“It’s a Lifestyle”: Chris Bumstead Unveils Behind-the-Scenes of Being a Bodybuilder Dad

Chris Bumstead has never bragged about living a glamorous lifestyle, but something about being a new dad has changed him. He loves sharing occasional glimpses from his new life with his fans and is quite proud of the recent milestone.

Bumstead’s latest social media posts often feature his beloved daughter, Bradley, and his routine as a bodybuilder dad trying to prepare for the upcoming Olympia. While the bodybuilder hasn’t been complaining about the pile of responsibilities on his plate, he has often been vocal about how overwhelming it has all been.

Nevertheless, the 29-year-old’s latest short video, exhibiting a comparison between him onstage versus him being a great dad has fans in a chokehold. Juggling through different tasks including that of a dad, an athlete, and a businessman is not for the weak, and his post was rightly captioned,
