[@masterkenobi1787]

@@ufchighlights1 I don''t understand body dysmorphia. I am objectively fat. I got them stretch marks. I am pale like a ghost. I go to the gym and try my hardest to earn a better body. I have more reason than all these bodybuilder types/ shredded guys to have hang ups about my body. I don't though. I mean I wouldn't wanna go shirtless but I'm not depressed about my body. I know I am a fat fuck and I don't really care it doesn't bother me mentally. I'm like insecure but 100% confident which makes no sense. Why do people 100X more "fit" than I am have these problems. Im not even mentally tough cus i had depression and anxiety for years. I really dont understand.

[@buhlashio]

@@masterkenobi1787bro everyone is different, your comment makes no sense. If you dont feel like this it doesnt mean that nobody else feels like this

[@cashhoutsaint5717]

@@masterkenobi1787 the natural consequence of taking the gym/bodybuilding seriously is focusing on what parts of your body need more attention. when all you see on your body is places that need improvement, you feel small. there is also the comparison of oneself to others on social media. we see ourselves in good and bad lighting bc we live with ourselves. but when we look online, all we see are the highlights of fitness influencers. absolutely nothing against them, if i were an influencer i would post my best photos too. but that leads to us comparing our average lighting physique to the guy on insta whos got a pump and is under crazy lighting. hope this helps

[@yanniblumstein1]

Nah there are too many other crazy guys who set some standards. I doubt he will ever get to this point. I don't see him stand a slightly chance even in some years against freaks like Hadi or Samson. Even get to the top 10 open Olympia should be very very hard.

[@hustler3577]

@@yanniblumstein1 I don't feel it that way,he has great structure, developed/mature muscles with striations,he has great posing,great presentation & charisma,can get more conditioned than open guys, probably less weak poses overall....Now if we talk about his weakness than it's just overall density & fullness especially in back,which is achievable in 1 year becz he is CBum 🐐 afterall 🗿

@@yanniblumstein1 You forget Cbum is a genetic phreak, his body reacts so well to food, gear and traning, If he want's he can pack on tons of muscle in a year, and what he will really love is that he don't need to make a strict weight and starve himself as an Open Athelete.

[@yanniblumstein1]

​@@prestong6015steroids are more and more normal for people to talk about. Not a good sign health wise, but especially young people are getting more and more into steroids. Especially because of athletes like Chris. They want to be like him or they want to have a body like other Classic physique athletes. It's more affordable then getting huge like an open guy. But still needs a good amount of steroids to get there. I'm not a fan of this, but it is how time goes.

[@BenedictMorningwoodIV]

@@yanniblumstein1 with all due respect, you have no idea what you’re talking about. We have something called genetics which dictate how big we can get, or how the shape of our muscles look. More steroids doesn’t equal getting bigger, because if it did, everyone would just blast the kitchen sink and look like Ronnie Coleman. There’s only one Ronnie Coleman, just as there’s only one Chris Bumstead. Uninformed people are going to be in for a rude awakening when they take steroids, just to find out they look NOTHING like the pros on stage.
