He has the striations, but that would be the only thing that he could get over Samson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WHO WILL GIVE SAMSON A RUN FOR HIS MONEY?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zuOjJ2LHRek?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>The Proof Could Be in the Posing at the 2025 Arnold Classic<\/h2>\n<p>Still, Lunsford wasn\u2019t the only contender in the frame this week. Observing his front double biceps pose, Sarcev says that Lunsford is \u201coff the chart\u201d and always \u201csuper competitive,\u201d but believes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/andrew-jacked-stuns-his-fans-with-insane-flexibility-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrew Jacked<\/a> has the better presentation with this pose. He does acknowledge that Samson is \u201cphenomenal\u201d however. So, it could be a toss-up, he concludes.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to poses like the side chest, Chris Cormier reveals that Lunsford has been switching things up to present the best possible package at this year\u2019s Arnold. The panel also praised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/brandon-currys-technique-for-performing-200-pound-dumbbell-rows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brandon Curry who has been showing a phenomenal physique in his recent social media<\/a> posts. \u201cGod bless Dennis for keeping up with these weekly Arnold picks,\u201d wrote one invested fan. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see Derek\u2019s new posing presentation,\u201d commented another. \u201cI hate to see these top guys that just can\u2019t seem to hit their mandatories correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>To listen to the full show, including the panels latest picks for the 2025 Arnold, and Cormier sharing a story of when he trained with Dorian Yates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zuOjJ2LHRek&amp;t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can access the full episode by clicking here!<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/how-can-derek-lunsford-get-past-samson-dauda\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Host Dennis James was joined by regular panel members Milos Sarcev and Chris Cormier for Episode 219 of\u00a0The Menace Podcast, and talk soon turned to how Derek Lunsord could give Samson Dauda a run for his money at the 2025 Arnold Classic.
