Derek Lunsford is going for the title! Last back training before the 2023 Olympics

Derek Lunsford shares his final back workout in preparation for the 2023 Olympia. We're in the middle of the final week before the 2023 Olympia and all the athletes are gearing up for the fierce battle that awaits them this weekend. Lunsford shared the workout on his YouTube channel to update fans on his journey.

Derek Lunsford is one of the youngest and most dynamic competitors in the Open division of the IFBB professional league. In a short period of time, he has earned his place among the top of the division. Lunsford has competed in the 212 division for most of his professional bodybuilding career and rose to the top when he became the 212 Olympia champion in 2021. With his strong podium presence, Lunsford looked like someone who could repeat the dominance of former seven-time 212 Olympia champion Flex Lewis. Surprisingly, however, he moved up to the Open division after Olympia management accepted his request to compete in that division at the 2022 Olympia. The 30-year-old dominated the podium, finishing second.

After establishing himself as the top competitor in the Men's Open division, Lunsford is now aiming to become the first ever champion of two Olympia divisions in the sport's history.

Lunsford is favored to finish in the top two at the 2023 Olympia. Although he has made rapid progress over the past year, Lunsford admits that the preparation has been challenging for him. Many experts believe that Derek Lunsford can dethrone Hadi Choopan due to his hard chest strength and quadriceps development. Recent updates on his physical fitness show that he has made huge improvements in these areas.

"I'm telling you, we're not letting up! Two more training sessions and we're done! Three days until the race, and give it a hundred percent all the time... No quitting, baby!", Lunsford declares during his last back workout.
