In his latest Instagram post, Bumstead shared two clips of him doing his chest and back workouts. In the caption too he wrote the same however, he induced much humor when he spelled the words wrong. He said, “Chast & Beck.” He also promoted his merch by saying, “Rocking the new @cbumfitness merch, dropping April 24.”

However, people were more stunned by Bumstead’s Static hold technique. His approach towards this exercise made the bodybuilder look extremely stationary as he slowly lifted the heavyweights. This isometric muscle contraction does not allow any movement in the body but lets the muscles contract and is extremely beneficial for muscle fiber activation which in turn helps in building better strength and endurance.
