Big Ramy is undoubtedly one of the biggest bodybuilders the sport has ever seen. He has been wowing fans for years as one of the world’s top bodybuilders. The larger-than-life bodybuilder has won two consecutive Mr. Olympia titles and is on the list of favorites to win his third one this year. But a few months ago, he shocked his fans with a big statement. 

Earlier this year, Big Ramy appeared in an episode of the RWA Podcast where he made a surprising revelation. 

Big Ramy shocked his fans

The interviewer asked Ramy about his after-career goals and plans. The defending Mr. Olympia champion said that he always plans everything, even his career. Big Ramy made a shocking statement that he will not compete in the event once he is thirty-eight. He said, “I’ve decided since the beginning that I will stop bodybuilding at 38 years old,”  

The Egyptian bodybuilder also informed that his children keep asking him about his retirement plans. However, Ramy has made it clear that there is no chance of giving up bodybuilding anytime soon. “My kids still ask me about it, I tell them ‘thirty-eight hasn’t come yet. When it comes, we’ll talk.’”, he added.
