Bodybuilding icon, Chris Bumstead is a force to be reckoned with. The 4x Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion has made a haven in the hearts of millions across the continents through his incredible musculature and ripped physique. While CBum is recognized widely for his iconic persona, recently, a group of women compared the reigning Classic Physique champion’s stature with a dad bod, and in return left the bodybuilder’s fandom utterly furious. 

In an arbitrary Q&A session, a host asked a group of three passers by to rate CBum based on his physical appearance. On this, while one woman gave him 10 points, the other one quipped and said, “Dad bod”. Following this, the Canadian bodybuilder and fitness icon, Greg Doucette, expressed his disregard for the answer and shared the whole scenario through his YouTube channel.

On 5th April, Doucette shared the whole episode of the dad bod fiasco through his YouTube channel. In the video, the fitness coach asked, “What is wrong with you? You think this is a dad bod”. Showing the picture of CBum in lateral spread pose, Doucette then expressed his dissent towards the girls and stated, “What you’re seeing is 6’1, 250+ lbs of muscles. Just make sure you go to the gym 2 hours a day, take performance-enhancing drugs and dad bod”.

Following this, CBum’s fans flocked to the comment section to express their discontent and penned…

Chris is a f**kin’ beast smh,  they’re really out of their mind ngl

If that’s a dad bod…I need to work out harder

Once they see him in person, they won’t be calling it a dad bod

Remarks like, “Wait, did they say Chris Bumstead has a dad bod?  Well, if that’s the case, I guess I have a new goal from now on”, “Dad bod is now anything without a  constantly visible 6 pack I guess”, and “Chris is natural what in the heck are you talking about!” brimmed the comment section to the hilt. Some fans even appreciated Doucette for calling out the women for their comments. One stated, “great job Greg”. Another wrote, “Reasonable Greg”.

While one mentioned, “if that’s a dad bod then I’ve failed in life”, another fan penned, “They have no idea what they’re talking about”. Clearly, fans were left enraged by the remark about the 4x Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion. Though the Q&A host showed an off-season picture of CBum, do you think it was apt to call the 28-year-old’s persona a dad bod? Share your perspective in the comment section below.
