Is CBUM Retiring?
Bumstead has previously discussed retirement, but he has recently changed his tone and taken a different approach. During a recent interview with Muscular Development Magazine, Chris Bumstead was asked about his retirement. He admitted that he does not have a timetable for his career.
"You talked a couple years ago about retiring by 30… You've got a good handle on your health now. Three titles already. You're still only 27. Do you still think 'I need to retire by this with this many titles' or is it more year-by-year?" Bumstead was asked.
"I'M DEFINITELY TAKING IT MORE YEAR-BY-YEAR, FOR SURE. I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE FOOLISH TO TRY AND PREDICT THE DAY THAT I WOULD BE READY TO BE DONE. I THINK IT'S MORE SOMETHING NOW, WHERE I'M MORE GENUINELY, MY ANSWER ALWAYS IS 'I WANT ONE MORE OLYMPIA.' SO PEOPLE WILL SAY 'OH, SO YOU'RE DONE THIS YEAR?' AND I'M LIKE 'NO. I JUST WANT ONE MORE.'"
THEN DEPENDING ON HOW THIS YEAR GOES AND I FEEL, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, AND AFTERWARDS, IF I'M EXCITED AND HUNGRY FOR MORE, I'M GOING TO DO ANOTHER. IF I DON'T, I WON'T," BUMSTEAD Said.
