Having a full-time career in one of the most physically straining professions of bodybuilding can, in fact, lead to several layers of frustration. The monotonous life between the gym and home might actually induce depression and stress all at once. The pressure is usually high when the profession checks in with visible shreds of evidence of improvement.
The four-time Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion Chris Bumstead is at the height of his career, even though he is only in his late 20s. However, the number of expectations held upon him can be a little tough on him. And to get a break from all his professional work and expectations, he is off on a vacation.

In one of his recent Instagram stories, Bumstead shares a few off-day sneak peeks with his fans. With the ultimate tournament coming up in a few months, the bodybuilding beast requires a little rest from his extraordinarily busy schedule. Bumstead thus posted a story where his father was leading with a kayak in his left hand. Chris captioned it as, “Kayak day with pops.”
In his next story, CBum is seen recording from his kayak. It definitely seems like an enchanted journey with blue sky, white clouds, and beautifully crystal-like water the father-son duo is steering through. He writes in the story, “Needed a mental reset”.
Indeed, a star like Bumstead requires some rest to ease up the mental stress that is piling up. It is not easy to build a magnificent body to win tournaments out of scratch. However, maintaining his physique, which has already won several reputable titles, is harder than one can imagine.

In the caption of the photo, he wrote, “Suddenly tomorrow is yesterday.” It thoroughly reveals his mantra of believing and acting on time. It further attests to his inclination toward working hard all the time.
