Nick Walker is one of the biggest bodybuilders out there. He came in first at the 2021 Arnold Classic and placed second at the 2022 Mr. Olympia, the biggest bodybuilding event in the world. He has continued to impress the bodybuilding community with his hard work and dedication. But, probably the most impressive aspect about Nick Walker is the raging pump in his muscles.

Walker regularly updates his fans on his physique through his social media. He especially likes to show off his huge veins that run up and down his arms and legs. While most of his followers enjoy the antics of the bodybuilding beast, some fans have started to wonder if Nick Walker’s huge veins are a cause for concern.

From the get-go, Walker emerged as a threat to his fellow bodybuilders when he dominated the 2021 New York Pro show in his rookie year with his detailed conditioning, freaky muscle mass, and the biggest arms anyone had ever seen. Nonetheless, his thick varicose veins have disconcerted fans and professionals alike. During the 2021 Arnold Classic, Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed his concern about Walker’s thick veins and was curious as to why they were in that state.

 

In the 2021 Arnold Classic, when Walker was posing on the stage, retired IFBB bodybuilder Dennis James, and the legend Arnold Schwarzenegger noticed the veins running up and down Walker’s legs. He expressed some concern, saying, “What’s the story with his veins in the… in the calves in the front? I’ve never seen that before.” To which James replied, “Yeah, I don’t really know. But I think that’s something that he can take care of.” Schwarzenegger was still concerned, and said, “But there’s definitely something going on there. It’s too thick… those veins.”

Nick Walker has, in the past, given an explanation for his condition saying, “…I’ve never had any issue with my veins. Ever. I do not have blood clots. At all. It’s a varicose vein. My grandmother has them. My brother has them. My mother has them. And guess what? They’re all fine.” But that hasn’t stopped the bodybuilding community from raising questions as to how his varicose veins might be affecting his health.
