In a conversation with his former coach and brother-in-law, Iain Valliere, Bumstead had revealed how much he likes Terry’s abs. Bumstead revealed how he likes to do hanging leg raises and knee raises because it might tone his abs more. He stated, “Ryan Terry told me that his best ab exercise is hanging leg raises and knee raises, So all I do is hanging leg raises and knee raises. Maybe my abs will look like Ryan Terry – that’s how it works.”
The bodybuilder had further talked about how doing exercises was fine but it often calls for a tough challenge while doing bodyweights. Iain Valliere had then pointed out, “I thought my ab strength was good… now I’m trying to do bodyweight, it’s like impossible.”
