give me some time bro, give me some time, don't forget I'm just started doing classic bodybuilding, I have to train my body to its full potential. you will see soon
Haha I was going to say this.
“Can I be the next USAIN BOLT!?”
“You’ve never competed before.”
“HEY! Give me time to reach that level…I’ve been doing hill sprints pretty hard for some time now. Don’t rush me.”
You look great though dude! Keep going!
With sprinting it is more clear. If you are in your 20s, train twice a week and your 100m time is 11.5, you are pretty quick, but you won't become Usain Bolt if you trained full time.
Bodybuilding is different. It is subjective. It is hard to define aesthetics. If Nick Walker posted a picture on Reddit when he was 200lbs and said I want to be top 5 in Mr Olympia, we would say he is delusional. Look at him now
Also going to have to really up the Pharma. Dude it 29 so he doesn’t really have a decade to put towards growth in hopes of catching someone younger than him.
I don't think any naysayer is unimpressed, and probably just as many want you to win. But the degree of separation between you and probably 1000s of other guys in your class (by whatever metric) is much less that the separation between Bumstead and 99.99% of the population. Everyone will be impressed to see you become *the man*, but 'til then you're someone else gunning for the spot. Hope i don't sound like a dick and hope this reads somehow encouraging and not twatty
Hi cbum fanboi downvoters, your favorite will eventually fall from his throne. If OP continues to push through and grow, the sky’s the limit.
You got this, OP 👍
This is the correct attitude. Big ups man, make sure your posing and your posing faces are fluid and presentable. Smile, look relaxed, walk on the stage knowing you own it.
Dude so much. That mentality is what fuels future victory. It’s not done in one day. It’s a series of tracks we lay every day that leads to the W.
Go get it OP
You’re correct. Sorry OP, not trying to be a prick, but calling out Mr. Olympia before you’ve accomplished much in the sport is poor form, despite a confident/cocky attitude about where you’ll end up. Hope you’ll use this as motivation to do great things.
Not this year but your journey so far is savage! Chris is the reigning champion for a reason and I'd be surprised if he doesn't win again this year but anything is possible. Keep chasing that goal. Your committment and discipline got you this far and your journey is far from over but you aren't at Chris' level just yet. Absolutely no shame in where you are at now. Many guys would wish to accomplish what you have. Keep grinding and I hope you'll update us again.
You are delusional.
Like others have said, confidence is one thing.. calling out a 3x Mr. Olympia when you haven’t even competed as an amateur ONCE makes you an ass.
Uhm.. because there is zero indication of sarcasm?
Go read all of OP’s comments. He’s serious. Literally says he is going to match Cbum’s legs. Do YOU understand sarcasm?
Calling out the top dogs is a regular technique of getting attention by way of controversial statements, it’s the only reason anyone knows the name Bostin Loyd, and the only reason why 85% of the commenters in this thread are here. OP played all yall
I wouldn’t say he had an elite physique, he looked good sure but he severely lacked chest, lats, legs, and delts in that order, and honestly didn’t look better than a top 3 lineup in amateur shows. He was never known for a great physique, he was only known for talking mad shit to stay relevant, and taking astronomical amounts of gear which he was open about, which I will say the latter was respectable.
Your upper body is really good… your legs while good, need a lot more work to compete with the pros… and there is nothing wrong with that, I’m sure you have a job and a girl and other things… the pros work out, eat, sleep… that’s it, that’s their job…
I mean yeah you look great but not a chance in hell you're dethroning Cbum lol. Let's set some more realistic expectations to reach first. Like going pro maybe. That's a solid goal to set
Possibly. Especially with his health issue, he has nothing left to prove. He is making a lot more from social media and his businesses and people will continue to follow him regardless if he still competes.
Yes it's true. I gave it to him that one fateful night after we finished a long hard workout. We decided to hit the sauna and one thing led to another and I gave him eggs
The question is, do you believe it? Because that’s all that really matters. Thoughts become things. Never let a bunch of fat guys on Reddit diminish your hard work.
Don’t get why you’re getting downvoted in the comments. You’re just keeping a positive mindset about it. If you set your mind to it I think you can do just about anything you want;) amazing physique btw.
You’re natty? Unfortunately to be a contender in the world of bodybuilding in any division you’d have started gear 8 years ago, not to say you can’t qualify for the Olympia in a few years of using but anyone who is anyone has been on the juice at 22 at the latest on top of elite genetics etc etc. good luck with your future progress!
THAT BACK IS FANTASTIC!!!!!! If you could get those lats to grow just a wee bit more! BUT HOLY SHIT! Again, I don't discount your hard work or genetics, you have major potential for real growth in the sport and I wish you the luck!
Fuck the haters and get it bro. I hope to see you crush this bitch and come for the king. Your life is yours, your goals are yours. Fuck these armchair bitches. Works ahead but fucking get it. I’ll hype you up motherfucker!LFG
Dude, stay at it and you're having fun. Judging can be fickle and who fully knows which way the tides will roll. Look at so many stunning upsets over the years. You look great dude and I can only imagine the journey to get here. Just know, most of us are stoked w a belt size drop or a new split in triceps. This shit you have going is so niche and developed, its inspiring. We shall cheer for you and thanks for putting yourself out there. People's champ!
Yea it’s possible but unfortunately there is a certain amount of politics in bodybuilding competitions and that can be a big hurdle but best wishes my friend
I don't know what's worse: THE ALL CAPS AND POOR GRAMMAR IN YOUR TITLE, or thinking you or anyone has a chance at meaningful being compared to CBum. Looking great though brother keep grinding.
At that level, hard work isn’t enough. Genetics will be the deciding fact. Not sure what your numbers are but Cbum seems taller and has wider shoulders than you. But I could be wrong
People downvoting have no sense of humor. Two years tops for OP. Cbum wont be getting that 5th Olympia. And Terrance will move down to 3rd place.
In all honesty, your legs remind me of Andrew Jacked a little. Posing could use some work and you have time with 5 weeks. But looking great for a first contest.
You look sick bro. You mentioned you just started classic bodybuilding, how long have you been training overall? No one can answer your question, because you two are at completely different points of progression. I will say 2 things I believe. 1, If we put cbum from 3-5 years ago next to current you, that may be competitive. 2, I’m sure cbum never gave a flying f about what sloppy mfs on Reddit thought of his physique and while I appreciate the post because I’m here too, I don’t think you should give much weight to anyone that doesn’t encourage you to continue, but unfortunately, no one can tell if you’ll be able to be a threat at that level. It’s just as mental as it is physical. Best of luck bro
You look great. However, compare your poses and musculature to cbum and look at the drastic amount of differences. You have a lot of work ahead, many years. I applaud you for the confidence in yourself, but be realistic.
You’re about as big as cbum in terms of purely size. The only place cbum beats you in is structural genetics, which cbum is on a level of his own. But in terms of size, you’re already there. You’re remarkable
Unfortunately, he is nowhere near the size of Cbum, height yes. I don't discount the man's hardwork or genetics but minimal he would have to train at least two more years to catch the size of Cbum.
You have the genetics to stand up there, no doubt! It just may be after Chris retires which is okay, because standing up there is an accomplishment of itself! Personally, I'd never make it to the Olympia level, but I'd love to eventually set a season in motion for The Mr. Natual Olympia! But good luck on your upcoming show, top 3 easily!
I could be wrong. However his biceps look around 20-21” which is just about chums size. The calves look much smaller and the legs are a big smaller. But upper body wouldn’t look small next to cbums, in my opinion.
In your opinion you've obviously have never watched an Olympia show, Cbum is huge! Look at the size Terrance Ruff has put on just to stand next to Chris. No offense, if I were you, I'd do a little more HW on bodybuilding and what the judging criteria is.
You look absolutely amazing. But cbum is on a whole different level.
give me some time bro, give me some time, don't forget I'm just started doing classic bodybuilding, I have to train my body to its full potential. you will see soon
Yo you're the one that asked if you could dethrone him. Right now, no, but in 3-5 years you could be an issue for him. Looking sick brother⚡️
Haha I was going to say this. “Can I be the next USAIN BOLT!?” “You’ve never competed before.” “HEY! Give me time to reach that level…I’ve been doing hill sprints pretty hard for some time now. Don’t rush me.” You look great though dude! Keep going!
You need or atleast significantly benefit from that type of mindset when trying to be the best
With sprinting it is more clear. If you are in your 20s, train twice a week and your 100m time is 11.5, you are pretty quick, but you won't become Usain Bolt if you trained full time. Bodybuilding is different. It is subjective. It is hard to define aesthetics. If Nick Walker posted a picture on Reddit when he was 200lbs and said I want to be top 5 in Mr Olympia, we would say he is delusional. Look at him now
5 years time with impeccable training diet and gear? Maybe.
Also going to have to really up the Pharma. Dude it 29 so he doesn’t really have a decade to put towards growth in hopes of catching someone younger than him.
Idk whats up with the downvotes, but you got this man. Keep at it and aim for #1. You'll get it one day.
I love cbum, but I want to see some competition. Give me someone even better to cheer on. Hope to see you up there my guy, you got the right attitude.
thank you bro
Lmao. You're 29 and can't even hit an FDB. You also claim natty which is totally whack. You need to chill TFA.
Good luck with your journey. You have the right mindset and don’t be swayed by the cult downvoting you.
thank you very much man!!
I don't think any naysayer is unimpressed, and probably just as many want you to win. But the degree of separation between you and probably 1000s of other guys in your class (by whatever metric) is much less that the separation between Bumstead and 99.99% of the population. Everyone will be impressed to see you become *the man*, but 'til then you're someone else gunning for the spot. Hope i don't sound like a dick and hope this reads somehow encouraging and not twatty
Yes! You look great bro but what's even better is your mentality. You'll crush it.
thank you
It’s your first show bro you ain’t even qualified yet lol
Sound like a DBZ character. I love it
In 3-5 years cbum would be retired. Maybe you’ll beat Urs.
Hi cbum fanboi downvoters, your favorite will eventually fall from his throne. If OP continues to push through and grow, the sky’s the limit. You got this, OP 👍
This is the correct attitude. Big ups man, make sure your posing and your posing faces are fluid and presentable. Smile, look relaxed, walk on the stage knowing you own it.
i will work on it, thanks for the kindly motivation
Lol the cbum stans downvoting. Great mindset bro, let these nerds hate
To you are fantastic. And I’m sure in more time you will be a beast. But yea as they said cbum is well….cbum.
Natty?
not any more
No.
Lol. I love the confidence in calling out the 3x Mr. Olympia, quickly followed by “but it’s my first show so don’t expect much right now.”
Dude so much. That mentality is what fuels future victory. It’s not done in one day. It’s a series of tracks we lay every day that leads to the W. Go get it OP
I don’t think he was complimenting him. It sounds like more of a mix of cockiness with a cop-out
You’re correct. Sorry OP, not trying to be a prick, but calling out Mr. Olympia before you’ve accomplished much in the sport is poor form, despite a confident/cocky attitude about where you’ll end up. Hope you’ll use this as motivation to do great things.
you idiot, he wasnt complimenting him
I love this
You look great, but in any likelihood you’re never gonna touch the Olympia top 5. Prove me wrong, I’m rooting for you.
Not this year but your journey so far is savage! Chris is the reigning champion for a reason and I'd be surprised if he doesn't win again this year but anything is possible. Keep chasing that goal. Your committment and discipline got you this far and your journey is far from over but you aren't at Chris' level just yet. Absolutely no shame in where you are at now. Many guys would wish to accomplish what you have. Keep grinding and I hope you'll update us again.
thank you!!
currently two years in as a 17 year old and I’d kill for a physique like that 😅
Currently 25, 9 years in (naturally) and I'd kill for a physique like that. So yea, he looks freaking swole
Wtf is up with claiming natty? Gross.
Where does he claim natural?
Lol he scrubbed it ofc. What a twat.
Peek at his profile. On a bunch of his posts.
It’s good to have goals
You look great, but cbum? Hahaha
You are delusional. Like others have said, confidence is one thing.. calling out a 3x Mr. Olympia when you haven’t even competed as an amateur ONCE makes you an ass.
You guys think I have a chance of beating Messi? Prepare to be dethroned, tiny Argentinian man.
You are inept at sarcasm
Uhm.. because there is zero indication of sarcasm? Go read all of OP’s comments. He’s serious. Literally says he is going to match Cbum’s legs. Do YOU understand sarcasm?
You got 10 years , you don't look 18 , so time isn't on your side
This man is 18???
He said he's 29 lmfao.
Conclusion only gonna beat cbum in dreams
He looks good but calling out a Mr. Olympia is childish.
Calling out the top dogs is a regular technique of getting attention by way of controversial statements, it’s the only reason anyone knows the name Bostin Loyd, and the only reason why 85% of the commenters in this thread are here. OP played all yall
B.L. has an actual elite physique worthy of attention. OP got nothing elite.
I wouldn’t say he had an elite physique, he looked good sure but he severely lacked chest, lats, legs, and delts in that order, and honestly didn’t look better than a top 3 lineup in amateur shows. He was never known for a great physique, he was only known for talking mad shit to stay relevant, and taking astronomical amounts of gear which he was open about, which I will say the latter was respectable.
thats the point - he doesnt seem 18, he is likely to be older so he doesnt have time on his side.
Your upper body is really good… your legs while good, need a lot more work to compete with the pros… and there is nothing wrong with that, I’m sure you have a job and a girl and other things… the pros work out, eat, sleep… that’s it, that’s their job…
Gonna need to add some size and gear to dethrone the champ
[удалено]
Follow deez nuts
Infinite ratio
Oh shit I got it to the nice number: https://i.imgur.com/YrWfRLE.jpg
You got this man 💪🏼
LFG! Nice physique too man
Good build and confidence. If you aren't trying to be the best you are in the wrong sport, so go get it.
Downvoted for the stupid fucking title
Upvoting for the title. I think its pretty funny.
Maybe he was saying it sarcastically but i know a bunch of NPC level idiots talking about how they're going to "Take down Cbum" in all seriousness
Roid Rage much?
This is rich. Lolol
No
saw other posts ,stop claiming natty
im not claiming nothing bro
You end the post title with (natty). That’s pretty misleading.
Stop being a lying POS. It’s literally posted BY YOU on YOUR PAGE!! GTFO…
Tbh honest, physique is good but by the time you come to his level he prblly look at retiring or be retired.
I mean yeah you look great but not a chance in hell you're dethroning Cbum lol. Let's set some more realistic expectations to reach first. Like going pro maybe. That's a solid goal to set
Looks great, but you’re claiming natty, are you really??
You can beat a bum...but Cbum...nah But you have a great base to build from, and I am sure you will look awesome breh
thank you
He will probably retire the next year or two.
I'm predicting he retires after this Olympia tbh
Possibly. Especially with his health issue, he has nothing left to prove. He is making a lot more from social media and his businesses and people will continue to follow him regardless if he still competes.
does he have health issues?
Yeah he has aids
Acid aids.
Yes it's true. I gave it to him that one fateful night after we finished a long hard workout. We decided to hit the sauna and one thing led to another and I gave him eggs
Pick your arms up more in double bi
No you cant beat cbum. Still sick tho
You look great but cbum is out of this world, you’re on the earth and just working hard.
Yeah, he got a long way to go...
Looking good. Sure, give or take 10-15 years and cbum retiring, you're gonna be a sure win at the O..
🤣 🤣
The question is, do you believe it? Because that’s all that really matters. Thoughts become things. Never let a bunch of fat guys on Reddit diminish your hard work.
i believe in it bro!
Fucking great potential you have. I’d say you still have a while to go before you get to that level but work hard af and see just how far you can go.
You better than 99% of others out there. But cbum is better than 100% of others our there. With that being said, prove me wrong, good luck
Impossible he just has perfect genetics for classic
avr 15 year old now a days 😕
i'm 29 years old
That doesn’t bode well for dethroning cbum considering he is younger lol
LoL
Don’t get why you’re getting downvoted in the comments. You’re just keeping a positive mindset about it. If you set your mind to it I think you can do just about anything you want;) amazing physique btw.
>Don’t get why you’re getting downvoted I think the downvote train started after his previous post claiming natty was brought up.
Oh lmfao natty status looks long gone. Still think he’s got an insane build tho!
You’re natty? Unfortunately to be a contender in the world of bodybuilding in any division you’d have started gear 8 years ago, not to say you can’t qualify for the Olympia in a few years of using but anyone who is anyone has been on the juice at 22 at the latest on top of elite genetics etc etc. good luck with your future progress!
if I can reach this kind of physique without using juice what would it look when I'm start using juice?
Aren’t you using now? What’s the point of this question
No.
If you have better posing, you could possibly have a good fighting chance. But outstanding physique. Would love to see a back double bi for sure.
check my profile for the back pose
THAT BACK IS FANTASTIC!!!!!! If you could get those lats to grow just a wee bit more! BUT HOLY SHIT! Again, I don't discount your hard work or genetics, you have major potential for real growth in the sport and I wish you the luck!
your arms are definitely better lol
Fuck the haters and get it bro. I hope to see you crush this bitch and come for the king. Your life is yours, your goals are yours. Fuck these armchair bitches. Works ahead but fucking get it. I’ll hype you up motherfucker!LFG
Front looks good. But what's your back look like?
Anything’s possible.
Great physique bro. Keep up the great work 💯
Phenomenal insertions and balance, probably can’t beat Cbum yet, but with hard work and determination I bet it’s possible someday 💪💪💪
Keep up the workout and roids 😂
Cut af bro!
No
Dude, stay at it and you're having fun. Judging can be fickle and who fully knows which way the tides will roll. Look at so many stunning upsets over the years. You look great dude and I can only imagine the journey to get here. Just know, most of us are stoked w a belt size drop or a new split in triceps. This shit you have going is so niche and developed, its inspiring. We shall cheer for you and thanks for putting yourself out there. People's champ!
thank you bro! i really appreciate your support
Can you beat cbum off, on his throne? Sheeeit man probs
Unlikely...his years ahead of you. Time you get to CBums level his retired.
More steroids lil bro, that should do it
Yea it’s possible but unfortunately there is a certain amount of politics in bodybuilding competitions and that can be a big hurdle but best wishes my friend
I think you are not wide enough structurally... But you have a great physique, yes. Good luck!
Love the work ethic, but I need to know what camera and lens your using 😅
its the cinematic mode on my iPhone 13 Pro Max
Op can you train a fellow redditor ??
sure
Naa
bro you have a long way to go, but honestly I dont think you can tho.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw you was ‘power’, look liked your chiselled from stone, unreal.
I don't know what's worse: THE ALL CAPS AND POOR GRAMMAR IN YOUR TITLE, or thinking you or anyone has a chance at meaningful being compared to CBum. Looking great though brother keep grinding.
thanks man!
Big ups. It's obvious you're putting in the work.
nope sorry.
you look sick if u work on ur posing a keep getting better and bigger i dont see why u wont compete at the O
By the time you get your pro card cbum will be beaten already
2-3 more years and you're gonna look like a god
No
The odds are not in your favor sir.
CBUM is your daddy. CBUM is everyone’s daddy. Not gonna happen…
Yes!
At that level, hard work isn’t enough. Genetics will be the deciding fact. Not sure what your numbers are but Cbum seems taller and has wider shoulders than you. But I could be wrong
People downvoting have no sense of humor. Two years tops for OP. Cbum wont be getting that 5th Olympia. And Terrance will move down to 3rd place. In all honesty, your legs remind me of Andrew Jacked a little. Posing could use some work and you have time with 5 weeks. But looking great for a first contest.
No one is beating CBUM,the only person that can take that away if he didn’t show up 😂
You look outstanding, man. But leave daddy cbum alone😓
No
You look sick bro. You mentioned you just started classic bodybuilding, how long have you been training overall? No one can answer your question, because you two are at completely different points of progression. I will say 2 things I believe. 1, If we put cbum from 3-5 years ago next to current you, that may be competitive. 2, I’m sure cbum never gave a flying f about what sloppy mfs on Reddit thought of his physique and while I appreciate the post because I’m here too, I don’t think you should give much weight to anyone that doesn’t encourage you to continue, but unfortunately, no one can tell if you’ll be able to be a threat at that level. It’s just as mental as it is physical. Best of luck bro
You have the wrong mindset. Stop worrying about beating CBUM and just focus on being jtjr best version of YOU.
Lookin like a Beast bro! Keep it up! 💪🏼
Not even close
Nah bro your black
Chicken White Rice and Broccoli cooked in extra virgin olive oil how many times a day?
You look great. However, compare your poses and musculature to cbum and look at the drastic amount of differences. You have a lot of work ahead, many years. I applaud you for the confidence in yourself, but be realistic.
I can definitely see you taking the mantle, but off his throne? Maybe not this time. You’re a monster already! I’ll be rooting for you
Raise your elbows higher in the front double
Not hatin? But maybe in another five years you could beat him. You’re pretty small compared to him.
our heights are the same so is our weight, I'm now cutting to 108 which is normal, look at Chris when he is stage ready, his weight is 108 as well
Like I said. I’m not hating man!! You have a killer Physique he’s just a different level Of size and definition and ratio
https://preview.redd.it/wi94y0i621z91.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=9fbb732d01eb4dc3e56043cc527c0497cd4fbea3
Lemme see that vacuum bro, then we’ll know for sure
Well done for making it this far bro. Wish you nothing but the best in the future
Look great my man
You look phenomenal bro!!
This is satire right? You look like Mike, my buddy who lifts and is a plumber.
Looking very good. Heading in the right direction no doubt. But I’d worry about getting my pro-card first b4 trying to beat the best in the world.
No
You can do it man! Want to add some MB Supplements to that roster
I know this is an older post but you look sick bro. Keep smashing it and I reckon rewards will come 🤙
Fken nice. What you taking?
Bro, you have great muscle but CBUM has that rare muscle attachment. Your build looks like the rest of us.
Oh Sweet Jesus.That man is fine and the lord did say “Don’t even play”
You’re about as big as cbum in terms of purely size. The only place cbum beats you in is structural genetics, which cbum is on a level of his own. But in terms of size, you’re already there. You’re remarkable
Unfortunately, he is nowhere near the size of Cbum, height yes. I don't discount the man's hardwork or genetics but minimal he would have to train at least two more years to catch the size of Cbum.
that's my goal bro in 2 years i will stand on Mr. Olympia
You have the genetics to stand up there, no doubt! It just may be after Chris retires which is okay, because standing up there is an accomplishment of itself! Personally, I'd never make it to the Olympia level, but I'd love to eventually set a season in motion for The Mr. Natual Olympia! But good luck on your upcoming show, top 3 easily!
I could be wrong. However his biceps look around 20-21” which is just about chums size. The calves look much smaller and the legs are a big smaller. But upper body wouldn’t look small next to cbums, in my opinion.
In your opinion you've obviously have never watched an Olympia show, Cbum is huge! Look at the size Terrance Ruff has put on just to stand next to Chris. No offense, if I were you, I'd do a little more HW on bodybuilding and what the judging criteria is.
Tren, ball sun, cold showers, progressive overload, no fappin either. You can do it! Trust the process.
no fappin is hard
especially if you have high sex drive
L
No. But I’m also sick of cbum fans
Lol won't even make top 50.0 legs.
You can do it he's overrated but pretty hard to compete against keep it up.
