Big Ramy reflects on past injury setbacks and his confidence on being Mr. Olympia.

IRON CINEMA – Every Monday we connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of the bodybuilding industry – ranging from athlete interviews, behind-the-scene looks at major events, and insight into the Generation Iron Fitness Network‘s original shows and films.

Around the time the original Generation Iron was released – Big Ramy became a name on everyone’s minds. Exploding onto the scene with a massive frame that calls back to Ronnie Coleman in his prime, Big Ramy has given hope to many fans that he will be the man to replace Phil Heath as Mr. Olympia champ. But his conditioning has often gotten in his way. This is normal as he is still very young. If anything – his high placement at major competitions is proof that as he ages he will dominate. I had already spoken with Chris Cormier a few weeks ago about his exclusive training with Ramy leading up to Mr. Olympia 2017… so it only feels right for me to further release an extended interview from Generation Iron 2 of Big Ramy himself. You can watch the full clip above.
