Chris Bumstead is looking ready for the stage.

Chris Bumstead has the potential to really make a big splash in the Classic Physique division. With Breon Ansley having a firm stranglehold over the division for the past year, Chris Bumstead has been hard at work looking for an opportunity to usurp the current Classic Physique king.

When Chris Bumstead first turned pro, many envisioned that he would crush everyone in the Classic Physique division. Instead Breon Ansley proved to be more seasoned and had fine tuned his game to a point where his crowning as champion was simply undeniable. But while some may have thought the loss would have bruised Bumstead’s ego, it has instead lit a fire within him to get better than ever.

With the Olympia just weeks away, Chris Bumstead is pushing himself to the next level as he prepares his body and mind to take on his biggest rival. That means taking his training to a whole new level.
