Nick Walker continues to prepare for the 2024 New York Pro with a huge back workout.
Nick Walker is back to full strength and just weeks away from his return to the stage during the 2024 New York Pro. He has recovered from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the 2023 Olympia and is looking to punch his tickets to this year’s show. During a recent YouTube video, Walker showed off his latest back workout.
Walker quickly rose to the top of the Men’s Open division in a relatively short amount of time. This includes winning the New York Pro during his rookie year. In 2021, he was crowned champion of the Arnold Classic before hitting the Olympia. He has two top-five finishes in each of the last two years and was a hopeful for this year as well.
“I’m a big advocate of the Dorian Yates style approach but we’re going to ease off of that in terms of training to failure. Not necessarily going to failure on sets but I may add a set or two on exercises to create a volume approach.”
The workout consisted of eight exercises used to perfect his physique ahead of one of the biggest shows of the year.

Walker has shared physique updates during the calendar year showing off his latest progress. Since his injury, Walker has worked on cutting weight and tightening up his physique.
“The weight is going down now. Things are starting to get really tight in terms of my body fat. It’s getting tight. Everything is getting tighter now. I can definitely tell we are getting leaner.”

As lean as he is, Walker remains one of the most-muscular athletes in the IFBB Pro League to this point. Many believe he would have competed for an Olympia title last year and he can do the same once qualified in 2024.
“We are hitting that four-week mark. This is grind time, this is the final stage. This is where we separate the men from the boys, the lions from the sheep.
We all know I always prevail from setbacks. I expect nothing less but to have another ring around my neck.”
