Nick Walker believes that he will bring a better package to the stage than last year.
Nick Walker continues to be one of the threats to the 2023 Olympia title and believes that this is his year. During a recent conversation, The Mutant claims that he will bring a better package to the stage this year than he did last year when he finished in third place.
In a relatively short amount of time, Nick Walker has become one of the most anticipated bodybuilders in the IFBB Pro league. His massive size and conditioning have been lauded by fans and experts ever since he came onto the scene. Fast forward to 2022, Walker earned a third place finish at the 2022 Olympia – only behind champion Hadi Choopan and Men’s Open newcomer Derek Lunsford.
Nick Walker than jumped into the 2023 Arnold Classic just three months later. He brought a physique that was clearly more conditioned than his Mr. Olympia appearance but was perhaps slightly smaller and less full – reducing his famous “freak factor.” Due to this, he fell just short and landed second place.
Walker joined the Pure B.S. podcast for an interview about the upcoming Olympia competition.
Nick Walker: “In My Head, I’m A Winner”
Nick Walker broke down his prep and his mentality heading into the Olympia is just over one week.
“I really do just feel like this will be my year. You know, I feel like in terms of life in general, this prep, the stars are just aligning this year. Everything was the way I needed it to be. A couple hiccups here and there, nothing dramatic. This has probably been a very smooth year for me.”
Walker has also focused on his prep and nothing else. He does not focus on other competitors.

“I feel like when you start thinking about other competitors, you simultaneously start to play their game and I’m not here to play anyone’s game. I know my game. I know what my strengths are and they got me to where I’m at.”
“I’m very confident that we are going to have the arnold conditioning with olympia-type fullness. That was a thing that me and matt teeter-tottered with this prep. Going flat, filling out a little bit, going flat, filling out a little bit. So we didn’t get too flat.”
Overall, Nick Walker has put together a physique that he hopes will lead to an Olympia title come November 2.
“In my head, I’m a winner and everyone’s behind me. I don’t think about them.”
