Big Ramy's Strategic Break: Why the Two-Time Olympia Champion is Pausing in 2023​

The Legacy of Big Ramy​

Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay is no stranger to the spotlight. His journey from an aspiring bodybuilder to becoming a two-time Olympia champion has inspired millions around the globe. With an awe-inspiring combination of sheer size and meticulous conditioning, Big Ramy's victories at the 2020 and 2021 Olympia competitions have etched his name into the annals of bodybuilding history.

Reevaluating The Journey​

In the world of competitive bodybuilding, continuous evolution is the key. And while Big Ramy's domination was evident in his back-to-back Olympia victories, 2022 brought about a change in the tide. Falling to fifth place in the 2022 Olympia and finishing fourth at the 2023 Arnold Classic indicated a need for introspection.

Decoding the 2023 Olympia Absence​

In a revealing dialogue with RXMuscle, Big Ramy confirmed what many had started to suspect - he will be stepping away from the 2023 Olympia. The decision, while surprising to some, underscores the champion's commitment to his craft. Despite initial indications that he wouldn't be taking a break post his Arnold Classic performance, subsequent interactions painted a different picture.
A candid conversation with Bob Cicherillo unveiled the underlying reasons - the presence of nagging injuries that affected his performance in the Men’s Open bodybuilding division. As Big Ramy eloquently put it, "The better choice is right now, we need to get a break."
Siddique Farooqui of RXMuscle further delved into Big Ramy's perspective at the 2023 Dubai Pro. The gist of their conversation revolved around the champion's vision for the future. Understanding the demands of the sport and the toll it can take, Big Ramy stressed the importance of being strategic about competition timing: "I have to be smart to know the best time for me to be on stage... I’m not going to be in Olympia this year.”

The Path Ahead: Big Ramy’s Future Prospects​

While the world eagerly awaits Big Ramy's next move, it's evident that he's not resting on his laurels. His hiatus from the 2023 Olympia is not a retreat but a strategic recalibration.
Victor Martinez and Brandon Lirio from Generation Iron provided further insights into the champion’s mindset. Ramy's connection to his homeland remains strong, and the pride of being a multiple-time Olympia winner resonates deeply. In his words, "For many people in the Middle East, that’s not making them happy... Me and my team spoke about that and I think the best thing we can do right now, we’re looking forward to the other goal.”
Hints suggest a potential comeback in 2024, with Big Ramy possibly gracing other stages before making a grand return to the biggest platform in bodybuilding.

A Broader Perspective​

For the fans and followers, Big Ramy’s decision to skip the 2023 Olympia might come as a surprise, but it's a testament to the dynamic nature of professional sports. Champions, while always in pursuit of perfection, recognize when to push forward and when to step back. In Big Ramy's case, his break is a stepping stone towards bigger aspirations, reflecting his deep understanding of the game and his unwavering commitment to excellence.
