Props for the new setup. For the big open room. You still retain intimity with good camera angle closeups. And surprisingly clean no echo audio.
How the guest feel about that big open space? Doesnt it feel weird for such an intimite conversation to sit in middle of big space.
Also the tablet kind of putting the block between you and guest. Maybe it feels different in person but from this point of view it seems little off putting.
Please dont look at this as trying to be harsh or dissing your work. Quite opposite. Im saying it from the place that I love what you do and just giving my honest opinion.
He is more, than a Bodybuilder. He is Daddy. 😄
@@AtilakusGreat comment. Legitimately what comments should be. I agree with the tablet to be honest, it does seem like a bit of a wall or block. Putting it just to the side to check notes or questions would probably make a massive difference to not have anything in between them and the guest.
Personally though, I like the big room a lot, I think it’s very inspiring and can help encourage great thought.
@@daddytachanka8076 trying to give you hope that not only degens are on the internet. They are just more visible. In reality there is overwhelmingly more good people. Its easy easy to forget but otherwise this whole society experiment would not work.
CBum is not Mr.Olypmia... lol hes the Classic Olympia Champion, Mr.Olympia is the Open Winner
Hard not to like this dude. Such a refreshing breath of air in the industry.
Similar to Kali Muscle about 3 years ago.
lol what? Dude is a roided cheater...
@@chrisbaeza7486cheater?
@@OliverJames69 he is married dont waste time on him
Lmao bullshit, surprised he didn't say he was natural, fake af
CHRIS CAN NATURALLY HAVE WON OLYMPIA IF HE GOT COACHED BY MIKE O HEARN
ahahah
😂
😂
Indeed
Baby don't heart me
Huge respect to Bumstead for being transparent about his drug use and the honesty about tren etc. Very rare today in the fitness industry with dishonest fake natties absolutely everywhere on social media.
But it’s obvious.
No one wins, if even competes, in pro-bodybuilding without PED’s.
@@CorbCorbin bro was surprised when ronnie coleman came out not natty 😂
I’ve heard IGF-LR3 is more dangerous than tren. Can’t take that stuff more than a few weeks because of how potent it is.
Ofc he uses peds for the classic competition, don't compare him to those people wtf
not rare at all, couple years ago, somes influencer of fitness started to admit taking peds, it even became a trend.
*Reads Title*
“It’s Tren.”
I can't like this as it's at the perfect like number
Nooo not my tren halo blast with no base
Been following Chris for years and have massive respect for him. Down to earth, humble and puts in a huge amount of work.
Yuuuuuuiuuge
I like how you all follow a bunch of druggies lol
After he did Calum dirty
Which Chris
I sorta love that Chris and Chris had the courage to couch this "health" discussion within the framework of the decidedly risky things that are integral to bodybuilding at this level. Because let's face it, despite looking like pictures of health, bodybuilders at this level are doing a fair number of internally unhealthy things (e.g. risky things in terms of long term health effects) to achieve an external aesthetic goal. The dedication is impressive....as are the results....but it serves no-one to pretend it's not a high risk game they play.
Well put!
Very well said. Props to Cbum as well for holistic and authentic information.
"Chris and Chris"
lol.
Yeah there risking there health
Yep
100% talking about the tren twins at 2:16
Yep
They don't use or endorse tren. They do openly talk about roiding though.
@@eustacebagge3869yh your right. I like them, but they still kinda "promote" it through their name. Im not really blaming them for anything though tbf
Great to hear Chris & Chris hash out some of these drug related issues. If you ever listen to interviews with Dorian or even Arnie (from a few years ago), they all are huge proponents for min-maxing when it comes to drugs. I don't think it was ever meant to be "let me take more and train / eat worse". Chris's approach is so refreshing to hear especially as he's so influential
Chris the studio here looks insanely good, it’s like I’m watching a movie. Awesome production!!
Is it green screen?
@@davidalexhughes No it’s just a very nice set + a lot of cameras, lighting, etc.
Chris is a legend. He's wise for someone his age
You're very easily impressed!
@@truthsayerq7264 bro he aint wrong, try to find another 28yo like him that is that mature about what he does with his body even though its his main source of income. Most people in their 20s take a shit ton of shit compared with bad habits and still dont give a fuck abouut the affect they have on their body. So i think chris is indeed pretty wise for his age
@@avdjdvwjdhevxkxb4919 if you did not notice Truthsayer is a bot
wise? He sounds like a 7th grader lol
@youdub7926 135 people agree. Except you, that's maybe an indicative why you're single and lonely
its so hard to believe how young Cbum is, such a mature and inspirational man.
Hands down one of the best interviewers out there right now. Likeable, informed, and lets people talk. Subbed
If you are interested in being a huge drug addict, then yes. If interested in something like history, philosophy or science.. probably not the best interview out there right now.😊
He interrupts all the time to talk about himself or ask long winded questions though
JOE ROGAN is better
@@liamburns8554 interviewer. can you read?
Thank you for asking the difficult questions in a positive light.
The camera angles and the lighting in this clip are phenomenal !!
Stay natural boys
Come over to the dark side.. 😈
Natural is for beta males
@@Cas_anova I cant understand why anyone would go on the gear unless they wanted to compete.
TRT good after 40
@edwardburroughs1489 there is a very good argument for TRT or cruise dose of testosterone actually having a positive impact longterm compared to not being on and being in mid or lower levels of natural test levels.
There are a bunch of studies showing TRT lowers all cause mortality, adds on about 10 years to average male lifespans.
Then you have the cruise small cycle dose that's puts you around 2000ng/dl testosterone level, longterm this can work and actually have a great impact as long as ur bloodwork is improving and you have no sides.
It's a complicated issue but there are alot of reasons to go on besides just competing
Listen up, Chris said it. There's a life after bodybuilding and it's not worth it. If you're not competing what is the point of taking tren, and those who are competing test their blood work all the time to stay on top of it.
U should be doing bloodwork once a year as an adult man even if u aren't on gear.
If u take gear then I'd do it every 3.or.4 months
I read this as: "there's a life after bodybuilding and it's not worth it" as in bodybuilding is the most important thing and everything after is not worth living 😂
Dorian said this on Rogan as well and he’s 100% correct. If you’re taking steroids to look good or place 3rd at a local show you’re an idiot because it’s not good for you.
As messed up as it sounds some ppl do it because they go with the saying that goes "im here for a good time not a long time" some of this ppl just want the temporary pleasure of being accepted into this fitness society we live in now
Yea people underestimate how toxic tren is. I tried it at 70mg a week and got terrible acid reflux a few days in and dropped it
It’s great that there’s more open discussion these days about steroid use. It’s what’s needed. People just need to make sure they’re paying attention to the right voices
Too bad that most of the people "openly discussing" are clueless naysayers and just repeating what each other is saying in the anti steroid narrative!
Agreed. And with all due respect to cbum. I wouldn't listen to an ifbb pro if I were looking how to be healthy and hava decent physique. I'd listen to their coach.
@@HumanGorillaHormonebe healthy? Nothing healthy gorging yourself like a duck, taking huge amount of steroids, cutting weight a hair before it's fatal with a combination of drugs, diuretics,etc.
Why don't you talk to someone who can show you how to gain mass with the buttloads of gear.?
@@HumanGorillaHormonelisten to the doctor versus the coach as compounding anything will no doubt press your health when that’s always not necessary a coach is not the doc and doesn’t know what that stuff does to each person as each person is different and a coach can dictate how to gradually do things. Anything illegal if you go without a year or so of one compound then adding it’s a death certificate waiting on you early in life
Cbum is such a level-headed guy, I love how he detaches himself from the persona of bodybuilding. It was Oscar Wilde who said ‘if you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.’
That doesn’t make sense
@@theprodigalson4003He said, “If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward”.

Loving these interviews! Keep em coming!
man im blown away by how good this looks
Classic Physique is the type of bodybuilding that looks the best to me. Just being massive stops looking good or cool
Agreed. Somewhere around the Dorian Yates era ('92-'97), professional bodybuilders started looking monstrous and unhealthy.
@@DoctorHemii love dorian but your right.. Him and then ronnie changed the game for the worse
Professional bodybuilding in general is not a good look - even classic physique. Too veiny and bulky. In real life and day to day - being the size of a natural bodybuilder works fine. Gets the job done. And you’re not taking years off your lifespan for no real benefit.
you think classic physique dont look huge? just see them in real life they are fking massive compared to average bodybuilder or any oerson
Classic guys are massive next to normal jacked dudes at the gym.
Great video quality and good to use the whole touch screen for viewing instead of streching the vid👌
Great interview with great and smart questions . Chris is an amazing and very well grounded athlete .
Literally, bar none, every top bodybuilder claims we'd be surprised at how low a dose of gear they actually take ! And i don't believe a single one of them....
Me neither
noone cares what you think.
Derek from MPMD has talked about this. You don't need the doses that gym bros think you do. Chris isn't lying.
@@joelacey4804your Mom does! 🖕
How can u not love this guy! He's is so genuine.
Chris, your honestly is so refreshing ! So much respect for you. And such a major fan 👍🏼
Great message from Chris!
what a guy , massive respect to him and for being so humble
Thank you Chris for your wisdom and honesty. You are a decent guy and a true champ. Talking about the Classic class, for me that is the future of BB. length-weight restrictions. And more judging towards a combination of mass and estatics. Not only mass.....
I don't think he's reading these 🤣
We are grateful for your honesty
Insane production quality
He is such a genuine guy, wow
To compete at the highest level you need to take a pretty wild amount of steroids. Bodybuilders like Bumstead keep mentioning that they are monitoring their bloodwork and that the results have been fine so far, but that paints a very limited picture of the potential damage longterm.
What bloodwork tests specifically are being monitored?
No you don't
Good honest conversation great stuff Chris’s
dope pod setting bro
this is the TECHNOLOGY Ronnie Coleman was talking about 😂😂
Huge respect Chris, you're a true ambassador
yeah, but you got be naive to believe he dont uses tren
I love how this podcast is shot!!!!!! The movement of the camera is fcking rad!
Nice factual content, like his transparency!
Love his approach to bodybuilding and his message. This is who kids need to look up to as a current day role model
he is stil on PEDs
Role model for kids??
😂😂😂
Have some more koolaid
How is a drug addict, with an eating disorder, and exercise addiction a good role model for kids?
This is the info that needs to be out there for up and comers. Just because some things work doesn't mean it's worth it, and even when it works it doesn't mean it will put you on the level of CBUM and his contemporaries. The tren twins are jacked but they'll be dead by 30-35 if they keep going like they are. Maybe that's worth it to them but the piper needs payment and he may come asking right when you least expect it, or want it.
A lot of respect for him to talk about it.
You just cant help but love and respect this guy. Hes so great 😅
Never forget when you take gear you are rolling the dice period.
You are rolling the dice with just about every desciion you make in life.
I'm rolling the dice when I play board games
Eh idk about that. People over estimate how bad steroids actually are for you. For the most you could take about any steroid in massive quantities and live longer than someone who has never touched a drug or smoked in their life. It truly is all genetics and how your body and mind handles it
@@ColzStudy Don’t risk it. It’s not like liver or lungs if your heart can’t take it your fucked, and you won’t even see it coming.
Ladies and gentlemen, the expert who has never taken anything in his life.
Chris is such a G. Both of em
Waiting for this tomorrow 🎉
Best lighting on podcasts that exists
Pretty sure I'd be dead by now if I had carried on my tren use from a decade ago. Id be lying if I said I haven't been tempted to use it again though, just because its so damn effective when compared to every other steroid. I do believe it may be a major culprit when it comes to a lot of bodybuilder deaths in recent years.
Never tried it as it sounded too dodgy, raises core body temperature or something?
What was our dosage and how much strength and mass did you gain, and is there any difference from ace and enth?
Roid monkey
@@Sanji_Vinsmoke_69 dosages varied quite a lot and I used both esters with success... strength and muscle gain was absolutely ridiculous... was maxing out a lot of the machine stacks in the gym and I'm not naturally a strong guy. No other steroid, or combination of steroids has made me that freakishly strong since. Attention from women everywhere I went and compliments from dudes daily... which is why I ended up staying on it for so long (approx 2 years) even though mentally I was a complete mess, from both the lack of sleep and the dark place the drug puts you psychologically.
@@billytheripper4 you sweat a lot on it, waking up at night bed sheets absolutely soaking was a regular thing.
Not just a top tier bodybuilder but a top tier human ! 💪🏻
He’s so humble!!!
Shoutout to whomever lit this set
Holy shit, the production quality is out of this world. This puts most Netflix shows to shame, the way you chose to conduct camera and editing work.
Having to take massive gasps of air should be enough of a sign to slow the hell down. If your lungs are struggling to fill to capacity so much so that you're making audible sounds.
I've been saying for 2-3 years at this point how harmful tiktokers have in terms of making steroids seem like no big deal...really glad chris is on the same page. People always make excuses for influencers saying it's "not a big deal" as if we're not talking about potentially life altering compounds. Not to mention, hardly any of the kids taking shit are going through the rigorous health screening that a pro bodybuilder is.
The way you asked the question at the beginning enlighten how crazy bodybuilding have become. From being a symbol of health from Eugene Sandow to Arnold, it now is obviously *surprising* (!!!) to see a very health conscious Mr Olympia... a very health conscious world champion athlete in his sport. Just think about it. The fact that most bodybuilders at that level - or any level - as much less health conscious, or even to not care at all, is absolute madness.
I think the consistency is often overlooked when it comes to groms in the gym. Even if you're taking PEDs, nothing beats years and years of constantly lifting and introducing new variations in your workouts to build muscle density.
100% agree
Tracking calories does.
Chris coughs when Tren is mentioned. Almost a Freudian slip.
The kind of people I respect. Transparency is everything.
Love this honesty
99.9999999% of men will not look like Chris bumstead no matter what they do. Most men would have to take everything under the sun, train as hard and consistently as him and have as good of a diet as him just to look like what he looked like in high school.
@@cussblackstone3304chill
Yeah I had a kid on my rowing team that looked like Chris Bumstead at 16, probably earlier I just can't remember. Did every sport under the sun. SOme people are just gifted with genetics for muscle development.
@@nateo200I think you are under estimated how big Cbum is.
I've met him twice.. Chatted once. And trained in the same area 3x.
I was 6'4 330lbs at the time and he was offseason mode... Cruising on 400mg test per week and 50mg per day Proviron and he looked pretty impressive at the beginning of the session. But as his delts and chest filled with blood... He seemingly tripled in size. That's the difference between a lot of these guys. Especially the guys who train with more volume and or more insulin/pump style training. They transform in front of you.. It's incredible
He's the reigning Mr.O champion. Besides his work ethic, his genetics also has to be top of the world. He is literally one in billions
@@HumanGorillaHormone No I know how big he is and it blows my mind. He’s 6’1” and 230-40 in season and like 270 off season. It’s rediculus lol.
Nolan produced this podcast..What a legend!
omg king Chris, so much respect for him
refreshing to hear someone that can see a bigger picture than just being large and strong.
This is beautiful footage and almost feels a little weird for a podcast with how professional it looks.
Cool to see him so honest about this.
Doubt he’s being honest when he said he took less gear and just worked harder. You don’t win the O by just working harder, you take more gear
(And duck eggs obv)
@@davidalexhughes bad take. Chris has a kidney disease, he's not going to punish himself more than he needs too.
Fair play to you Chris. I see Instagram gyms meme accounts promoting Tren all the time.
Tren took me into stage 1 ckd. Luckily it’s a acute damage so since my levels have drop to 4/5 of what they were so they’ve healed but still. This was at 350mg a week btw.
Ppl are getting bloods but not looking at heart abs kidneys(Urine)
Trenbolone?
Yea 350mg of Tren a week is alot! That's more then double what I would ever take of it. Regardless it's not needed
Chris shitting on the tren twins is amazing
No matter how much blood work you can do and see it improve there's always a way that the drugs are killing you. No matter what professional bodybuilding will never be safe
Why did the order his sister took the blame for have enough tren for two people to use for prep as well as masteron winstrol anavar and other shit I know her husband Iain competes in open bodybuilding but unless he was using over a gram of tren himself there’s no other explanation for that much tren it was definitely an order for iain and Chris especially because it came in a couple weeks out from the Olympia but she took the heat all of these guys lie out the ass just like he’s only on 500 test and 300 deca and that’s it and continues to put on size but all the other pros take 2-3 grams total and say if they put on 5 pounds of stage weight in a year that it would be a miracle even with all the shit they take
He atleast milk the money because he is the best, but the guys who are like right under top 10 and dont make such money and damaging their health, i feel sorry for them
I wouldn't feel sorry for someone who knows the risks of their behaviour but carry on doing it anyway. All these guys know the risks
Not even under the top 10 your local gym will be full of bodybuilders banging steds
You know the guys under top 10 are still IFBB pros with insane physiques and have other avenues of income right? Feel sorry for yourself and your low iq.
He is naturally soft spoken, introverted and nothing wrong with that. Every pro or influencer who discusses gear are morally righteous people. They know they have to use the poison but never abusing it for too long.
man the set and lighting here is off the scale, its like im watching blade runner, but its body building chats
Trenbolone, wait what, are you telling me Trenbolone isn't just vitamin T?
Trenbalone sandwich
This shot is wider than Chris' shoulders.
when does the full podcast get released
I admire that Bumstead is being upfront and candid in thus interview.
I know he’s juiced to the gills but bro basically said he didn’t used to diet, he’d just focus on hitting his macro goals. Yet still won the Olympia. 😂
Not to bash Chris but didn't Ian share his olympia protocol two years back which had a low dose of tren in it?
this the only body builder than so humble and polite
Dude the lighting and environment of this interview is insane haha props!
From the degenerate Love Island show to a great podcast host - good to see and keep up the good guests. We need a goggins part 2
I used to look at dudes in the gym with the most mass and think that was the ideal aesthetic. After learning about how closely cardiorespiratory fitness is correlated with longevity that same physique looks imbalanced to me. Athletic physiques with plenty of muscle but also lean enough to be well conditioned seems more fit, and huge dudes just seem silly and neglectful.
I think it's cooler to be 1/2 the size and 3/4 as strong, or thereabouts. Hidden strength is where it's at.
Spoken like someone who couldn't get there ever so decided to ridicule instead!
@@rde7202 Bodybuilding is not about strength at all so your comment is pretty irrelevant to this video!
@@bigcconservativeguy2534 Not mocking it? But bodybuilders have a ton of essentially function-less muscle, they're like a car in the garage, and they can't (as the video suggests) do it for life. It's a passing phase, and for life after 35, strength is going to be a lot cooler than muscle size. Plus strength is much harder to maintain as you age, it drops off faster than muscle size.
Though yeah I'm pretty shamelessly in favor of strength that you can use, versus size that holds you back. It's funny when the 'macho' thing is to get big for other guys to gawk at. It's cool, but it's like saying that Miss America is cooler than Crossfit.
Also: not dying young.
As for me? 6'2", 171lb. Peaking over here.
@@rde7202 Curios where you heard stregnth is harder to maintain as you age? Strongmen & powerlifters tend not to peak until late 30's even then grip stregnth doesnt peak till later than that. Cardio drops off alot faster than stregnth i've heard some studies show elderly people cardio can reset to baseline after just two weeks without training
Running out of breath every sentence is wild. He still sounds exactly like this 7 months later. Stay healthy Chris.
??? Wtf are you talking about
Cbum, one of the most amazing people to ever exist (sorry for bad englisch)
Chris has always looked buff af compared to his guests but he looks so average compared to cbum 😂
The guy just says that he put in 10 years of CONSISTENT work .... when kids these days want his results in a week
we were a same. No one told us that it takes several years to somehow look good. And we wanted to be shreeded and muscular as fast as possiblee
CBUM HAS BEEN BODYBUILDING SINCE HE WAS 14 YRS OLD..LONGER THAN 10 YEARS..HES A PRO BODYBUILDER DAH..
@@leelunk8235spend 5 minutes of your life and listen to what Chris says in the video. THAT'S THE PART I COMMENTED ON. Fn all upper case lame ass comment
The funny thing is that 99.9999% people will never look like him, even when he was natural. You have to be a genetic outlier to look like an average pro bodybuilder😂
@@Sid00077 NOT TRUE..HE HAD A MUSCULAR BODY BEFORE HE HOPPED ON GEAR..ANY MAN WITH NORMAL MAN GENETICS HAS MUSCLES IN HIS TEENS..IF YOURE UGLY AND OUT OF SHAPE WHEN YOU WERE 17..I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU..IVE ALWAYED BEEN GOOD LOOKING AND MUSCULAR..IM 48 YRS OLD NOW AND I STILL HAVE THE THUMBNAIL BICEP..IVE NEVER TAKEN STEROIDS AND I HAVE LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVELS
Atleast he's being honest as a bodybuilder. His physic was awesome
Jesus was this directed by christopher nolan; its beautiful.
Superdrol and Halo are Worse then tren. I used that the 2 last week before i got my procard in classic Physique and boy that did fuck me up for months. Tren never fucked me like supdrol and Halo 😅
Idk about physical sides but ive heard Halo rage is 10x worse than tren lol
@@fishfan2 all this
"rage" shit i have heard is dependent on the person and to be honest self control in general.
Halo is awesome for strength. best thing ive ever used. short term use only. after awhile you just feel very toxic.
superdrol i can take or leave.
Chris has to be one of the most sensible bodybuilders to ever walk the Earth.
Thank you for uploading this 21:9 video in proper 21:9. Us ultra-wide guys really appreciate it!
So basically what Chris is saying is that the trenbolone his sister was caught with (a year ago) illegally importing it internationally was all for Iain (his brother-in-law who's also competing at the Mr. Olympia)?
yes
Pretty sure Iain confessed a couple of months after Chris’s second O win, that Chris does use tren during prep.
Bullshit. He uses tren just like everyone else in the game. Maybe a little less, or whatever.
I think Chris has synthol in his shoulders and I believe there is some shadiness around him making weight for the Olympia
The camera quality is like movie level good
As soon as I read the title of this video I already knew what the answer was going to be
If you loom at most naturals that have been doing something right for 10 years have amazing physiques! It just takes a long time!
Yea but its literally nothing comparing to steroid users lol
Natural for 10 years look like someone who has never trained but is on their 6th week of a 10 week t cycle lol
You have to have very good genetics to look good natural.
@@smiercksiazka776doesn’t matter, high class naturals are the ultimate winners. Having an extreme physique is useless and even counterproductive unless monetized. If you think you need steroids recreationaly you are a weak minded beta because all you are doing is boosting your own ego for no benefit
@@anab0lic depends on what you mean by "look good" . Todays standards are inflated , but i agree
Health conscious but taking PEDs is an oxymoron
Everyone has his demons
Roids take less lives then something alot more accessible like sugars salts tobacco etc
Billions of people use these 3 things and a big portion is hooked
So by todays standards
Id say he is very healthy
He's a bodybuilding genius tbqh
