Nick Walker OUT Of Olympia & Breaks Down In Tears... 

My heart goes to Nick. Dig deep, find that strength and in the end you can be that champion. I also wish I could of spent more time on this video with the edit etc. but with the nature of how RU-vid works on breaking news stories like this I had to get it out as fast as possible. I do have more to say about this and I'm working on getting more info so there may be a follow up video. Thank you everyone for always being here...

Definitely his career is over . Sad that his health is being compromised but the open class seems to be dying a slow death . Shows are based on who can survive not who is in shape .

I can't get over how enormous Nicks gut is 🤯

Let’s not kick the guy while he’s down. Being on that level and not being able to showcase 2 years in a row has to be devastating mentally

Nick is basically Ramy #2 at this point. Remember how good Ramy was and how quickly his physique went to shit? Same thing is happening here. Taking time off won’t do shit.

I feel like his midsection didnt go as planned. His waist looks HUGE here! It did all prep!

In other news....Kai Greene has also stated that he will not be competing this year......

Their story don’t add up they said he’s not in shape where they like him and that he works better in stressful toxic environments wtf lmao

Get away from Matt. While you still can.

Matt Jansen has him on too much , he needs to get off for a while

Matt Jenson really rubs me the wrong way. Nick needs to run

Nick should stop the drug abuse and get healthy, find a wife and have kids. everyone that says otherwise likes to see him suffer. now he can maybe live to 50 if he stops now.

Bubble Gut is why he dropped out ... I hope he can bounce back.

Turns out abusing drugs and food is not healthy. Go figure.

Dude always looked like he was on way too much.i like his positivity and passion

This guy has to pull a Dorian Yates and just get clean, lose weight, live a healthy lifestyle asap before it’s too late. It might be too late anyhow but give it his best effort to really get healthy.

Time to retire. You miss one, you can recover, but two or more you are done. I think there is something else going on in the background that isn't being discussed. Nick needs to take a break, step back and get some help and figure out what it is impacting him mentally and physically, im willing to bet there's a medical issue involved and or mental issue as well. He's been hitting the gas pedal the entire time and not taking time to focus on his mental health. Nick is a good guy, he's emotional and that needs to be addressed. But go back and look at what's happened some of Jansens other athletes when they have pulled out.

If you could ever quit and win, that time is now for Nick Walker.

Why was his elbows so fucking red

I'm worried about his health. Looks like Nick Trigili was right (again) about Jansen. Look what happened to Dallas. Look at Brett pulling out last year because his body "wasn't responding" too. And now Nick. Matt is known to be heavy with doses and using unnecessary PED's such as EPO on his guys which is more for endurance.

Isn't this the guy that was training Dallas ? RIP

You can have a thousand problems and have a health problem, then you have one problem. I hope Nick rests up and will come back better 🙏 ❤

His coach said he is looking out for nicks health but yet pumps him full of gear

Everyone needs to be super grateful Nick's finally taking time off - time off from copious amounts of gear, insulin, GH, peptides, etc., time off from heavy lifting and time off from bodybuilding. We have plenty of examples where this could lead. Matt Jansen has grown wiser since the times of Dallas McCarver and he knows better. We don't need another tragedy to unfold.

Matt "his body is not where it's supposed to b" no sh*t. Walker looks like he's been bulking for a few months. I mean look at his gut. It's huge.

"In terms of bodybuilding, he's still young" I think his organs would suggest otherwise

They repeat the word "honestly" so much that it makes me suspect

I hope he stays out of bodybuilding, absolutely wrecking his body and health of a young man, when he’s never ever going to be Mr Olympia, just doesn’t have the structure or look, see too many lives ruined through chasing a false dream.

The size of Nicks stomach and what's with those purple elbows?

His careers over,you don't come back from chemical burnout 🔥 You can see how he's developed palumboism,arms and legs are shrinking while his gut gets larger.

kind of noticed his mid section area looks extremely "bloated" in his videos over 2 mos ago he never took his shirt off, when he did it was above his neck in his at home videos?? makes you wonder if the gear has finaly taken it's toll on his mind,body and seemed no energy... so definetly his coach made the right decision as well as Nick, so check in with him once in awhile too give him words of encouragement he needs it.

Isn’t this the same guy who coached Dallas Mccarver? 🪦 Pray 🙏 for Nick guys.

Its a bitch move. He is what is wrong with this generation of “men” if you can call them that, quitting when things dont go their way. Men honor their contracts and commitments.

Nick Walker is the best example of what goes wrong in the bodybuilding business.

I feel Nick needs to talk to Hany to coach him for next year !! 💪🏻❤

Samson and Nick with all this whining and crying this week. He knows he doesn't have what it takes to win, and wouldn't even place in top 5 this year. STOP MAKING EXCUSES. No one cares about your tears. Stop the over DRUGGING & throw your towel in while you still have a life.

Blubbering like a baby. Time to man up. He pumped in all of those illegal chemicals for nothing.

Who cares lol he’s finally realizing he isn’t what he thought he was. Kids been talking trash for years. He’s just not him. Now he knows this, goof

So in other words, his coach effed up his contest prep, and had him NO WHERE NEAR being ready for THE BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR!!! Nick needs to fire this clown IMMEDIATELY!

I think in 10 years time Open Bodybuilding will be closed , no one will be interested to take this high risk with health to compete, Arnold and Ronnie influence gone

Let's be honest; Google algorithms did not recommend this to you. You guys searched for it

Looks like he's taking some training tips from Palumbo and Big Lenny. Smart move.

He had to get a bad batch of drugs. Which seems crazy at the level he is at.

Hes just saved himself a tidal wave of online critique. It was the best move.

The comments bashing Nick on Insta are ridiculous. Feels like something else is going on with Nick

It sounds as if Nick has been going through a difficult time, my heart goes out to him.

I understand people get tired. Hell I do from just work. I get depressed. I think all hard working men do but there is a lot more going on here for one the coach just rubs me wrong in all ways and Nick go be happy dude your a legend already man. Live a good life dont hurt yourself.. also, when Nick is talking, why does his tongue seem swollen as hell like he's having an allergic reaction? He does not look like he's been in prep at all. He's super bloated... THINGS ARE NOT BEING SAID FOR THE PULL OUT GAME 😢😢

Never had the makings of a varsity player.

Nick reminds me of Dallas right before the end.

Looks like his gut is blowed out! Great call..

This guy’s gut is just crazy, look at it while he is just sitting there it just looks so distended, i don’t like this guy’s physique one bit, stay off the stage, no one is gonna miss that belly

I’m dropping out bc I don’t look good.. lame af should of just said his health bc we all know how Jensen does

Why are his elbows and wrist so red ?

Matt said Nick was commited and meticulous = He failed Nick as a coach. Nick's only mistake here was not firing this guy last year. A responsible coach like Greg Ducette would never have let him risk injury to what wouldve been his best show ever last year. Nor would he have let Nick get too far off for too long this year to come back from.

Bottom line is Nick Walker needs to trow in the towel...He's finished

Dude has a lot more deep seeded issues in my opinion.

Can you imagine having and paying a coach for years and NOT getting to the goal you have risked your life for. And missing the opportunity to simply compete 2 years in a row. The poor guy looks sooo unhealthy. Very sad

Based on how he looks here, they’ve known for a while.. I feel bad for NICK

Aww it’s hard to see him like that… even though it was his choice to drop out… it’s still devastating .

Nobody had Nick winning bro. Get off his nuts.

Too much gear.. too much food.. too much bodyweight.. too heavy of weights = extremely unhealthy and early death. 300 pounds with a 50 inch waist.. and 5 foot 2.. bad recipe

They should have a “monster” class where the gut doesn’t matter. Just show us a gigantic human. Nick would win that class.

Dudes a quitter…. I’m sure all the Olympia competitors have stress and tribulations in life that they have to deal with

In 2023, he dropped because he COULDN’T compete. In 2024 he dropped because he WON’T compete - and that’s what’s so hard to digest.

His body has crazy inflammation. Time for a break and you know what I mean

Nick needs to get away from Matt before he's another Dallas. That guy is a dangerous coach.

He's only 30 what's he going to be like when he's 40

His stomach looks super big

His elbows both are soooo red. What happen to his health ?????

He should have gotten Greg's cookbook and done more cardio. I say that as a joke but there's probably a lot of Truth in there

Respect to nick, but he seems highly unstable mentally. Most people are struggling with something, no shame in that

Nick, Just have you baby, rest and Come back strenger and less pregnant thsn last time

Health above everything else...get well Nick

Afraid to lose period

He needs to get a coach that is not a friend or equal. He needs an Aceto, a Hany or a Stephan.

Matt ruined Nicks career time to move on he was better off with Super Slice..

I still think that break up from his ex Maria caused some issues for sure he looks like he never even attempted to diet look how full his face is, or he switched vendors and has bad gear it wouldn’t be the first time this has happened but that seems like a stretch… think Maria had some and made some really good chimichangas

Nicks coach failed him with his lack of knowledge of PED effects on Nicks body. Diet and training isn't causing the issues Nick has. Nicks career is done. Time to stop all gear, go clean and focus on health, get rid of the massive bubble gut from GH use and the thick veins in his calves are all signs his body is in serious trouble. In years ahead Nick might be able to return and be a contender again in 212 perhaps. He looks like an obese man here in this video with his massive belly. Imagine what his heart looks like and the stress on his organs. Love to know his PED cycle and have Vigorous Steve dissect it.

My heart goes out to Nick. He’s made sacrifices to achieve his dream that I can only imagine. I pray he realizes that he’s more than his physique and he has something more to offer this world than competitive Bodybuilding.

He should compete at 212

GET RID OF THIS LOSER COACH! COME ON NICK! 😊

The old generations of pre2000 get a lot of flack for not being "on" all year,but they were smart to only abuse it only while they were on prep,the body needs a breather from all that poison

His coach sitting there all nice and trim in great shape while Nick looks like a miserable massive mass of mass who won’t live to see 50…. The “coaches” are as much to blame as their athletes for the drug abuse.

Health problem or opiate addiction. Let’s not forget guy was giving him kratom…maybe nick moved on to the hard stuff.

This why open bodybuilding is so sad.

He's dropping out bc he's out of shape, how is that honorable? He only has so many years in his prime age to compete and he's missing them, thats not a good look.

Nick Walker is a COWARD for dropping out without an injury.

They say the average lifespan of a pro bodybuilder is now 40. I can believe it...

If you think this decision is simply because he's "not in shape" your nuts. This is health related, nick has put on about 100 pounds in the last 6/8 years, that takes EXTREME levels of drug abuse, and their is a very very expensive bill that comes with that, this kid will not live long if he keeps up the lifestyle. People need to stop enabling these guys they are ADDICTED to this lifestyle like any addict. Can you honestly imagine what this guy's insides look like. I really like nick and i hope the guy doesn't die young like the countless others that came before him living this life.

His body is rebelling from all the anabolic compounds that he has taken over the years. His estrogen level is probably off the charts. Thats why he is tearing up so easy.

I hate to say it but the guy isn’t going to live very long if he doesn’t get off EVERYTHING. And get cleaned out! I am telling you, bloating and holding water. That has nothing to do with him holding fat.. absolutely nothing. This has to do with a doctor telling him not to compete! You are at your absolute worse health wise a week from a show. Your blood work is way off at this point. Something is wrong. Looks like he has edema or is in some type of heart failure. Your body holds water and you become swollen when you are on some form of heart failure. It could be something outside of heart failure but something has became dangerous enough for him to drop out due to his health The Olympia would laugh at him to get out of his contract if he told them his physique is off or that he hasn’t lost enough fat. But at the same token they can’t say it’s health related, it puts a black eye on the brand. This is comical tho that they tried to blame it on his body not responding because it’s wore out. I mean yes that could be partially true but the guy has likely burnt his kidney up and his heart. Something bigger is going on. He reminds me of Dallas so much. If he doesn’t get off everything and take care of himself then he will not be around much longer. Wait and watch. If he keeps going at this level for 5 more years something tragic will happen to this young man

He owes nobody an explanation. He doesn’t feel right or look right. Take a long break from the drugs. A legit break. Fuck the Arnold. Take a long drug free break and recharge your batteries.

It would be fascinating to see a body language expert assess Matt Jansen's body language in this video.

Imagine any athelete before the NBA final championship or NFL superbowl get to the finals to quit, then say b/c my body needs to relax & chill. I can't with some of these modern-day athletes these days.

Nick was one of the favorites to finished 7th this year. Lmao, his ego is took big to take that so he just quit instead of being embarassed on stage.

that chaos theory is silly

He should fire Matt and go with Chad Nichols, he knows how to break the plateu...😅

Might be a good thing. If he could brand like Rich Piana did he could be on top of the world but it does suck to not see him compete. He's fkn amazing. God bless him.

someone said "nicks belly looks like he could be a mall santa" and now i can't unsee it...

Heath is most important..
