Brazilian bodybuilding prodigy, Ramon Rocha Queiroz, a.k.a. Ramon Dino made many heads turn his way through his incredible performance on the reverent stage of Mr. Olympia 2022. More so, he inscribed his name in the weighty tome of bodybuilding history by finishing second in the competition and winning the Classic Physique division of Arnold Classic 2023. Now, he is right on the heels of the Classic Physique reigning champion, Chris Bumstead. However, recently, the Brazilian took all the social media brownie points by expressing a kind gesture for his on-stage rival, Chris Bumstead.

CBum and Dino recently made a splash in the bodybuilding arena by giving their fans a glimpse of their off-stage friendship.

Nonetheless, before parting ways, Dino gave the most heartwarming gift to CBum, and in return, received the Classic Physique champion’s heartfelt gratitude.
