In recent years, Chris Bumstead has come up as the unbeatable champion of the Classic Physique division. While the Canadian bodybuilder serves as an inspiration for many, there is another sportsperson whose energy he seems to be channeling within himself. The athlete in question is none other than the former basketball player Dennis Rodman.
Though the Menace a.k.a. Dennis Rodman retired from the sport nearly two decades ago, his unceasing energy is still flowing through the sports world. Recently, Chris Bumstead shared a photo on his Instagram handle with a direct reference to Rodman. Cbum’s outfit also indicated that the young bodybuilder is an avid fan of the retired basketball player.

When Rodman’s career was at its peak, he was the one who his competitors feared. The opponents tried different strategies to block his shots and rebounds. However, the Demolition man broke through the defense of all the teams. With his sheer determination and energy in all his games, Rodman has wowed the audience on multiple occasions throughout his career. The Rodzilla was part of the team that won the NBA Championships two times in a row.
Similarly, Chris Bumstead has shown Rodman-like passion for his sport. Though, unlike the NBA champ, Cbum isn’t a team player; yet he has managed to be a menace for his opponents. Just like in Rodman’s case, Cbum’s opponents have been trying their best to dethrone him. Some bodybuilders have even gone on record to say that they are on par with Cbum and will not let him win. However, no one has succeeded in stopping Bumstead from getting what he wants in the last few years. Chris Bumstead has been the winner of the Classic Physique division, of one of the biggest bodybuilding tournaments, for three years in a row now.
