It doesn’t take a special occasion for bodybuilding giant Nick Walker to entertain his fans with his insane physique. In recent times, fans went crazy as Nick ‘The Mutant’ Walker showed off his big guns and took various poses. Stood beside him was another bodybuilder who takes immense inspiration from Walker and is constantly impressed by him. As captioned by the former’s official Instagram page, meeting Walker was no short of witnessing “history last night.”

Kyle Landi is a bodybuilder and fitness model, who also suffers from the rare condition of Down Syndrome. The 22-year-old’s efforts to defy all odds has often landed him posing alongside some of the elite bodybuilders of the sport such as eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, four-time Arnold Classic winner Flex Wheeler, four-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead, and the likes. This time, Landi posed alongside the 2022 Mr. Olympia People Choice Winner.

Kyle had an experience of a lifetime with @nick_walker39 what a great role model and representation of the bodybuilding and fitness community. Thank you Nic and to all of the men and woman in our community who rallied behind @greenrangerkyle”. Nick Walker too shared the post on his Instagram page.
