2024 Arnold Classic Line Up

 

[TalkAdmin]

Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay, the former two-time Mr. Olympia, has recently created quite a buzz among his fans and the bodybuilding community with a surprising update on his physique. This update has ignited speculations and rumors about his potential participation in the 2024 Arnold Classic, and we're here to bring you all the details.

Big Ramy's Impressive Physique Update​

On December 12, 2023, Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay took to his Instagram to share a story that showcased his remarkable physique. This update has left many wondering if we will see him return to the bodybuilding stage in the near future, specifically at the prestigious 2024 Arnold Classic.



Big Ramy is no stranger to success in the bodybuilding world. From the moment he entered the IFBB Pro League, his promise was evident. His massive quads and overall freakish size allowed him to claim the Mr. Olympia title in 2020 through a special invitation. In 2021, he continued to prove himself by defeating strong contenders like Brandon Curry and Hadi Choopan.

However, the 2022 Olympia in Las Vegas saw Big Ramy taking fifth place, which opened the door for Hadi Choopan to seize the title. Although he participated in the 2023 Arnold Classic, he left with a fourth-place finish. Ramy opted out of the year's Olympia won by Derek Lunsford, leaving his fans eagerly awaiting his return to the stage.

Ramy's Journey to Recovery​

Last year, Big Ramy surprised everyone by entering the Arnold Classic on short notice despite his previous fifth-place finish at the Olympia. To prepare for this event and ensure his longevity in the sport, Ramy underwent a stem cell therapy procedure. This decision came after widespread criticism of his physique, particularly regarding his lats, lower back, and triceps, as pointed out by IFBB Pro League head judge Steve Weinberger.

With ample time for recovery, the bodybuilding community is eagerly anticipating Ramy's comeback and wondering how he will look when he steps back into the spotlight.

Potential Competitors at the 2024 Arnold Classic​

While the official competitor list has yet to be revealed, there are a few notable challengers that Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay could face if he decides to enter the 2024 Arnold Classic.

1. Samson Dauda: The reigning Arnold Classic champion and third-place finisher at the 2023 Olympia, Samson Dauda, will be aiming to continue his impressive run in Columbus, Ohio.

2. Andrew Jacked: Andrew Jacked, who secured third place at the 2023 Arnold Classic, has also hinted at his potential participation.

Considering Big Ramy's two-time Mr. Olympia titles, he would undoubtedly be one of the top contenders at the 2024 Arnold Classic. While he has not confirmed or denied his entry yet, fans are eagerly awaiting any updates regarding his next bodybuilding contest.
