Big Ramy looked impressive a week out from the Olympia.
After taking fifth place at the 2022 Olympia, Big Ramy has released a video of his physique a week out from the show that looked truly impressive. The two-time Olympia champion showcased a stage ready physique prior to the big show but was unable to bring that form to the event.
It’s funny how things can take a drastic turn. One day you’re sitting atop the throne as a king, a champion with no equal. The next you can find yourself knocked from your perch wondering what went wrong. It can be a bitter pill to swallow indeed. It’s even more regrettable when you put your best foot forward and do everything possible to bring the best version of yourself to the competitive stage.
That’s exactly what happened to two-time Mr. Olympia Big Ramy. Ahead of the 2022 show, the reigning champion was deemed as unbeatable. No one could have guessed that Big Ramy would go from the top spot to placing fifth this past year. It’s certainly something that caught the bodybuilding world by surprise.
Perhaps what is most alarming about this turn of events is the fact that Big Ramy looked poised to repeat just a week out from the show. While all the rhetoric of the two-time champ looking unbeatable swarmed the inter web, the proof was also in the proverbial pudding. Big Ramy looked the part of a champion ahead of the 2022 Olympia and recent footage has surfaced to support that claim.
Impressive One Week Out
Recently Big Ramy revealed behind the scenes footage of his Olympia prep. The video in question is one week out from the 2022 show. In the footage we can see Big Ramy looking massive, well conditioned, and ready to hit the stage. Unfortunately for the two-time Mr. Olympia things didn’t end up going in his favor.

Where Does He Go From Here?
Despite losing his status of best bodybuilder in the world, Big Ramy still has plenty less in the tank. It’s not impossible to lose the reigning Olympia title, hunker down, come back stronger and reclaim the title. After all, Jay Cutler was able to accomplish that very feat.
It will require Big Ramy to dig down deep, assess his weaknesses and shore things up for next year’s show.
