As a professional bodybuilder, Chris Bumstead has a certain bond with the gym. Who can better tell about gym etiquette than a bodybuilder? So, a fan asked,  “Can you go to the gym shirtless? I see a lot of people doing this, but is it actually allowed?”  Bumstead had a witty answer ready in his mind and firstly replied to the question with his humour.

Bumstead said , “It is absolutely not allowed. It is literally illegal. You will go to jail and die if you take your shirt off at the gym. So do not do that.”

However, eventually, he answered the question on a serious note. He added,  “But in all seriousness, keep your ego intact. Wear a tank top if you feel good sometimes.

Chris Bumstead has been extraordinary in the last five years of the competition. The three consecutive titles are proof of his dominance. The  first  Mr. Olympia Classic Physique got organised in 2016. And from 2017, Bumstead had been consistent with his top two positions. The next big question is, will he be able to defend his title once again?

The competition will certainly get tougher, as the other competitors also bring greater challenges every year. Former title holder, Breon Ansley, will once again put forward his challenge to the title. Whereas, Terrance Ruffin is another name that has improved immensely in the last few years. One thing is sure, it will be another tough competition down the line this year.
