0:00 Yo, I'm gonna be reviewing a video about Marcus Ruhl. He's a retired professional bodybuilder.

[video] 0:07 If you really want to grow, to become the biggest, strongest version of yourself in the shortest time possible, your nutrition has to be 100%. It's more important than the training itself. There's more power in food alone than most realize.

0:22 i wasn't i've never seen a bodybuilder who eats a good diet what does it have to do with the nutrition by type relatively slim very very thin i had to eat a lot of carbohydrates exactly yeah he felt like he's too small weak thin whatever and that's why he started doing it exactly as i explained to you that's why people use drugs steroids growth hormones because they feel too small and they still keep eating the same food which created the biological being that they were before nothing changes The only change is that they start using the drugs. That's it? You started because of malnutrition? And that's how you will end it also?

1:29 now let's take a look at how marcus rule prepared his meals during his prime bot oh what is that that looks super disgusting man and the guy when he was in his 30s he already looked like he's in his 50s if not even 60s now he's actually in his 50s but that's not the footage from now rebuilding days

[video] 1:55 In this scene, Markus is in the kitchen, cooking up one of his classic meals. Spaghetti with chicken breast and some veggies.

2:02 Spaghetti is grain sludge, just sugar, veggies, just pesticides with fiber, no nutrients. What does it have to do with your nutrition exactly?

[video] 2:11 He tops it off with a bit of cheese and a splash of ketchup.

2:15 Yeah, some overcooked meat and cheese, as always. Cooked meat doesn't have over 50% of the nutrients, which is in raw meat, seeing as it has been destroyed. Something from the cheese also, but that's not gonna build muscle.

2:38 At the very best, you can maybe maintain a little bit. It's all drugs. What the fuck are you talking about? It's nutrition.

[video] 2:45 Simple, but effective.

2:50 It's not effective. It's effective because of the drugs. If you're not on drugs, this doesn't work.

[video] 2:56 He starts by taking raw chicken breast and cutting it into small bite-sized pieces.

[video] 3:07 I still need to stay somewhat lean for the guest appearances I have coming up, but obviously no more competition done. Still, I always cut off the gross fat.

3:15 The gross fat? What?

[video] 3:19 Adds another packet of chicken, eyeballing around 800 grams in total. Trim the chicken breast carefully, removing any visible fat so that only pure, lean meat remains. He sprays a pan with some fat-free Pam cooking spray and tosses all the chicken in to cook.

3:34 This absolute fat phobia that these people have. Always when they use drugs, they say don't eat any fat or eat very little fat. But somebody who watches this, some impressionable teenager, they will not even understand what's going on. You cannot produce any hormones yourself then. Especially testosterone, which would be important. You will become super weak and sick if you eat like this.

[video] 4:08 While the chicken sizzles, Markus moves on to the carbs. He grabs a handful of spaghetti, roughly 600 to 700 grams, again eyeballing the quantity. Marcus loves adding spices to bring flavor to the meat, but here's the key.

4:24 Yeah, because especially when you don't eat with fat, it has no taste.

[video] 4:30 He uses a sodium-free. He avoids sodium as much as possible because, in his words, it messes with the shape of his physique. Next.

4:39 Water retention? Or what?

[video] 4:43 He adds a Mexican vegetable mix to the chicken, loaded with peppers, carrots, and other colorful veggies. He gives it all a good stir, making sure everything's well blended and cooked just right. And just like that, the food is ready. Time to fuel the beast.

5:01 It's not even really food, what beast? A beast would be eating raw meat, raw liver, drinking blood, not using drugs, this is... A biological garbage disposal machine. You eat grain sludge, some slime made into this form of noodles, spaghetti, with some overcooked meat. Over 50% of the protein is destroyed. And you just use drugs all the time. What beasts? What the fuck is this shit?

[video] 5:37 Now Marcus is digging in. Not with a plate, but with a big plastic bowl.

5:43 But think about it. If you work out and you eat exactly like this, you will look nothing like him. It's all drugs. What fucking nutrition? The food is not even nutritious.

[video] 6:04 little bit of carbohydrates protein fat as little as possible that's how i do my diet i don't count calories i don't give a many people ask me how many calories i can okay that's nice because most bodybuilders do they count everything in stricted diet maybe about 4 000 a day which is a lot when you see in how i eat it it's only rice and occasionally fish

[video] 6:29 Gain weight, basically, increase your protein, increase your carbs, and try not to eat too many bad ones. You've got to eat. It's all about food. Food is the most anabolic compound. You can take all the drugs in the world. People think, oh, if I go take all these drugs, I'm going to be huge, or this or that. No, no, no, no. It's all about training and diet.

6:50 No, it's not at all. There is even vegans who look pretty much as big as him. What food it's a 90% drugs. Okay. You also have to count the training, but, uh, I meant as far as food and drugs go. Okay. Overall, then it's maybe.

7:13 70 drugs 20 training and 10 food at most if even that it's not about the food at all basically that's what it's really about eat a lot of rice uh eat a lot yeah rice only has sugar and arsenic so only sugar basically So what then? Are you saying that we need a lot of sugar and that builds muscles? That makes no fucking sense.

[video] 7:43 It's all about the drugs.

7:50 Baked potatoes also literally only have sugar. It's all sugar only. So you get big like that by eating sugar. Do you even listen to yourself?

[video] 8:03 The way that they do because of drugs? You guys are all wrong.

8:06 Yeah, you're all wrong. Look, you need to eat chips made with seed oils. That's the solution. You're all wrong. You're wrong, man. Chips are the solution. Sugar and seed oils and toxins. That's how it works.

[video] 8:23 It's not. Because if that was the case, anybody with a thick wallet could go buy a bunch of gear and they're going to look huge and ripped. Is this...

8:34 What is he doing? Why does he make a video say that it's not about the drugs and then he shows him eating chips? Did he not watch what he's doing? Did somebody else edit it or what?

[video] 8:45 But you literally show him not eating right. What?

9:02 He eats chips, chocolate bars, rice and potatoes. It's only sugar all the time. What the fuck? Look at also the condition of the skin. The very severe acne.

9:23 The scars, which will never go away. I've seen videos of him from now, from last year. Looks horrible, really destroyed his life. Just because he felt like he's not big enough.

[video] 9:37 But taking steroids will make you look like Marcus Ruhl. But no, it won't.

[video] 9:43 You might believe you can build shoulders like his, but that's a dream that'll never come true.

9:48 That's a nightmare. Who wants to look like that? Who on earth wants to have shoulders like that?

[video] 9:56 Unless you've got the same rare genetics.

10:00 What about his genetics? What's special about it?

10:09 Ronnie Coleman is in a wheelchair. One of the greatest what?

[video] 10:13 It's like Marcus. That kind of freaky size. That cartoonish width. It's not just about drugs or training. It's genetics. Marcus Ruhl was a one-of-a-kind genetic specimen. According to the data, Marcus Ruhl was eating around 7,000 calories a day just to keep his massive physique running. And let's be honest, no matter how big you are,

10:32 Which one is it then, genetics or nutrition? It's neither.

[video] 10:37 Eating that much food every single day, year after year, is no joke. Now imagine doing it with clean food, not junk. That takes a whole different level of dis- But he only eats junk.

10:49 Yeah, and some overcooked chicken breast. Really, you could also call that junk. He sold that as complete junk food. Complete. Total garbage.

11:02 What are you talking about?

[video] 11:03 Yeah, exactly. Literally. That's what we are looking at. What? What do you mean clean? What the fuck does clean mean to these bodybuilders?

11:13 Eating clean would be...

11:32 Butchering an animal and eating the raw meat that's as clean as any food gets What is clean about eating? toxins and processed seeds and potatoes covered in seed oils It's the most unclean food on earth If you want to get huge that's what it takes if you're not ready for that don't waste your time training hard because Actually, by the way, I should mention something. A lot of these people believe that when you take testosterone and whatnot, you will get acne because of that. No. Testosterone naturally is an antioxidant. How the synthetic testosterone works in the body, that's a different question. Maybe it does provoke actual acne because of the toxins, which you will also be injecting if you do that, along with it. That's possible, but

12:28 usually these people start eating way more food which isn't really food because they need it to fuel the body because the body is growing so much and because they eat more junk they get more acne and because testosterone is an antioxidant it also helps you to detox that's what's going on usually typically if it's uh pure and clean not that it can really be because it's not natural then you wouldn't get the acne from the hormones themselves. You get it because you eat more and more junk. If you would be taking it, which I don't recommend, and eating raw meat, then you wouldn't be getting that crazy acne, the back acne and everywhere. It's not caused by that. It's caused by the food that you're eating because you eat way more of the junk. And his diet was junk. That's why you could see the crazy acne scars everywhere and even right now.

[video] 13:24 Yeah, it's freaky, but that's not a good thing. You don't want to be a freak or look freakish. That's something that was always looked down upon. Up until today. Now people look up to people like that.

[video] 13:58 When I'm on a diet, it's only rice. Sometimes a few potatoes. Or I have rice, because it's the best of all.

14:07 Why listen best and schmeckt? Did he say that it tastes the best? I think the translations are a bit wrong. Whatever the case, it's shit. Right? As I said, it's arsenic with sugar. That's it. That's all that you're getting. Toxins with sugar? Which will kill you quicker. It causes death.

[video] 14:30 I know there's also rice at Lidl. I like it best.

14:33 Really good. Lidl is a slave store. There's no food in there.

[video] 14:38 It doesn't taste as disgusting as basmati rice, because I don't like the taste. A lot of athletes use olive oil and other stuff while dieting. I still think that's total nonsense. They say it's good fat, but fat is fat to me. If I want to lose fat, why should I eat more fat? Makes no sense. People swear by nuts and oil. I think it's crap. I don't buy it. I'm old school. My food doesn't taste good. I'm tired of eating.

15:05 Yeah, oils are bad for you, those kind of plant oils, but if you don't consume any fat at all, even from animals, that's not any better.

[video] 15:16 The same thing over and over again. I don't eat for taste. I eat for an outcome, and that's muscle mass. I eat to grow. I eat to get bigger. You need to be like a dog. You need to eat regimented and consistently just like a dog.

[video] 15:30 Marcus Rule in the off-season was just insane. We're talking about a guy who reportedly ate around 7,000 calories a day. Yeah, 7,000. And there are actual videos out there of him not just eating a ridiculous amount of food, but also chain-smoking cigarettes while doing it.

15:46 I'll also look at just the red face and the wrinkles that he's creating. All the strain on the muscles, the skin. Just look at it. No, really. You're blind if you don't see it. Open up your fucking eyes and your mind. You've been manipulated and now look at this guy with this kind of a face expression. Pure misery, absolute depression.

16:25 You're basically looking at somebody who's half dead. Look at him. Is he enjoying what he's doing? Is this coming from a place of happiness? Is this a happy human being? Who likes what he's doing? Who's happy with his life? His body? The fuck is wrong with you? Look at him!

[video] 16:45 Now, let's be real. It wasn't exactly the healthiest lifestyle.

16:54 Why do you say then that it was about his nutrition and he was eating clean? What?

[video] 17:01 You go back and watch those old videos or look at the pictures. Marcus didn't have the most aesthetic look in the offseason. His gut was blown out.

17:08 What do you mean aesthetic? Look, aesthetic really just means beauty. There's no such bodies in nature. Eh? What's aesthetic about it anyway? You have to be completely brainwashed to look at somebody having tumors growing out of the bones. That's what it looks like. And then say, wow, that looks aesthetic. That looks beautiful. Eh?

[video] 17:36 His face looked super red and puffy and the guy was always sweating like crazy.

17:41 Yeah, look. Potatoes made in seed oils and grain sludge. With a red sauce to imitate animals. There's nothing to look up to here. There's nothing aesthetic about it. Nothing healthy. It's all anti-life. This is horrible. Stop promoting this. These videos are bullshit. Stop making these fucking videos on YouTube, man.

[video] 18:03 He didn't look healthy. And honestly, he probably wasn't living the healthiest way either.

18:07 You're completely contradicting your whole video now all of a sudden. You were saying that he was eating clean and everything. It's probably made by AI anyway.

[video] 18:21 But here's the thing, he was still an absolute freak of nature, a mountain of muscle.

18:26 He wasn't a freak of nature, he was a freak of drugs, a freak of big pharma. There's nothing natural about it. There's nothing to do with his genetics or nutrition. He was a freak, a junkie freak. There's nothing cool about this at all.

18:47 So there's nothing good about being big because you're obese. There's nothing healthy about it. What's good about being obese? He was literally, by the definition of the word, obese. His BMI was very deep in the category of obese beyond that.

19:06 Ah, it's just... These people are hopeless.

[video] 19:12 Yeah, because he didn't care about his buddy.

19:18 Yeah, that's him, Markus, the guy who didn't care about himself. No, I take that back. That would be one thing. It's that he was trying to destroy himself. That's worse. It's one thing to just not care about your life or health, but it's another thing when you consciously destroy it.

[video] 19:43 If you train day and night, take every supplement of the sun, but you don't eat protein, which is the fuel for the muscle tissue, you're not going to grow. For protein, it was eggs, beef and chicken. He got his fats from things like nut butters, avocados and egg yolks. And when it came to carbs, he loaded up on rice, oatmeal, and potatoes. You can bench press a thousand pounds, but if you don't feed your muscle to recover, you're not going to get bigger, you're not going to grow, you're not going to progress. You want to have that meal soon after you work out. Blood carries nutrients to the muscle, so a pump is showing you that you're stimulating the muscle, you're getting blood.

20:18 Yeah, and then wouldn't the logical conclusion be drink blood?

[video] 20:22 Wow, what a great inspirational video.

20:44 Awesome.

20:48 Is that what people actually think when they see that? Only people who are really insecure. It's one thing if you feel like you're too weak and too small and you go to the gym because you simply didn't develop as well as your ancestors. understandable, sort of, not that I recommend it, but then when you look at him and he has basically what looks like tumors everywhere and just veins popping out, skin is red with pus everywhere and you think, oh wow, I want to be like him. Then think about what's wrong with you. What could possibly drive you to want to look that big? And it's Not even big. What is big? It's not aesthetic, that's for sure. It's not beautiful.

21:41 it's not a natural human physique yes i guess that you can say that you look big wide but think about it as i said in the video about jesse james west what would you actually want if you could trade this is a good question would you want those big steroid tumor-like muscles let's say a biceps and triceps Or if you could, would you trade it for simply bigger bones, bigger wrists, bigger hands, thicker finger bones and the length also bigger, wider and longer? What would you choose? Everybody would choose the bones because that's what you really want. subconsciously most likely, you're probably not conscious of why you do it. But that's the actual reason. Because nobody actually wants those kind of muscles.

22:40 You do that as a way to sort of compensate because you were malnourished. especially during puberty. You didn't produce the hormones that you needed. You didn't get the fat soluble vitamins and minerals that you need. You simply didn't eat naturally, or at least close to naturally. You ate cereal with pasteurized milk, or worse, some kind of almond soy milk, which is what kids get today, and also later as a teenager. All of those years are important. As a young adult, With some super overcooked sausage, chicken without fat. There's nothing left there anyway. Most of the nutrients are gone. And vegetables and rice. Potatoes, what he eats. You're eating absolute shit, you cannot even develop. And then, of course, you feel as if you didn't develop into the human being which you should be. And then you look at him and think, I want to be like that.

23:40 In reality, you don't. In reality, you would actually want different kind of bones, which you are not going to be getting anymore after puberty, for the most part. And then you hop on the drugs. That's what's going on today. And people like this are horrible. The people who make videos about guys like this, talking about it as if it's something good that he achieved, it's not good whatsoever. And also guys like Markus himself, who actually promote it, they may not directly say, use drugs to be like me, but they also don't say, Look at me, look at how unhealthy I am. I was simply insecure. That's why I did it. It was really a bad idea to do it for my health. I know that I will die prematurely. If they have children, which they usually don't, they could say, I know that I will leave my children without a father behind and so on.

24:37 But you don't hear any of this from any of them.

24:42 That's why these people are such a horrible influence. If they would say, I know why I did it. It's super unhealthy. I'm such a bad influence on people. Then it would be one thing. Then you could say, okay, you did your thing. We know that it's bad for you. You know it. Well, there's nothing that we can do about it, you will just live your life the way you want to. That's it. But you just don't hear anything like this from any of these people. And how could you even? Because then they would have to confront themselves, do some self-reflection and realize what they are doing. Seeing as they don't do that, you will never hear any of this from these people. Because they are not even really conscious of why they do it themselves. this all goes back to being malnourished.

25:36 And the only way that you can change the future of your children is to nourish them well with a lot of organs, liver, especially brain. They need to be eating really nutrient-rich foods or they will end up in a similar way because They will feel insecure for sure and then the solution will be something like this something really self-destructive Think about the future of your children if you didn't think about your own future. Thanks for watching
