Recently, Youtuber Connor Sinann posted a short video talking about the bodybuilder Stephane Matala. Matala is a French bodybuilder whose Instagram bio reads that he is on his “road to Olympia.” In the short video, Sinann says that he hasn’t seen genetics as good as that of Matala in a long time. He revealed that owing to Matala’s genetics, he believes that Matala would be able to beat CBum in a few years.

Sinann further added that he could “definitely see that possibility.” Matala’s physique reminded Sinann of the veteran bodybuilder Mike Mentzer because of his arms and forearms. He then asked his viewers, if Matala was in the current Olympia lineup, what position he would have achieved?

While the viewers agreed that Matala indeed has good genetics, they stood divided on the debate of him beating CBum. Let’s have a look at what fans said.

A fair comparison or a far-fetched one?

Comparing the two bodybuilders, one fan wrote, “The only things this guy beats cbum on is arms and possibly shoulders. Cbum has a narrower waist, bigger legs, wider lats, and a thick chest.” Agreeing, another fan added, “Bro his arms are so insanely full for his frame, yet they don’t overpower his chest because that’s also massive, this guy is definitely good competition for cbum.”

However, taking note of the lights, a fan refuted, “Lightning makes a lot of diference so comparing him to cbum Is wild for me😅.” Another fan added, “CBum is literal perfection from head to toe.
