The 2026 Mr. Olympia is approaching fast, and elite competitors are preparing their physiques for war. In an August 7 video, Derek Lunsford<\/a> pushed Ramon Dino and Matt Greggo through a brutal push day workout less than seven weeks before competing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Lunsford was out for vengeance after losing his Mr. Olympia title in 2024. His first stop was the 2025 Arnold Classic, where he edged out Samson Dauda<\/a> to claim gold. From there, Lunsford began to map out his \u2018Triple Crown\u2019 goal. This meant winning the Arnold Classic<\/a>, Pittsburgh Pro<\/a>, and Mr. Olympia in the same calendar year.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a nail-biter contest, Lunsford narrowly beat Nick Walker<\/a> in Pittsburgh. Then, he completed his goal after recapturing the Sandow trophy against Choopan and Andrew Jacked<\/a> (Chinedu Andrew Obiekea) last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in Classic Physique, Ramon Dino<\/a> has the biggest target on his back. In a close showdown, he beat Mike Sommerfeld<\/a> at the last Olympia and has maintained a lean physique year-round. As for Greggo, he\u2019s on track to compete at the prestigious event. His Chicago Pro<\/a> victory has him tied for 20th in the point standings, with the top 25 earning Olympia entries. Fortunately, he\u2019s training with elite-caliber talent before stepping back onstage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
