After a trail of consecutive disappointing results, the question of Big Ramy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/big-ramy/]‘s future endeavors in bodybuilding looks intriguing. First, Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/big-ramy/]‘ Elssbiay secured fifth place in Mr. Olympia 2022 while defending his title. And now, when he decided to redeem his number one place through Arnold Classic, but it seems it will be a while before Big Ramy strikes gold again. On the other hand, Samson Dauda went up to stun the bodybuilding world with his jacked avatar and claimed Arnold Classic 2023 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-arnold-classic-2023-prize-money-breakdown/]. Whereas Ramy stood fourth after Dauda (1st), Nick Walker (2nd), and Andrew Jacked (3rd). The 2x Mr. Olympia has had a string of bad lucks with a big margin now. He slid directly from the top position to fourth and fifth. Although failures are a part of the sport, his age and his prior commitments to his family are now raising the big questions about his future. WILL BIG RAMY RETIRE SOON, OR WILL HE MAKE A COMEBACK? Big Ramy is known for his comebacks. He has done this before when a class act at the beginning of his career favored him to jump from sixth position to win two consecutive Mr. Olympia titles. However, years have passed and the changes of an aging body are an inevitable truth of life. But the then 37-year-old bodybuilder had once committed to his kids that he will retire after he turns 38 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympic-news-bodybiuilding-news-will-stop-bodybuilding-at-38-will-big-ramy-keep-the-commitment-he-made-to-his-kids-after-mr-olympia-2022/].

(Photo by Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) In an interview before Mr. Olympia 2022, Ramy revealed, “I’ve decided since the beginning that I will stop bodybuilding at 38 years old,” At 38, will he keep his promise to his kids and retire now? If that is true, this could be the last time we watched the amazing Egyptian bodybuilder competing on a big stage. The lists of questions are unending. Only time will tell.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1036377 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ronnie-coleman.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
