I want to be better Mr. Olympia I want to enjoy it more I want to enjoy the journey to be more present and it always

brings you back to your childhood I pulled up a picture of me as a kid but I remember looking at it

backstage like before getting on and just starting to cry a little bit I mean like if that kid could have imagined being me right now you know?

You know?

He is your ring defending five-time Olympic champion.

He could hear the crowd go wild.

When I won my first Olympia, all I felt was relief that it was over.

I didn't really feel joy and

happiness and all these things because there was a lot of stress around the

Olympia that I was just suppressing. Wow. All these fears are in my brain

right now and I never even let them come up and think about them.

I just put them down.

You never spoke about it. Never spoke about it. And just letting that out, I just like immediately felt better.

But what people don't realize is that like when you feel that pain, that shame and insecurity, that is that that little boy it's the same person there

you know wow man this is powerful I'm so happy that you're having this conversation right now

welcome back everyone to the school of greatness very excited about a guest the inspiring Chris

Bumstead in the house my man what's going on see you man happy to be here very excited

about this and the thing that I'm excited the most to talk about is the first thing you said when we

Embraced and hugged each other within a few moments you said that you just got off a therapy call yeah with your wife and I was just like this I love this

7 a.m therapy call I was like what 7 a.m. therapy call we're here in Vegas and

I was just like I was so happy to hear this one because I've been doing therapy for years.

Yeah. And when I talk about therapy with people I really look at it as emotional coaching.
