Chris Bumstead, the three-time Classic Physique Mr. Olympia, goes for number four next month. He recently posted a champion mentality video with an inspirational monologue about focusing on the journey and not the destination. Bumstead is always good for a motivational quote, whether on bodybuilding’s biggest stage after winning a Classic Olympia title or in the gym alone, endeavoring to be better today than yesterday.
‘What I found is that winning doesn’t happen on show day. It happens in early mornings, painful workouts, long cardio sessions, and hungry nights. It happens in those moments of fear we all have when faced with a difficult goal and then more so what you make of that fear. It happens in every second of every day before you win. If you can take every opportunity that you have to bring yourself closer to your goal, win every one of those opportunities, all while becoming more resilient in the process, how can you lose? That is an exciting opportunity, an exciting responsibility to find out what you’re truly capable of.”
