The rivalry between Chris Bumstead and Ramon Dino is regarded as one of the most intense rivalries in modern bodybuilding. The reigning 5X Classic Physique Mr. Olympia champion and the Arnold Classic (AC) Classic Physique champion have been ranked as the top two Classic Physique athletes all across the globe.

The two are a fun pair and often indulge in friendly mockery whenever there is an opportunity. However, they ensure that mutual respect is intact. Case in point, CBum’s recent jibe at Dino, as he compared the champ’s new look to a villain!

He said, “Competition is no fun without competition.” Dino also thanked Bumstead for motivating him to train harder every day. He wrote, See you soon my man because you know that S*it’s crazy lol”.
