Terry has been a consistent competitor in Men’s Physique over the course of his career. He made waves by finishing as the runner-up in the 2016 Olympia. After winning the New York Pro in 2023, Terry took the Olympia stage and won his first of two straight titles. Now, he is preparing to defend his title once again at the end of the year.
As for Bumstead, he might be retired but he continues to train at a high level. After winning his sixth Classic Physique Olympia title in October 2024, Bumstead announced that he would be retiring. He took the stage one final time during the EVLS Prague Pro in Men’s Open and finished as the runner-up. Bumstead has not competed since.
Chris Bumstead & Ryan Terry Chest Workout
Dumbbell Chest Press
The workout began with dumbbell chest presses. Bumstead used a lighter dumbbell and a neutral grip while Terry went for a more conventional look. This workout was used with a superset of flyes.
For Chris Bumstead, this day was out of his workout plan, which has been strict since retiring from competition.
“I’ve been following to a “t” every workout, every set, progressive overload, like perfectly.”
Chest Press Machine
The chest press machine was next on the list. Bumstead admitted that this was the most volume he has had since his competitive days ended.
“More volume since my chest has had since I retired all in one day.”
Cable Crossovers
To end the day, the duo hit cable crossovers before Ryan Terry got into a posing session. In the end, Terry explained how he has trained with Bumstead before and prior conversations helped him learn how to be an Olympia champion.
“I don’t think he realized how much our conversations have meant. We’ve trained in Australia, before he even became Mr. Olympia, and we talked a lot about mental health. We had a long chat, where it was basically dealing with winning a title so big. My whole 20 years of training was to get that title. To then win it, it was to try and find that motivation to go again and to be confident and just enjoy the process.”
