When it comes to peak physical condition, few can rival the physique of bodybuilder Chris Bumstead. A beacon of bodybuilding and fitness, Bumstead is known for his grueling workouts, meticulously planned nutrition, and, of course, his well-documented exploits in the bodybuilding realm. Yet, despite his chiseled exterior, there’s one thing that sends shivers down his spine: spicy food.

In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, Bumstead let his fans in on a surprising aspect of his life. The video starts with Bumstead humorously discovering he’d put his pre-workout powder in the wrong bottle. While discussing his plans to train at Eugene’s headquarters and have a “grand old time,” Bumstead reveals that his friend Kevin took the Packy hot chip challenge, featuring a ghost reaper pepper burger. Bumstead’s reacted saying, “I’m a huge pu*sy, and I don’t like spicy.”

Bumstead, who works out hard and watches what he eats closely, it’s surprising that he can’t handle spicy food. Even as he takes part in a session of intensive training, amping up with some pink rose pre-workout powder. Bumstead avoids the spice like a plague.

While many would assume that spicy foods would fit naturally into a diet designed for someone continually seeking to push the envelope. Bumstead proves that even the most daring among us has their limitations. As any nutritionist would confirm, capsaicin?the chemical compound that gives peppers their kick?has its share of health benefits.
