Chris Bumstead made a big entrance into the bodybuilding world when he got his pro card at the age of 21. Right from the beginning, he impressed everyone by ranking second in his first two Olympias. But he didn’t stop there. After 2019, he really found his groove and since then, no one has been able to beat him. It’s 2023, and he’s still on top, and nobody seems to have figured out how to challenge him yet.

Even the really experienced and successful ones like Chris, who has won the Classic Physique title five times, still feel the pressure. Recently his girlfriend said some appreciating words for him in a video that caught the eyes of everyone.
