Derek Lunsford and Nick Walker Lead 2026 Mr. Olympia Prejudging in a Four-Man Race for Gold
Our read on Friday's Men's Open prejudging: Derek Lunsford and Nick Walker spent the most time center stage, with Samson Dauda and Andrew Jacked beside them in the final callout. Two kinds of physique met there, Dauda and Jacked taller with bigger muscle bellies, Lunsford and Walker stockier and winning on density and dry conditioning.
For tonight, Lunsford's job is to hold on and come in slightly tighter, and Walker needs to repeat the package he brought to prejudging. Jacked and Dauda could use more fullness from the back to make a play for gold.
