Derek Lunsford<\/a> was crowned champion for the second time, and becoming the second bodybuilder ever to lose the title and regain it \u2014 joining Jay Cutler<\/a>. He edged out Hadi Choopan<\/a>, who finished as the runner-up once again, and third-place Andrew Jacked<\/a>. After victories at the Arnold Classic and Pittsburgh Pro, Lunsford set out to win the self-proclaimed \u201cTriple Crown\u201d in bodybuilding.<\/p>\n There are requirements and weight restrictions in other divisions in bodybuilding. Haney broke down the event and why he believes there should be new breakthroughs in Men\u2019s Open.<\/p>\n Lee Haney Calls for Multiple Divisions<\/p>\n The top four in the Olympia, including former champion Samson Dauda<\/a>, had different shapes and heights. Because of this Lee Haney believes there should be two separate divisions in Men\u2019s Open.<\/p>\n \u201cReason: physiques like Samson, Andrew, and Tabani, exhibits more balance due to their height. Where as Derek, Hadi, and Nick appears to carry more mass per lb.\u201d<\/p>\n Haney has spoken in the past about overall symmetry and why he believes it is the most important aspect of building a physique. This is where heights comes into play, as taller competitors bring more balance. The competitors on the shorter side, like Lunsford and Choopan, carry more mass.<\/p>\n Haney is tied with Ronnie Coleman for the most Olympia wins ever. From 1984-91, Haney was unbeatable in Men\u2019s Open. He was able to defeat other all-time greats such as\u00a0Frank Zane<\/a>,\u00a0Sergio Oliva<\/a>, and\u00a0Lee Labrada<\/a>.\u00a0Now, he continues to follow the sport closely and forms his own opinions on the new era of physiques.<\/p>\n The IFBB Pro League continues to make changes each year to the sport in order to make it even better. It would add another dynamic to the division and to the sport as a whole. This is not an idea that is on the horizon but Haney believes that it could improve standards.<\/p>\n \u201cThe results are confusing to say the least along with unparalleled appearances of the results. There\u2019s always room for the emergence of new standards\ud83d\udc4c\ud83c\udffd\u201d<\/p>\n For more news and updates, follow Generation Iron on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Derek-Lunsford-Wins-2025-Mr.-Olympia-Featured-Image-1024x576.jpg\"\/)
