Hany Rambod is one of the best coaches that the world of bodybuilding has ever witnessed. Having 22 Olympia titles under his belt, he is currently training four-time Classic Physique champion Chris Bumstead as well. When Rambod and West got together, the first thing that Rambod could think of while introducing him was the video that went viral where James copied Bumstead at last year’s Olympia event and even got through the security. 

Starting the podcast that is uploaded on Rambod’s YouTube channel, he stated, “I remember seeing you, one of your videos about Chris went viral, cause you try to do like the “I want to look like Chris” type of a thing and I thought that was hilarious.”

A while back, Jesse was looking forward to competing in a bodybuilding competition. During the peak week of the prep, he trained his delts with one of the best bodybuilding coaches there is. While resting between sets during the workout, Jesse referred to himself as ‘JBum’ which was a playful fusion of his and Chris Bumstead’s moniker. 

Jesse delivered a spot-on impression of Chris Bumstead, who is known for his trademark pump cover removal in a famous clip that went viral a while ago. Jesse imitated Chris’ mannerisms, bringing a lighthearted touch to the demanding process of peak week. “I’m not jacked, that’s right… they call me Jbum. Right now, I’m just bum, I still gotta work to the J,” West hilariously said.
