Dave Palumbo reacts to 2023 Mr. Olympia and reigning Arnold Classic champion, Derek Lunsford, making the big announcement that he's going to be competing at the 2025 Pittsburgh - in its first ever pro open class competition.
Derek Lunsford is aiming to make bodybuilding history by winning three major titles—the Arnold Classic, Pittsburgh Pro, and Mr. Olympia—all in the same year, a feat never accomplished before. After recently winning the Arnold Classic and taking home a substantial prize, Derek announced he’s committed to competing in the Pittsburgh Pro in May. Despite concerns that competing so frequently could affect his Olympia preparation, Derek appears confident and determined. Winning all three would net him over a million dollars and cement his legacy. Dave Palumbo speculates that Derek is in excellent condition to dominate the Pittsburgh Pro, posing a significant threat to competitors like Nick Walker. However, Palumbo also raises concerns about whether Derek can sustain peak form into October’s Olympia, given his demanding competition schedule. The stakes are high, but Derek seems poised for an unprecedented run that could establish a new benchmark in bodybuilding—possibly introducing a "Grand Slam" concept in the sport.
