“Looks Like S**t”: Exercise Scientist Drops Views on Bodybuilding Icon Nick Walker’s Debut Show Physique

Time and effort are two of the most important factors a bodybuilder must have. If you fail to give bodybuilding proper time and slack off in efforts, you might not get the results you want. But those who can manage to set examples and their physiques speak for themselves. Nick Walker, aka The Mutant, is one such example as the transformation Walker had throughout his career is awe-inspiring.

In a recent video, bodybuilding critic Dr. Mike Israetel was invited to Dr. Pak’s podcast for a conversation. Here, Israetel praised Walker for the improvements he has made throughout his journey, considering him the perfect example of someone who invested proper time and effort. 

Walker beat all odds to become a successful bodybuilder

“You often see people that are half-a**ing their sh*t and it’s like okay bro you’ve trained for six months you’ve made some gains you’re not going to unless you’re a genetic freak you’re not going to be turning heads,” Dr. Pak said in the video. Replying to this, Israetel said that sometimes, even if you are a genetic freak, you might not be turning heads. For this, he used The Mutant’s example. 

“Pictures from his first show, and he knows this, he looks like sh*t he’s some kid with like, you look like awful genetics; years later, he’s Nick Walker,” explained the former professor. But with time, Walker improved his physique and put in a lot of effort to become what he is now. The Exercise Scientist mentioned that The Mutant focused on giving proper time and effort to his physique. He further explains, “If people aren’t interested in putting in time and effort you know, before the genomics revolution, where you just take a viral vector and you’re Jack the next day before that happens, there is just no negotiating it.” 

The former professor concluded and highlighted that if you cannot invest enough time and effort, “sorry, this is not for you,” hinting at what was absolutely important for a bodybuilding career. Earlier last year, showcasing the changes he had gone through, fans were given a peek into how Nick Walker’s physique had changed over the years. 

The Mutant’s mind-boggling transformation 

A YouTube account named Alex Red Studio shared a video of Walker with the caption, “Nick Walker from 5 to 28 years old transformation.” The video was filled with images of Walker taken on various occasions. The five-year-old Walker did a front double-bicep pose while his father was standing by him. 

The Mutant grew up in a traumatic environment and found relaxation in bodybuilding. Since then, he has never looked back. After witnessing visible changes in his physique at the age of 18, he paved his way up to his current level. Walker won his first Arnold Classic at the age of 26, and 2021 was the best year of his career so far. The 310-massive mass monster also won New York Pro that year and placed fifth in his first Olympia competition. 

Walker’s story serves as a constant reminder of the need to put in proper time and effort to achieve one’s goals. What do you think of Walker’s transformation? Let us know in the comments.
