Chris Bumstead has more than 13 million fans on Instagram and loves to share glimpses of his physique with fans. One of Bumstead’s many fans is also Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Joseph Baena who made a surprising comment on Bumstead’s post. The comment reflects the hard work required to build such a classic physique. 

Joseph Baena responded to a December 2022 post by Chris Bumstead after Olympia 2022. This post also mentioned the steps Bumstead had to take to build his amazing body. The startling comment by Baena points to the mishaps that can occur in the difficult sport of bodybuilding. Along with this comment, Hany Rambod also shared an unexpected insight on Bumstead’s physique.

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.
