2024 Olympia - Nick Walker is OUT! Withdraws Oct 5

[Fallsview]

Goodmorrow,

Nick Walker has no bowed out of the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest.  The announcement was made today on Saturday October 5th but the decision was made last Thursdays

Nick said "His body was just not there"

Good Day!

[French]

his body can no longer tolerate all the drug injections

[affeman]

The guy is turning into a joke...

[Hulkotron]

Will be back next year with an all-time best package (nh).

I hope dude won’t be statistics.

knows his time has passed, lucky to get top 6 if he competes, this way he makes promises for next year and people hang on and he keeps his shitty supplement sponsorships

Unless hes blown his kidneys

[tacobender]

People still watch the Olympia or follow it?

[webstar]

I think he just turned 30 and has pulled out of 2 olympias.

Last year was the hamstring - fine .

But 2 weeks out and your body isn’t responding after doing 1 show months ago.

There is only one answer. Body/ receptors are shot

Preemptive PIP 2026

he checked who is going and decided he wouldn't win so is chickening out

its called doing a Hankins

I was gonna say bhanky he’s chicken on my other thread

Smart move. It's all about social media and his profile won't really grow even if he wins the olympia, as to be honest nobody cares about it anymore.

The last Mr Olympias anyone cared about were Ramy, Cheath and Jay. Even Ramy must have been years ago at this point.

[Rambone]

Hamstring? Korea?

[Brenda Steunbeer]

Mr Olympia is the who-can-endure-the-highest-level-of-drug-abuse-without-killing-himself contest.

It seems after 10 years of excessive drug use his health caved in.

But on a positive note, I still hope we can witness the sudden-death-on-stage exit of a Mr Olympia finalist. That would be epic.

[mops]

Im still holding on to the hope that we'll see Dead Walker on stage, handing out awards in an ill fitting polo shirt, buttoned all the way up.

[SF1900]

lol at the guy saying that Nick has had so much stress in his life, that his body is finally releasing the stress and that’s why he’s not responding. What a joke.

[Taffin]

Didn't someone on here say his back ache was more likely a liver thing?

I think that was just the undershirt bunching up

[oldtimer1]

It's time for him to get a real job.

I remember all these guys in my early twenties. Juicing, living in shit apartments and bouncing at night.  Then after chasing the steroid pump it was over. They had no career and they looked ten years older than their actual age.  Last time I ran into one of them they pulled out a crumpled picture out of their wallet to show me how they looked back in the day.  The sad part was they were standing right in front of me looking like crap.

So few make a living out of this odd ball subculture of a sport. Why have syringes, vials and pills to walk around to get compliments from the clueless.  Pursue a career, family and use lifting as your passion and not sick obsession.

thats the spirit mate- they'll never stop us laughing!

I’m not a clothing expert.

But, surly this can’t be the undershirt bunching up?

Brian, Can you advise since you suffer from the same condition?

[Notomorrow]

As someone who's had it, his announcement video looks very much like he is in congestive heart failure.  The swell of the face/neck and that level of ascites in the abdomen. Interesting they didn't shoot his legs, those ankles and lower legs might have been huge.

I hope I'm wrong and pray the man's ok.

[falco]

He wont be flexing his glutes in anytime soon.

[Fallsview]

Personally I feel that Nick had a bloodwork/health problem. Something on his bloodwork might have been very dangerous causing him to stop whatever supplementation he was doing. On ther hand Nick might be having a problem with his health, kidneys, liver, spleen, blood thickness, etc. from whatever supplementation protocol he's following.
To have the IFBB let him out of a contract to do the Olympia he needs to show that his health was at risk.

He's turning into Big Ramy.

Training, bathroom pics, dropout.

[joswift]

he looks like he doesnt even lift in that video
No delts, just a sloppy mess

The tears as well tells me hes not long for this world, his organs are on their way out and he knows it
