[@johanliebert7564]

I say, I'm proud to follow you Derek... I see in your eyes a person, a real person, a good guy with an amazing physique. This is what bodybuilding needs. Congratulation again champion, next year will be even better. Not everyone can understand how many sacrifices you made to bring this condition to Mr O, go from 212lbs to the Open with so much more muscle and in crazy condition. Enjoy the success brother, a hug from Italy.💪🏻🔥🇮🇹

If by "Up" you mean, down then yeah. There is no up for bodybuilders. It's only a quick peak and then a roller coaster ride back down to hell.

Congratulations brother I was rooting for you to win and am so proud of you. You are absolutely my new favorite bodybuilder and have been for about a month now when I watched one of your workout videos and you said somethings that really hit home for me because I have OCD and bad anxiety and your motivating words and actions really helped me get through some tough times. Thanks so much. Keep it going brother. Much love from Houston, TX.

Much love to you Derek, you looked incredible.

[@joshnobles23]

You became my favorite this weekend Derek! I hate the way they gave 5th, 4th and 3rd their roses, but then announced Hadi winning and pretty much gave Derek zero recognition. You handled it like a true gentleman. And I haven't seen you receive the respect you're due since that night. I think you looked as flawless as Hadi. If they'd given you the trophy, nobody would've been any more surprised. Way to go champ!

[@sm3freestyle349]

You must be proud about yourself and your wife. Next year i m sure that will be THE year. Congrats champ and thanks for these emotions ❤️
