Nick Walker Weighs 262 Pounds Just Weeks Before 2022 Mr. Olympia

This isn’t the first instance of Walker making headlines in recent weeks. In addition to the usual updates on his work in the gym over social media and otherwise, the 28-year-old athlete has been making the rounds on various platforms, discussing what he thinks lies ahead at the 2022 Olympia. That, in turn, has almost acted as a seamless way to track his progression over the calendar year.

For example, in early June 2022, Walker weighed in at a staggering 295 pounds. Then, in early November 2022, after taking some time to disclose where his progress stood, Walker shared that he had a body weight of 277 pounds. With his latest update on the account, this means the bodybuilder steadily cut 33 pounds off of his frame in roughly six months’ time.

As far as soundbites and notable thoughts go, in mid-August 2022, Walker alluded to a potential scenario where he could dethrone Elssbiay at the Olympia. He maintained that if Elssbiay “comes in even slightly off,” it could be a “good battle” between the two titans. Two months later, in late October 2022, Walker said he thinks the upcoming Olympia will be a gauntlet of a contest thanks to “dark knights” like Derek Lunsford (who recently transitioned from the 212 division to Men’s Open) and 2019 Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry.

Finally, after revealing he had recently reunited with his coach Matt Jansen, a confident and ambitious Walker minced no words about his 2022 Olympia outlook. He told bodybuilding legend and seven-time 212 Olympia champion James “Flex” Lewis he would be “Mr. Olympia without a doubt.”
