Here, we will see the background of Ramon Dino, his journey in the Classic Physique division, and the recent leak that has sparked much anticipation for his performance at the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
Ramon Dino’s Rise in the Classic Physique Division
Ramon Rocha Queiroz, popularly known as Ramon Dino, has emerged as a prominent figure in the Classic Physique division over the past few years.
While the division has been dominated by Chris Bumstead for four consecutive years, Ramon Dino has consistently been a strong contender and a worthy adversary.

This performance marked his arrival as a serious contender in the world of bodybuilding. Ramon Dino further solidified his presence by clinching first place at the 2021 Muscle Contest Brazil.
The year 2022 witnessed Ramon Dino‘s continued rise in the sport. Competing at the Arnold Classic, he secured a second-place finish behind Terrence Ruffin, putting him ahead of competitors like Urs Kalecinski and the former two-time Classic Physique champion, Breon Ansley.
However, what truly made a resounding statement was Ramon Dino‘s silver finish at the 2022 Olympia, standing just behind the iconic Chris Bumstead.
