In this month's cover feature, learn how Big Ramy relies on machines to achieve his montrous size!

Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay trains out of one of the best-equipped gyms in the world and uses the latest contraptions, more than dumbbells and barbells, to build his Hulk-like physique. Ramy says that these machines help him focus on contractions in ways he can't with free weights, so we've compiled his favorite mechanical exercises for building a cover-worthy chest, back, shoulders, legs, biceps, and triceps.

Plus: The training philosophy of Kevin Levrone, five mass-building workouts from supersize pros, the Paleolithic diet, ketogenic strategy, and carb-rotating plan explained, a Q&A with Flex Lewis, the best arms in bodybuilding history, groundbreaking women's training pictorials, how to get huge, and more!
