Mr. Olympia champ Derek Lunsford is just 8 weeks out and gave fans a full behind-the-scenes look at his prep diet, hydration, and training.
He started the day with his go-to bison and rice breakfast, explaining why he avoids eggs and chicken in the morning for better digestion. Derek also shared two ways he makes his hydration drink—either fresh lemon water with salt or a convenient RTD electrolyte mix. He stressed the importance of iodized salt for thyroid health and keeping sodium consistent through prep.
Supplements remain locked in: immune support, multivitamin, fish oil, vitamin D, and liver support—showing his emphasis on internal health first, physique second.
Meals were prepped for the day with variety in proteins—bison, salmon, chicken, cod, and shrimp—to keep digestion smooth and diet interesting. MegaFit Meals were a big help for convenience, with Derek even dropping a pro tip on low-calorie sauces to keep food enjoyable during prep.
On the training side, it was arms and calves day. Derek powered through a long session, pushing past fatigue with the mindset of making history in 8 weeks. He wrapped up with his classic post-workout protein shake and bananas (thanks to a quick gas station stop).
The energy is all-in: long workouts, structured meals, and a champion’s mentality. Derek closed by reminding fans he’s putting out consistent content leading into the Olympia—and that he’s fully locked in to defend his title.
