4 key tips for stimulating muscle growth according to Derek Lunsford

In just a few weeks, the next edition of the Arnold Classic will take place, and Derek Lunsford was invited, but he declined the invitation and explained it to his fans as follows:

"I feel it's a decision I can't make alone, but with my wife, because there's a lot of money involved. For me as a professional who loves this sport, the Arnold Classic is a prestigious title. I had the full support of my wife in whatever direction I wanted to go. But her main condition was that she wanted me to be healthy. That always came first for her. I started thinking about the Arnold Classic title, a lot of money with only a few months to go. But then I started thinking about what our ultimate goal was. The ultimate goal is to be Mr. Olympia and build the absolute best physique I can while maintaining my current health."

Derek came in second place at last year's Olympia, so it's clear that this year he will be looking to win the title and become the king of bodybuilding.
