Chris Bumstead eats around 5200kcal a day!

Three-time Olympia Classic Physique division champion Chris Bumstead is fully focused on the most prestigious bodybuilding competition of the year, which will be held December 16-18 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite winning the last three editions of the Olympia, Chris is looking to get better every year.

In his preparation for the Olympics, Chris is including sauna and ice baths, which he says are supposed to help with his recovery and overall health.

I haven't always loved the extreme heat, but the sauna always feels damn good. It helps facilitate stretching, relieves tension headaches and is a great way to detox. I haven't always liked colds either, but I've definitely learned to love ice baths because they help reduce overall inflammation, which is great for my autoimmune and overall health. When used alone they are both amazing, but together their benefits just stack on top of each other, such as aiding circulation/blood flow leading to better heart health, reducing stress in the body, muscle recovery, and more.
