Ramon Rocha Queiroz, who everyone calls Ramon Dino, became the first Brazilian man to win a Mr. Olympia title when he took Classic Physique in 2025. He had finished second in the division in 2022 and 2023, and won the 2023 Arnold Classic on the way.
The numbers
Classic Physique is the one open division with a scale in it: at 5’11” (180 cm) a competitor makes his height’s weight cap or he does not compete. Dino makes it, and carries around 254 lbs (115 kg) between shows.
That off-season figure is the interesting one. Holding 250-plus pounds at a visible body fat and then stripping to a hard cap on stage is a recomposition cycle, repeated yearly, that reads nothing like natural maintenance. His FFMI on stage sits above the drug-free ceiling our methodology page cites even at the capped weight — which is the point of a cap: everyone in the class is at the same number, so the division does not reward mass, it rewards what the mass looks like.
The concession is real and worth stating: the physique’s shape — waist, lines, proportion — is not something a compound hands out, and it is the reason he beat men carrying the same allowance.
Verdict
Likely-enhanced — on the league and the arithmetic, not on anything he has said. The IFBB’s professional divisions test for nothing anabolic. Classic Physique caps the scale, not the pharmacy, and this page treats its champions the way it treats the open class: opinion, held firmly, stated as opinion.
