Chris Aceto Talks Nick Walker’s Physique
Chris Aceto was asked about Nick Walker’s prospects for the upcoming Olympia competition. He believes that Walker has some poses where he looks better than others.
“I think there’s some poses that there may be one or two, that he’s not really strong at but other people have poses where, frankly, they’re not strong at. And he has some poses where he’s close-ish to. I wouldn’t say dominating on but he has some poses where he will catch the most experienced judges’ eye.”

There has been plenty of criticism around Walker’s physique from the NY Pro. He has responded to critics and is embracing the role of the underdog. According to Aceto, it is “ludicrous” to consider Walker outside of the top five.
“To talk about him not being in the top five seems to me ludicrous because he carries a lot of muscle and the Olympia is still about muscle. It’s all about conditioned muscle but it’s still about muscle and he’s shown that at every show he’s competed at, he’s either very good condition or superlative condition.”
