Classic Physique Olympia champion Chris Bumstead loves pushing himself during training. The modern-day bodybuilding [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/bodybuilding/] icon uses a mix of high intensity and volume to reach the pinnacle of his division. In a recent off-season training video, Bumstead showed just how much dedication it takes to train like an Olympic champion. Chris Bumstead regularly uploads training vlogs, keeping fans in the loop on how he is training. Bumstead arrived at the gym to film his off-season leg day for this vlog. Bumstead warmed up and started doing hack squats, goblet squats, leg presses, and more. However, the training session started taking its toll because of the heat. CBum kept the doors open and didn’t turn on the climate control. The sunlight entering the gym nearly blinded the camera’s lens as Chris Bumstead toiled away. “I’m revoking all my complaints,” said the bodybuilder [https://youtu.be/PLNOnhRZqUA?si=9NSNQOh71phgoOmW&t=758] despite being thirsty. CBum recalled complaining about being cold while training in Canada. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Chris-Bumstead-10.jpg] Chris Bumstead said he wished it would be 90 degrees, so he won’t complain because the weather granted his wish. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even drink too much water. “The worst part about being this hot and dehydrated is I just want to chug water so bad,” said the exhausted champ. However, Chris Bumstead knew it would ruin his leg training session. “If I chug that bottle (I’ll) get so bloated and I’m going to throw up water. So I just sit here thirsty,” added CBum. However, the 29-year-old also showed his fans a champion mindset. Instead of feeling miserable, he found the situation “beautiful.” The 29-year-old won’t take it easy with less than six months left until the Olympia, no matter how hot it gets. WILL CHRIS BUMSTEAD FACE HIS TOUGHEST CHALLENGE AT THE 2024 OLYMPIA? After suffering injuries while preparing for the Olympia in 2022 and 2023, Chris Bumstead took a step back. The five-time champion took his time to re-evaluate his approach and rehab the chronic issues causing these injuries. The 29-year-old also went through the emotional rollercoaster ride of becoming a father. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Chris-Bumstead-14.jpg] Meanwhile, a new challenger established himself [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-arnold-classic-twenty-twenty-four-classic-physique-results-wesley-vissers-emerges-as-new-champion/] in the Classic Physique division. Ramon Dino and Urs Kalecinski had been CBum’s biggest rivals. However, the Dutch Oak Wesley Vissers shocked the bodybuilding community, defeating Ramon Dino to claim the 2024 Arnold Classic title. So Chris Bumstead now has three challenges to his throne. He also started training a bit late this year because he gave his body time to recover. It would seem like the upcoming Olympia will be his toughest title defense yet. However, one thing is for sure, the King of Classic Physique will continue to push himself, whether it’s hot or cold. 

Bodybuilding icon Chris Bumstead pushes through intense heat and battles dehydration to complete his leg workout.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
