The IFBB pro posted the picture for his 1.2 million strong fan base on Instagram. The image features a photo of Walker from 2012 and another photo of Walker from last year’s Mr. Olympia contest. “Left- 159 pounds (2012)… Right- 255 pounds (2022),” wrote Walker in the caption. The difference between the two physiques is staggering. While the image on the left is also from a bodybuilding show, Walker looks much more downsized than his 2022 physique.
