The 2020 Olympia champion looks primed to compete for another title this year.
Mamdouh Elssbiay, better known as Big Ramy, put on a show during the 2020 Olympia and was able to take home the title. This was his first title and looks ready to try and make it back-to-back in October.
Big Ramy is usually one of the biggest competitors when he steps on stage. He has an incredible physique with massive legs that puts him in position to win any competition he takes place in. There have been some critiques but he is looking like he is making adjustments ahead of the 2021 Olympia.
In preparation for the biggest competition of the year, Big Ramy is looking insane in training.
Big Ramy appeared in the 2017 Olympia and performed well against Phil Heath, a seven-time champion. He finished second in this competition before falling to sixth the very next year. He did not compete during the 2019 Olympia and Brandon Curry took home the prize. In 2020, Big Ramy was able to top both Curry and Heath.
Since becoming a pro in 2012, Big Ramy has won five competitions. This includes his first as a pro at the 2013 New York Pro. He has competed in seven Olympias thus far so he knows what to expect heading in. If Big Ramy is at his best, he will be difficult to beat.
There is no doubt that Big Ramy will be in a position to win once again but it will not be easy. There is a long list of talented competitors that have already qualified. This includes Curry and William Bonac, who said he wants to beat Big Ramy at his best. When these athletes take the stage, there will be plenty of size and Big Ramy could lead the way. Coming off a victory last year, there is plenty of momentum and confidence this time around.
