Illustrating a touching connection and encouragement, the reigning Classic Physique champion, Chris Bumstead, warmly praised his brother-in-law and former coach, Iain Valliere. In an Instagram story, CBum conveyed his admiration and esteem for Valliere’s recent accomplishments in the bodybuilding realm. Despite choosing separate directions for their bodybuilding careers last year, their bond persists powerfully.

“Fu*****ing right proud of you big bro,” the Canadian bodybuilder enthusiastically wrote in his Instagram story, showing genuine excitement for his brother-in-law’s recent accomplishments. As a crucial figure in Bumstead’s journey, the 32-year-old needed to focus on his own big event preparations, which consequently resulted in less time available for supporting CBum during his Classic Physique title defense.

Last night, at the Toronto Pro Show and Canadian Open Group, Valliere secured direct entry for the prestigious Mr. Olympia competition. This victory serves as a testament to the IFBB pro’s incredible dedication and talent in the sport. The former coach’s recent Instagram posts have showcased his relentless pursuit of perfection as he aimed to qualify for the 2023 Olympia. During the fierce competition, the Canadian Mass Monster overcame the Egyptian ‘Dark Horse’, Hassan Mostafa, thereby earning his qualification and reinforcing his position among the top bodybuilding contenders.

Two months ago, Valliere stated in his YouTube video that he shifted his focus towards winning the 2023 Toronto Pro event. As a result, he could concentrate more on the highly anticipated 2023 Olympia. Known for his commanding stage presence, Valliere has consistently been a strong competitor. Over time, he has acquired many titles, including the prestigious 2020 New York Pro.
