Early Life
Ramon Rocha Queiroz, better known by his stage name Ramon Dino, was born in Acre, Brazil. He was raised in Portugal where he spent the early years of his life. After completing the school education in a private school, Ramon shifted his focus to pursue his passion for bodybuilding professionally. He dedicated his life to a singular goal of becoming an elite professional bodybuilder and the results are available for all of us to witness!
Career and Competition
Classic Physique rewards proportion and lines over sheer size, and Dino suits it. He came up in the same wave of contenders as Urs Kalecinski, Terrence Ruffin and Breon Ansley, and spent nearly all of it chasing Chris Bumstead.
Ramon Dino’s professional bodybuilding career started at the 2018 Olympia Amateur Brazil. He won the show and earned his IFBB Pro card, then sat out 2019 and 2020 for undisclosed reasons. He returned in 2021 and his stock has only risen in the years since.
Professional bodybuilding debut and rise to contender status
Ramon made his much-awaited professional bodybuilding debut at the 2021 Europa Pro and achieved a runner-up finish in the Classic Physique division behind the winner Fabian Mayr. The top two finishers of each division at this show received a direct qualification to the 2021 Olympia. This way, the Brazilian prospect secured his Olympia debut just one professional show into his bodybuilding career. But most importantly, Ramon Dino became an instant sensation due to his aesthetic physique.
The 2021 Olympia was a special occasion for the Classic Physique division as it saw the emergence of two top contenders – Urs Kalecinski and Ramon Rocha Queiroz. Ramon surged into the top five at his Olympia debut and finished fifth. The performance gave him the confidence and experience needed to compete at the highest level. Dino returned to the stage at the 2021 Muscle Contest Brazil, capping the already successful year with a win at the show.
The year 2022 saw Ramon Dino emerge as a serious threat to divisional king Chris Bumstead. The Brazilian prospect participated at the 2022 Arnold Classic and achieved a runner-up finish behind two-time Arnold Classic Physique champion Terrence Ruffin. He defeated elite contenders like Urs Kalecinski and former Classic Physique Olympia champion Breon Ansley in the process. The 2022 Arnold Classic was the first major Pro show of the year and Ramon was able to get the momentum on his side with a strong performance.
Challenging Chris Bumstead at the 2022 Olympia
The Brazilian contender then started his march towards the biggest opportunity of his competitive career so far. He started the competition prep with furious intensity to achieve the goal of winning the Classic Physique Olympia title.
Ramon’s physique updates a few weeks out of the 2022 Olympia showed massive improvements compared to the physique he brought at the 2022 Arnold Classic. His arms and back looked to be the strongest aspects of his physique along with excellent conditioning. According to some bodybuilding experts, Ramon looked like a guy who could present Chris Bumstead a lot of challenges and be a major hurdle in his goal of becoming a four-time Classic Physique Olympia champion.
Ramon Dino dominated the Olympia stage along with Chris Bumstead and Urs Kalecinski. He achieved a runner-up finish at the show, taking a three-spot jump from the previous year’s standing. In doing so, he beat elite competition like Urs Kalecinski, Terrence Ruffin, Breon Ansley, and Mike Sommerfeld. Although the Brazilian did not take home the Sandows trophy, he did emerge as the biggest threat to Bumstead’s dominance.
The 2023 Arnold Classic, then the title itself
Ramon Rocha Queiroz continued his quest towards the ultimate goal in the new year and secured the 2023 Arnold Classic Physique win. The show took place from March 3 to 5 in Columbus, Ohio and Ramon defeated Urs Kalecinski to take home the second most prestigious professional bodybuilding title.
2024 went the other way. He lost the Arnold Classic to Dutch standout Wesley Vissers at the Arnold Classic, then never got into contention at the 2024 Mr. Olympia and finished fourth, his worst Olympia placing since his debut year. Bumstead won that show and then retired.
That left the Classic Physique title vacant for the first time since 2018, and Queiroz answered it. At the 2025 Mr. Olympia he beat Mike Sommerfeld and Terrence Ruffin to win the division on his fifth Olympia appearance.

Ramon Rocha Queiroz Training Regime
Ramon Dino likes to keep his training simple but intense. The Brazilian bodybuilder likes to increase the training intensity by using heavy weights, high volume, and shorter rest periods between exercises.
Ramon Dino makes sure to isolate each and every muscle in the body to achieve complete development of the physique. He also emphasizes using compound movements like deadlifts, bench press and Rows to improve muscle coordination as well as functional strength. Isolation movements help him add finer details and definition to the muscles.
During the off-season training, Ramon focuses on packing more muscle and focuses on weight training for the most part. Competition prep, however, is a totally different story. Ramon Rocha Queiroz utilizes cardio to get shredded without losing the muscle mass.
Ramon Dino’s training split includes dedicated sessions for arms, legs, shoulders, back and Chest. All the training sessions are a mix of isolation and compound movements done using free weights as well as machines.
Weights on the machines move along a fixed trajectory and therefore the need to control the weight is eliminated. As a result, chances of injury greatly reduce with their use. Ramon Dino is at a crucial phase of his professional bodybuilding career. He cannot afford losing time in recovering from injuries if they occur. Therefore he does a lot of exercises on machines. Typically, Ramon Rocha Queiroz’s weekly routine looks like this:
Shoulder Workout
Leg Workout
Chest and Back Workout
Arms Workout
Back Workout
