BIG RAMY Leaving Chris Aceto is BAD NEWS for his OLYMPIA Hopes!

**huge285** · 01-31-2017, 01:35 PM

The rumors have been flying that BIG RAMY has left The Technician Chris Aceto to work with Bader Boodai in OXYGEN GYM. While Bader is without a doubt the best thing that's happened to professional bodybuilding since Joe Weider because of his support of the athletes and his passion for the upper echelons of the IFBB ranks, he is also one of RAMY's former trainers who had success (but not huge success) with peaking RAMY for the "big show". So, the question is, why would RAMY leave Chris Aceto, who arguably had him in the best shape of his life at last year's MR OLYMPIA and ensuing EUROPEAN TOUR? The reason I'm hearing through the grapevine is that BADER has paid him to leave CHRIS. (I will reach out to BADER to confirm or deny this rumor). If this is true, it would mark the first time a COACH is paying an ATHLETE to prepare them for a contest. Is this a wise move for BIG RAMY? From a financial perspective, it's a great move. From a "I want to win the Mr Olympia" perspective; it's probably not a great idea. Why BADER and ACETO can't work together is anyone's guess, but we know through experience, that too many hands in the cookie jar usually screws up the final outcome.

So 2017 begins the new era of "I'll pay you to get you in shape". Interesting.

I hope not. If someone wants to pay me to get me in shape I'm all in.

Do you think that Bader honestly feels that he can get Ramy in the shape needed to win and that he'd be looked at as, the one who turned Ramy around? Maybe he feels that making this happen would catapult his business even further and that's why he felt it was worth paying Ramy.

I'm not saying this ever happened to me but maybe hes getting paid to say the dude is training him while still getting advice from a better coach...I know a guy training people while a shitty coach took credit, name rhymes with Farah

Maybe Chris wasn't just quite approving enough of the Middle East and Oxygen Gym during the captive coercion video he was made do when he was in Kuwait.

**StanB** · 01-31-2017, 04:20 PM

This is just absolutely ridiculous.

Firstly, why is this a rumour? Chris should be able to confirm/deny that he stopped working with Ramy or is this thing going behind his back?

Secondly, How can you ever be at the top of your game, when you change your coach for every prep!? They only had ONE prep together, which is (according to my humble knowledge) mostly just a "trial" for the next preps.

Thirdly, Ramy did look great and was arguably the second best bodybuilder in the world this year, while he was stuck at place 5-8 the 3 years before!

Fourthly, WHY THE F*CK DOES HE CARE ABOUT MONEY? I assume he has a lot through Bader and the one single thing on his mind should be the Mr O, but if he really took that money than I'm afraid he will never be able to achieve that.

Oh and Dave, can you tell something about your source?

no one is doing for bodybuilding what Darth Bader is doing right now. Paying for people to come to train and live comfortably while they can be in a tremendous bodybuilding environment stress free. Plus he is promoting the sport and hosting a pro show with good prize money.

I know I wasn't really questioning your comments or Badar's commitment. Just a lighted hearted ribbing to improve the mood.

I'm guessing Ramy will come in fuller than than a bishops ball sack at his next show.

I'm rapidly losing faith in Ramys ability to challenge for the Olympia. We thought he had a shot at winning all the way back in 2013. Since then he's been in 4 Olympias and his best placing is 4th, despite working with DJ, George, The Camel Crew, and Chris. This new bout of drama is just further destroying my faith in Ramy in regards to vying for the Olympia crown.

**Big Beat** · 01-31-2017, 06:16 PM

Ramy is huge but he just isn't as pleasing to the eye as Heath, Dexter and Rhoden. I don't see Ramy ever having that 3D look with great aesthetics that the Olympia judges favour these days. For me, and I know it's a personal choice, Dexter generally has enough to beat Ramy and he's only 5'6" tall.
