I KNOW WHO I AM | DEREK LUNSFORD | ROAD TO MR OLYMPIA MOTIVATION 2025

Born May 14, 1993, in Petersburg, Indiana, Lunsford rose from high school wrestling and soccer to become one of the sport’s most dynamic figures. He burst onto the amateur scene in 2015, winning premier NPC competitions, then secured his IFBB pro card in 2017 by becoming Mr. USA. Besides racking up trophies, Derek is a fan-favorite. He’s known for dynamic guest appearances, engaging directly with audiences, and cultivating a genuine coach-and-fan rapport—so much so that bodybuilding legends like Ronnie Coleman call him today’s most exciting pro. Now based in Tampa, Florida, Derek lives with his wife Jhelsin and daughter Evie, and in early 2025 they’re launching their own private training gym, Champs Elysium. He also remains a motivational public figure—building community, sharing mindset insights, and redefining what it means to be a modern champion.
