Nick Walker is one of the biggest contenders for the Mr Olympia 2023 and his 24-inch biceps can give anyone the run for their money. However, this time Walker will not be able to compete in the event due to a hamstring tear that left him with a severely bruised leg. He was upset about it and even came onto Instagram to talk to his fans. Walker will be present at the Mr. Olympia expo but not on stage.

However, he has support from his partner Maria Carvajal, and his friends who encourage him every day. The champion is strong and determined and even in this crisis, he does not miss a gym day even when he is bound to a wheelchair like Ronnie Coleman.

Nick Walker is fit as a fiddle

Michael Daboul who is a fellow IFBB pro, shared a recent Instagram story where he was seen in the same gym with Nick Walker. In the video, Nick was seen working out on his biceps while sitting down and doing some rigorous rep exercises.
