After a Horrifying Hamstring Injury Shattered His Mr. Olympia Dream, Nick Walker Engages in an Insane Leg Workout After Months

Nick Walker must have had major hopes about clinching the Mr. Olympia title in 2023, owing to the kind of training he was putting himself through for the competition. However, the 29-year-old bodybuilding icon could not make his dream a reality because of a hamstring injury hit him hard, making him leave the Olympia press conference in the middle. 

Now that as we enter the year 2024, new hopes seem to have started gaining momentum for Walker. Despite the injury, he has not given up on his efforts and dreams yet. Instead, he recently was seen engaged in a leg workout on his dead load week. 

Nick Walker’s leg workout

In a recent Instagram post, uploaded by Nick Walker’s official Instagram account, the bodybuilding Mutant, was seen doing a leg workout. As he has suffered an unbearable hamstring injury, he took the utmost care of intensity of the training. In the workout video, he said, “Today we’ll be filming legs. It’ll be my first official leg day since I tore it,” hinting at his hamstring injury.  

He wrote a caption that gave some crucial details of his leg workout. He said that he wanted to put a leg day in on his “deload” week to see how things would go, and as one could see in the video, they went decently well. Continuing further, he wrote that he was able to train quads at a very decent load and then again took some deload time, so he finally didn’t feel like pushing anything. He also tried some stiff leg exercises with 40 pounds. He was content and happy with his first leg workout after so many months after his injury.

The Mutant faced hamstring injury days before Olympia 2023 and it was one of the most devastating years of his life as he had to miss out on his Olympia dream. Apart from this, it broke the hearts of millions of his fans when he announced the unexpected news that he wouldn’t be competing at the Arnold Classic as well.
