Recently Big Ramy made some comments suggesting that he may not compete until 2021. However he has since clarified that he is still hopeful for an opportunity to qualify for the Olympia.
Fans were rather disappointed when Big Ramy said he would not likely be competing this year. He seemingly said that, given everything that has been going on in the world, he was unsure that he could find a contest to compete in. Therefore he was excited and looking forward to regrouping in 2021.
However Ramy has since taken a minute to clear the air, regarding what he meant by those comments. Taking to his Instagram, he explained that he will be training, in the hopes that an opportunity arises for him to qualify for the Mr. Olympia in December. If this happens, he will be ready to compete, otherwise he will sit out the rest of the year.
“Guys many people saw my last youtube video on @dragonpharma_llc youtube channel and im thankful for that and the nice comments..
