After a tough battle at Arnold Classic 2023, bodybuilder Nick Walker has not been keeping calm. However, on a lazy Sunday, he invited fans to ask him questions on his Instagram. While answering multiple interesting questions, one of the fans asked Nick, “ Who is the legendary bodybuilder for u?”
Although Nick Walker was supposed to answer only one legendary bodybuilder, he chose to name seven retired bodybuilders. The ones who made it to his list were four-time time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler, six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates, seven-time Mr. Olympia 212 Flex Lewis, four-time Arnold Classic champion Flex Wheeler, eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, five-time Arnold Classic winner Dexter Jackson and famous bodybuilder Kevin Levrone.
Walker has a great mention of legendary bodybuilders on his list. However, what would really shock bodybuilding fans is the absence of the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, the bodybuilder who came much before these famous bodybuilders. It is tough to comprehend why Walker did not add Arnie to his list. However, after listing his favorites, he added a message at the end, “I’m sure I’m missing some but these the ones that stand out most to me”
Perhaps, Walker genuinely skipped Schwarzenegger as it is very natural in human beings. Nevertheless, during the Arnold Classic when Schwarzenegger was judging bodybuilders during the pre-judging round, he was not highly impressed with Walker’s physique.
