5 months ago I was in a really really bad car crash and nearly lost my life. I broke my right arm and right leg. I’m just getting back into the gym now and your videos have been a massive inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your hard work. Your mentality has really inspired me to keep going even when I don’t wanna. Thank you so much for saving me. Go get this 4th title. Much love
The GOAT of youtube bodybuilding series is finally back. The CBUM Prep series which could and should be on Netflix. Chris, I’m not sure if you’ll read this but I really hope you will. When I watched your 2019 prep series in early January of 2020 I could barely stand on my feet, make myself food or take a simple shower. I also struggled with crippling anxiety and panic attacks to the point where I literally thought I was going to die every minute of the day, and in the end I also got diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. I was in the darkest place I’ve ever been. It’s been 3,5 extremely tough years. It has been absolute hell with a lot pain and darkness. But, today the anxiety and panic attacks are gone and I can take short walks. Haven’t been to the gym in 2,5 years and I miss it like no other, but I will get back to a normal life and the gym again. Working everyday to get better and recover, while being grateful for this journey and all the lessons that I’ve learned. Your prep series will always have a special place in my heart. I’m going to repeat myself. You’re a great champion, but an even greater humanbeing. The GOAT of classic physique, but still one of the most genuine, humble and good people out there. I’m forever grateful for for everything you’ve done for me these last years through your videos, as they have definetly helped med getting through some extremely dark and nasty places. Again, thankyou from the bottom of my heart. Seeing how you’ve delt and grown from your setbacks and pain has helped me more than you know, as I’ve definetly recognized a lot of what you’ve been through mentally, physically and spiritually in myself. I really hope I get the chance to thank you in person one day man. Now as I said last year, go get what’s yours champ! (Sorry for the long comment).
Thanks for this comment man, stories like this mean more to me than you know. Proud of you hearing that chmapion mentality and never giving up on yourself, youre a strong mother fkr 🙏🏼
@@ChrisBumstead thankyou legend!! Your response means more than you know and I’ll keep it with me along this long journey to recovery. Taking it day by day and having no quit, like you’ve said. The biggest and most painful challenge in my life, but I truly believe that our toughest and darkest moments can become our greatest gift if we allow it to be. Keep being you Chris!! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. Now go and win number four!!
Proud of you man! Much respect to yourself for being able to share something like this. Absolutely amazing. Keep it up, you´re also a Champ! Sorry ´bout my english tho haha greetings from Argentina!
@@ChristianVikingStrong Agree. The funny thing is there are 4 high schoolers in my gym ego lifting and in the pec deck machine they're doing their 3 rep max with horrible form to get 5 reps in and the amount of grunting makes me burst out to laughter every time 😂 the funny thing is that I do half the weight they're doing and I'm still 3x as big as them. Ego for strength I suppose.
I have never imagined that you go through all these pains and questions you need to answer yourself and to prove it. Really hats off to you for being so mentally strong. Good luck for the journey. My wishes with you !!
The fact that Chris puts himself to make videos and upload so much quality content on all social media platforms whilst keeping up with his prep shows how much he still loves the sport and the fans around him. What a legend
@@adamnegele5178 like Cbum said on the video, you still need to show your face to the public even on days you don’t feel like it, and by only having a good team behind and a good videographer is not enough to make great content.
@@adamnegele5178 100% was about to say the same thing. I imagine the majority of his income comes from social media NOT competing in mr olympia. You have to capitalize on the attention of being mr olympia and that is what he is doing.
Jesus loves you all! Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him! Believe on His name and repent of your sins and be saved! Have an amazing day ❤️
And to me, this is why you’re the best. You over time.. have lifted heavier weight. Your ability to lift heavier gives you that advantage. Although lifting heavy can damage you.. like now.. in your prime.. it’s elevating you. You’re an absolute unit because of so many factors.. but a big one being your strength. It’s what makes the other competitors look like boys. Keep going Chris. You’re almost there.
You have no idea how much you inspire with your videos. I am a 62-year-old man in a wheelchair as a result of a polio sequel since I was a baby, I live in a country where everything is adverse (Lima Peru) .......but I am a bodybuilder and I like what you transmit not only the training but also the motivation, life in general, thank you very much !!!
Cbum, you are an incredible inspiration. Thank you for allowing each and every one of us to be part of this great movement that you have. You are a big part of what keeps me going every day, such as meeting my goals and becoming like you, which is my dream. you are incredible and a great person I hope one day to meet you in person I admire you a lot Thank you very much 🙏 ❤️
he's not daddy cbum because of his looks and aesthetics, but because he is someone to look up to like a father. From simple lessons about being an excellent fiance to a good human being with aspirations, goals, and also sticking to morals. Truly the definition of inspiration with a whole army behind him no matter what win or lose he wins by making this world a better place
Always love your mental health talks Champ. It's truly refreshing to hear mental health be taken seriously and focused on. You keep making the best changes in the fitness industry champ🖤✌️
It's a tricky balance between making sure you are living in the present and looking ahead, planning on how to take care of yourself and your family. Cheers to ya Chris! 🙌🙌🙌
I'm still catching up (very slowly) on your videos, among others, as I don't watch as much RUclips these days. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done, are doing, and will do. You deserve all the good you're receiving, because you do so much to give back to your fans. If you decided to move on for your mind's sake, that'd be okay too. You have to do what is best for you and I feel that a lot, if not all, of your fan base would agree. Mad respect for you, Chris. Keep on killing it, whatever *it* is that you decide to do, and we're here for you, champ!
My breakup put me in the absolute dumps, felt like hell and even now hopelessness pervades all of my daily life. Going to the gym and seeing great inspirations like you is like a reminder for all of us to keep striving everyday, this shit like this and exercise keeps me moving forward. Going 6 days a week and no signs of stopping. You a real inspiration, get this champ!
Chris even though you wont see this I want to send some positive energy your way. you've been a big inspiration to me as a guy your same age since i started watching your videos earlier this year. I've been working incredibly hard to better myself and my situation lately and very often I'll remember some words of yours that help me push through the tough times and strive to be as much of a positive influence as I can be on my surroundings. so thank you Chris and just know that you truly are making the world a better place with your hard work!
The most humble human being ever! With the fame and hard work, still true to himself. No dramas, great guy, a beast. Changed the whole dynamic of the gym community ever🎉
Nothing but huge respect, you actually made me realize quite a few things I haven't before and it definietly improved me. You're such an idol with a hard working personality which also as you said, affects your community and I'm sure we all can feel it. Keep pushing king and thank you
Hey bum I know you probably won’t see this but if you do I want you to know I specifically watch the mental update and not the lifting. You might think people skip that part but I’m saying we don’t. Your an inspiration.
I’m 3 weeks out from my national show for the pro card. Seeing your videos knowing we’re on the same path of grinding to accomplish a goal gives me a mental boost!
The working out and stuff is awesome to watch and all, but the mental aspect is truly amazing to see and I thank you for sharing as much as you do for everyone to enjoy/listen. Also thank you Calvin for always editing these simple yet beautiful videos 💪🏼
That's for opening up man! It's awesome that your willing to talk about your thoughts and feelings to the fans. You are definitely a very humble individual with awesome journey! Really happy for you and all of those who have been there for you in the good and bad times!
You are a legend and you are my inspiration to push through my limits! Rooting for you and waiting for the moment till they announce you as the "4 times Olympia Champion". Go win Champ! You got this!
Thanks for being who you are. I just started working out this year and I've been watching your videos. They've been a big source of understanding the grind.
Pressure is most certainly a privilege but can definitely see how much it can weigh on you sometimes, man. All the best this year with the show and your mental health- we love ya either way.
This vid is incredibly well done. Props to Calvin big time. I remember watching the Olympia 3 part series and having that kinda of quality through a whole prep series is going to be insane🙏
Chris will never understand the amount of hope and passion he has give me and millions of people all around the world especially on the fitness type of side to keep carrying on, I don't ussaly say this on public platforms but as a suicide survivor Chris has definitely gave me the will to live and carry on woth my dream, you could say he was the best thing I've come across. Thank you Chris your consistency is unmatchable and your physique is un containable, stay strong man we're all here for you 🙂👌🏼
The fact that this man is trying to reply to all comments, or at least like them is very nice thing. I know that this man made many days for many people
True inspiration, true warrior and one of the best that ever came on stage to Olympia, the champion mentality we're all in love with, may god bless you MAN 🇩🇿💪🏻
Love you too Chris, appreciate your mature outlook on relationships and personal development, and I thank you for being such a good example for so many people in that aspect. Always wishing you well my guy.
The funny thing is this the second straight me and chris prepping in the same time and all of his videos makes me feel better every time It’s like another person talking about your struggles and mindset Love ya chris❤
We love you Chris. You make this whole community come together, you don't just better your life, you better ours, with the "motivation" and mainly discipline you have to keep crushing the top standard of bodybuilding. You have inspired and changed so many lives, including mine. Much love, and always rooting for ya.
Amazing young man... I am 40 years old and seems like my body has reached new level ... I'm not a competitor , just love to train and following you for just over a year now the way I train and think about fitness has changed... Thank you for being inspirational!👊
It’s crazy you already won 3 Olympias and it seems like you’re barely in your prime 👀 excited to grow up in the era of bodybuilding and you’ being that example I look up to everyday youre a blessing excited to see you leave a legacy behind bro 🙏🙏
I appreciate all workout tips you give, but I continue coming back because of your insights on life. I respect how you carry yourself. I had to do a lot of damage to myself and to people in my life to reach some of the same conclusions you have, about life and my own personal values. I also love getting a sneak peak into the mindset of a champion. I have my own personal athletic goals, that by the way have nothing to do with bodybuilding, running mostly, and seeing the dedication it takes to be the best is inspiring. You're a good dude and a wise dude. I wish you nothing but the best CBum.
I've tried to write this comment three times now, but each time I get done with it I decide to delete what I've written. I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's because I don't want to admit to myself that someday there could be a future without C-Bum dropping into my day to give me a kick in the ass. Chris, I'm really glad your headspace is aces right now, and I'm pumped to continue to watch your career. I truly hope, when the time comes for you to retire, you choose a path in life that allows us to stay tuned to where you're at and what you're doing. You've become a massive inspiration for me, and I'm not talking about the gym. I have the self-motivation to workout and stay fit. No, you've become a motivation for me to chase my dreams and focus my life on work that I have a passion for. I stepped out of the rat race and quit my job last April to chase my dream of becoming a writer and humanitarian. Watching your journey helped give me the courage I needed to change my life. Thanks, dude.
You are growing, and I'm not just talking about your body but more importantly as a person. As you said, you are becoming a model for many young people who see you and try to be like you. That is a huge responsibility if you of course want to take it. Great video again, cheers!
That's why I love and admire Cbum. The fact that he's open, humble truly inspires me. We all face our doubts, fears and bad moments and by being honest and tackling them we evolve. I just don't want Cbum to feel as if he loses the Olympia that he's letting all of us down. I may never be a bodybuilder but I've always felt inspired by you and I wish you and Iain, I mean he's also family to you, all the best in your preparation and in life. Thank you Cbum 😀.
Really enjoy the workout portion… but who in the World has done this mental diary during the most painful/lonesome competition? Thank you. Love two points I will always take 1- I may be tired during the day, but my muscles are still there. It is all mental. 2- I know how to beat last year’s champ. Just beautiful cheat sheet for us to copy in our lives. Again… thank you for a journey into the active mind of a champ. We see Jordan’s mind decades after.. but to see yours today.. priceless. Thank you for making time for us. Sincerely.
There are a lot of things in life, not regarding working out, that I've learned from you. I think that by watching these videos I've not only become better at the gym, but a better person overall. Thank you Chris, truly! ❤💪
Chris you taking the time to share your journey towards another title has been nothing short of inspirational. Knowing what you go through and what drives you still is amazing!! True champion mentality!! 🏆 🙏🏻 I feel like and I'm on this journey with you as I'm sure many others do as well, watching your videos and posts going through the ups and downs to reaching that ultimate goal in the next 5 weeks!! Thank you again for being you and caring about us! 4X title here we go!!!
The brains and heart behind the physique are what makes this channel far superior to others. Time for Four and at least one more so you have a full year with Hany 🙏 GET IT!
Chris you're a huge inspiration to me and to a lot of people! Your mentality and everything gives me the motivation to do more and better myself. You have the best physique in this era and i know so many people that say they want to be like you! I appreciate everything you do bro and i wish you all the best! 4x Mr Olympia incoming!! 💪🏽💯👊🏽
I was never into the bodybuilding stuff but slowly I’m becoming more interested. I mainly like watching your videos because you are simply REAL and genuine. Your videos are motivating for many life aspects, not just for health/gym motivation. I take motivation from you on continuing my academic journey, so thanks for that! Can’t wait to see you win your 4th Mr. Olympia Title CBUM!
Hey Chris, all I wanna say is I know you win again And I hope that after you win, we get to see you step on stage again you’ve inspired a lot of people and change many lives and no matter what happens you’ll always be Mr. Olympia number one in our eyes. Keep it up💪🏻🤍
the main factor is your health, both mental and physical. you’ve proven enough for all of us fans, but we all know that you can only blast gear for so long before, we’ll, you know… compete or not, your fan base will always be here. but we (our opinions/support) don’t matter. you are the one that matters bc you are putting your health and life on the line to compete. be safe and make the best decision for you. we’ll still be here
Surely I know you can beat Chris from a year ago at this moment that you are living bc you are motivated, you have passion and bc you know a lot of people like me look up to you. Hope you the best on this prep season and I wish you the best to not only winning Olympia, also to get better everyday. And always remember, as you said, not quiting is the real challenge and what makes greatness.
Do writing down a legacy in the history of bodybuilding and keep battling yourself from last year in the mirror so nobody will ever get close to the legacy you wrote down yourself in the history of bodybuilding. Even when you get to that point you talked about where all you are feel like you are chasing is just another Olympia, don't think you are just chasing another Olympia paper card, think that you are being the legacy itself in the history of bodybuilding that will be remembered even after a hundred years that nobody will ever be able to be, like war heroes, be the one that people from a hundred years later will say remembering you footsteps in the history "So this is Christoper Adam Bumstead.." even after our time had passed. Never fail at battling and defeating yourself 8 times for an infinity mark. Love you Cbum.
This is truly amazing, the amount of motivation and mental strength(and physical strength) is just incredible, keep up the amazing work Cbum you got this!💪💪
Hey chris bro i was really over weight and started working out cuz of you I really really admire you and support all the decisions that you make more love you you brother
C Bum! you're such an inspiration! Not just to people who love working out but just in general! Your way of living your life and the reflection you clearly do is admirable. I absolutely love watching your videos - they give me motivation to keep pushing even when things/life seems at its darkest! Keep up the good work and lets get that title home where it belongs! Best of luck during the last part of prep. I wish the best for you and your family! Much love from Denmark
I'm just starting my body building career. I'm still a skinny bitch, and I'm still not very strong. But. I know that I've beat that hardest part, and that's discipline and consistency, and that is largely due to you. All of these science-based channels talk about how above a certain number of sets is sub optimal. And in a video a few months ago, you said that if I'm young and my body can take it, to train like an asshole. And I took that to heart, I have a lot of catch up to do, so working and training as hard as my body will physically let me is going to be a necessity. You inspire me and keep me on that path of sheer determination and obsession while others are looking at me and telling me I'm crazy. Thank you.
I love how you always keep it you vs you, such a healthy mentality and great for anyone trying to achieve anything, not just bodybuilding. Future GOAT for sure.
Can’t speak for everyone but someone at your level being open about real emotions and hard times goes a long way..takes a lot to do that to thousands of people👍💪
15:40 I always felt like my shoulders would rip off aswell in overhead positions( fully stretched lats). The only way it goes away for me is when u try to push upwards during the negatives of the lat. I know it sounds odd but it takes all of the tension away from the shoulder and places it more on the chest/abs+ It allows for an even greater stretch!!
Cbum!!!!! Man, you're not only someone who I look up to for bodybuilding, but you're a mentor for me. I get the motivation after watching your awesome vidoes!
@A 177 I never said I want to look like him. I said I get motivated to hit the gym after seeing his workout videos. You will never even get close to him ever, not even 1 percent, so don't tell others lol.

I’m just getting back into the gym now and your videos have been a massive inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your hard work.

Pressure is most certainly a privilege but can definitely see how much it can weigh on you sometimes, man. All the best this year with the show and your mental health- we love ya either way.
Always a battle, but thanks man 🙏🏼
I just love coming home from the gym, getting food and watching his videos. It more than motivates me !
This vid is incredibly well done. Props to Calvin big time. I remember watching the Olympia 3 part series and having that kinda of quality through a whole prep series is going to be insane🙏
Chris will never understand the amount of hope and passion he has give me and millions of people all around the world especially on the fitness type of side to keep carrying on, I don't ussaly say this on public platforms but as a suicide survivor Chris has definitely gave me the will to live and carry on woth my dream, you could say he was the best thing I've come across. Thank you Chris your consistency is unmatchable and your physique is un containable, stay strong man we're all here for you 🙂👌🏼
Love you Chris, keep up the work. No matter what happens, we all love you for you. ❤❤
@A 177 L
The fact that this man is trying to reply to all comments, or at least like them is very nice thing. I know that this man made many days for many people
True inspiration, true warrior and one of the best that ever came on stage to Olympia, the champion mentality we're all in love with, may god bless you MAN 🇩🇿💪🏻
Love you too Chris, appreciate your mature outlook on relationships and personal development, and I thank you for being such a good example for so many people in that aspect. Always wishing you well my guy.
Your videos mean a lot to me Chris, thanks
I cant wait to hear we love you champ
The funny thing is this the second straight me and chris prepping in the same time and all of his videos makes me feel better every time
It’s like another person talking about your struggles and mindset
Love ya chris❤
Appreciate that man lets get to work!
@@ChrisBumstead you made my day better let’s win this shit❤️
the talk at the end of the video... you're simply the goat and a role model not only in BB but as a person!
Got my first show tomorrow, super excited!
Good luck brotha 🔥🤝
@@abanana5779 Thanks man. I won true novice and novice, came 2nd in open and 3rd in military.
Love the way Calvin has brought a new darker aesthetic to this series, looking forward to more
let’s get it champ 👑 no pressure no pain ✊🏿
We love you Chris. You make this whole community come together, you don't just better your life, you better ours, with the "motivation" and mainly discipline you have to keep crushing the top standard of bodybuilding. You have inspired and changed so many lives, including mine. Much love, and always rooting for ya.
cbum seems way to chill compared to this time around last year i hope he is as committed to win as last year, best of luck to the champ haha
Amazing young man... I am 40 years old and seems like my body has reached new level ... I'm not a competitor , just love to train and following you for just over a year now the way I train and think about fitness has changed... Thank you for being inspirational!👊
It’s crazy you already won 3 Olympias and it seems like you’re barely in your prime 👀 excited to grow up in the era of bodybuilding and you’ being that example I look up to everyday youre a blessing excited to see you leave a legacy behind bro 🙏🙏
I appreciate all workout tips you give, but I continue coming back because of your insights on life. I respect how you carry yourself. I had to do a lot of damage to myself and to people in my life to reach some of the same conclusions you have, about life and my own personal values. I also love getting a sneak peak into the mindset of a champion. I have my own personal athletic goals, that by the way have nothing to do with bodybuilding, running mostly, and seeing the dedication it takes to be the best is inspiring. You're a good dude and a wise dude. I wish you nothing but the best CBum.
Un Entrenamiento increíble para espalda 💪🔥🔥
I've tried to write this comment three times now, but each time I get done with it I decide to delete what I've written. I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's because I don't want to admit to myself that someday there could be a future without C-Bum dropping into my day to give me a kick in the ass.
Chris, I'm really glad your headspace is aces right now, and I'm pumped to continue to watch your career. I truly hope, when the time comes for you to retire, you choose a path in life that allows us to stay tuned to where you're at and what you're doing. You've become a massive inspiration for me, and I'm not talking about the gym. I have the self-motivation to workout and stay fit. No, you've become a motivation for me to chase my dreams and focus my life on work that I have a passion for. I stepped out of the rat race and quit my job last April to chase my dream of becoming a writer and humanitarian. Watching your journey helped give me the courage I needed to change my life.
Thanks, dude.
If you would have just posted 2 hours before than that would be my back routine for today❤️💯
next time!
@@ChrisBumstead omg sir you replied😭😭❤️
You are growing, and I'm not just talking about your body but more importantly as a person. As you said, you are becoming a model for many young people who see you and try to be like you. That is a huge responsibility if you of course want to take it. Great video again, cheers!
Top demais .... o melhor do mundo 🌎 🔥 🔥
That's why I love and admire Cbum. The fact that he's open, humble truly inspires me. We all face our doubts, fears and bad moments and by being honest and tackling them we evolve. I just don't want Cbum to feel as if he loses the Olympia that he's letting all of us down. I may never be a bodybuilder but I've always felt inspired by you and I wish you and Iain, I mean he's also family to you, all the best in your preparation and in life. Thank you Cbum 😀.
Te voy a superar ❤️🥺
Really enjoy the workout portion… but who in the World has done this mental diary during the most painful/lonesome competition? Thank you. Love two points I will always take
1- I may be tired during the day, but my muscles are still there. It is all mental.
2- I know how to beat last year’s champ. Just beautiful cheat sheet for us to copy in our lives.
Again… thank you for a journey into the active mind of a champ. We see Jordan’s mind decades after.. but to see yours today.. priceless. Thank you for making time for us. Sincerely.
There are a lot of things in life, not regarding working out, that I've learned from you.
I think that by watching these videos I've not only become better at the gym, but a better person overall. Thank you Chris, truly! ❤💪
Chris you taking the time to share your journey towards another title has been nothing short of inspirational. Knowing what you go through and what drives you still is amazing!! True champion mentality!! 🏆 🙏🏻 I feel like and I'm on this journey with you as I'm sure many others do as well, watching your videos and posts going through the ups and downs to reaching that ultimate goal in the next 5 weeks!! Thank you again for being you and caring about us! 4X title here we go!!!
God bless you Chris. Young guys need a role model like you. An “influencer” like you setting the example.
We're all grateful for the example you set. Its one reason why I watch your videos.
The brains and heart behind the physique are what makes this channel far superior to others. Time for Four and at least one more so you have a full year with Hany 🙏 GET IT!
Best vid you’ve done bro. Insightful and inspirational.

Chris you're a huge inspiration to me and to a lot of people! Your mentality and everything gives me the motivation to do more and better myself. You have the best physique in this era and i know so many people that say they want to be like you! I appreciate everything you do bro and i wish you all the best! 4x Mr Olympia incoming!! 💪🏽💯👊🏽
Biggest role model. Literally
I was never into the bodybuilding stuff but slowly I’m becoming more interested. I mainly like watching your videos because you are simply REAL and genuine. Your videos are motivating for many life aspects, not just for health/gym motivation. I take motivation from you on continuing my academic journey, so thanks for that! Can’t wait to see you win your 4th Mr. Olympia Title CBUM!
These are so motivational. Proud of you Chris. You are a great role model. And way to overcome your public speaking. Thavage!
Love the vulnerability you have. Everyone needs to see this side too so we can relate with you that much more, we’re all human
love the talks to the camera, we appreciate the insight to the mind as well as the lifting content
Love you Chris. Thanks buddy.
Bro you a g . Thank you for this
Hey Chris, all I wanna say is I know you win again And I hope that after you win, we get to see you step on stage again you’ve inspired a lot of people and change many lives and no matter what happens you’ll always be Mr. Olympia number one in our eyes. Keep it up💪🏻🤍
the main factor is your health, both mental and physical. you’ve proven enough for all of us fans, but we all know that you can only blast gear for so long before, we’ll, you know… compete or not, your fan base will always be here. but we (our opinions/support) don’t matter. you are the one that matters bc you are putting your health and life on the line to compete. be safe and make the best decision for you. we’ll still be here
Surely I know you can beat Chris from a year ago at this moment that you are living bc you are motivated, you have passion and bc you know a lot of people like me look up to you. Hope you the best on this prep season and I wish you the best to not only winning Olympia, also to get better everyday. And always remember, as you said, not quiting is the real challenge and what makes greatness.
Do writing down a legacy in the history of bodybuilding and keep battling yourself from last year in the mirror so nobody will ever get close to the legacy you wrote down yourself in the history of bodybuilding. Even when you get to that point you talked about where all you are feel like you are chasing is just another Olympia, don't think you are just chasing another Olympia paper card, think that you are being the legacy itself in the history of bodybuilding that will be remembered even after a hundred years that nobody will ever be able to be, like war heroes, be the one that people from a hundred years later will say remembering you footsteps in the history "So this is Christoper Adam Bumstead.." even after our time had passed. Never fail at battling and defeating yourself 8 times for an infinity mark. Love you Cbum.
You got this man. Pressure is a privilege. 💯
Fantastic perspective Chris. Love your sharing insight into your life and drive as well.
Been waiting for the series to begin. Lets gooooooo GOAT
This is truly amazing, the amount of motivation and mental strength(and physical strength) is just incredible, keep up the amazing work Cbum you got this!💪💪
One of the most humbles one’s out there. Good luck Chris, you got this!!
Love the explanation of intrinsic benefits and what those things mean to you! Very powerful and valuable!
Hey chris bro i was really over weight and started working out cuz of you I really really admire you and support all the decisions that you make more love you you brother
C Bum! you're such an inspiration! Not just to people who love working out but just in general! Your way of living your life and the reflection you clearly do is admirable. I absolutely love watching your videos - they give me motivation to keep pushing even when things/life seems at its darkest! Keep up the good work and lets get that title home where it belongs! Best of luck during the last part of prep. I wish the best for you and your family! Much love from Denmark
I’m happy that your in a good state right now man you deserve the world Chris🖤
I'm just starting my body building career. I'm still a skinny bitch, and I'm still not very strong. But. I know that I've beat that hardest part, and that's discipline and consistency, and that is largely due to you. All of these science-based channels talk about how above a certain number of sets is sub optimal. And in a video a few months ago, you said that if I'm young and my body can take it, to train like an asshole. And I took that to heart, I have a lot of catch up to do, so working and training as hard as my body will physically let me is going to be a necessity. You inspire me and keep me on that path of sheer determination and obsession while others are looking at me and telling me I'm crazy. Thank you.
I love how you always keep it you vs you, such a healthy mentality and great for anyone trying to achieve anything, not just bodybuilding. Future GOAT for sure.
Can’t speak for everyone but someone at your level being open about real emotions and hard times goes a long way..takes a lot to do that to thousands of people👍💪
Looking for my first show in 2023, you’ve been a huge inspiration all the way 🙏
Big man Watson gotta love that guy
Keep up the hard work Cbum can’t wait to see you Rock Olympia 🔥 been hitting everyone of your workouts I can and loving it
I'm about to cry. Thank you so deeply.
I love you Chris, you inspire me to be a better man. I love your mindset and your drive. Truly aspirational!
15:40 I always felt like my shoulders would rip off aswell in overhead positions( fully stretched lats). The only way it goes away for me is when u try to push upwards during the negatives of the lat. I know it sounds odd but it takes all of the tension away from the shoulder and places it more on the chest/abs+ It allows for an even greater stretch!!
You're a class act in being a nice humble guy!
We all know what you're doing with that camera angle at 8:40 you love to see it man! keep up the great work CBUM and editor! ;)
Best video to watch before Monday 😈💪🏻
Thanks Chris. Really needed to hear this!
Cbum!!!!! Man, you're not only someone who I look up to for bodybuilding, but you're a mentor for me. I get the motivation after watching your awesome vidoes!
@A 177 I never said I want to look like him. I said I get motivated to hit the gym after seeing his workout videos. You will never even get close to him ever, not even 1 percent, so don't tell others lol.
