“What a Time to Be Alive”: Bodybuilding Community Left Awe-Struck as Nick Walker Posts Physique Update Weeks Before His Much Awaited Comeback

29-year-old bodybuilder Nick Walker had to withdraw his participation from the 2023 Mr. Olympia at the 11th hour. Due to his recent hamstring tear, it was hard for him to cope with daily life, let alone the competition. The prep and the pressure of Mr. Olympia on top did not really suit his situation, and the Mutant had to drop out.

However, Walker also revealed soon after that he will make a strong comeback to the stage. The 2021 Arnold Classic winner claimed the stage of New York Pro 2024 as the fitting stage to show his skills and improved physique. When his fandom perceived this, it instantly stirred up the internet and brought about a wave of excitement for the upcoming event.

Nick Walker’s physique before New York Pro

The Mutant had previously announced that the missed chance at Mr. Olympia 2023 certainly gave him another reason to make a stronger comeback. Thus, he did not pay attention to all the negativity he was subjected to after his withdrawal from the show last year. Instead, he started training for the future. And he declared, “I’ll see everybody at the New York Pro. Y’all better be ready for it, because, you know, I will be.” 

In the caption of his post, he also compared himself with a fridge. He stated, “On my top notch fridge mode!!!!!!!!!!!!” However, his tone along with the photo of his jacked physique as proof of his improved physique certainly emphasizes a confidence to thrive at the stage of his upcoming show set for May 18 in Teaneck, NJ.

The fitness world cheers on Nick Walker’s physique improvement

One of the fans responded to Walker’s remark about being a fridge. So they said, “One of them fancy Samsung fridges.” Another fan declared, “Clearest win of 2024.” Someone else suggested how hard it would be to beat Walker’s physique, “That’s going to be a very tough physique to beat… “

Yet another fan remarked that he was blessed to be born at the same time frame where they can witness bodybuilders like Walker’s progress by saying, “What a time to be alive to see these incredible athletes push themselves to a whole new monster/mutant level.” One of them also suggested how shocked they were despite being his fan for a long time, “Always been a fan but it’s SHOCKING how much improvements you make. Wouldn’t have thought possible.”

As the New York Pro is slowly approaching, Walker fans are all excited to see their idol up on stage again. Do you think with his present physique, Nick Walker can reclaim another victory under his name and make up for his bad luck from last year?
