The 27-year-old International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League athlete won both the 2021 New York Pro and the 2021 Arnold Classic. He also came in fifth place at the 2021 Mr. Olympia — his debut at the illustrious competition.

On June 8, 2022, Walker shared an update on his 295-pound physique and his current training. It’s part of his ongoing preparation for the 2022 Mr. Olympia on December 16-18 in Las Vegas, NV.

About six months before the 2022 Mr. Olympia, Walker’s current body weight is 45 pounds more than his most recent competition weight of 250 pounds. The bodybuilder states that he’s starting the recomposition phase (or losing fat while continuing to gain muscle) of his training. Even with such a shift, consistency seems to be the name of the game for Walker.

“Week one of re-comp [recomposition] phase, diet this week will remain the same, training remains the same,” Walker wrote on Instagram. “I don’t like changing the training. I like to keep as heavy as possible.”

Walker says he’s full steam ahead in his workouts because he’s not changing much aside from a shift to the next step of his process.

“Digestion is on point; everything is feeling really good,” Walker writes. “I’m ready to get into prep.”

About Nick Walker

Thanks to his stellar 2021 competitive year, Walker established himself as one of the top rising names to watch in the bodybuilding sphere.

In May, Walker’s win at the 2021 New York Pro earned him an automatic qualification to the 2021 Mr. Olympia. Later that year, at the 2021 Arnold Classic in September, Walker won the show in his debut. That victory was especially noteworthy considering the bodybuilder predicted he would win in advance. To notch that title, he even beat more experienced veterans Iain Valliere and Steve Kuclo.

Finally, when it came to the Mr. Olympia in December, a fifth-place debut result was nothing to sneeze at. It might point to a potentially even more impressive result the next time he steps onto that stage.

Walker routinely provides countless updates on his physique and training on his social media. One recent challenging leg workout saw the bodybuilder joined by former 212 Olympia Champion (2019) Kamal Elgargni.

As he begins his formal prep for this year’s Mr. Olympia, Walker is training with a new coach. After Walker and his long-time coach Matt Jansen recently parted ways on friendly terms, the bodybuilding pro started working out with Dominick Mustacio.

The hype for Walker’s second go-around at bodybuilding’s most prestigious competition will undoubtedly continue to grow. Only time will tell how his training routine and new coach help him fare. The 2022 Mr. Olympia will take place on December 16-18, 2022 in Las Vegas, NV.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
