6 Years ago I began my fitness journey as a 90 pound frail, lanky, near emaciated teen looking to build confidence and become comfortable in my own skin. Although my central goal has always been muscular development, I quickly fell in love with strength training as an integral part of acquiring the physique of my dreams. Physical changes don’t occur overnight, but chasing strength became a source of constant motivation for me, a goal to strive for day in and day out in the gym, a goal which I could see materialize from training session to training session.

Jeff Seid is an incredibly famous American bodybuilder, fitness model, and a social media celebrity who has thousands of fans admiring him not only for his looks and physique but also for his magnetic personality. He is very health-conscious and believes in leading an active lifestyle. His gorgeous looks coupled with a dashing physique have earned him hype as a well-established bodybuilder who promotes the ultimate fitness mantra. His love for sports since the age of five triggered his interest in gradually building up a strong physique and maintaining a fuss-free, energetic lifestyle. According to Jeff, physical strength is akin to power and literally ensures the survival of the fittest in this highly competitive world. The urge to be in good physical shape was so high that it inspired him to start lifting heavy weights at the mere age of eleven! It was none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger who served as his idol and Jeff sourced his inspiration from his childhood hero. It took him around five years to achieve the physique he desired as a teenager, and the transformation he underwent from the age of 13-17 is really worthy of applause. While it may sound like a mission impossible, Jeff has proudly shown the world that determination and hard work can lead to unbelievable success in spite of the numerous setbacks that may came one’s way.

My name is Chris Bumstead and I am an IFBB Classic Physique Pro from Ottawa, Canada. Growing up, I built the base of my physique training for football, basketball and track and field in high school. It wasn’t until I met my friend, coach and now brother-in-law, Iain Valliere, that I even thought about competing. In 2014, at the age of 19, I participated in my first bodybuilding show and fell in love with competing.In 2015, I won bodybuilding Junior Canadian Nationals and in 2016 I earned my IFBB pro card as the Bodybuilding Heavyweight Champion at the IFBB North American Championships at the age of 21. After turning pro, I switched over to the Classic Physique division and in 2017 and in 2018 I qualified and competed in the Mr. Olympia competition, where I finished second place both years. I currently still reside in Canada where I am training to obtain that first-place position for the Classic Physique Olympia.I started out purely with the love of training hard and wanting to get huge. Slowly I started to build a more complex love of fitness. Physique wise switching to the Classic division drove my passion through the roof, thinking now of symmetry aesthetics and portraying it all as a form of art through posing is such a different dynamic than just trying to be huge. And in the overall fitness and health aspect, I went from eating whatever was in sight to try and grow, to actually understanding the nutrients and how much I should be taking in to optimize recovery, growth and most importantly health. A lot of my increased views on overall health came when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, IGA Nephropathy. While this may cut my career as a professional competitor short, my love for fitness and training will always be the most important aspect of my life that I will continue to uphold for as long as I possibly can. We all face our own challenges in life and I’m just grateful to have a positive output such as the gym I can always look forward to through the good and the bad.
