What Chris Bumstead's Retirement Taught Him About Strength, Health, and Playing the Long Game
One thing most retired athletes can agree on? It's brutally hard to accept that their playing days are over. While many go on to do something adjacent—coaching, commentary, business—nothing compares to the roar of the crowd or the adrenaline of stepping on the field or stage. It happens to all of us eventually (well, everyone except maybe Tom Brady), but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow. The truth is, our bodies start to decline, priorities shift, and injuries become more frequent, a reality six-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead knows all too well. Last year, Bumstead surprised fans and judges when he announced his retirement at just 30 years old. With the birth of his daughter and a nagging shoulder injury keeping him out of the gym, he's shifting his focus. Now, it's all about playing the long game, staying healthy and strong so he can chase his kids around for years to come."I've started shifting toward a mix of athletic and functional training," he told Men's Journal. "I want to be able to do things like sprint, jump, and maybe even play basketball again. That's partly for me, but also for the future, so I can run around and play sports with my kids." But don't let his focus on longevity fool you, Bumstead still wants to be an absolute animal in the gym. And honestly, who can blame him? If you were one of the most jacked guys to ever walk across the Olympia stage, you'd want to stay that way, too. "At the same time, I still love bodybuilding and hypertrophy, so I'm keeping that in the mix," he adds. "The mix is just more balanced now. I have new goals, and I'm excited to train with that kind of purpose in mind. The goal is to be a 'jacklete,' both jacked and athletic." For most of the past two decades (he started bodybuilding at just 14), Bumstead's focus was all about getting as big and shredded as possible. But since retiring, he's shifted gears. These days, it's less about chasing aesthetics or moving huge weight (though that still plays a role) and more about keeping his body healthy. "It's about training smart, taking de-loads, knowing when to pull back, and prioritizing the stuff you don't always want to do–mobility, stretching, isometrics, injury prevention, all of it," he says. "Right now, I'm doing a lot of rotator cuff work for my shoulder and stuff to help stabilize my knees. It's definitely not the glamorous side of training, but it's the work you need to put in to stay in the game long-term." He's also not living in the gym like he once was. While he's still training regularly, he's now focused on becoming a better all-around athlete, not just a bodybuilder. "With my intention of becoming more athletic, I need to do a lot more remedial structural balance work, such as training my tendons, mobility, etc," he says. "I have also started doing more light cardio, like bike rides outdoors and hikes when I get the chance to focus more on my cardiovascular health."

Ex-NFL QB Jay Cutler sparks outrage during South Africa hunting trip
Ex-NFL star Jay Cutler sparked outrage after posting photos on Instagram of an endangered animal that he'd killed. The photos show a smiling Cutler crouching over a dead giant sable antelope — a massive hoofed mammal known for its large, curved horns. 'Kicked off the Africa hunt with a beauty. Sable down,' the first post reads. Another post included a video montage of the hunt and Cutler shooting the animal. Cutler uploaded more pictures of a seemingly dead antelope on Monday with the caption 'Another great day.' While some commenters congratulated Cutler, and noted the meat from the animals tends to be donated to locals, the trophy hunting got some criticism too. 'Wow, Jay you killed a wild animal in a place it's rarely hunted and it had zero idea you were a threat,' one Instagram user commented on the first post. 'Super impressive.' 'I went to Africa on a safari and saw the most incredible wildlife and never once thought about murdering them,' another wrote. The giant sable antelope, which is considered critically endangered and nearly extinct, was considered 'rare and impressive animal' in its native Angola, according to the Carnegie Museum of Natural history. 'Never numerous, today the Giant Sable is critically endangered, threatened by habitat loss, civil war, and poachers. Active conservation efforts continue, but population estimates indicate there are less than a hundred mature individuals,' the museum's website reads. However, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources' Red List, which tracks species, classifies the giant sable antelope as 'stable' overall. While Cutler's hunting appears perfectly legal, he's run into trouble in the past. He was arrested for DUI and gun possession in Tennessee last October. Cutler, 42, played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins.

The 3-Lift Leg Day 6x Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead Swears by for Unbreakable Strength
If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that six-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead has massive legs. Well, he really has massive everything, but he's especially known for his ridiculously developed quads—thanks, in part, to intense training inspired by legendary lifters like Tom Platz. If you've ever paid attention to Bumstead's workouts, you've probably noticed he doesn't waste time with the wild, overcomplicated exercises fitness influencers claim will blow up your legs in two weeks. Instead, he sticks to what works: heavy lifting, tons of volume, and classic compound movements that build overall muscle. And even though he's currently taking a break from the Olympia stage, he's still grinding just as hard in the gym. In a recent video, he broke down the three key moves he adds to leg day to keep his lower half big, balanced, and brutally strong. Step onto a platform that has a belt attachment. Securely fasten the belt around your hips, attaching it to the loading pin beneath you. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed slightly outward. Engage your core, keep your chest up, and push your hips back as you lower into a squat. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor (or slightly below, if mobility allows), making sure your knees track over your toes. Drive through your heels to return to standing, keeping tension in your legs the whole time. That's 1 rep. Position the safety squat bar on your upper back and shoulders, allowing the padded arms to rest comfortably across your traps. Unrack the bar and take a controlled step back from the rack, standing tall with your feet hip-width apart. Step forward with one leg, bending both knees to lower your back knee toward the ground. Aim for a 90-degree angle in both knees, keeping your front knee in line with your ankle. Keep your torso upright throughout, engaging your core to avoid leaning forward. Push through your front heel to rise and return your stepping leg to the starting position. That's 1 rep. Alternate legs with each step. You can do forward lunges or reverse lunges. Start by adjusting the glute hamstring machine so your thighs rest on the pad and your knees are just off the edge. Anchor your feet securely against the footplate. Hold a weight plate close to your chest with both hands. Begin in a kneeling position with your torso upright and glutes engaged. Extend at the knees, keeping your core tight and back flat while lowering yourself. Once your torso is near-parallel to the floor (or just before you lose control), contract your hamstrings and glutes to pull yourself back up to the starting position. That's 1 rep.
