Chris Bumstead: The Reigning King of Classic Physique
Chris Bumstead, the reigning and defending Classic Physique Olympia champion, is once again the man to beat in 2024. At 6’1″ and weighing over 240 pounds, Bumstead is a towering figure in a division known for its focus on aesthetics and symmetry. Bumstead has dominated the Classic Physique division for several years, with his height and mass giving him a unique advantage over many of his shorter competitors.
This year, Bumstead weighed in at 241.55 pounds, one of the heaviest athletes in the Classic Physique division. His ability to maintain a tight waist, sharp conditioning, and classic lines despite his size has made him nearly unbeatable. Many of his competitors, including Ramon Dino and Urs Kalecinski, have expressed their desire to dethrone him, but Bumstead remains confident, famously stating that the rest of the field is “battling for second.”
One of the biggest questions surrounding Bumstead this year is whether this will be his last Olympia. He has hinted at the possibility of retirement, leaving fans and competitors alike speculating about his future in the sport. Whether he decides to retire or not, Bumstead has already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest Classic Physique competitors of all time. With another potential win at the 2024 Mr. Olympia, he could go down as one of the most dominant champions in bodybuilding history.
