Bodybuilding 101: What it takes to be Mr. Olympia with Chris Bumstead

[@MODELBODYINTL]

Chris is such a good dude. Notice how many times he says “I’m grateful.” He so deserves all of this greatness.

[@nielsdeckmyn9139]

Big heart he has!

[@ajtrapp4168]

Facts he's just such a liekable guy so humble for being the best classic bodybuilder in the world

[@kevinmccarthy8746]

Just like his dad . I guess the whole family is into the physical fitness business/ internet. Plus all Canadian`s are nice.

[@valentinmanea1622]

what do u mean body bulder, so what are you saying is body builder can have drems?:)))))

[@jefferywallace1391]

He is a body builder just a different category 🤦

[@jaimedivisimo6414]

He is a bodybuilder you clown

[@yna834]

Chris is gymshark's biggest asset. Real athlete

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

He's so humble, him and Big Ramy have to be the most humble Mr Olympia competitors

[@AnindyaMahajan]

Oh c'mon, we've had plenty of humble Mr. Olympias. Ronnie and Jay are the first ones which come to mind. Brandon was very humble throughout this year as well. Ramy is humble, but let's not pretend he's the first one to be.

Honestly he is a breath of fresh air to the sport, an inspiring guy and makes me want to work harder towards my goals 💪

[@steelskyblue]

Chris is a throwback not just in terms of aesthetics but personality as well. We lost this version of alpha male a long time ago -- cool, calm, humble, doesn't demand a lot of space and attention but wins it all anyway in the end effortlessly silently, well deservedly.

[@fatnesstofitnessthereandback]

I loved that Chris, Melissa and Iain were all interviewed. This pumps me up!!!!!

[@MajesticSkywhale]

chris' physique is what i've always wanted to look like since I was a kid. like, right down to the old-timey mustache and half-grin. seriously

[@1patelianos1]

I hope one day you will man!

[@MajesticSkywhale]

@Tyson Atkinson ofc but the general proportionality and also you should still always aim to be the best because you'll still end up awesome

[@FormidableOne]

Be your own person! Make the most out of your own genetics and own your own looks - face-wise.

[@MajesticSkywhale]

@@FormidableOne I can grow the same mustache and have always done the half grin anyway thats why it's such a good motivator, because I COULD look like that, minus the gifted genetic muscle insertions hehehe

[@LawrenceAugust_]

The best thing that has happened to the sport in years. Chris is pure class.

[@danegay4327]

Holy hell, what a genuine dude. Seriously hats off to him and his whole family! A truly wholesome and heartfelt take on his experience and the process. So much respect

[@joshwaterman5526]

I feel like most of the high level body builders work just as hard as each other and at the end of the day it really comes down to genes and body structure

[@SsKLKO]

May yes May not See how Ronnie train. See ramy train legs. Coach: 1more Ramy: 2 more Then Ramy: 2more Then 5more

[@Grg1231]

And mindset. Everyone’s got their own opinions training/diet.

[@mikthe2004]

Some of the genetically gifted never even achieved their possible best. But yeah, it's all down to genes and body structure. Apparently nobody worked harder than Tom Platz or Rich Gaspari, but they just didn't have arm genes, and structure to be the best!!

[@motivationalpool5787]

I don't think its really the genes at all its just how much you work to build ur body

[@matteozanca416]

You’re not crying, we r’all crying..

[@greenhat7618]

That’s why Chris is an actual athlete not a gymshark influencer

[@ROBERTS604]

He needs to walk away from that brand. Or better be earning 7 figures from them.

[@jakob6696]

@@ROBERTS604 apparently he earns less from gymshark then some of the big Instagram influencers which is an absolute joke, I would renegotiate a new contract or find a new company

[@meganbradley2369]

I hope he drops them when his contract is up, he deserves better. Gymshark is for snowflakes

[@reversule]

powerful words from Melissa "i hope he feels fulfilled at the end of everything"

[@zachary_smith1]

Chris is my fav bodybuilder. And he looks insanely perfect. How many people have a vacuum like that with as much size and symmetry? Insane.

[@dbmbrbkb]

A Great Sportsman. You can hear humility out of his words. I Wisch you all the best for the future. Greetings from Germany

[@4BlackDiamond]

Chris will hold the tittle for years to come, trust me, he was born for this and will represent the title to the fullest.

[@no_lft_shft]

Melissa taking those charges bro..... we should all be so blessed to have family like that. Also seeing that scar on the back of Ian's arm gives me hope. I also broke my arm and have plates and screws in my arm. Every pushing movement is painful if I'm pushing myself. Starting out I couldn't barely do a single push-up because of the pain. Pushing through I've been able to grow. It's good to see someone of his size and statue, it gives me hope.

[@navidrahmanarnob9151]

So much deserved victory. You'll always be in our hearts legend even when you retire

[@eamonnryan6602]

I stumbled upon Chris's youtube page a few years ago well before he competed in the mr. Olympia. Once I seen him & his work etiquette I thought to myself this guy will be mr. Olympia one day. When he came second to breon that first year i had a gut feeling he'd win it again in 2019. To see him being sponsored by gym shark i think is awesome too as i love their gym gear. Well done to Ben & all his company ye are awesome too. As for chris bumstead winning the mr. Olympia classic division for a second year is awesome, I love his demeanor such a deserving champion of the sport. His whole family & his brother in law just inspire the hell out of me. Shows theres still really great people on this planet.

[@jordanabila8537]

Way to go Chris!!! Your now a 4 time Mr. Olympia Champion!!!

cbum would need @ least 3 heart surgeries & an illegitimate child to compete @ Ahnuld's level, which he is too smart to do.

[@blairmonkman7507]

@@kalakuta.tuidemal5616 What do you mean bro there's technically 4 Mr Olympia winners every year, not including the female competitors. Your just choosing the men's open over classic. In terms of comparison if you put a 21st Century Arnold beside Chris it would be close, but 1970s Arnold was no where near as lean as Chris which means Chris would take it. That's why you can't compare Golden Era bodybuilders to nowadays. Its not even the same class anyway.
