Mr. Olympia 2022 was full of surprises. While everyone’s favorite, Big Ramy, came 5th, Hadi Choopan became the new champion. Nick Walker finished in the third position in the Men’s Open division. While it was not the top-most position, he was happy to be in the top 3. He went on to Instagram to share his views on coming in third. “This Olympia was a special one for me. As bad as I want to win because I’m so competitive by nature. This was a win for me in so many ways for that I’m beyond grateful,” he shared in the caption. While Walker did not win the most prestigious title in bodybuilding, he did make some progress compared to last year.

Even though he missed the title by a small margin, he was not beaten up about his placement in the competition. Though he got bested by Hadi Choopan and Derek Lunsford this time, he was still optimistic about the situation.

Nick Walker is still in the spirit of Mr. Olympia

Nick ‘The Mutant’ Walker is not over the Mr. Olympia vibe yet, as he just shared a video of his enormous bicep pump on Instagram. The Mutant is seen doing bicep curls in the video, with the caption, “Bicep pump after a show is the best pump.”

Walker came in 5th in Mr. Olympia 2021 and has jumped over to 3rd place this year. Surprisingly and coincidentally, in an episode of “The Menace Podcast”, Dexter “The Blade” Jackson predicted that The Mutant would come in third this year. And that’s what exactly happened.
