But the decision to push through this year’s training was hard for the 4x Mr. Olympia. In a candid Instagram post, CBum said, “Sometimes it’s easier to stay stuck in the things making us miserable because they’re comfortably familiar, or maybe we’ve attached our identity to it.

The Canadian bodybuilding icon recently shared his huge, striated avatar at the gym and captioned it, “Consistency is no coincidence.” Fans believe CBum is about to set a new benchmark in the Classic Physique domain after witnessing the 28-year-old in shorts flexing his massive chest.
