American bodybuilder Nick Walker has quickly become one of the top Men’s Open contenders in the running for the coveted Mr. Olympia title. While he’s known for his freakish muscle mass and size, there was a time when he did not look this huge. In a recent Instagram post, Walker got pushback from fans on his insane body transformation photo.
Nick Walker first rose to prominence for his immense muscle mass, size, and conditioning after he dominated the competition at the 2021 New York Pro. He followed up with another commanding victory at the 2021 Arnold Sports Festival before concluding the season with an impressive fifth-place finish in his Mr. Olympia debut.
Following the result, Walker worked hard in the off-season and exhibited a significantly improved package at the 2022 Mr. Olympia, where he took bronze. He was last seen in action at the 2023 Arnold Classic three months ago. He turned in a stellar performance but fell short to Samson Dauda for the top prize.
Walker tipped the scales at 280 pounds and detailed his mindset for different phases of contest prep last month. While he did not report significant changes in his diet, he started implementing a more serious supplement stack. Then, he opened up on the changes in his training after taking silver in his last outing. He encouraged his fans to focus on being consistent with diet and training instead of relying on steroids for improvements in the gym.
Olympia judge Terrick El Guindy is confident Walker is destined for the Mr. Olympia title. He called on Walker to enhance his quad muscles to the level of bodybuilding veteran Branch Warren to better his chances of winning the coveted Sandow trophy.
‘The Mutant’ gave fans a look into the supplements and the shake he utilizes in the morning to improve digestion weeks ago. He issued an inspirational post boasting his huge legs crediting high-intensity training for the positive changes in his physique as well.
Nick Walker smashed a heavy push-day workout and cautioned his fans against reaching muscle failure in training. He also revealed that his intention is to shed weight and downsize after hanging up his posing trunks last week.

In a recent Instagram post, Nick Walker faced backlash from the fans on a body transformation photo he shared which highlighted the stark differences in his now-muscle-bound physique.
“Never stop believing. Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something, stay focus, rid of all distraction that’s hindering your performance, hindering your mindset,” captioned Walker. “Put yourself first always, shine brighter then you ever thought you could.”
“Bro took 6g of creatine instead of 5,” commented one.
“Another dude on steroids acting like everyone can achieve this naturally. The delusion is real,” wrote another.
A user responded, “Bro changed his DNA.”
“Haters will say he’s not natty”
“on the right side i see a healthy young man on the left side i see a basically seriously ill man whose organs injected with drugs will probably cost him his young life at some point… the parallels to dallas mc carver are amazing. I wish the best !!!”
“When people say ‘It’s not drugs, it’s genetics. These guys would be the best built men even without steroids” I always think of pics like this”
“Look how much the hGH has enlarged his organs. Pelomboism.”
Nick Walker joined forces with online fitness sensation Tristyn Lee and Jared Feather for a brutal back workout days ago. He offered some of his best tips on optimizing volume training based on his years of experience.
