Phil Heath admits it’s hard to beat Big Ramy but there’s a way
The bodybuilding champion reveals the only way to beat Ramy is to out-condition him. “If you’re not going to out-condition this guy, forget it,” Heath said.
Moreover, Heath shared that his approach to dealing with a competitive opponent is “to always try to negate his strengths.” Also, he shared his analysis and related effort. Considering that Ramy is wider, and he had rounder muscles, he said, “so I wanted to make sure I was more 3D than him.”
That said, he emphasized the invincibility of the highly proclaimed dominant participant in the sport that if Ramy presents himself in a good shape, “it’s really f**king hard to beat.”
