Was Big Ramy Better Than Phil Heath At Mr Olympia 2014 – Detailed Comparision

There are lots of talk about Big Ramy Looking better than Phil Health at Mr Olympia 2014. We take a deeper look at these two great bodybuilder and try to compare them pose by pose, side by side.

First the front double biceps pose. Please refer the picture we have posted below. This is the picture most people have refered when comparing Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay with the 4 time Mr Olympia winner Philp Heath. Comparing both of them side by side in this pose even we had to agree that Big Ramy looks far better than Phil. Well here’s why:

1 Biceps : Here Big Ramy wins hands down against Phil. He has more fuller and wider biceps. He has the size and the shape and very difficult to beat for this pose. Comparitively Phil Heath’s biceps look smaller.

2 Traps : Phil Heaths traps are not even visible in this pose as he has to lean back to spread his lats. Where as Big Ramy gives a perfect pose and his traps looks proportionate. Big Ramy wins here.

3 Lats: Here again Big Ramy wins with broader and leaner lats for front double biceps pose. Phil heath’s lats looks smaller compared to Big Ramy.

4 Abs: For front double biceps pose abs plays a big part. Here Big Ramy has a big edge over Phil. His perfect 6 pack abs with clear defination are seen. Where as Phil Heaths abs are not at all visible, his stomach looks bloated. Big Ramy wins easily again.

5 Thighs : This is place where Phil Heath wins over Big Ramy, He has more defined legs. Big Ramy has bigger legs but has to improve on the muscularity and defination.

6  Calves: Calves spoils all the show for otherwise impressive Big Ramy. They just dont match up his quads and over all body. Lots of hard work has to go in this area if Big Ramy wants to move higher up. This will be a challenge for Big Ramy, as calves , unlike other body part takes time to grow. Needless to say Phil Heath Wins this with big margin.

Well this photo has been making rounds in the social media and people are asking how can we justify that Phil Heath is better that Big Ramy. Well we just tried that and it seems that yes, Big Ramy had an edge over Phil Heath in this pose. But in bodybuilding we cannot judge based on just one pose. Take a look at other pose of these two below.

In this Back Lat Spread pose comparision, we see that Phil Heath defeats Big Ramy in all area. He has more defined back supported with muscular hamstring and calves.

Another front pose – Ticeps with Side Chest: And here too we see that Phil heath has better triceps and side chest. He only lacks in his abs.

In Back double biceps pose also Phil has edge. Big Ramy does bring in great size but her has to improve overall and bring in more muscularity and defination.

Well we have to admit that Big Ramy had brought is best in this Mr Olympia.  He is still very young and has a long way to go. If he continues to improve like this, then Phil Heath or any other Mr Olympia contestants will have tough time keeping him down. Look at the progress made by Big Ramy, with help from his mentor and friend Dennis James, from 2013 to 2014.  A little more time and soon we will see Big Ramy at Mr Olympia 2015 with much better physique.
