Ramon Dino: who is he?
To get to know Ramon Dino, let’s start with the basics. The athlete was born on February 9, 1995, in the city of Rio Branco, the capital of Acre. He lived with his parents, Suzana and Hamilton, in a lower-middle class neighborhood called Xavier Maia, and was the youngest of three siblings.
As a child, he enjoyed playing soccer with his friends, but also ventured into capoeira. The athlete always had a different physique from other boys his age, always appearing to be older than he really was.
Because of his size, Ramon began to receive suggestions to start muscular training.
Acre is a state a long way from the Rio de Janeiro – S茫o Paulo circuit, which is usually more visible. But distance was no obstacle to the athlete making a name for himself throughout Brazil and the world.
The athlete’s life was far from easy, and at the age of 21 he began to dedicate himself to physical activity in order to face all the difficulties that came his way.
At the time, Ramon was unemployed and could hardly have imagined that he would soon become one of the biggest names in bodybuilding in the world. In his workouts, he needed to eat properly in order to build his muscles, and for this it was crucial to consume lots of eggs.
In times of difficulty, Ramon Dino bought his eggs on credit, but even with his financial difficulties he never stopped paying his dues on time. It didn’t take long for his exercise routine and diet to start bringing good results.
That’s how everything changed in Ramon Dino’s life.
Ramon Dino: from basic training to bodybuilding
Bodybuilding athlete Ramon Dino started training when he was just 14 years old. As he didn’t have enough money to pay the monthly fee for a gym membership, amidst other bills that had to be paid at home, he stayed there for just one month.
But as she had no intention of stopping exercising, she started doing calisthenics outdoors in her neighborhood. He often trained for hours every day, aiming for his goal.
All his effort and, of course, genetics, helped Ramon Dino gain a lot of muscle mass. Then he was noticed by his muscular training teacher Marcio Garcia, who invited him to compete as a bodybuilder.
The two began a search for a sponsor, while he received help to train. It was in 2016, when Ramon was already 21, that he took part in his first amateur championship.
Ramon won the Men’s Physique category in the Rond么nia State Championship. The following year, he won another championship, this time becoming the best Brazilian amateur bodybuilder.
Thanks to these achievements, the bodybuilder managed to qualify for the Olympia Amador Brasil, which was to take place in S茫o Paulo. Without a sponsor or a job, he did what he could to raise money to train in a gym and improve his diet.
The effort paid off, and Ramon Dino won the contest. However, life still hadn’t improved and he almost gave up. In 2020, he was invited to take part in a reality show called Mans茫o Maromba, created by fitness influencer Tiago Toguro.
Taking part in this project brought him the much-desired visibility for his career in sport, earning him sponsorship and being able to dedicate himself to the sport.
At the same time, the athlete earned the nickname “dinosaur” from Toguro, who liked to say that Acre didn’t exist and that there were only dinosaurs there. Ramon also met his wife Vit贸ria on the reality show. Today, they are married and have two children.
