The Canadian bodybuilder, who brought Chris Bumstead into the realm of bodybuilding, seems to be dealing with retirement just right after he left the arena in September. Apart from coach the five-time classic physique champion for years, he is also CBum’s brother-in-law, who rose to fame by competing in an open category of the competition. 

Valliere always maintained his reputation as a bigger and more muscular bodybuilder than Bumstead. However, things have turned out to be different after he started to lose his gains post-retirement. Recently, he posted a picture on his official Instagram account, below which Bumstead and his sister teamed up and made a mockery of him for his recent decision.

Posting  a photo of himself flexing his current physique, Valliere wrote what his wife thought about how he looked. “My wife thinks I’m a wh*re,”  he penned. As one scrolled down the comments, one could see that Mr Olympia CBum had also commented on the post. Reveling at the fact that he was now bigger than Valliere, Bumstead wrote, “First time in 10+ years of knowing you I am finally bigger PS pic is kinda sus.”

While Cbum competes in the classic division, Valliere competed in the open category, which is why he was always considered bigger than Cbum. So now that he is retired and continuously downsizing to get back into track and field, CBum says he is finally the bigger one out of the two. 

Earlier, after announcing his retirement, Iain Valliere seemed to be emotional and vocal about the sacrifices he made throughout his career. He opened up on the adversities or challenges he dealt with, detailing what he went through to make it all worth it.
