Got to be the best physique I’ve ever seen, period.”

In fact, when the Classic Physique category was introduced first in 2016, Bumstead knew that it was made for him. He worked strategically on his body after winning the ticket to Mr. Olympia in 2017. CBum took inspiration from Tom Platz, The Quadfather who was known for lifting intense weights. Moreover, Bumstead followed a routine that helped him broaden his delts and upper back and made his waist look thinner. Lastly, he followed a classic diet to gain a classic bodybuilder look.
