UPDATE: Hey everyone. Had to remove the first entry, Dorian Yates 1993, due to a copyright claim by LondonReal (otherwise the video was blocked from TH-cam altogether). Unfortunately this also included my introductory statements but whatever, it's an old video anyway and the title pretty much speaks for itself.
That's Coleman..whose upper traps got so disproportionally massive that when he did a front lat spread..his lats disappeared due to his huge traps making him look hunched over
He is the biggest in my opinion, just look at him! He should have done the Hulk live action, not Lou Ferrigno (Lou's Hulk looks small in comparison to what Ruhl could have done!)
Honestly speaking I find Jay Cutler’s physique to be one of the absolute most aesthetically pleasing mass monster builds of all time. Not just the quad stomp but seeing him in the front relaxed is unreal. Also he had hair! A rare sight among a lot of the highly juiced open class competitors.
too bad Yates would beat him on stage And I seriously doubt he'd make him look small 275-280 lb Nasser couldnt, why would a soft watery 285 lb Coleman manage it?
@@TheLusianPopa the overall consensus is that Nasser got robbed, I agree with this. As for Ronnie, a commodore 64 usually makes everything look "watery" I'd upgrade if I where you.
TheLusianPopa you are on crack if you think Yates would beat Ronnie on stage buddy. I think Yates had a better back than Ronnie but Ronnie is better than him in nearly every other body part.
The first time i saw pictures of Ruhl Night of Champion in casual paper magazine, i thought it was a meme photoshopped, the head was clearly too small compare to the body to be real, Yeah Markus has reach the freakiest Muscle body of all time, Ron is right behind with Jay, and Phil Heath is just an anomaly in this ranking so many bodybuilders have achieved much better physics in their careers.
Judge: How many most muscular versions can you do? Ruhl: yes. He is the freak of freaks - for me, that 2002 NOC look was definitely the most shocking of these all.
No doubt. Phil prolly looked the best, but Ruhl was just. I don’t even know. A freak. That’s prolly the most mass you’ll ever see with that conditioning.
Man I forgot HOW good Phil was in 2011. Overall my favorite version of him along with his shape at the 2010 Arnold. Back when the midsection was completely tight and he didn't have a walrus neck ;)
1:53 Imagine that physique on this year's olympia stage... or any stage (+the lighting!!!). 2002 Markus Rühl is probably the freakiest thing I've ever seen. Great video as alway, Tom. Love your original ideas.
@@grignungbongo6383 I give him 3 years bongo. Next up: 500 lbs RIPPED bodybuilders from a peptide in development right now for burn victims that tripled the lean muscle mass of lab rats.
@Carter Davenport l got the lame over used joke. But it gets annoying when people constantly. Point out the obvious. Roids are the norm especially in bodybuilding. To bodybuilding what frosting icing piping is to a bakery. They go together when will people accept it and get over the fact. People been saying it for decades. Lets say it for 500 more years.
Man even though Markus probably didn't quite have what it takes to win a Mr. Olympia, I still wish he did! That freakiness has to be rewarded, there's nothing like it.
I think Flex Wheeler at the 1993 Arnold Classic also shocked the bodybuilding world with his size, aesthetics, conditioning and full muscle bellies, beating favourites Lee Labrada and Vince Taylor. I also think Lee Haney in 1984 shocked the world, as he came in about 15 pounds of muscle bigger than the previous year. I agree Heath in 2011 was better than 2010, but I wouldn't call it shocking as it was clear in 2010 he would be the next Mr. Olympia.
If there another spot, I would’ve put either Lee Haney or Samir Bannout. Probably Lee Haney since he perfected having size while being so damn aesthetic.
People talk about Dorians’s foreman’s(and rightfully so), but damn look at Ronnies! People don’t realize how big his forearms were because his his biceps were so huge too.
I met Markus Rühl a few months ago at a meet and greet. I would consider myself a muscular guy, but beside him i felt like a hipster! Its insane ... over 10 years after his retirment and 17 after NOC. But he didnt look to healthy.
Dorian was still big.Even in the 70s the guy's were mass monsters.An interview with Ronnie he said if Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing it at his time he would have looked small with the science in nutrition and knowledge.
2009 is Jays best year. Those foot stomp photos are historical. The pictures are legendary like Dorian’s black and gray gym photos. Cutler is the best ambassador for the sport. They should make him more involved with the IFBB.
Maybe not on the list of 5 most mind-blowing physiques to shock the bodybuilding world, but Kevin Levrone's 1999 Grand Prix showing has to be up there. To me it was an iconic performance and arguably the best package from one of the all-time greats. He had the lower body to match his upper that show (legs always being a slight weakness for him), was shredded, full, had great shape, and overall looked insane with the lighting.
Awesome video! I think you could have added Arnold in 1970, when he finally beat Sergio Oliva and also Lee Haney when he dominated in 1984. Both were changing of the guard type moments and both Arnold and Haney took the sport to greater heights.
Yeah was thinking Arnold in 74 actually and Samir in 83. Wasn't sure what version of Haney to include as most of his wins came before I was born and the surviving photos and video aren't much to go by. Same with Oliva. Can't remember who else would've rounded out the top 10 but maybe that's partially why I scaled it back to top 5 lol
@@Tomn8er Haha nice. Yeah Samir's physique was pretty revolutionary in 83! Definitely would have loved to see it make the list too. But so hard to choose because all the choices looked so dang good haha.
Ruhl has a lat spread that was so wide it started to close in on the front. R.W the beast is starting to get that way with his lat spread. Shoulders start to come forward instead of out to the side!
When it comes to body building, mass and muscle definition comes to mind and with this as a criteria for a general audience, there is nobody better than the old Ronnie. He was a monster!
In my opinion a pretty remarkable and shocking physic is Kevin levrone British gp 1999 where he came on stage with that Hulk-like look without a distended mid section and with amazing conditioning.I think he should be added in this list

@@UniqueCarsChannel lol i'm sure you have an outstanding physique
Rick the bomb vest he wears makes him look big under a jacket 😉
Absolutely epic! When I first seen it on the cover of muscle and fitness (I think), I thought it had to be photo shopped

I think he muscles thicker than anybody
he's a mutant

He was sinking
That's why he mentioned him as the character venom

You could make a series about the most legendary bodybuilding photos. Immediately Jays stomp - abb and thigh or Frank Zanes vacuum pose comes to mind
Yeah great idea. Actually had that one on the backburner for a long time but it somehow slipped thru the cracks.
@@Tomn8er Arnold side chest, Sergio Oliva victory pose, Paul Dillet terminator looking. There are many to choose.
Add that black and white picture of flex to the mix

You been working on your
“I’ll be back” sounds good bro lol
lol nah it's hit or miss just got lucky
Marcus rhul was the secret genetic super soldier Hitler was trying to make omg
Imagin him with a MG 34 and a black uniform
Ronnie 2003 will remains at the OH SHIT moment forever. Pure insanety that year
His ass cheeks are more muscular than the judges
No steroids were used in the making of this video 😂
And all of them were/are vegan natty.
@M Harish I'm not sure about that. They may eat back stage, you know.

I agree with all 5 of these too bro...I would say tho Jay in 2009 is my favorite physique of all time...that quad stomp is epic!
a 2002 Ruhl would be unstoppable in 2019
He did not have an aesthetic physique. Also there was obvious use of oil in different places.
Yar Pic lol if you would have yoused oil he would have put it in his weak triceps.
@Schwanzus Longus agreed.
He would have win many
Naw. Too blocky.
Markus ruhl is an absolute unit there’s no gaps between his muscles
I truly think Marcus Ruhl is the guy who achieved the goal of building the most amount of muscle possible on a human frame
Whenever I see Markus Ruhi, the villain of Hulk movie comes in my mind
When Dorian does the bow at the end and you see his back muscles from that looking down angle...holy...
2002 Markus Ruhl's physique is almost unachievable, that happens only once...
He converted Night of Champion to Night of Freak
I was there in 2009. Jay's physique was just GLORIOUS

Yeah but not the same impact as 93. He did look more impressive there though I agree and the lighting was nuts

Funny how the random fat guy on the internet call them disgusting
Gilga ofc they are disgusting they look far from human. Impressive sure but under no circumstances pretty
They don’t look impressive. They simply look ugly.

They all are amazing, but Jay's quads, and the size comparison of his calves to his upper arms is very big and well proportioned.
