“Channel My Inner Michael Jordan”: Chris Bumstead Is Taking Inspiration From the NBA Legend’s Pre-Match Ritual Ahead of 2022 Mr. Olympia

Every athlete has a pre-game ritual that helps them get in the zone before taking center stage. For the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was to pay a visit to the ‘House of pies’ to celebrate before every contest. Likewise, Canadian bodybuilder, Chris Bumstead has one unique yet interesting pre-game ritual, which stems from one of Michael Jordan’s habits before stepping on the court. Interestingly, CBum is all set to follow his before-the-game routine in the upcoming Mr. Olympia contest.

In his latest vlog, Chris Bumstead revealed the pre-game routine that he is going to follow before appearing at Mr. Olympia’s stage. Moreover, CBum came up with his ritual after deriving inspiration from the Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
