The Canadian bodybuilder shared the training session on his YouTube channel, following his usual path of showcasing his growth regularly through his social media.

Despite this, Chris showed some concern for the former Canadian bodybuilder.

Towards the end of the video, Bumstead said that Valliere was “Meeting up with his like functional trainer and like like 30 minutes or something to pick him up,” He continued and said, “So, yeah, the fact that this guy’s getting into track and field 4 weeks post-retirement and retirement being F****ng Olympia prep is wild to me. But, interesting to see as long as he doesn’t hurt himself.”
