Bumstead offered up a look at his diet before another Olympia journey.
Thanks to four consecutive Classic Physique Olympia titles (2019-2022), Chris Bumstead has established himself as one of bodybuilding’s biggest household names. With over 18 million Instagram followers and over 3.2 million on YouTube at the time of this writing, it’s also apparent he has an immense platform to share updates on his personal life, training, and nutrition. That’s exactly what the superstar did recently.
On July 28, 2023, Bumstead shared a video to his YouTube channel where he broke down a full day of eating as he continued preparing for the 2023 Olympia. It’s another intimate look at the process of an athlete at the top of his game, trying to keep his throne. The contest will take place on November 2-5, 2023, in Orlando, FL, where Bumstead will vie for his fifth consecutive Classic Physique title.
