Rumors floating around about his workout regimen bogged the star down.

Finally, in a statement to Bodybuilding & BS, Big Ramy addressed some of the rumors about his workout routine before the championship. While the star tried to understand the criticism surrounding his routine, he promised a huge comeback. Let’s dive deeper into these rumors and what Ramy had to say about them.

Big Ramy and his pre-Olympia cardio session

To draw some context into the situation, let’s take a look at how an athlete would prepare for a pre-judging routine. From ensuring that they have dried up well, balancing carbs and fats, to limiting one’s training on the day of the showdown, there’s a lot to keep in mind. One of these rules is to cut out cardio 2–3 days before the show. Here’s where a rumor surrounding Big Ramy caused some chaos.

It all started when Canadian bodybuilder Mike Van Wyck saw Ramy perform cardio on the morning of the pre-judging round. After Ramy’s loss, the Canadian mentioned it in an interview, and the bodybuilding world went berserk. Was cardio the reason behind his dissatisfactory package? The star eventually addressed these talks and the rumors.

For the sake of his mental health over physical conditioning, Ramy’s coach, Dennis James let the bodybuilder perform his cardio. Keeping the loss of the title aside, Ramy sounded undeterred while talking about his return. With the Arnold Classic fast approaching, Big Ramy is currently also undergoing stem cell therapy for his back and shoulder injuries.
