Looks like Big Ramy could be sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Building muscle is all about consistency. Day in and day out you must push your body to the limit in order to see appreciable changes to your physique. For an average Joe, training and eating on a strict regimen can be extremely taxing both mentally and physically. For professional bodybuilders the training is ten times more brutalizing. Yet despite that they suffer through it in order to bring themselves to the next level. It’s what a pro like Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay puts himself through to reach the top levels of bodybuilding.

While Guest Posing in India at the Sheru Classic, Big Ramy joined the likes of training partner Roelly Winklaar, Kai Greene, and many others at a star studded event. Apparently after performing for the crowd Big Ramy along with Roelly Winklaar were attempting back flips backstage. Suffice it to say, things didn’t end up too well for the Egyptian powerhouse.

The injury is apparently so severe that it will require surgery. Though it’s all well and good to enjoy yourself once in awhile, an athlete uses their body to make their money and damaging the goods will only do more harm than good. This injury could put Big Ramy on the shelf for some time and at this point of his career, being arguably the second best bodybuilder in the world, it could hinder his progress immensely.
