However, people were more stunned by Bumstead’s Static hold technique. His approach towards this exercise made the bodybuilder look extremely stationary as he slowly lifted the heavyweights. This isometric muscle contraction does not allow any movement in the body but lets the muscles contract and is extremely beneficial for muscle fiber activation which in turn helps in building better strength and endurance.

When fans saw the video clip, they began to question whether they were experiencing a glitch on their end or if it was truly Chris Bumstead flawlessly executing the movement.
