Big Ramy the greatest bodybuilder ever
Mamdouh Elssbiay
Mamdouh Elssbiay is conveniently called “Big Ramy” and rightfully so. It was only two years ago when seemingly out of nowhere, he won the New York Pro 2013 (and became a father the same night). I wrote about this in “Results New York Pro 2013.” It was his first competition as a pro. He had previously qualified for the Mr. Olympia 2013 where he finished 8th that year.Biography “Big Ramy”
Mamdouh was born in Egypt into a fishing family and worked as a fisherman until he was 22. After moving to Kuwait with his brothers, he started training in 2003. His big inspirations at that time were Dorian Yates followed by Victor Martinez. Interestingly, it was the same Victor Martinez who had to watch as Big Ramy snatched the first place in New York, 2013. However, he had only been training since 2003 for a little over half a year when he had to stop due to an accident. I cannot find anywhere what kind of accident that was, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it had something to do with gamma radiation or falling into a vat of growth hormone. It wasn’t until 2010 that he picked up where he left off. Yes, you heard it right; this giant has only been seriously into bodybuilding for 5 years and obtained his pro license within 3 years!O2 Gym
He started training that year at Oxygen Gym where he got a job. In 2011, his weight was still around 97 kilograms with not too low body fat percentage. The gym owner Bader Boodai (who is the biggest bodybuilding promoter in Kuwait) saw his potential and asked the well-known bodybuilder Dennis James, who regularly visited the gym, to mentor him. The following year, Ramy was in competition shapBig Ramy Biography

His second-place showing capped off a five-year period of gradual improvement. Big Ramy finished eighth at his first Mr. Olympia in 2013 and then had seventh, fifth and fourth place showings in subsequent years. He originally won his pro card by winning the 2012 Amateur Olympia in Kuwait City. Big Ramy had just started training three years before capturing that title.

The book As bodybuilding fans are surely aware by now, Phil Heath is still the reigning Mr. Olympia, with an incredible seven titles in a row. But that last one? It sure as hell wasn’t easy, with a certain 5’10”, 300-pound behemoth offering up a brutal fight. Mamdouh Elssbiay—aka “Big Ramy”—has been steadily gaining on Heath and all the other top pros in the IFBB Pro League since earning his pro card by winning the 2012 Amateur Olympia. The 33-year-old’s steady ascension can be measured purely by his Mr. O results: eighth in 2013, seventh in 2014, fifth in 2015, fourth in 2016, and now a runner-up medal in 2017. Along the way, he’s captured five pro titles, including the 2013 and 2014 New York Pro, 2015 Arnold Classic Brazil, 2016 Kuwait Pro, and, just a week after this past Olympia, the Arnold Classic Europe on Sept. 23 in Barcelona, Spain. Now the showdown is set, the irresistible force versus the immovable object, as Heath guns for a record-tying eighth Olympia title, and Big Ramy—indeed, the heaviest pro bodybuilder to ever step onstage—looks to take the next logical, thunderous step upward in his rise to the apex of the sport as he shoots for a rematch at the 2018 Olympia. If Elssbiay ends Heath’s title run, it will be in no small part due to his back, including a rear lat spread striking for its impossible, light-obliterating dimensions that can figuratively swallow other competitors whole. Surely, his approach to back training isn’t likely to change course too much in 2018, as he settles in with his crew at the palatial Oxygen Gym in Kuwait City. There, as he has in the past, he’ll surely lean on exercises that have brought him growth and cuts, including dumbbell rows, lat pulldowns to the front and to the rear, and seated cable rows and machine rows, among other mainstays. About three years ago, the Egyptian-born Elssbiay met trainer Ahmad Alaqi, who introduced a progressive approach to his back, chest, leg, and shoulder workouts. As Alaqi explained “Sandow is home and it will remain here for a very long time, Thank you to all of my fans around the world, I made it because of your love and support,” This is what Big Ramy wrote on his Instagram account after he had managed to defend his title in the renowned Mr. Olympia Championship. Egypt bodybuilding legend Mamdouh Elssbiay aka Big Ramy proved that his victory in the Mr. Olympia 2020 championship was not a stroke of luck, after he achieved the 2021 title for the second time in a row after tough competition from USA’s Brandon Curry. The Mr. Olympia title Ramy won also comes with a prize money of $400,000. With the victory, Big Ramy became the first Egyptian, African and Arab bodybuilder to win the title of the most famous such championship in the world twice in a row. Olympia's most famous and attractive open weight, 37-year-old Big Ramy took to the stage with a massive 300-pound physique and was looking better than when he won the 2020 title. The Egyptian veteran went into the competition as the favorite to win the title, with the majority of bodybuilding fans expecting him to come on top. However, the competition was not an easy one, as Ramy found himself face to face with 2019 Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry, who was trying to reclaim his crown. The tournament witnessed the participation of 16 players from different countries, including the two Egyptians, Mohamed Shaaban and Hassan Mostafa, who failed to qualify for the final round. Mr. Olympia is the world's most famous and largest professional bodybuilding championship, held annually in the United States of America, and Elssbiay has become one of the most prominent competitors for its title in recent years. Big Ramy was born on September 16, 1984, in the resort town of Baltim in the Kafr el-Sheikh Governorate of Egypt, on the Nile River Delta. His father was a fisherman and the same was practiced by Ramy and his brothers. But what made h Big Ramy: From Fisherman To Mr. Olympia For 2nd Year in a Row
