Canadian bodybuilder Chris Bumstead is one of the most popular and successful competitors of any division. His impressive physique combined with his engaging social media presence has garnered him 18 million followers on Instagram. In a recent interview with Chris Williamson, Bumstead revealed how much attention he gets from women.
Chris Bumstead is coming off a sensational performance at the 2022 Mr. Olympia last December. The dominant champion managed to ward off rising Brazilian sensation Ramon Rocha Queiroz and German standout Urs Kalecinski to retain the title. The win marked his fourth consecutive Classic Physique Olympia title. Following the event, Bumstead made it clear he had no plans of slowing down anytime soon and would be returning for the fifth.
Earlier this year, Bumstead laid out his nutrition in the 2023 off-season and revealed the private gym he’s been working on. He plans to use this facility for his Olympia training about 18-20 weeks out from the show. While he used to eat six meals a day, he now consumes four along with a shake.
Considering how dominant Bumstead has been, he’s developed an aura of near-invincibility. However, renowned bodybuilding coach Milos Sarcev backed budding contender Stephane Matala to be a major force in the Classic Physique division. He even favored Malala’s overall muscularity but argued Bumstead had better structure.
Bumstead gave fans a look into his off-season back training for building muscle two weeks ago. Then, he detailed the only ten exercises he would use for muscle growth in prep and listed Trenbolone as the one steroid he doesn’t take due to its toxicity. Others have been critical of Trenbolone’s toxicity as well, such as powerlifting sensation Larry Wheels, who described his time on the compound as a ‘living hell.’
Chris Bumstead Reveals How Much Attention He Gets from Women
In a recent YouTube video, Chris Bumstead revealed the ratio of attention he gets from men and women.
“90-10 in favor of men, of course,” said Bumstead. “I think my Instagram statistics are like 91% men. Anyone who thinks that this life is going to get you girls, you get more men.”
“There’s a line of respect in that. Let’s say you start doing something for the attention of women and then in the end you don’t get it but you realize how much you love it so you keep doing it. You’re doing it now because you actually love to do it rather than just getting a girl. There’s a little bit more meaning in doing it for yourself.”
“At this point when I’m in prep, I mute everything, all notifications are off, I don’t look at my comments. I don’t really look at anything and I would just rather that not seep into me. Baseline I can always bring myself back to what I said, understanding these people don’t know me but I’m obviously still affected by certain things that hit me. But again, if something affects me it’s because of something I have unhealed inside of myself. It comes back to where I’m still hurting, and not much what other people think.”
Chris Bumstead showed off his massive biceps in a grueling arm training session for hypertrophy days ago. He followed up by laying out some of the recovery practices he utilizes for optimal performance. He also offered the different morning routines he follows throughout the year.
Bumstead stands as the winningest Classic Physique athlete in the history of Mr. Olympia contests and will target his fifth win at the 2023 Mr. Olympia later this year.
