He’s a great guy, fortunately he retires on his own terms, but not really when healthy. He’s had many health problems that very likely were his main reason for retiring. He has a daughter now and nothing to prove anymore. There is no reason to continue beating up his body so hard.
@@Felale he literally has competed injured every year and just because his kidney issue didn't appear so hard after 2018/19 doesn't mean it's healed. He just does frost bath in order to prevent the swelling he got and it has been effective, but his organs suffer nonetheless
@@Sumire9287 yea injuries are common to happen at that level of bodybuildingas when training with such low body fat percentages. What i think they mean by healthy is what Chris himself said on Podcasts that he is taking less and less of the gear that he used to take and compensates by working out harder and better, which lead to him getting healthier.
Not sure about decades. Maybe 5 years. I kinda remember the guy who first won this class a couple times but for life of me can't remember his name. lol
You remember Arnold, Mentzer, Coleman, Cutler and many more. They had an impact. The same way he's had an impact. I am damn sure Cbum is going to be a household name in fitness for decades@@Flexb123
Sir, we support you regardless. You are not idolised because you were a bodybuilder, you were idolised because you give hope to all lifters & you are a man of character.
18:29 the amount of respect and love that this man has for his wife is what inspires me. CB lived through his bodybuilding journey as a true gentleman.
Dude! I love this type of nostalgic camera footage! As I’m older now, I appreciate looking back at my family videos just like this style of day and a life videos. I’m glad that you chose this style! It brought me so many joyful memories and I hope it will be appreciated by your daughter when she is all grown up looking back! Great content as always y’all!
When he said “In my mind, they’re all battling for second place” he meant that sh!t. Truly one of the greatest bodybuilder of the generation, but a greater human being. Thanks for the inspiration champ.
Don't worry he definitely won't stop uploading. In fact now that he's retired from the stage he'll have more time to focus on producing awesome fitness/influence videos. I'm expecting some cool collabs and content in the future. 💪✌️
Calvin didn’t film this like a friend, or an employee. He filmed it as a member of the family. I am super blown away by this and so proud of what you guys have done for this sport. Chris has set the standard for bodybuilding, and Calvin has set the standard for storytelling. Thank you for everything your team has done 🙏
Calvin, when the time comes and someone decides to a full feature film documentary on the life and the legacy of Chris, I hope they do the right thing and let you spearhead it freely, the inspiration that has been built and the moments all of us fans cherish were created by you and your companionship with Chris just as much as his actions, you are the bridge, and we appreciate you.
You're the Arnold of this generation, made your history with an incredible shape. Congratulations and thank you for be a great inspiration. Here in Brazil you have a lot of fans.
CBum is on another level, but the best thing about him is how grounded he is in knowing family, friends and all the moments in between, good or bad, are what matter most. Everyone should aspire to have an outlook on life like this guy!
Seeing the clips of Bradley and Courtney throughout the video warmed my heart so much. It is clear based on the editing of the video that he is ready for the next phase of his life. Congrats, Chris! Keep achieving in the next phase of life.
Chris, I'm 56 and you have inspired me to reenter the gym after 35 years. Thank you and Congratulations. Can't wait to see what you and your family do next
Let's not forget to also appreciate the quality of this video. The editing, the storytelling and the emotions captured here are out of this world. You're an absolute talent Calvin!
6 years ago, i watched you win your first. i thought it was crazy how amazing you looked and up until i saw you onstage, bodybuilding was about power. Power over oneself, power of discipline and determination, all of it. Your routine showed me that bodybuilding is art. It completely changed the way i feel about the sport, but also myself. That my angst in the gym and my need for improvement was an artistic expression and not a need to exert power over myself. I started following your social media presence and have watched almost all of your videos. You are the reason i have watched olympia for the last 6 years and it has been such an amazing thing to watch you on and off stage. I was not surprised you retired but it is definitely an upset. i'm equally happy for you as i am sad not to see you on stage again. You ARE the standard, on and off stage. champion mentality all the way and i'm excited to see your next steps. You've changed the face of the sport forever, and you will continue to inspire millions. thank you for all you do and all you have done.
"Winning isn't everything. you know it's about the journey, it's about who you become along the way, it's about the relationships in the people that you get to share that journey with as well"
Its not only the 6 titles. Its the fact that through the years you have inspired millions around the world, teaching them the most important lessons: patience, persistence, discipline, humbleness... Thanks for all Chris, you re a legend now. Enjoy your time with your familly to the fullest.
I dont even care about bodybuilding, but the way you carry yourself, your humility and gracefulness in victory is inspirational. Thanks for being uplifting. Looking forward to your success in the next phase of your life.
Hey Chris I’ve been following you for a long time now and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your legacy you’ve left on this sport and I know you will continue to make it better. You have been a driving inspiration in me beginning my influencing journey and I hope to meet you one day. Thank you.
The majority of the world will remember you as the Goat of Olympia Classic Physique but those who’ve followed you and your channel from the beginning will remember you for who you are as a man…Forever the 🐐
damn man i cried so fuckin much , god bless you and bless your little family , you are one of the best stories i have ever seen on my life , i cannot imagine my life without seeing you win again and again , love you so hard big bum
If you told me back in 2018 that this guy is gonna win 6 Classic Physique Mr Olympia i wouldn't have believed it. He didn't just beat his rival but went on to dominate his category and build his own legacy as one of the best of all time, all this while growing through adversities, staying humble, down to earth, resilient and a hard worker. It takes a lot of courage to step down when you're at the top and i hope that this will not be the last we see from him. Happy retirement Champ
Hey chris.. This is Anthony. The guy you spoke to literally right after you jumped down off the champion's seminar stage since you had to leave earlier than everyone else. I was also with my father, also named Anthony. 😅 Thank you so fucking much for doing that for me. First time at the olympia last year for me and obviously went this year too. I went because I wanted to see your last time on stage and I actually did. Thanks so much for all your insane hard work you've put in man, and thanks for stopping to meet me when you didn't need too. Truly was a dream, so surreal. I appreciate the fuck outta you. Enjoy retirement, Champ!!! 🏆
The one and ONLY GOAT ! Congrats, and most of all. Thank you for what you've done. You have enlightened our sport, with values, real ones, and you gave so much hope and strength to all of us. We can't be grateful enough. So sad I would not be able to see you on stage in real life in my life, but what a pleasure to have been a part of the BUM Area, it's your world, and thank you for sharing it with us !
Enjoy your retirement Chris, you’ve been a true hero and an amazing inspiration to millions across the world, you’ve impacted so many us in ways you and us didn’t realise, enjoy your time with your family, enjoy it all, it’s deserved. Humble throughout your journey in the game. Love from us all! Excited to see the next chapter whatever that may be. ❤
It was a great journey! I joint your Chanel in 2017 and it was a lot of fun and awesome moments! I will miss und on stage, but you did the right decision. Have 2 sons and i love every second of beeing a dad.
I still remember him becoming 2nd to breon and saying to my buddy Cbum is goin to dominate for a long time... Well he didn´t only dominate the Bodybuilding world, but he raised himself right, got a great relationship with his wife, a healthy child and big business. Bro just won in live... right in front of our eyes. Crazy enjoy your life man your are a real real reallife Hero for all of us.
I wasn't even into bodybuilding, but you, Chris, came out of nowhere and infected me with your positive energy, giving me an insane level of motivation for my training. I just hope this isn't really the end. Thank you for being who you are, Chris. You are the greatest of all time.
You have earned the respect of not only your peers, your family, and obviously us the fans, but future generations as well with your inspirations. Class act. Hats off to you Cbum, GOAT.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin’ huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Congrats man! You’ve changed so many lives more than you know. I look forward to seeing what you do next & the family & legacy you create. I love you my guy!
It’s good to see the great sportsmanship and comradery these guys have at the top level. I’m tired of seeing all the drama, and fighting from so many of the body building influencers on TH-cam.
Chris Bumstead is an exceptional athlete with incredible dedication and discipline. His consistent victories and iconic physique in bodybuilding speak to his hard work and passion. Beyond his physical accomplishments, Chris's humility, positive energy, and inspirational mindset make him a great role model in the fitness community. His focus on classic aesthetics while pushing the limits of his potential sets him apart as a true legend in the sport. Keep up the amazing work, Chris!
The last dance - you just uploaded the video on TH-cam, and it made me cry. I’ve been following you on Instagram for the past 8 to 9 years. When you post portrait videos of yourself posing with long hair and checking your progress, I often see your mother in the background doing chores at home. The very first video of yours I watched struck me deeply. Your body composition and posing perfection really impressed me. I’m a natural amateur bodybuilder, so winning is tough when competing against guys who use PEDs. I failed in my very first competition, even though I worked my heart and soul into it. Back in 2017, I won my first competition in my category, placing 1st. Winning on stage, smiling with the trophy-it’s a different and addictive feeling. From that first victory, I owe you a debt of gratitude. Your posing style inspired me so much that I adapted it-the way you turn, do quarter turns, and execute the vacuum and everything. After that win, when everyone congratulated me on my posing, I would silently thank you, as your influence was always present. From then on, you’ve been the only bodybuilder I’ve ever looked up to. There’s also another reason I feel connected to you-I think we have almost the same personality. Years have passed, and you became an idol. A lot of my friends encouraged me to start a TH-cam channel to share my knowledge, but I was very shy about it because I don’t have a very social or vibrant personality. Even in that field, you inspired me. Your TH-cam channel motivated me to start mine because you’re simply being yourself in it; the way you speak, you are just expressing who you are. I don’t know what to say or how to convey my gratitude and admiration. Maybe we’ll never meet in this lifetime, but I believe love and relationships have a power that goes beyond that. They can endure and stay alive for eternity, which is what makes them special. To me, you’re family. With love, Akash
You are the absolute definition of a fucking legend my man. Like seriously an all around fucking genuine dude. The way you speak authentically and honestly about mental health both personally and in general when you have the worlds ear has me forever a supporter of you. You are THE most authentic olympia(all divisions) the competition has and will ever see. Mother. Fucking. Legend.
Chris really makes a big difference in everyone's life. He’s shown that you can find success in both your career and personal life, but you’ve got to give it your all. He’s not just a bodybuilder; he’s taught us what it means to have a champion mindset and shares a ton of life lessons. His legacy isn’t going anywhere; the impact he’s made will stick around for a long time. We love you Chris "THE GOAT" Bumstead 🐐 ❤
its cool when you know its your last one how different that feels. its a one time feeling and you'll remember forever. congrats on the legacy you've created!!!
I will miss seeing you compete man. You are such a great soul. Love your incredible physique, love your personality even more. Thanks so much for inspiring a generation with your work, attitude and humbleness. Wish you all the best bud. Will follow your journey as usual.
Man, I’ve started watching bodybuilding because of you, and now you're retiring. It’s going to feel really weird not seeing you on stage anymore, but you definitely deserve to finally rest and enjoy what you’ve built. You've set the standard for an entire division and definitely inspired me to be a better version of myself every day. Thank you for being one of the few good role models for men out there and one heck of a champion 6X.
I saw Ronnie's era on YT, we didn't saw it live but we experienced and saw the era of Chris the champion Bumstead. So happy to be a witness of your sheer dominance. Much love for you and fam. Stay healthy champ.
Thank you. You have built a foundation of humbleness and respect through out the gym community. You inspire millions to be their best. You are an amazing person and idol to the next generation of future body builders.
What a chad! Literally accomplished more that anyone in their lifetime could. You’re an absolute inspiration! 6x champion, gym influencer, brand ceo, and a great family man. Awesome seeing your journey chris! Can’t wait to see what you do next
Chris has changed the view on the gym industry. People can’t say they are just roided up dudes who slam things. There’s something so unique about Chris in how he has opened up and talks about the journey. No other athlete in this industry comes close to his level of maturity, self introspection, and humbleness. I’ve never seen him be cocky or arrogant about himself. He puts in the work and lets it do the talking for him. What a legend.
Have to say cbum came ,saw and conquered 6 times and now u get to enjoy the life u work so hard to provide for u new family couldn't be happier for u and i know u will carry on being an inspiration to many ,many more people in the future, like u have been for me ,u rekindled something in me that I haven't had since I first watched pumping iron in 1990 ,so thank you Mr bumstead
Chris deserves more than anybody the life that he’s had. Inspiration of millions, prestigious in his craft, and above all, the father of a new life. Take it easy Mr.Bum, you’ve earned it, I pray for the best and only the best for the future of you and your family, watching you throughout my life has been the greatest journey I can witness🙏🙏

After that win, when everyone congratulated me on my posing, I would silently thank you, as your influence was always present. From then on, you’ve been the only bodybuilder I’ve ever looked up to.
There’s also another reason I feel connected to you-I think we have almost the same personality.
Years have passed, and you became an idol. A lot of my friends encouraged me to start a TH-cam channel to share my knowledge, but I was very shy about it because I don’t have a very social or vibrant personality. Even in that field, you inspired me. Your TH-cam channel motivated me to start mine because you’re simply being yourself in it; the way you speak, you are just expressing who you are.
I don’t know what to say or how to convey my gratitude and admiration. Maybe we’ll never meet in this lifetime, but I believe love and relationships have a power that goes beyond that. They can endure and stay alive for eternity, which is what makes them special. To me, you’re family.
With love,
Akash
It was awesome being involved in your journey cbum all of us as fans and to see you mature in the man you are!
This style of video is so nostalgic 🧚🏼♂️

We've got Chris' Retirement before GTA 6
You are the absolute definition of a fucking legend my man. Like seriously an all around fucking genuine dude. The way you speak authentically and honestly about mental health both personally and in general when you have the worlds ear has me forever a supporter of you. You are THE most authentic olympia(all divisions) the competition has and will ever see. Mother. Fucking. Legend.
Chris really makes a big difference in everyone's life. He’s shown that you can find success in both your career and personal life, but you’ve got to give it your all. He’s not just a bodybuilder; he’s taught us what it means to have a champion mindset and shares a ton of life lessons. His legacy isn’t going anywhere; the impact he’s made will stick around for a long time. We love you Chris "THE GOAT" Bumstead 🐐 ❤

I will miss seeing you compete man. You are such a great soul. Love your incredible physique, love your personality even more. Thanks so much for inspiring a generation with your work, attitude and humbleness. Wish you all the best bud. Will follow your journey as usual.
Man, I’ve started watching bodybuilding because of you, and now you're retiring. It’s going to feel really weird not seeing you on stage anymore, but you definitely deserve to finally rest and enjoy what you’ve built. You've set the standard for an entire division and definitely inspired me to be a better version of myself every day. Thank you for being one of the few good role models for men out there and one heck of a champion 6X.

I saw Ronnie's era on YT, we didn't saw it live but we experienced and saw the era of Chris the champion Bumstead. So happy to be a witness of your sheer dominance. Much love for you and fam. Stay healthy champ.
Thank you. You have built a foundation of humbleness and respect through out the gym community. You inspire millions to be their best. You are an amazing person and idol to the next generation of future body builders.

Thank you for all. You have done so much to push Bodybuilding and make it bigger than ever before. You are already a legend
The feeling you transmit to everyone who watched your progress it’s surreal 🖤
Getting along well with all the competitors, that´s admirable man! Congrats for that and for your titles!!
What a chad! Literally accomplished more that anyone in their lifetime could. You’re an absolute inspiration! 6x champion, gym influencer, brand ceo, and a great family man. Awesome seeing your journey chris! Can’t wait to see what you do next
Vintage feel at the beginning was classic, good job Calvin! All the best to the power couple Chris and Courtney on your new chapter.
Chris has changed the view on the gym industry. People can’t say they are just roided up dudes who slam things. There’s something so unique about Chris in how he has opened up and talks about the journey. No other athlete in this industry comes close to his level of maturity, self introspection, and humbleness. I’ve never seen him be cocky or arrogant about himself. He puts in the work and lets it do the talking for him. What a legend.
TH-cam needs a heart emoji for this one. We love you CBum. Thanks for the memories!!
Have to say cbum came ,saw and conquered 6 times and now u get to enjoy the life u work so hard to provide for u new family couldn't be happier for u and i know u will carry on being an inspiration to many ,many more people in the future, like u have been for me ,u rekindled something in me that I haven't had since I first watched pumping iron in 1990 ,so thank you Mr bumstead
It has been an honor following you along your journey! I wish you all the best in whatever you choose to pursue next! Big love for you Chris!
congratulations Chris, youre a massive inspiration to everyone. Wishing the best for you and your family in the future, big love from Australia
You're a legend Chris 💪🏻
Also a bit funny how the vid is 20:17 it's like a reminder of the journey when you started competing in the Mr. Olympia.
Love the retro look for the final comp. What’s next? Whatever it is…I have a feeling we’ll still be cheering you on.
Chris deserves more than anybody the life that he’s had. Inspiration of millions, prestigious in his craft, and above all, the father of a new life. Take it easy Mr.Bum, you’ve earned it, I pray for the best and only the best for the future of you and your family, watching you throughout my life has been the greatest journey I can witness🙏🙏
