Chris Aceto would take the chance to work with two time Mr. Olympia champion, Big Ramy if it presented itself.

Big Ramy “Elssbiay” recently shared a back update that sparked conversation about his future in bodybuilding. It is unknown when he will take the stage again after announcing a break last year but Chris Aceto believes that it would not be beneficial to step on another stage outside of the Olympia.

Big Ramy has cemented himself as a legend of the stage by winning two Mr. Olympia titles and placing near the top in every bodybuilding competition he’s appeared in. Ramy built an incredible package ahead of the 2020 Olympia, where he was able to land his first title. He successfully defended his title the very next year before sliding down the scorecard in 2022. Ramy did not bring his best during the 2023 Arnold Classic, finishing fourth, and leading to a break from competition.

Ramy is clearly hard at work attempting to make improvements and doing so quickly. Chris Aceto recently spoke on the future of the former Olympia champion, Ramy and shared that he would be open to working with him if the opportunity presented itself.

“Yeah because I love Ramy. Yeah, he’s the best. Who doesn’t have a good relationship with him?”

This came after many comments about his future and how Ramy should tackle competition from here on out.

Chris Aceto Talks Big Ramy’s Competitive Future

Big Ramy shared that he would not take the stage in Columbus in 2024, which means the exact date of his return remains unknown. He is automatically qualified for the Olympia having been a former champion and Chris Aceto believes this is the only show he should be eyeing.

“It’s useless to do another show. Period.

It’s like saying Michael Jackson is making a comeback, where is he going to play? Should he play in Maine where I live or should he play at Madison Square Garden?”

Aceto had this conversation with Dave Palumbo of RXMuscle. He was asked straightforward if Ramy could win another Olympia title. The answer from Aceto was clear — “it depends on the way he looks. It depends on the way other people look.”

Big Ramy still possesses great size above other competitors. If he enters shredded at his best, there is no one who can compete with the overall size.

“Ramy is always going to look different than Derek and Hadi, which means you look bigger.

He’s going to look wider. Clearly he’s wider right. Clearly his legs are like, I mean if you’re the wider guy on stage and your legs are the biggest legs on stage, just remove detail from it and just talk about width and size, you’re in the running.”

Big Ramy is preparing to make his comeback and fans will wait and see if it will happen in 2024.
