Derek Lunsford: 212 Olympia Heir Apparent?

[SF1900]

These guys are like little toys. Such tiny little guys. If you’re under 5’10 you shouldn’t be this muscular, such a funny look.

For some strange reason, the shorter bodybuilders today look odd.

Although Lee Priest is 5'4", he still pulled it off. Lee never looked odd like the guys of today.

Look at those sexy homoerotic poses

By himself. Now let’s see him standing next to a normal guy that’s 6’0 tall

Well, I am saying their general look whether standing alone or next to someone.

The guys of today just have an odd shape to them. Maybe too many drugs or they look too bloated or likely both.  It's just a more weird appearance these days, standing alone or next to someone.

Ya he does look good there. Not much bloat.

Mike Mentzer and Casey Viator were 5'8 and had a thick and powerful look, perhaps because they had a relatively narrow waist.

Derek has a good taper compared to most today (outside of classic).  There are some other guys too with smaller waists.

[dj181]

Nope. Big but very ugly frame. Midget. He's not a top guy.

Modern day bb IS NOT abour aesthetics chief

When this guys qualifies for the Olympia, then Flex will have his hands full.

Top 2 pics are probably from 2017. That last one I believe was from a few years earlier when he was a middle

I think your right he looks bigger in the stage pics.

Lee looked very odd with his long waist and midget legs, which is why he isn't one of the greatest, regardless of him having one of the best arms ever etc. Midgets just look fucked up with their big heads and odd proportions.

Yeah but they still looked better when compared to the shorter bodybuilders of today.

I’m not doubting that, on average, shorter bodybuilders don’t look as good as taller bodybuilders. You’re comparing apples to oranges.

I’m saying that in general, the shorter bodybuilders of the past look better than the shorter bodybuilders of today.

Of course, when all things considered, a taller bodybuilder will always look better than a shorter bodybuilder.

But that’s not the argument I’m making.

IMO Lee Priest  looked way than today's 212 guys.

There is a limit, probably 6'1-2, or else they will look lanky.

Now that pics and video of the Portugal Pro are out, my only knock on Nicolas Vullioud is that his structure looks kind of strange from the back, almost like he suffers from a mild form of dwarfism.

From the front, Nicolas kind of reminds of Matt Mendenhall in his hands on hips most muscular.  Unfortunately, from the back he doesn't stack up to the best of the best.
