At the last Olympia Weekend, no other man in any of the four men’s competitive divisions was as dominant as Chis Bumstead in capturing his fourth consecutive Classic Physique Olympia title. Still just 27 years old at the time, he was chiseled to perfection at 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds. It was a notable improvement over what he’d shown in his third win a year prior, and perhaps some of that can be attributed to Chris teaming up in 2022 with Hany Rambod, who presently owns the greatest Olympia track record of any coach in the industry with an astonishing 22 wins in various divisions. You can argue about who the best Open or 212 bodybuilder today is, but when it comes to Classic, only a fool would argue that Chris is not the king, and we are honored to feature him on the cover of this month’s Muscular Development.
