In the bodybuilding world, to boost up their ego, athletes sometimes focus on going heavier on weights, over proper muscle contraction or form. This is often done to project strength and look impressive, rather than emphasizing on the fundamental principles of muscle development.

Nick the Mutant Walker, known for his exceptional feats of strength, takes this up and unravels why several athletes are unable to get to their dream physique. Here’s what he thinks prevents most bodybuilders from getting successful.

Nick Walker thinks ego is the biggest villain in play

Nick Walker recently took to his official Instagram account and shared a video in between his workout sessions. As the video begins, he says, “I think a lot of times, people are too worried about their ego.” He goes on to state how several bodybuilders get into the gym and start lifting heavy.

They do this because they think it makes them look cool. Taking the example from his initial days of training, he stated that he too used to do the same thing. Back when he used to lift 405 lbs, he had no conditioning in his body. However, now that he has realized it, he refrains from repeating the same mistake.
