Nick Walker is taking a new approach to his preparation.
It appears that Nick Walker has a plan. No longer will he be focused on packing muscle on to his frame. Instead Walker had chosen a much different route. He already has all he needs from muscularity standpoint. Instead Walker is looking to attack his most glaring weakness: his midsection.
The 2021 Olympia saw Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay once again cemented himself as champion. But the reigning king had his fair share of top contenders to deal with. One of those athletes was none other than Nick Walker.
Nick Walker has had quite the 2021. Not only did he qualify for the Olympia with his standout performance at the NY Pro, Walker was also bet big on himself for his following feat. The young upstart decided to compete at the 2021 Arnold Classic, for the prestige of course, but likely also in hopes of limiting the contenders at the Olympia. Walker proved in just two shows that he was a force to be reckoned with in the ranks of the Open Bodybuilding division.
But despite acquiring himself and taking fifth place at the Olympia, Nick Walker wasn’t satisfied with his showing. Where he hopes of conquering the competition, he instead found himself falling short. It appears that Walker’s weak point, his midsection, held him back from success.
When faced with having to to return to the drawing board, so many bodybuilders consider growing more muscle above all else. If one thing is clear about Nick Walker it’s that he has more than enough muscle. No instead Walker has chosen to focus on making improvements to his weakest area. A recent post revealed where his mind his at right now.

This line suggests that Nick Walker isn’t focusing on building nor muscle but instead maintaining a strict diet. By doing so that means more opportunity to shrink his midsection while also holding on to his muscle.
The young bodybuilder had only turned pro the previous year, yet he’s already established himself as a threat to the top five in the world. Nick Walker is without a doubt a bodybuilder to keep an eye on in the coming years.
