Derek Lunsford 10 Weeks Out – Shoulders, Calves & Chest at the New Gym

Fresh off a brutal leg day with training partner Pasho, Derek Lunsford is now 10 weeks out from the Mr. Olympia and still pushing through intense sessions. With Pasho in town for the Tampa Pro, the energy in the gym is high — and the gym itself is just days away from officially opening. Derek talks about the final touches, including lighting, turf space, and new equipment arriving throughout the year to keep the facility evolving.

The workout starts with calves — one plate feels light, two plates good, three plates heavy — before moving into a high-volume shoulder session. Derek mixes heavy presses, front raises, side raise variations, rear delt work, and even constant-tension cable/dumbbell combos. He sprinkles in some chest work for extra pump, keeping intensity high with supersets and extended reps under Pasho’s watchful eye.

Between sets, Derek shares insight into training philosophy — the importance of a coach or partner not just for accountability, but for pushing you past your own mental and physical limits. He praises Pasho for knowing when to push for “one more set” and when to call it, and Chris for dialing in nutrition — sometimes telling him to rest and eat more when he thinks he needs to cut and do more cardio, and vice versa.

Derek admits he’s in that “skinny fat” in-between phase where he’s neither full nor shredded, but knows the next few weeks will bring major changes. He stays confident in the process, highlighting how the right team keeps him on track, stronger, and more focused as Olympia prep heats up.

By the end, it’s clear — between relentless training, calculated guidance, and a soon-to-open dream gym, Derek is locked in for a serious Olympia push.

Derek Lunsford 10 Weeks Out – Leg & Chest Sessions + Tampa Pro Recap

Derek Lunsford takes us through a packed couple of days — balancing Tampa Pro appearances, welcoming athletes to his new “Champions Paradise” gym, and grinding through two separate workouts just 10 weeks out from the Mr. Olympia.

After attending the Tampa Pro, Derek gives props to Tim Gardner for running a stacked show and breaks down the Open class battle between Quinton “Beastwood” and Jordan Hutchinson. While Quinton’s tall, aesthetic frame impressed, Derek’s eye gave the edge to Jordan’s dense, hard, and shredded look. Finals proved him right — Jordan took the win.

At the gym, Derek walks viewers through his state-of-the-art setup — double stations for key machines, specialized glute equipment for wellness and bikini competitors, and enough variety to ensure no one waits for a machine during prep. Memberships will be capped for comfort, and lighting is fully adjustable for posing or events.

Leg Day with Pasho:
  • Starts with controlled pump work before loading up to full-stack sets
  • “One more, two more, three more” is the Pasho trademark, pushing past mental limits
  • Heavy, high-rep sets on leg press, squats, and isolations
  • Bananas + pre-workout = the “secret” pump formula (medium-sized only, according to Derek)
Chest Day Follow-Up:
  • Focus on improving fullness and strength while staying in the prep groove
  • Supersets, partials, and constant tension reps to burn out the chest
  • Shoulders and calves get attention too — because “you can’t skip calves”
  • Derek notes chest progress since the Arnold, confident he’ll bring his best ever package to Olympia
Despite fatigue from travel, events, and late-night sessions, Derek pushes through both workouts. The energy in the gym is high, with visiting athletes, friends from Brazil, and supportive fans creating the perfect environment for Olympia prep. For Derek, the mission is clear — stay consistent, keep improving, and peak better than ever on the sport’s biggest stage.
