Nick Walker will return to a stage that he has already been victorious on.
Nick Walker has been sidelined with a hamstring injury and this forced him to miss the 2023 Olympia competition. After rehabbing his injury and returning to the gym, Walker believes he will be ready for the 2024 New York Pro and recently announced his return.
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. Unfortunately, Walker suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of the 2023 Olympia.
Walker is not qualified for the 2024 Olympia so he will need to win a competition to be able to return to the biggest stage. He will plan to do so during the New York Pro.

Walker said at the Olympia that he believes he deserved a special invitation to the 2024 edition of the show. He plans to return and put on his best show yet.
“I’ll see everyone at the New York Pro. You all better be ready for it cause you know I will be.”
Walker previously announced that he would not return to the Arnold Classic after finishing as the runner-up last year. The timing would not allow it following his hamstring tear.
“I know everyone has been wondering what is Nick Walker’s game plan.
There is no Arnold for me. That is just too soon. That’s almost four weeks out and I don’t feel ready enough for that and there is no invite and honestly, I’d rather earn my qualification. I’m okay with that. I’d rather earn my qualification and once I earn that qualification, I am going to win and come back strong.”
Nick Walker will enter the 2024 New York Pro looking to log his second victory at the event and punch his ticket to the Olympia.
