Nick Walker announces he fired his coach/guru/drug dealer

[JK]

Nick wasn't a month out at all IMO. He just lacked that last amount of polish which is hard to even blame on the approach. Sometimes the body doesn't respond as usual. Often they blame nerves and cortisol but it's impossible to narrow down to just factor. I don't think he  was fatter per se.

In my opinion, this look is insulin abuse compared to the players from the 90s.

How is it that these clowns can’t even dial it in for ONE SHOW the whole year with a “coach”!?? You had bodybuilders that would compete for years on end back to back without anybody telling them what to do and they were in far superior shape.

This I don’t ever remember Yates  ray or Haney needing a diet guru

These clowns today pay there gurus 30% of there purse

So say lumpsford acetohole 30%

That’s 180 k

Which takes lumpsford a purse down to 420  in taxes lumpsford maybe netted 220 k

I was thinking about this recently. These gurus to the stars have convinced these high level competitors that they need them. And convinced them that they would be lost without them. What good salesman they are.

You can see why Nick Walker has fired his coach.  He couldn't even beat a physique that wouldn't have gotten inside top 10 at a pro show in the 90s/2000s

Not only that nick has not made a big purse in several years now

Dude is sucking cock and selling his ass

[LurkerNoMore]

To be realistic for a minute here..... how can you expect these guys to do their own prep when they can't do their own tanning process and look like they have bruises all over because of the shitty applications?

[Van_Bilderass]

you tend to be wrong every time regarding show level conditioning.

So I take it that Nick had a considerable amount of more bodyfat now compared to his best showings? He never has onion skin in the first place, but a slight amount of more bloat from water can make a big difference. So imo it had to do with the carb loading and wanting to be as big as possible, not so much a dieting or fat problem per se. See what happened to Samon when he shased extreme cuts through diet, that doesn't always work either.

And sometimes the body just doesn't cooperate.

yes, thats it, these guys just load up and get bloated, they must throw in carbs and water until they spill over.

Martin Fitzwater went old school and handed Mr Olympia his ass by coming in peeled.

They are trying to dry out while carb loading, which is really water loading. Simple logic says you are trying to do two contradictory things at once. So it's hit and miss and pure luck. "Keep the water in the muscle but lose it from under the skin" and the body may not work like that.

It can & is done - not that difficult to do. If low body fat it gives that thin skin cling film
Wrapped look.  The body is capable & does many things at once.

Yes but t's not like the body pulls water out of the subq comparment only. I re nember Vince Taylor had a theory that you should drop your diuretic a day or so before.  He claimed the diuretic pulled the water first from the muscle and then skin but when it came back the muscles would be dilled first 

Nowadays many claim they only take half a dyazide the night before if even that. When I attempted to help my buddy for shows what I thought was logical was to start a low dose of Dyazide on Sunday or Monday before. Then you could gauge what was happening day by day; maybe even dropping it in the day before if filling out seemed impossible . But usually there was a weight limit that had to be considered

I not a big believer in diuretics for final contest prep , have used them sparingly with some
I've got ready.  Maybe I don't know enough about them combined with the other stuff going
In contest prep.

I'll stick with my methods as I know them well.

fitz seems to be anle to manage it. not an oblique or serratus to be found on mr O, duda or walktard. sad

I think the main thing is simply being ready. Then even a small film of water won't matter most of the time

Yes . Only as we've seen countless times its a lot easier said than done.

Flex,  Shawn, Kevin really competed in the wrong era, if they were in this era they would take turns collecting trophies
