Reasons why "Big Ramy" did not win the 2014 Olympia.

[QUADMONSTER]

I for sure thought he would win his first title this year.

What caused him to lose points and eventually not win?

 

[herderdude]

I haven't followed bodybuilding as closely as I used to, but I have two reasons:

1.) His name is not Phil Heath.

2.) He did not win Mr. Olympia last year.

Haha, assuming all other things were perfect for Ramy, these reasons above would have still kept him from winning.

But other, more probable reasons would have been first:

1) His quads are out of balance, and since his upper body is already very large, he needs to lose mass in the thighs to make proportions right.

2) He probably didn't come in as sharp in the am.

3) Biggest reason, his lower body is not near as conditioned (Conditioning is another word for leanness and detail) as his upper body. It will take time to accomplish this and it's normal. U just have to put ur time in. I have a similar problem myself.

4) His English and his network is probably not as impressive. Remember, being Olympia means being the face of bodybuilding.

He wasn't conditioned enough. Simple as that. He had a torn hamstring btw. Which probably inhibited his ability to get conditioned as needed.

 

[TheIronAsylum]

he tore his hamstrings....

If Ramy won, Kia would have been even more upset. Just kidding. The whole thing seemed focused on Heath and Green. From pre-show and all the way through. My opinion anyway

I was thinking of these exact reasons!

Bumping this up. What you guys think about Ramy's condition now?
Throw in some bets, how will he place this year's Olympia?

 

[nerdslift2]

He's improved for sure, but so has everyone else. Id say top 5 but I don't know if he'll ever be balanced enough to get to top 3 with Phil kai Dennis and rhoden Dexter it's crowded up there, especially when Dexter proves you don't have be a mass monster to win

he works with Farrah, his size isn't the problem, it's the conditioning

Farrah lacks in that dept
