fenominal shape. I would have placed Dillet a little lower. JD should have placed a couple of places higher. Some of the new guys looked really good but I felt based on names alone they were placed lower than they should have been. i.e Mustafa Mohammed, Eddie Abew, Wille Stalling, Gustavo Badell.

This was a great show and a definitel must see if you are ever in NY.
