In his latest video, Walker indulged in ‘chest and bicep’ training. In between the sessions, he aimed to clarify the situation, and shed light on his determination to fitness and “road to recovery.” Even, during this difficult condition he has continued putting in his all and ensuring that he works out.
The 29-year-old bodybuilder said, “So you guys know, I train pretty much still like RP strength and now I’ve read some comments. That is certainly not why I got injured.” He continued and stated, ” No one trains the way I train you know, not to be a d*ck but no one has that control, it’s just that you don’t see it. Freak accident, you know I mean, it literally could have happened to anyone.”

Since his injury, doctors recommended he use a wheelchair till he fully recovers. It has been a roller coaster for him, and despite putting in all his effort he was not able to walk properly. Walker also said that his bruise getting red was a sign of it getting better.
