Well of course Chris Bumstead is retiring – he said so. He said so at the 2024 Mr Olympia and said so again at the Prague Pro where took 2nd to Martin “The Martian” Fitzwater. So what’s happened since to warrant this article?
Well it’s a combination of factors and it’s something that we really need to address as fans of bodybuilding. Chris is without a doubt the greatest classic physique competitor of all time and as a result the fans don’t want to see him go. This is why leading up to the Prague Pros so many fans were hoping that not only would he win but that new life would enter into his career. They hoped that he would then embark on an Olympia prep that would last the whole year and they would get to see their favorite star once again on the biggest stage in physique-based sports.
I mean I can never play down the fact that I witnessed lines of more than six blocks of people waiting in the cold, in New York, to meet the one and only Chris Bumstead. So you can imagine how so many fans are hoping that any talk of retirement was just that. But today I can report based on what I’ve seen on Chris’s own social media updates that the champ is actually following through with his commitment to retire and spend more time with his family. And the way we see this is because he has downsized considerably from the Prague Pro in his most recent social media update. It’s one thing if an athlete gets heavy and then has to lose it to get on stage but it’s quite another one if an athlete loses muscle.
