Chris Bumstead, aka CBum, the five-time Mr. Olympia, hails from Canada. Bumstead was born in Ontario, Canada, on February 2, 1995, and is currently 29 years old.
He was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, in his childhood and completed his education there at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The five-time Mr. Olympia was active in multiple sports throughout his college years. He actively participated in football, baseball, basketball, and hockey, showcasing his versatility.
Chris Bumstead started his weightlifting journey when he was in Grade 9 at the age of 14. By the time he was in Grade 12, he had gained an astonishing amount of weight and had gone from 170 to 225 pounds, primarily developing his legs. Bumstead then met his sister Melissa Valliere's boyfriend, Ian Valliere, who helped CBum prepare to compete and guided him in the right direction.
After getting all ready, Chris Bumstead made his competitive debut in 2014 at the age of 19. Two years later, Bumstead became a pro bodybuilder, winning his pro card at the 2016 IFBB North American Championships and securing first place in the heavyweight division.
