“Lowered My Water, Lowered My Sodium”: Hours Before Mr. Olympia 2022, Chris Bumstead Reveals His Unthinkable Eating Schedule

Usually, a day before any competition, the participants take much-needed rest from their training. However, the same cannot always be said for bodybuilders. Even if most of them do relax, Chris Bumstead for sure doesn’t. The reigning champion of Mr. Olympia 2022 Classic Physique category sticks to his plan up until the last minute before he goes up on the stage.

Hours before the biggest bodybuilding competition of the year is supposed to start, Bumstead let people in on his “Late night hotel workout” regime. The video was posted on Bumstead’s official YouTube channel.

Chris Bumstead gives a glimpse of his final prep

Since the time Bumstead began his preparations for Mr. Olympia 2022, he has kept his followers in the loop, giving them updates every step of the way. Sharing what he was up to hours before the competition starts, CBum shared a video, walking people through the last-minute prep work for his body. Chris revealed that his day began at ungodly hours, and he has been constantly monitoring what he is consuming and in what quantity.

Chris Bumstead said, “We woke up under 2:40 and it’s just been about keeping me there all day, so it’s lowered my water, lowered my sodium, and we’re literally tracking everything that’s going in my body from the time to the grams to the ounces to the water.” He continued, “Everything that’s going in me, and then every time I eat or drink I take off all my clothes, I step on the scale and then we see oh can you eat a little more, can you drink a little more, and just balancing that out pretty much.”

He further added that he and his team have been dicing the potatoes in different ways to see which one extracts the most amount of liquid when cooked so that he gets the maximum carbs with the least amount of water. He revealed that later in his hotel room he’ll do his final late-night biceps and forearms workout, before the event.

Kudos to Cbum and his team

The fans who have been a part of the bodybuilder’s preparation journey since the beginning couldn’t help but thank Cbum and his team for letting them be a part of it. They flooded the comments section under the video to show how much they appreciated the champion’s efforts.

One fan wrote, “Shoutout to Chris and his team for getting this out to us during what I would imagine is the most stressful week of his life every year.” Another wrote, “Your a legend Chris. All that work you have to do for your competition and you still do you tube,…..very much appreciated man. Your a beast, can’t wait to see you win man.”
