“That’s crazy. Yeah, I know right. Literally, every time he moves, I notice a new muscle in his body. He has like three biceps,” Beast said. “His back is at least 30 muscles.”
When MrBeast inquired about the time needed for his friend to develop a comparable level of mass to Lunsford, the Mr. Olympia responded with the following:
“How many years would it take Nolan to get a physique like that?” asks MrBeast.
“I’ve been training my whole life man. I started when I was 15. I’m 30. So, 15 years,” said Lunsford. “When I first started [in bodybuilding] well when I went to the gym for the first time I weighed 112 pounds.”
Regarding body fat percentages, Lunsford noted that bodybuilders usually don’t go below 3%.
“That’s wild [Derek’s back double bicep,” said Beast. “What’s his body fat percentage right now?”
“I would say about 3% is roughly about what people will get. Then you dry out. So, trying to get as low as possible man. You gotta think, you gotta keep the size of the muscle too especially being an Open bodybuilder.
Trying to keep the size of the muscle, the shape of the aesthetics, along with the cuts and the details. There’s judging criteria. So, shape, symmetry, conditioning, hardness, fullness, graininess, all this and posing, presentation, so all of it goes into play.”
Finally, Lunsford praised MrBeast for the dedication evident in his recent physique transformation.
