Retired IFBB Pro Chris Bumstead’s focus has switched from muscle building to longevity. In a recent YouTube video aired on Oct. 13, 2025, he discussed the damage he sustained throughout his bodybuilding career.

“I don’t want to continue to do this now, with family, different priorities, and values shifting. There’s a lot of focus on my health now. I’m realizing you can’t really tack everything at once. I want to fix this, this, this, well… you can only take so many vitamins and do so many things a week.”

Chris Bumstead captured his sixth consecutive Classic Physique Olympia title before stepping away from the sport. In one final outing, he tested himself at the 2024 Prague Pro in the Men’s Open, where he pushed Martin Fitzwater en route to second place.
