Born and brought up in Ottawa, Ontario, Mr Bumstead was involved in multiple sports in high school, including fencing, football, basketball and hockey. He started weightlifting at the age of 14 and, between the 9th and 12th grade, he went from 170 to 225 pounds, growing his legs the most. After building what he thought was a good physique, he met his then coach, professional bodybuilder Lain Valliere. The association continued till October 2022.”
Narrating the journey of Mr Bumstead to the path of stardom, Mr Bhaskar noted, “Initially, growing up, bodybuilding was only a hobby for Mr Bumstead. But his interest in various games ranging from soccer to baseball, basketball and ice hockey developed his interest in athletics and he began weightlifting and bodybuilding. His first bodybuilding show was a regional-level show in Ontario. After this first show, he was thrilled with bodybuilding and in deep love with the sport of bodybuilding, and he decided to give his life to this sport.
“Mr Bumstead made his competitive debut in 2014 at the age of 19 and obtained his IFBB Pro card at the age of 21 after claiming the 2016 IFBB North American Bodybuilding Championship. He impressed the crowd and judges in his first Mr Olympia back in 2017, taking second place in the classic physique category. He repeated the performance in 2018. Thereafter he rose to international fame as the winner of the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Mr Olympia competition, making him the current reigning champion in Men’s Classic Physique.”
