Tiny little man he is.

Not quite. Regardless, he still looks better than your 25% bodyfat, unknown lardass. ;)
Derik's an awesome bodybuilder.

Did you ever notice that nobody is 4" 11" ? That is because anybody within 4 inches of 5' says that they are 5'.
This guy is 5' with his stilts.

That dumbell is bigger than his torso LMAO :D

Yes you are right - contrary to what these jealous folk think :)
He is and always will be one of the very best bodybuilders out there!
Check out the latest Planet Muscle Mag for his Leg training routine.

Jealous of his height?

Lee is trying to get Derik to join the PDI so he won't be the shortest one on stage all the time!
Actually, Derik used to post here regularly 6 or 7 years ago when he was competing as an amateur and was very well respected by the members. He only became a punch line after he decided to compete on IFBB stages.
They should really stop giving pro cards to lightweights at Nationals... it leads to just this sort of thing. No pro cards below "Lt. Heavy" should be the rule. If you can't bulk up to at least the light heavyweight class, you really shouldn't be on a pro stage unless we're gonna institute weight classes in the IFBB, and I don't see that happening.

when you two go out to eat do they give you both booster chairs?

Thats exactly what should ahve been done years ago, it's only fair!
-
Bill Lawrence owns Derik....
-
Derik's got a good, balanced, natural physique but he suffers from the David Henry curse: he's just too short!
-

looks like he is holding baby rattles
-
Very good, but not even close to a pro
-
You guys are talking about a 3 Time Team Universe and USA National Champ. Height and weight don't matter. I believe he is a natural bb and that isn't a limiting factor on his physique. Many guys are 200lbs and up and aren't near as muscular and conditioned as he is. He is a GREAT bodybuilder.
-
Natural ? Are you kidding ? Put down the crack pipe
-
I like the details he got. a little too small in size though
-

NATURAL??? sure
Derek is always the last to know when its raining?
The guy is so short you can his feet in his drivers license picture

I'll put down mine after you....He was a Team Universe Champ AKA "The top NATURAL competition" ::)
-

And this has what to do with his talent as a bb.....? Exactly, nothing.

that was before he competed in any "real pro shows". Those are recent photos

You need to persue a different strategy than comedy. It's not your strong point. ;)
So Derik, short. So what? He's a better bodybuilder than you'll ever be. Follow basketball if your concern is with the height of other men.

you think that wasnt funny stuff??? damn...I thought it was good material.
My argument wasnt whether he is a good bodybuilder...it was whether or not he was natural. Besides, I rather be the worst bodybuilder in the world and be 6ft 2 than to be the best bodybuilder in the world and be under 5ft
-

Nope...He was with AST during the Team Universe years he is now with Instone in his pro career. One of those pictures show this. He is still the same physique wise if you look at his Team Universe pics. He said in an interview on bodybuilding.com website that he will remain natural even as an IFBB pro. Just type in his name under search.
-
They should go back to two divisions: "Tall" and "Dwarf"
-
Don't bag on Derik because he earned his pro card by rules of the IFBB.
I feel that only the overall champ at the Nationals should get their pro card....at most the top 2 as the USAs is done.
Until/if weight classes are incorporated at the pro level, the lighter/smaller competitors will always be looked down upon. ;)
I, for one, would rather have a physique like Deriks than other BIGGER/TALLER bodybuiders like say....Palumbo, Kamali, Fux, Titus, Gunther, Ruhl.......Ronnie the gut....

Good for you. Unfortunately for you, you're neither. ;) So you can "wish" all you want.
I just don't see the need to be an a-hole and insult the man because of his height, something none of us have any control over. Do you make fun of handicapped people? If your brother had some sort of handicap, would you be cool with people ridiculing him?

A short man decide upon a profession that is based SOLELY on looks. Of course people are going to comment on this. Do you ever see any 4'10" supermodels? If you did, you would see comments there too...
-
he's small.....Oh, and
SYNTHOL!

It's based solely on physique, not looks numbnuts. There have always been short bodybuilders, because its actually a genetic advantage to some extent when it comes to developing muscle thickness. So to equate it to a 4'10" supermodel is stupid. None has ever existed. ::)
A couple of great bodybuilders of Derik's height that come to mind are Danny Padilla and Thierry Pastel. Both had physiques that were amazing. You can knocking 'em, but they'd blow your sorry ass off the stage.
-
I am glad you laughed!
I chuckled as I typed it.
-
i would love to see how many of those keyboard experts could even do one shrug with those dumbells he might be short but watch him train he putts in 100%
-
Derik does look great and his wife Gina has a smokin' body too!

Like I said, very good BB but his diminutive frame is his shortfall; not his fault though...
