The five-time Mr. Olympia is feeling buffed up in the off-season

Bumstead has gained a lot more size in his bulk and is strictly following his diet and training regimen. In the first image, Bumstead looked menacing, and his frame seemed bigger than his on-season physique. The enormous biceps of the king of Classic Physique were the real eye-catchers.

The bodybuilder dominating the Classic Physique category also posted an image that showed him getting ready for the bench press. The five-time Sandow Trophy winner also did the triceps cable overhead extensions, showcasing his bulk. Feeling confident in the size he had gained, Bumstead captioned the images, “beffy bum.“

Then the bodybuilder did some reps on the triceps pushdown machine. The muscle definition on Bumstead’s upper body is something one’s eye can’t ignore. It seems that the bodybuilder is giving it his all to win his sixth title. The carousel didn’t just garner fan comments, but also caught the attention of other bodybuilding stars as well.

Fans are awe-struck by Bumstead’s colossal physique

The five-time Sandow Trophy winner has always been a fans favorites, and even bodybuilding stars love him. One of the biggest bodybuilder’s of all time, Craig Golias, also known for his playful nature, took to the comments and wrote, “Someone’s looking kinda huge… & kinda cute….. saaaaaaaaaaaaap.” As the bodybuilding champion only competes in one show a year, fans are always excited to see him on stage. One such excited fan said, “The king is getting back.“

The German bodybuilder and the seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lookalike Johny Münster gave a friendly warning to the Olympia champion. “Wait for BEEFY JOHN Hopefully next year haha,’ said the German bodybuilder. Even the well-known fitness influencer and Bumstead’s friend David Laid expressed his views in the comments. Laid called CBum a “Follistatin Lord” for the immense size CBum has.
