However, the preparation did not come without its challenges, and it was a stressful time doing the morning of the competition.

Chris Bumstead was stressed out during Mr. Olympia

CBum uploaded a video on his YouTube channel titled “Show Day, Mr. Olympia Part 1| Prejudging.” The bodybuilding pro was very candid in the whole video, and at one point he sat down to describe what had happened the morning of the competition. According to CBum, before previous competitions, he would wake up feeling perfect, with his muscles tight and very prominent, and with good water retention. This time, however, when he woke up at 5 a.m. in his hotel room in Orlando, he realized something was off. ?I didn?t look like I should’ve,? Bumstead revealed

As soon as he woke up, Rambod was waiting outside his room and came in. Under the bad lighting of the hotel room, CBum struck his poses, but the IFBB pro coach did not have confidence in his eyes, making Bumstead ?nervous. CBum recalled what Rambod told him that day, ?You know what you?re looking flat, your body?s been burning through food like absolute crazy. I think you need more food.?

Bumstead then started going on autopilot and did the best thing he could. He said, ?Maddie had brought me a burger the night before which I didn?t eat cause I didn?t think I needed it I’ve been eating super clean up until this point.? However, his coach had a different idea. Bumstead said, ?He?s like eat that burger right now. I ate that burger, he?s like have some rice cakes with almond butter and jam. Then I started posing and I started to look a little bit better.? Later, Bumstead went on to eat three whole eggs, 200 g of sweet potato, 200 g of yellow potato, 250 g of rice, 150 g of steak and completed all this food within 6:30 AM. After that, when he started posing, his coach looked impressed, and this relief made Bumstead cry, tears of joy.
