Now enjoying huge success with his Raw Nutrition supplement line, the canny Canadian hasn\u2019t competed since his impressive second place at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/chris-bumstead-unretires-to-compete-in-the-evls-prague-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 EVLS Prague Pro<\/a>, where he made his first and apparently last appearance in the Open division. \u201cGetting on stage there was completely different,\u201d reflects Bumstead. \u201cJust feeling in my heart that it was a lot of fun. I\u2019m extremely grateful that I did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bumstead\u2019s proximity to bigtime bodybuilding over the last several years has naturally led to its fans speculating whether or not we might one day see Cbum back on stage as a guest poser. When asked about the possibility, those hopes were dashed, however.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I seriously doubt I would ever do it,\u201d Bumstead told <em>M&amp;F.<\/em> \u201cYou never know, but I never even enjoyed guest posing in the middle of my career,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, I can\u2019t imagine it\u2019s something I want to do now.\u201d Still, those who want to see the man with the phenomenal physique in person should be heartened to know that he is still very much part of the bodybuilding scene and along with his supplement brand, is making regular personal appearances. Even more excitingly, he\u2019s also set to be involved in the 2025 Olympia event in a new capacity.<\/p>\n<h2>Chris Bumstead to be Involved in the 2025 Olympia Event<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent Instagram post, Cbum confirmed that he had been working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/job-20-years-making-dan-solomon-s-olympia-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olympia President Dan Solomon<\/a> to bring some innovative ideas to the event. \u201cEven though you are not planning to compete at this year\u2019s Olympia, there\u2019s still going to be a little bit of an Olympia prep going on,\u201d said Solomon in a conversation with Bumstead. \u201cYeah,\u201d responded the legendary Classic competitor. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that I want to do, to make the athlete experience better at the Olympia,\u201d he continued, explaining that it\u2019s not just the athlete experience that he wants to improve. \u201cI feel like we have the same vision of what we want to do,\u201d Bumstead told Solomon, apparently excited about what\u2019s to come. \u201cWe want to get the brands involved, do something big and crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the specifics remain under wraps for now, the continued collaboration between Bumstead and Olympia appears to be taking the event to a whole new level. \u201cYou just used the words big and crazy,\u201d said Solomon. \u201cWell, we love doing things big and we\u2019re also a little crazy, so I think we\u2019re gonna have a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cbum\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To follow Chris Bumstead on Instagram, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/chris-bumstead-says-he-is-unlikely-to-guest-pose-for-olympia-2025\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Bumstead is loving life in 2025, eating banana bread and training at his own pace instead of prepping for another Olympia.
