"There are no easy workouts" - Ronnie Coleman teases new workout video with Derek Lunsford

Several years may have passed by but the legacy left behind by Ronnie Coleman in the sport of bodybuilding is unmatched. He won a record eight consecutive Mr. Olympia titles in his professional bodybuilding career.

His Mr. Olympia title count is only matched by Lee Haney. Ronnie Coleman's final Mr. Olympia competitive appearance was way back in 2007 but his dominant physique is still spoken about even so many years after his last competitive appearance.

Now several new and upcoming bodybuilders are taking center stage in the sport of bodybuilding and one such bodybuilder is Derek Lunsford. Competing in the 212 Olympia in 2021, he was crowned the champion of the 212 division. With Derek receiving a special invitation to compete in the Men's Open division of the 2022 Mr. Olympia, what followed was special.

Having accepted the invite, Derek Lunsford made his debut in the Open division of Mr. Olympia and finished higher than the two-time Mr. Olympia champion Big Ramy. Lunsford finished in second place behind the 2022 Mr. Olympia Champion Hadi Choopan.

In a recent post on Instagram, Ronnie Coleman posted a few photos alongside Derek Lunsford in the gym. It seems they did some workouts together. The photo was posted on March 29, 2023. Along with the photo, Ronnie wrote the following caption:

"There are no easy workouts here in the RCSS Training Compound!! New @dereklunsford_ collab video dropping Monday April 3 12pm EST!"

Photos and captions indicate that Ronnie is teasing his fans for an upcoming workout video with Derek Lunsford, which is set to be released on April 3. We also witnessed Ronnie motivate Derek in one of the workout photos.
