Can Terrence Ruffin Challenge Chris Bumstead and Breon Ansley in the Classic Physique Division?

Could divisional Dark Horse Terrence Ruffin pose a threat to Chris Bumstead and Breon Ansley?

The Classic Physique division is filled with some of the best of the best athletes in the IFBB. What they lack in overall massive size they more than make up for with their aesthetic and unmatched symmetry.


Currently the top of the Classic Physique division is dominated by both 2019 Olympia champion Chris Bumstead and former champion Breon Ansley, two the most gifted bodybuilders on the scene today. It’s clear from how hotly contested the 2019 show was that both Chris Bumstead and Breon Ansley will be battling for the top spot for years to come.

But there are others in the division that could prove to be major threats to the Olympia title in 2020 and beyond. One of those competitors is perhaps the Dark Horse of the division, Terrence Ruffin.

While he may not have competed at the 2019 Olympia, Terrence Ruffin has been hard at work in an extended off season, hoping to improve upon his already impressive physique. He showed that the hard work is paying off at the recent Niagara Falls Pro show where he took top honors.

Beyond happy with physique I brought to the stage this weekend, with the help of @mountaindog1 and @hypertrophycoach. Many people thought it was a bad decision to take a year off but now I hope I’ve showed people the importance of what time away from competing can do. Also special thanks to @steelsupplements @titan_grips & @chulastylz_ for making everything possible this weekend. Now it’s off to the Arnold!!!!

Unfortunately the Niagara Falls had a no filming policy and did not offer any video service in exchange. However, a few friends and fans caught my routine! Anyways hope you guys enjoy ??

Based on this performance, Terrence Ruffin is certainly establishing himself as one of the best of the best in the Classic Physique division and could be a major threat to the top of the division come 2020.

Do you think that Terrence Ruffin poses a threat to Chris Bumstead and Breon Ansley in the near future?
