Chris Bumstead’s Open Bodybuilding Debut at Prague Pro: What’s at Stake?
Chris Bumstead, the reigning Classic Physique Mr. Olympia, is stepping into open bodybuilding at the Prague Pro, sparking excitement throughout the bodybuilding community. With a recent weigh-in at 260 pounds, Bumstead is the heaviest competitor in the lineup, making this a significant moment in his career.
Bumstead’s physique, known for its aesthetic appeal and classic symmetry, has become legendary in the Classic Physique division. Transitioning to open bodybuilding presents a unique challenge, as he’ll face seasoned open competitors like Martin Fitzwater and Shaun Clarita. Despite his 20-pound advantage over Fitzwater, Bumstead’s taller stature might make it difficult to stand out in terms of muscle density against shorter, stockier opponents.
A win in Prague would be historic for Bumstead, as it would qualify him for the 2025 Olympia in open bodybuilding. Fans and experts alike are intrigued to see if Bumstead’s Classic Physique proportions will hold up against the larger, more massive builds of open bodybuilders. Should he succeed, it could be the most impressive feat in bodybuilding this year, paving the way for Bumstead to challenge for the Olympia open title.
