With the help of a new coaching team, Nick Walker intends to make a statement at his next bodybuilding contest. In a recent YouTube video shared on November 15, 2024, Walker smoked a push day workout and broke down his new training split.
Nick Walker was forced to bow out of the 2023 Mr. Olympia competition due to injuring his hamstring and calf. He bounced back successfully at the 2024 New York Pro, where he defeated Martin Fitzwater by two points on the scorecards. However, he wasn’t able to perform at the latest Mr. Olympia contest because his body wasn’t ready.
He and his ex-coach Matt Jansen parted ways, leaving Walker in a state of limbo. Fortunately, he teamed up with Kyle Wilkes and Jared Feather, who together, plan to help him mount a successful comeback. Still, the bodybuilding community is unsure which contest he plans to enter. After getting his groove back, Walker continues to add size and refine his physique as he sets his sights on the future.

While some have been critical of Walker being unable to compete at the Olympia, bodybuilding veteran Lee Priest isn’t one of them. He believes fans should give Walker a break, emphasizing that, at times in his career, he faced unnecessary pushback when contemplating whether to withdraw from a show.
With a training and coaching overhaul in the works, the future looks bright for Nick Walker. Time will tell which bodybuilding contest he chooses to enter, where he’ll surely be in pursuit of his qualification for the 2025 Mr. Olympia.
