Chris Bumstead tops among the six bodybuilders in the Classic Physique call-outs
The time for predictions and prayers has passed when it comes to Mr. Olympia and the time is nearing for results to be announced. With six names on the pre-judging call-out list, it would be harder than before to narrow down the possible winner of 2023 Mr. Olympia in Classic Physique. The list begins with none other than the winner of the last four Classic Physique titles, Chris Bumstead. Here’s the full list:
- Chris Bumstead
- Urs Kalecinski
- Breon Ansley
- Terrence Ruffin
- Ramon Dino
- Marcus?Perry
It is not surprising to see CBum at the top of the list. In the very first call-out, he has made it as per everyone’s expectation. Despite a rocky start to training this year and talks about his retirement, most predictions regarding the division still did center around Bumstead.
Like everyone else, CBum also was pretty sure about his chances at the Mr. Olympia. Let us look at what he said about himself before pre-judging.?
CBum had exuded confidence about winning again
In his latest interview, moments before getting on the Mr. Olympia stage, CBum commented how this year was different than his previous appearance on Mr. Olympia’s stage. Unlike last year, when CBum had a last-minute bicep tear, this season he feels at the top of his game. Thus, he stated pretty boldly, dismissing everyone’s misconceptions, ?I?m not saying that to be arrogant or an as***. Truly I just know last year I won I can be better than last year.?
As the Mr. Olympia race tightens, a lot of excitement is in store for bodybuilding enthusiasts. The pre-judging seems to have already set the foundation for the same. Are you satisfied with the top six in the Classic Physique category, or do you think someone missed out despite having potential? Let us know in the comments.
