Chris Bumstead looks to be taking his performance to the next level even after winning five straight titles.
The Olympia is back in Vegas, and Chris Bumstead is preparing to defend his Classic Physique Olympia title once again in 2024. He has won the last five titles and will be the favorite once again come October. Bumstead has been active on social media, showing off his workouts and physique updates, though we don’t know exactly which is current and which is not. In a recent post, Bumstead impressed fans with his latest post.
Bumstead first won the 2019 Olympia title in Classic Physique and has not relinquished it since. He will be going for six in a row come October and will be the favorite once again. During the 2022 competition, Bumstead was challenged by Ramon Rocha Queiroz but still seemed to be in a league of his own — and he did it with a bicep injury.
Bumstead has dealt with many challenges over the years, yet still persevered and taken home gold. This includes a battle with COVID-19 and a torn bicep on stage during the 2022 Olympia. He has been able to overcome different battles and remain at the top of the sport. As of now, there are no plans to retire but Bumstead seems to have a plan in his mind.
Whatever that plan may be, it is not coming this year and Bumstead clearly has his sights set on another Olympia title.

“6x”
“And stillllll”
Chris Bumstead has turned into arguably the biggest fitness figure in the world today, with the largest fan base in all of bodybuilding. His brand continues to build, both on and off the stage. He runs an extremely successful social media page where fans can comment on one of their favorite athletes.
The Classic Physique division has improved in talent and is top heavy at the moment. Ramon Rocha Queiroz pushed Bumstead to the limits during the past few Olympias, and is coming off an Arnold Classic title. Urs Kalecinski has inserted himself into the top three in the division over the last year. Even with all of this happening, Bumstead remains the name to beat and the favorite on the biggest stage.
Fans are impressed and looking forward to watching Chris Bumstead compete come the Olympia this year. There is still nine weeks for the champ to improve further but by the looks of his updates, he is on top of his game already.
Do you think that Bumstead will be taking home a 6th title? Let us know. For more news and updates, follow Generation Iron on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
