Chris Bumstead Revealed His Mass Gain Nutrition Day

 Three-time winner Mr. Olympia Classic Physique Chris Bumstead recently shared his Full Day Mass Gain Diet (see video below). After defending his title at Olympia 2021, he took a break to allow his body to recover from the stress of competition. However, the recent battle with Covid-19 has resulted in significant weight loss as Bumstead is currently 28 lb (13 kg) lighter than his normal offseason weight.

Chris Bumstead Reveals His Mass Gain Nutrition Day


The 26-year-old athlete has returned to the gym. Chris Bumstead needs to gain mass to compete in the 2022 Olympia. He showed his weight gain food in a recent video on his YouTube channel.

At the beginning of the video, Chris calculated the required daily calorie intake based on gender, age, height, weight, activity level, and goal (weight gain) in the mobile app. An approximate estimate of the daily calorie intake for weight gain was as follows:

Calories - 4160 kcal

     Protein - 240 g.

     Carbohydrates - 480 g.

     Fat - 140 g.

According to Bumstead, consuming at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight is the most important factor in gaining weight, while other macronutrients are a rough estimate. He doesn't mind consuming a little extra protein, but he reduces other macronutrients proportionally as protein intake increases.

His daily diet consists of two large meals and three small meals. He prefers to eat this food in the morning and later during the day when he has a high appetite.

Meal 1 - Breakfast (large)

(Total Calories - 1030)

Chris Bumstead's day begins with a smoothie made with berries, supplements, and oatmeal in water. He prefers water to milk because smoothies are easier to digest and glutamine, greens, and fiber aid digestion.

Smoothie Ingredients:

     Blueberry

     Raspberries

     Banana - half

     glutamine

      Greenery

     Fiber

     Whey Protein Isolate - 1 Scoop

     Water

     Oatmeal - 70 grams.

He then proceeded to prepare breakfast while sipping on a smoothie. On this day, breakfast consisted of:

     Whole eggs - 3

     Toast - 3 slices with half an avocado on top

     Ketchup.

Chris may have to increase his diet to three large meals from his current diet of two depending on how his body reacts.

Meal 2 - Pre-Workout Meal (Small)

(Total Calories - 620)

Chris's Pre-Workout Meal is made up of simple, everyday ingredients and consists of:

     White rice - 280 gr.

     Minced turkey - 170 gr.

     Shredded salad

     Broccoli sprouts (raw)

     Salsa.

He has included broccoli sprouts in his diet as they help detoxify estrogen. Cooking broccoli sprouts can reduce their nutritional value. So Bumstead sprinkles them on his food during the meal.

Meal 3 - Post Workout Meal (Small)

(Total Calories - 500)

    White rice - 100 gr.

    Sesame Chicken.

Chris typically consumes MegaFit Sesame Chicken after training. However, he added rice to match the recommended carbohydrate intake.

Meal 4 (large)

(Total Calories - 1170)

The second large meal contains a significant proportion of carbohydrates and consists of:

    Brown rice paste - 160 grams.

    Ground beef - 225 gr.

    Pasta sauce.

He uses glucose tablets along with high carbohydrate meals. Berberine and chromium control blood sugar levels and also help deliver nutrients to muscles. When it comes to high-carb foods, he prefers pasta and sweet potatoes.

Meal 5 - last meal of the day

(Total Calories - 1170)

The last meal consists of his favorite foods and includes:

    Protein pancakes with chocolate chips

    Chocolate Milkshake (Water + 1.5 Scoops Whey Protein Isolate + Glutamine).

The total calorie intake per day was:

    Caloric content - 4120

    Protein - 264 g.

    Carbohydrates - 500 g.

    Fat - 120 g.

Chris Bumstead's macronutrients matched his desired range and easily hit his daily protein goal. If he stays on track and continues to progress, there is no denying that it will be difficult for anyone to beat him at the 2022 Mr.Olympia.

Bodybuilding Body Types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

Which Type Do You Belong to? Human genetics determine many of the inherent characteristics that we are born with and cannot be changed later in life. However, through regular training and exercise, it is possible to overcome some of the limitations imposed by our genes. In 1940, William Sheldon introduced three distinct body types in his work "The Varieties of Human Physique", which is still used in medicine, science, and sports today. These three body types are known as ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. However, it is important to note that these body types are generalizations and not everyone will fit neatly into one category, as most people are a combination of these body types, with only some aspects of each present in their overall physique.

The True Story of the Mysterious Case with Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan with Documentary

In the United States, there is still great interest in the case involving Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan. In fact, the interest in the case appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. A book titled "The Flame in the Desert: The True Story of the Mysterious Case of Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan," written by Glenn Puitom, has recently been released and is being sold in bookstores throughout the country. It is worth noting that the author treated the bodybuilding community, as well as Craig and Kelly, with a high degree of respect. When writing the book, he did not base his conclusions on rumors, speculation, or other unverified information. Instead, he relied solely on police reports and analyzed their conclusions and assumptions. It is also worth mentioning that the author has a legal education. Based on the book's sales volumes, it appears to be becoming a bestseller in the United States and in other countries. A quick review of the case. In December 2005, a police patrol

Chris Bumstead Revealed the Sequence of Exercises for Back Progression

  Chris Bumstead discusses the back workout he employed during his 2020 Mr. Olympia training to enhance his form. As the Classic Physique champion last year, he exhibited considerable progress in his back muscles, but this season he aims to achieve even more significant results during the offseason, starting with this workout. The direction in which the classic physique division in bodybuilding is heading is worth discussing. Although this category is still relatively new, it has grown into one of the most exciting divisions in iron sports. Currently, the two-time champion Chris Bumstead sits on the throne. He won the title in 2019 after a heavily contested decision, but he silenced all doubts with his impressive look at Mr. Olympia 2020.  Chris embodies what is called the "classic physique," and he himself has explained why he believed that he won the title by right. However, his back problem was a significant complaint about the champion. But in 2020, Bumstead really improv

Gaining Weight Even Though Not Eating

 I frequently hear this complaint from people, but I don't buy it. It's just a lie. Even the ChatGPT is on my side. Check out this AI-fueled discussion on the issue. Me: I would like to discuss with you the body weight gain issue. People often Google "gaining weight even though not eating," but I don't buy into it. Sure, in extreme cases, someone with serious health issues, like kidney problems, might gain weight due to water retention. However, this is not sustainable, and without medical intervention, it could be fatal. There's also the scenario where certain medications cause water retention. But here's the thing. If the body isn't getting external energy (meaning no food intake), it has to tap into internal sources like fat reserves, glycogen, or the body's protein structures. Weight loss is inevitable. The notion of a survival mode, where metabolism slows down and the body tries to accumulate energy, doesn't apply when you're not eatin
