Nick Walker is extremely confident in the preparation he has done this offseason.
Nick Walker has put all of his time and effort into preparing for the 2022 Olympia. After what has been a busy offseason, he is confident in his physique heading into the competition.
Walker joined 212 Bodybuilding legend Flex Lewis on his podcast, Straight Outta The Lair. During their conversation, Walker claims that he is destined to win the 2022 Olympia competition.
“Everything I’ve said I was going to do, I’ve done it and I will be Mr. Olympia without a doubt. I have a great support system for it. A great coach for it, now I’m in the Dragon’s Lair. Who’s gonna stop me?”
During his rookie year, Nick Walker won the 2021 New York Pro to punch his ticket to the biggest show of the year. He followed that up with a win on the Arnold Classic stage just weeks before the Olympia. Walker finished fifth during his first Olympia but was unhappy with his performance.
Nick Walker: “I Think I Applied Too Much Pressure”
Nick Walker has always been a confident competitor and set goals for himself last year. He accomplished one of winning in New York but was unable to follow it up with an Olympia victory.
“Even though I talked a lot of shi* last year. I said I was going to win New York. No one thought I was going to do it. I did it. Everyone said it was a weak lineup right. Everybody said, ‘eh, it wasn’t that competitive,’ and I said, ‘okay.’”
“I said I was going to win the Olympia. I think I applied too much pressure on myself.”
It has been a long offseason for Walker but he is starting to hit his stride and feel comfortable with what he is building.

“I couldn’t get in the groove of prep for a long time. The beginning of this prep was bad. Once me and him linked back up 12 weeks out, now we’re on a roll. And I’m very happy with what we’re doing right now,” Walker said.
The 2022 Olympia has a chance to be one of the deepest lineups in quite some time. There are plenty of newcomers and young talents that are going to step up in Men’s Open. Because of this, Nick Walker might be a bit overlooked but he believes he can take home the title.
“the mind will dictate everything. It’s like if you’re in a sh**ty mood. You’re not having a good day. Mentally, you don’t feel confident. Your body isn’t going to respond the way it needs to in a prep. If you believe you feel good, your body will just do its thing. Your body will just take off.”
