Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, the 290-pound beast from the Middle East, has scaled bodybuilding’s mount Everest, the Mr Olympia.

Big Ramy brought his all-time best shape to the Olympia, by pounding the stage at the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando, Florida, with huge, sliced quads and back wide as a barn door.

The Egyptian goliath crushed three former Mr Olympia winners – Phil “The Gift” Heath, Brandon Curry and Dexter “The Blade” Jackson (who came ninth) – with overwhelming mass and decent condition.

This was a sensational win for Big Ramy, who missed the Olympia last year and was a disappointing sixth in 2018. (MK)
