Chris Bumstead lived up to everyone’s expectations and made his coach proud again, after winning the Mr. Olympia classic physique title for the fifth time. The winning moment was certainly a historic moment for those following in the bodybuilding world.

After Chris Bumstead won, he gave a wonderful speech about how this year was more difficult than the others, but this time he concentrated on having a good time rather than stressing over it. However, as the speech ended and Bumstead went backstage, something surprising happened. The usually composed, bodybuilding champion broke down in tears.

Hany Rambod reveals Bumstead’s emotional side after Olympia win  

IFBB coach Hany Rambod recently uploaded a YouTube video of the behind-the-scenes during Olympia. He included all the three bodybuilding stars that he had coached for this year’s competition. Hadi Choopan, Derek Lunsford, and Bumstead were all included in the video and were seen talking about the event. But as the video progressed, one could see how after Bumstead went behind the curtains after his victory, he embraced his coach and started crying. 

When this happened, Rambod consoled him by hugging him tightly and saying, “What a relief bro what a fu*** relief.” He continued to speak to Bumstead as the bodybuilder was overcome with emotion. Rambod said, “This morning was fuc** but we did it.” Earlier, the star bodybuilders were doing their last-minute pumps before bronzing their muscles to look like Greek gods. Even then, Rambod also looked as tensed as his pupils, signifying his bond with them.

After Bumstead’s emotional moment, even the coach teared up a bit leading to a wholesome and joyful moment for everyone. The current Classic Physique winner was not a natural bodybuilder. Before gracing the arena, Bumstead ventured into different fields, later, dedicating his whole life to a life of muscle building.
