Derek was way too watery and there was no loose tension at all!

[@merovech7]

Bro the camera man is a such an incredible person. You can tell he cares about you so much - he encourages you, shows you to the world is best possible way. You're so blessed to have such friendships

[@millennial9252]

I keep saying on these videos, the guy is so humble, thankful and down right a good guy. So happy for you on this journey. What a year you and your wife are having. Nothing but continued success and health. Looking forward to see you become a Dad. You have the DNA to be a tremendous father. Congrats again Derek!

[@sarallima7636]

Derek is my favourite now🏆💪

[@guilhermemarques5770]

I watched the whole journey this year and i cant be more happy for you and your wife . I know i dont know you personally but it gets me emotionally every time i see the clip announcing your name as the new champ. Ty for inspiring us

[@Allhavengames]

thats how it was for me and Nick Walker, I followed his whole journey and then he had to pull out of Olympia, so I checked out Derek and then I kinda felt bad because I was starting to want him to win over Nick, hes just such a good guy its hard not to root for him

I've run into Derek a few times at a show in St. Louis, and he's so down to earth, makes time for everyone, and I can't think of a better ambassador for open bodybuilding.

[@Richiebigdaddy]

Absolutely, dude is a class act

[@ryand8551]

Big CONGRATULATIONS Derek! I may not be there at the convention but I was glued at the ppv so I can say I am part of the history. You are such an inspiration! To God Be The Glory!

[@michaeledwards1644]

Do you think he could beat Dennis Wolf back in 2013?

[@BaasWiel]

Congrats Champ! Your a hell of a man and great ambassador for the sport! Wishing you years of success!

[@daryllalmeida6234]

My favourite bodybuilder of all time not just for his workouts but mainly because of the words you spoke during your prep. That literally motivates me to do better everyday. I hope you stay the same and never let pride get to you. Let’s that get 2nd O next year!!!!!!!

[@MohanadYakout]

The part where he walks out off stage and still cannot believe "what just happened" after years of hard work is truly the most inspiring thing I've ever seen!!! Looking forward to many years of this humble good guy winning the title again and again!

[@irwinvasquez9858]

I bet he's feeling depleted. The grind these guys go through is unreal. Love that he puts the Lord first. What a warrior for Christ. 🙏🏻 Edit: Just have to add seeing Derek staying in communication with the Lord you can see the Lord's grace shining on him. Hearing his testimony in the video is so inspiring. Derek's faith is infectious.

[@Psychedelic430]

This is why certain people hate him from the first place because he has faith.

[@teknoaija1762]

You really think the lord is blessing him while he’s literally going against the lords word by doing illegal shit to win a bodybuilding show? Give me a break. There are so many contradictories in this and you brainwashed dorks can’t even see it. I guess having faith doesn’t necessarily give you critical thinking or common sense, huh?

[@ilkersahin6200]

So epic time for me when I see you with Roman Fritz. I watched your training videos with Roman as I watched all Animal athletes videos my first years of bodybuilding. And now I see your process, it’s inspiring man. Keep pushing forward and be a legend like Phil Heath, Jay Cutler. You definitely deserved that 🥇

[@AlesLamkaFitness]

Congrats Derek, you ARE the champ .. you deserve it

[@TheMICHIGANSFINEST42]

I've seen a lot of motivational videos over the years on KZbin and wow this one is top notch!!! The positivety is unreal and motivation. This needs to go in the bodybuilding hall of fame for ppl to look at for centuries!! Congratulations champ!!! ✌🏾💪🏾

[@ethanbecker1578]

So glad to have met and talked to you at the Arnold. Got to the front of your line at the meet&greet before you had to go tan so couldn’t talk to you again but hope some day to get a conversation with post-Olympia winning Derek

It also shows why you will be such a great ambassador for the sport. You’ve done more for Mr. Olympia in less than a week than other champions have done in the past three years combined.

[@bolen7071]

I actually can't believe there is a controversy about Derek winning this he deserved this win 100% Hadi deserved a close second but not first place I actually can't believe people are mad about that. In the sport of bodybuilding religion and ethnicity does not matter Derek just brought a better package.

[@zeropoopsgiven231]

I had Hadi winning the show. I was pulling for Derek but Hadi was to good from the front. Derek great from behind. Derek was just to soft in the chest shoulders and arms. Not to mention the unsightly lumps in the lats. It was close but I had Hadi as the champ.

[@marksigafoos1112]

I resonate heavy with just being some “kid” who fell in love with the gym and I love how you’ve used this platform to inspire others to not only commit themselves to their goals but to commit themselves to being the best person they can. I’m not the most religious person myself but the way that you incorporate your faith into everything you do is quite admirable.

[@sonurkanojiya]

Dont know why but this guy is going to break all the records in the history of bodybuilding ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥 so much love and power to you Derek

[@Iam18]

this is my first time seeing derek outside of the olympia, i never seen him on social media before. dude looks mad peeled. its like what people say, pro bodybuilders look way better off stage than when they are on stage. the casual dry peeled look is awesome + seeing him just sit and walk around shows his massive lats in different positions. grats on the win!

[@garrydhamot8531]

How miserable did Hadi have to be to not even come for a group photo afterwards and just leave the stage like that and disrespect the champ "Derek Lunsford". He is such a bad sport, just like how "Thore Bjornson acted when he lost to "Eddie Hall" in 2017 but the previous year Thor won and Eddie not only congratulated him, and hyped him but he also did a strong man ritual of tearing his T-shirt off. Year 2022 when Hadi won, Derek congratulated him, did he a group photoshoot with Hany, Hadi and Chris and he never acted like he was the more deserving person.
