The GH and insulana have taken its toll.
Shrivelled limbs, lost the fullness, distended gut...
Just looking at some of the pics, looks very similar to the original picture of Palumbo which personified the symptoms of this disease.
Thoughts?
-
He IS Palumboism.
-
His receptors seem to be shutting down. A body can only handle that amount of abuse for so long...
-
The acne aint no better or worse than the vericose veins IMO. just disgusting. Not sure why he decided his look was winning...
-
What will happen to his leg veins when or if he retires? I would imagine shaving his legs had to be hard/painful for him?
-
Repost from the main Mr O thread... :-X
-
Actually Rubiel who was in the last callout and is going to place out of the Top 15 looks better than him.

His legs downsized since the last shows and his condition is worse. The hype train is over for him being a potential winner.

he was NEVER a potential winner

LLS. Zero chest. Gained mass in obliques instead. Peaked too early and is fading fast. He’s almost ready to die for us bitches.

Maybe he used Nair or something.
-

If he lives to retirement. Having vascular disease that bad at that age ain't good.
-
They look even worse than I expected. What a disaster compared to the 70s / 80s / 90s!
Are the judges and IFBB blind? Can't they see how much the "sport" has deteriorated?
-
He dropped out of the Mr O before with him and his coach saying that he wouldn’t have been able to show the physique he was capable of. This year they hyped it up as him being the best shape ever.
It’s going to be the start of a long slow hard struggle with life in general when he is forced to retire and his health declines. BBing was the only thing he could possibly do and he wasn’t even good at that.
-
Nick will place 6th and that will be a gift.
-
Easily will win Mr Bridge Troll 2025

Even by modern standards they look bad.
Everyone used to bring their best to the O. I think back in the 70's and 80's and maybe 90's too, they all trained and used gear but got into contest shape by diet and may have even dropped some drugs closer to the contest.
Now Idk, but it seems they're doing too much to peak? Like there is too much experimenting close to the show? Like some magic drug that will get them ready and they fuck up their prep?
Idk, I don't know much about contest prep or drugs but these guys all look like shit. Andrew is the only one who looks to be at his best.
Is Krizo even competing? Did he even qualify?
-
Bodybuilding peaked in the 80s/90s. I don’t even know what this is anymore. Bunch of lumpy oil filled body parts covered in varicose veins. No flow, no proper proportion, no definition. Just mass at all cost. What’s funny is even with their outrageous size someone like Arnold would still make them look small due to the average height of these modern pros.

X2. And that's without even touching on the outrageous health risks the current era is taking with their drug stacks. I mean, imagine, going through all that just to look like veiny, lumpy, mass of melted shit, then to destroy your health on top of it.

I'm not defending his ugly physique but winning an Arnold isn't "good"? In competitive terms he's a success. Factor in his uglilness and he's an insane success.
Now Idk, but it seems they're doing too much to peak? Like there is too much experimenting close to the show? Like some magic drug that will get them ready and they fuck up their prep?
IMO there might be less experimenting today, some coaches are pretty formulaic. I think the body just doesn't cooperate perfectly each time. Then there is the obsession with "fullness," everyone is afraid of coming in downsized and flat, like Samson now. So they overflow.

I spent 30 seconds on this and it's absolute dog-shit, but I was trying to see what is 'off' about his structure. So I stretched the legs and cut those obliques but it still didn't look right. Then I lowered the torso - his is long like Matarazzo
The result is vaguely Lumpsford

The legs are short and the torso long but the quads don't have sweep either and the separation could be better. I've said a thousand times on here that the short legs, long torso look is the nr1 aesthetics killer IMO. All the best looking bbers had long legs.

I've taken shits that would look better on stage.

Nick's quads legit look like they're melting. They look goddamn lumpy. I hope you assholes all regret predicting he would win. ;D

Yep, the short stumpy legs kill their overall structure. Makes short bbers look even more like oompah loompas
Everyone always praises Lee priest , aside from his arms and calves, his structure with short legs, narrow clavicles, no chest, and long torso, makes him look off
-
Agreed.
Leg lenght is big for overall appereance. Just a bit too long and they look thin.
Come to think of it, most of the ’90s greats had good symmetry in that regard.
Nasser, Leverone, Dorian, Ronnie, etc. Around 5’10” seems to be quite a sweet spot?
Flex and Shawn were tad shorter but were still proportionate within their frame.
-
Walker got 6th place.

Flex was 5’10
He’s shorter now on one leg these days
Levrone 5’9 and Cormier 5’9
Ronnie 5’10, Dorian 5’10, Nasser 5’11

Nick really reminds me of a dead bloated toad with little shriveled limbs.

The whole thing isn't a physique that really works as an olympia winner but it also doesn't really fall into the niche of the torso becoming the main focal point combined with the atrophy of the limbs. He still has bigass arms and quads. The arms have to start going in palumboism.

Nick Walker is done. Chop him up and turn him into dog food.

His shape looks much better on the left.

Nasser has a bit of long torso syndrome as well but his quads are well defined, legs are proportional, and the excellent shape of his overall physique more than compensates for it

6th place at the O. Potential 1st place in the 2026 Dead Pool ???
-
Once Nick's bodybuilding career is over, and this may not be too far into the future he will need to be on suicide watch. Bodybuilding is all Nick has, he is currently living in his childhood bedroom at his parent's house.

I was just about to post this. ABOMINATION!

I think it's actually pretty adorable when he tells everyone weekly in his videos which film he has been watching with his parents at the movies recently again. ;D

Exactly, I was thinking of Priest when I wrote my post.
When speaking of long legs, one guy that comes to mind is Terrence Ruffin. Sometimes its almost as if they are too long but its always preferable to short legs IMO.

The judges are paid for promoting synthetek.

Palumboism is a type of parasite I think that needs a host to survive. Unfortunately Nick was chosen.
