Derek Lunsford went from 212 Olympia champion to nearly winning the Mr. Olympia the next year. Derek knows how to stimulate and build muscle, plain and simple. Here, we catch up with Derek in Tampa at MI40 as he starts his push and prep for this year's Olympia.
When watching Derek execute his training, it is obvious that he has mastered keeping the tension in the muscle and making the target muscle move and contract vs prioritizing lifting from A to B in a manner that won't yield the stimulation needed. He really is a master of the mind-muscle connection and explains a few of those cues that have built his leg development to date.
