There have been changes and modifications in the bodybuilding industry for decades, but one thing remains constant; and that is, the next big star is always on the way. And right now, it can be New Jersey bodybuilding star Nick Walker. ‘The Mutant’ made a dramatic arrival by winning the New York Pro earlier, and as a result, he qualified for the 2022 Mr. Olympia in Orlando, FL.

The 2021 Arnold Classic champion made a name for himself as a rising star in the bodybuilding industry. Unfortunately, he did not win Mr. Olympia this year and was placed behind Hadi Choopan and Derek Lunsford. This left him hungry for the next chance to get the Sandow trophy. He is more determined than ever now and recently shared some inspiring words by entrepreneur Ed Mylett on his Instagram story.

The IFBB pro shared a video on his Instagram story of global speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and bestselling author Ed Mylett. Ed was talking about how one should aim big, and if most people are supporting you, then your aim might not be big enough. Mylett explained how other people might discourage a person and demotivate them. He then gives some advice: “Cause most people don’t want to see you get too successful or too happy because it will expose them.” Finally, Ed concludes his statement by saying, “Don’t yield. You were born to be on the road less traveled.”
