"If you don't get what you want, it's not because He doesn't want to bless us, but because He is protecting us." Words I needed to hear again. Thanks Derek.
Honestly, I am so glad there are competitors such as Derek to bring back the greatness of Mr. Olympia. This guy is gonna win it this year and if he wants to, he will stay on the top for several years, mark my words. Amazing, really amazing..
Thank you SO MUCH Derek for keeping your faith present on each video. It is something that is lost on alot of people. Just staying joyful and present! #1!!
Keep the beard! The improvements are there. The hunger is there. The support is there. This is YOUR year, Derek. Every set, every rep, every moment counts. Let’s get it Champ!
Dear Derek, for two weeks now I came across your channel and love it and subscribed 👍🏾I am fascinated by your Physique and how you get more shredded week for week 😊 I workout too but not in that realm but since I am 15 am in Love with Bodybuilding, it was the time when Lee Haney won his 8 th Mr.Olympia Title. And through your Videos I can kinda live the Sport through someone else and keep being Motivated to reach my Goals. I came to the Conclusion that you will be on Top this Mr.Olympia and checked if you competed last year and where you landed and it was 2nd Place 👌🏾 When I saw you without Beard I thought you should keep it this time and now in this Video you asked this Question 😂 So my answer is already given and hope you get the Trophy , you really deserve it and thanks for Posting and for your Explanations and good Character 🫡 Greetings from Germany, Chris
Man you look good Bro. The view from behind when you sitting down is ridiculous. Back and shoulders are so on point. Real talk when you first took the cover off I was like he ready. Great job. Can’t wait to the Olympia. Next year I am going and hope to meet you.
Thank you for the message after the 25min mark. I definitely needed to hear that this morning 🙏🏼 Keep striving for greatness. God Is Love 1 John 4:7-21
first comment to your channel, I've been impressed from the first minute I heard about you, love the content, love the workouts, and the positive message you always have in every video. Most of all, your commitment to God has reaffirmed my belief in God, and you've really helped shine that beacon of light back into my life, we are stronger together with the Lord on our side. I keep you in my prayers to stay safe, healthy, and strong through this prep and even beyond that. 🙏 Also Keep the Beard!
🙌That was one of the best messages out of all the videos! Derek I think I know what you’re gonna be called to do full time when you retire from bodybuilding.
Even when you’re flat from prep, there’s still shock and awe every time I see your physique improvements. Mr. O 2023. God speed brother 👊🏽 No beard for the Olympia.
Keep the beard!! But also just do whatever you’re comfortable with, because at the end of the day it’s only you on stage and that comfort is confidence🙌
Bro, you’re preaching right now! Thank you! God is truly partnering with you, and I know that because I needed to hear what you said about calling and purpose. Stay blessed bro!
Beard. Honestly I'm a fan of the clean look (since i think it helps with the illusion onstage), but after seeing your front lat spread, it looks great WITH the beard. So, definitely keep it. It's a statement! Love that you use your platform to glorify God. Simply impressed! Also, impressed that you're dropping knowledge every video! I'm gonna hafta check out the elbow wraps to soften this elbow pain! Great editing and video work! I simply love this quality content!
Derrick you truly are a legend I love listening to your teachings on god, like I’m not overly religious but it’s defiantly opening me up to more understanding in my life, Thankyou
Hey Derek great job as always man this is your year. I definitely understand what your saying as far as clean cut and being professional but the facts are it’s a totally new age now man I’d lighten it up and keep it sharp but ultimately KEEP THE BEARD BRO! let’s go!!!
Great content, positive energy pouring in and I like it, many Blessings to you and yours Derek! And my vote would be to cut the beard, come in razor sharp looking fresh to be crowned Mr. O, good luck to brotha!
67 years young said, a young old wise man said, you now have transformed into a much improved champion. With the beard the transformation is complete. Showing the judges a complete much improved package. KEEP THE BEARD
Bro, I made a deal that I am growing out the beard till the end of the year as well! I’m saying, let’s go for beard! Beard or no beard God is on your side and you are surely going to shock the world! Your ministry through these videos are just as amazing as you are. Keep him first and you will be too God willing regardless of placing. But man you are going to be hard to compare too. Let’s go!❤🙏🔥
Definitely keep the beard my dude. Papa Lunsford needs a beard. Sooo excited for the Olympia this year. This will be the year you make history of 2x champ🏆. You got this ❤
