@kingsprott no disrespect to ruhl but alexey will (if not already) be a way bigger name in bb industry. ruhl didn't place that well in the more known competitions. he was only known for being huge but lesukov got the arnold classic even tho he wasnt in his best conditioning meaning his symmetry and proportion not to mention size are phenomenal
he looks really good, except for his mid-section. The judges take off points for having that bloated look around the abdomen area. Sometimes you'll see guys with over developed obliques which take away that V-Shaped waist line look, and no matter how much they try to dry themselves out, they're not able to flatten out the mid-section enough. I thinks it's petty because for some people, there's really not much they can do about it. But that's the politics of this sport. :-(
