While Bumstead continued to work out, he dialed it down significantly. As a result of the nefarious illness, Bumstead lost a considerable amount of weight. Recently, the 2021 Classic Physique champ posted an update and his build looks to be gradually improving.
“3 months post Olympia weighing almost exactly the same as my stage weight just a fair amount of muscle lost.
I forgot my scale in Orlando after the O and hadn’t weighed myself until last week. Current weight is 237lbs.
I’ve kept my diet on point so I didn’t end up looking like 💩 while I was barely training and to properly reverse diet so my body was primed and ready for a good offseason.
Now starting my offseason my digestion/appetite is great (even though I can’t taste), bf% is at a great spot to start adding mass, and my body feels rested and ready to grow.
Plenty of aspects I can be better at this year and I’m excited to apply them🙏🏼
P.S. transformation contest sign ups are still live, see the link in my bio.” Chris Bumstead shared.
