Chris Bumstead Issues a Hilarious Apology to Coach Hany Rambod Leaving Bodybuilding World Chuckling

Chris Bumstead has the world starstruck with his jacked-up physique, beating the best of the best. The five-time Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion has nailed the winning formula when it comes to balancing size and muscle mass. But there’s one man to whom he credits his titles, without whom he couldn’t have been the GOAT that he is today.

Hany Rambod has been in the Mr. Olympia zone for more time than one could imagine. Having trained some of the greatest bodybuilders in history, Chris Bumstead happened to be one of his star proteges.

In a recent post, Bumstead penned a heartwarming note to his coach on his birthday. Dedicating an assortment of pictures, the bodybuilding icon was thankful for Rambod and his guidance throughout his career so far. However, he ended the caption on a cheeky note:

“The Birthday Boy @hanyrambod
No idea old you are because the stress I caused you the last couple years probably sped things up a bit
Appreciate you brother.”

The dedication drew in many more wishes from fellow bodybuilders. Popular fitness influencer Granny Guns, who previously collaborated with Bumstead, also chimed in with her good wishes for the coach.

While the note and dedication were quite wholesome, Rambod thanked his mentee with an equally cheeky reply. Since Bumstead brought in his age and the stress the coach’s profession carried, the Olympia title-holder’s coach retorted:

“Thank you so much Chris! I was on my way to growing back hair until I met you.
P.S. Send hair relocation plan.”

Rambod has been in the coaching industry since the late 90s, churning out champions like a pro. Although he started as a bodybuilder himself, he soon found his niche. And now, with clients like Bumstead, Rambod’s expertise gains more credibility.
