Chris Bumstead’s amazing post and a response by Joseph Baena and Hany Rambod
In an Instagram post, Bumstead implied that his physique was so shredded that he could tear up his skin. You don’t need to look closely (though you can) to see how his muscles and veins can be seen through his skin.

Bumstead also mentions that he was addicted to doing cardio exercises. This clearly explains how he was able to burn more calories to get leaner. The bodybuilding champion also makes a statement, “Too flat to remember what a carb is…”. Evidently, Bumstead had to reduce his carbohydrate intake to build his jaw-dropping physique.
Reacting to this post, Joseph Baena commented, “One paper cut to end it all.” While paper cuts are small, they can cause pain and nerve damage and are difficult to heal. What Baena meant, was that Bumstead’s physique is so ripped that even the sharp edge of paper could result in injuries. While it is high praise, it is also a very crucial fact; Bumstead has developed such a shredded physique that his skin has become very sensitive.
