Looks like Chris Bumstead is getting cheeky.
Since making a few openly honest opinions about the Classic Physique division, Phil Heath has experienced a bit of blow back from both the fans and professional competitors alike. In the video, Phil Heath goes on to explain why he believes Classic Physique competitors will eventually find themselves making the move to Open Weight bodybuilding if they continue their career.
While the video wasn’t very very inflammatory, there appears to be a few terms that have risen the ire of some fans and Classic Physique pros alike. Phil Heath made the notion that Classic Physique competitors were like weekend warriors. For some in the community it sounded more like the seven time Olympia champion was making light of the hard work that these competitors put in.
In a show of cheeky retaliation, Chris Bumstead made a pretty interesting Instagram posts that’s making the rounds. In the post, Bumstead directly addresses the statement Phil Heath made in his opinionated video.
