Markus Rühl (born 22 February 1972 in Roßdorf, near Darmstadt, West Germany) is a retired IFBB professional bodybuilder, widely regarded as one of the biggest mass monsters the sport has produced. He began training at 18 on a doctor's advice after a knee injury from playing football, won the Hessian and German amateur championships in 1997 and then earned his pro card. He won the 2000 Toronto Pro and the 2002 Night of Champions, and his best Mr. Olympia result was fifth in 2004. He later ran a gym and founded his own supplement company.
