Mamdouh Elssbiay, aka Big Ramy, established himself with two back-to-back Mr Olympia victories in 2020 and ’21. He could have maintained his winning streak in 2022 as well, but unfortunately, the prize went to Hadi Choopan this time. Fate was again cruel when he had to withdraw from the 2023 Olympia because of several injuries that affected his physical health before the competition.

In 2024, the Egyptian bodybuilder seems determined to change feet again. He hinted at his return to the battle this year with a post where he’s flaunting his massive muscles.
