Nick Walker, a big name in the world of bodybuilding, had to pull out of the 2023 Mr. Olympia competition because he got injured just a few days before the competition. He tried hard to get better before the contest, but the injury was too serious, and he couldn’t recover in time which was upsetting for him.

The Mutant is going through a tough time dealing with emotional and mental distress, and he’s having trouble walking properly. When he talked about his daily routine, he shared that he has a problem with his leg muscles. One leg has a partial tear in the hamstring, and the other has a knot in the calf. Because of this, he finds it difficult to bend his legs. However, despite his injuries, bodybuilding experts are of the opinion that if Walker had shown up at Mr. Olympia fully fit, he would have walked away with the crown. Controversial? Perhaps. Unlikely? Not at all.

Walker is someone who doesn’t quit easily. Even after admitting with tears that he’s injured and can’t compete, he’s already back to training. So yeah, it’s no entirely in the realm of fiction to assume that had he shown up fully fit, he could have been crowned the new Mr. Olympia. Earlier, he shared a video of his workout focusing on chest and biceps, inspired by Dorian Yates.
