After turning professional, Nick Walker embarked on an incredible winning spree. His triumph at the prestigious 2022 New York Pro bodybuilding competition propelled him into the limelight, solidifying his reputation as a formidable contender. Subsequently, he debuted at Mr. Olympia and secured an outstanding fifth place, exceeding all expectations for a first-time participant. Consequently, both fans and the bodybuilding community hold high hopes for this promising young athlete.

Recently, the Mutant shared an Instagram post displaying his remarkable physique progress, sparking a heated discussion among fans and the bodybuilding community. The post features the caption, “Certainly my leanest and biggest at the weight I am 282 this morning,” which received a variety of reactions. Both accolades and critiques filled the comment section.

The debate continues: The road to Mr. Olympia 2023 amidst differing opinions

Some fans were quick to applaud the 28-year-old for his monstrous physique, commending his dedication and hard work. Canadian bodybuilder Tristyn Lee was particularly impressed by the 2022 Olympia Runner-up’s X Frame, describing it as “freaky.” Another admirer marveled at the transformation of the bodybuilder’s waist. “The job you’ve done with your waist is almost unbelievable.” In the eyes of these supporters, the Mutant’s remarkable progress positioned him as a strong contender for the title of Mr. Olympia 2023.  “The next Mr. Olympia 2023.”

Nevertheless, the 2021 Arnold Classic champ’s physique didn’t impress everyone. Professional bodybuilders and critical fans eagerly expressed their concerns. A bodybuilder highlighted the apparent lack of progress in Walker’s outer quad sweep, implying that his leg exercises relied excessively on basic machines. “Same old c**p. No improvement on the outer sweep of the quads. All I see are basic leg machine workouts by Nick. I don’t see drop sets, rest pauses, and other workouts to make them grow. Need to get gritty and get under the bar like Tom Platz!”  Mr. Olympia 212 champion Derek Lunsford made a brief statement, saying, “All gas. No brakes.”

One person suggested, “take a year off and have an operation…..because you don’t make it into the top 6 like that! At least show a nice body for spectators…” Additionally, another individual pointed out, “If you zoom in “Parental Advisory” with the skin issues …..”

Nick Walker’s unwavering support: Fitness enthusiasts stand by him

Undeniably, the heated nature of the discussion caught people’s attention. One fan showed their irritation by stating that critics often give their views without genuinely comprehending the tremendous commitment and hard work needed for such a dramatic body transformation. “It’s just crazy how no matter how good you look and how hard you work someone will always say something when they have no idea how hard you work. Social media is the mental implication that was ever invented. Everyone is all of a sudden an expert at everything it’s wild.”
