Big Ramy started working out 3 years ago and now he is already being considered a top tier pro.

Is he revolutionizing the "sport" by breaking down old practices?

Whereas many modern day IFBB pros will preach about the need to pay dues in order to excel, Ramy just went ahead and crossed over to the top tier category without having to break too much of a sweat.

Was it solely due to his physique or are we just seeing a change of tide in the "sport"?

they is jealous bitches.. his physique will (or not) do the talking...!

Ramys strength is the current mr.Os weakness, think about it.

chest- ramy
legs- without question ramy!
back- idk maybe ramy or phil. Ramys wider but phil has detail. need to see a side by side.
delts- ramy
arms- ramy or phil. need to see side by side.
waist- both have good waists, but ramy is just SO MUCH BIGGER.

without politics and all that junk Ramy has a shot.

also paying your dues is different for each guy.

I remember watching in interview where Flex wheeler(the one with Ronnie and I think Shawn aswell and they were all sitting at the table) compared genetics to cars. I think he compared a Mercedes AMG to a Volkswagen. good genetics vs bad genetics. no matter what you do to it, the Mercedes is always going to be better/faster.

(^ maybe someone here can find the real interview, I don't have the exact details on how he compared them).

Ramy just has insane 1 out of a million type genetics. its like levrone, train for 6 months get 2nd at the Olympia, while the guy in 15th place trains everyday...its all about what God has given you.

  • Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.


Haha Ramy would have to first get to stand next to Heath and that is up to the judges and that's where the pay your dues thing and marketability aspect comes into play.

Even if he made it all the way up to Phil, Heath is already two steps ahead of the line ;D

Ramy has much better structure and denser looking muscle than Phil. To be fair, he has wider waist and is somewhat reminding me of Cutler's look.

That would be cool if they judged parts not poses but that's not how it works.

Lol  , they judge POSES you can't break down parts pick who has ' better ' ones and decide who should win off of that , not how it works. And it's not just poses it's poses AND density AND dryness AND size AND balance AND proportion AND posing AND presentation

there was no ''paying your dues'' those who became pro and were immediate threat were placing high like Levrone and Wheeler.

I tend to agree with this , winners almost always separate themselves immediately , there are exceptions like Ronnie but he was an anomaly all around.

I want some of the crack you're smoking but no one touches phil when it comes to Arms. Ramy needs to sharpen his leg detail

Paying your Dues? Jeezus chirst what the fuck does that even mean in this "sport."

Did big Ramy spend time riding the pine, spending extra hours learning the play book, took extra laps after practice? forgoes glory to set up solid plays for others? Is he a leader in the locker room?

How the fuck does one pay their dues in a beauty pagent? Either you look good or you don't. What a ridiculous notion.

Success in bodybuilding is all striated glutes, distended gut, synthoil and G4P....If he sticks to that plan and invests in the right thong he will go far.

I can see ramy beating some of the Olympia top 6 from last year,i.e. branch,wolf and maybe even dex depending what shape dex comes in at.rhoden,kai,culer and heath will hard to match up to.

He ain't beating dex, dex is one of the best still competing only ones that can beat him consistently would be jay, Kai and Phil, Rhoden won't do it again at the O

His unibrow didn't pay their dues therefore prevented him from winning
