Chris Bumstead is one of the top bodybuilders in the world and Ronnie Coleman acknowledged the work that has been put in.
Ronnie Coleman’s work on the stage is the reason he is known as one of the great bodybuilders of all-time. His work off the stage in the gym has him as one of the strongest ever. Coleman knows a thing or two about insane lifts in the gym and recently reacted to some from Chris Bumstead.
This is not the first time that Coleman has commented on work from Bumstead. The eight-time Olympia champion called Bumstead’s physique the best ever in Classic Physique and might be the “best physique he has ever seen.”
Bumstead has won four-consecutive Classic Physique Olympia titles and will enter the 2023 competition as the favorite to win his fifth. Coleman currently holds the record, along with Lee Haney, for most Olympia titles ever with eight. Off the stage, Coleman has created a successful social media page because of his entertainment factor and knowledge about fitness.
Coleman has made videos on his YouTube page answering questions from fans and showing off different workouts. This time, he reacted to some of the biggest and best lifts from Bumstead.
Ronnie Coleman Impressed By Lifts From Chris Bumstead
Ronnie Coleman has reacted to lifts by many athletes, including Brian Shaw. This time, he took some time to acknowledge the strength of Chris Bumstead.
“I’ve been hearing a lot of hype about my boy CBum. I thought it’d be only fair if I did a reaction video to some of his lifts and some of his posters out there.”

The video began with Bumstead hitting some bicep curls. Coleman claims that he knows where Bumstead got his thickness rom, especially in his biceps.
“CBum curling like it ain’t nothing. Light weight, light weight. Ain’t nothing to it but to do it, baby. Light weight, he’s playing with it making it look real easy. Show them why you got all that thickness.”
Bumstead hit deadlifts in the next video. There was 600 pounds on the bar and Bumstead made it look effortless. Coleman used to hit extremely heavy deadlifts himself in the gym and believes that Bumstead could load up a lot more weight on the bar.
“Deadlifts, one of my favorite, playing with that weight. He’s making 600 look like it’s 200.
CBum, you were lifting that weight like it ain’t nothing. I think you had it in you to do eight, maybe 900. Let’s hook up with your boy and show them how it’s done.”
