Chris Bumstead is Looking Insane and a Big Challenge for Breon Ansley Weeks Out from the Olympia

Chris Bumstead is looking ready for war!

With the 2018 Olympia less than three weeks away it’s becoming apparent that the Classic Physique division will be one to watch. While for the most part all the other divisions in the competition are being firmly ruled over by their respective champions, the Classic Physique division is still fairly new which means there is a chance for any of the up and comers to potentially upset champion Breon Ansley. One of those young hungry contenders is the man who came up short against Ansley at the 2017 show, Chris Bumstead.


Heading into the 2018 Olympia, it’s become pretty clear that Chris Bumstead has a great deal to prove to himself and the masses as he faces off against the man that has essentially become his chief rival in Breon Ansley. While there may not be any bad blood between the two competitors, it doesn’t change the fact that both men want to be champion and in order for that to happen one of them must be declared the winner, the other the loser.

Heading into the 2018 show, many believe that Chris Bumstead may have made the adjustments necessary to take over the division. His recent Instagram posts have only added fuel to the fire as the young bodybuilder has looked in championship form as of late.

In case you weren’t here last year, always remember… Get you a man who can do both?? @mhpstrongusa @mrolympiallc

But make no mistake, Breon Ansley isn’t content with just participating and is looking in some pretty great condition himself. The champion is training the beasts at Oxygen Gym in Kuwait, including a little known bodybuilder by the name of Big Ramy.

Chris Bumstead has his work cut out for him, but it will certainly be a tight race to first place.
