Its night and day, the judges wont see it that way of course.
The conditioning difference appears to be like night and day but I think it's partly the lighting. Plus Krizo's pics appear enhanced to me, some more than others. Nick looks like he needs tren and winstrol or something to tighten up (as if he wasn't on monstrous doses of those) I'll try to remember to revisit this thread when we have comparison pics from the stage, let's see if Nick looks soft in comparison. I think not
In the earlier pics, Nick looks like a schoolboy handing in an assignment, waiting for his teachers approval.In the later pics I can hear him saying "A+ A+ A+A+ !!!"
I think Nick is a big diuretic user, he looks like shit up until the day of the showGuy I knew years ago was prepping and I kept telling him he needed to work harder as he wouldnt be ready, a week before the show he was smooth and waterloggedStepped onstage a different person and won the overall
I just looked at some stage pics of Krizo and Walker juxtaposed. Krizo has thinner skin and better conditioning. However Krizo may have problems projecting as well on stage, especially from some distance, you only see the skin thinness up very close, he may appear washed out on stage. I have seen some competitors on stage who project this muscular and ripped conditioning but in fact appear to be holding water under the skin, alternatively it's skin that doesn't sit saran wrapped due to genetics. Still look very hard. And as you know taking diuretics can actually wash out a physique, even if the skin is thinner after taking them.
