Even two weeks after the conclusion of the Arnold Classic, there is still a lot of discussion about champion Samson Dauda as well as runner-up Nick Walker. Prime Time Muscle hosts Tim Wilkins, Terrick El Guindy, and Chris Cormier focused more on Walker in their most recent episode, with El Guindy praising \u201cthe Mutant\u201d for his ability to improve the shape of his physique<\/a>, even though he placed second to Dauda.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s an unstoppable, undeniable force,\u201d the co-host and pro judge said emphatically. \u201cHe keeps moving up, and don\u2019t sleep on him. He keeps telling all of us that he\u2019s going to be Mr. Olympia and by the way things are going, this guy might actually do it.\u201d<\/p>\n Cormier noted that Walker isn\u2019t the first man to compete for the biggest titles without a perfectly proportioned physique, but he noticed Walker putting in the work, and he feels that has been a difference in how keeps getting better.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s getting better with the training. He\u2019s getting better with the prep, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s doing \u2013 finding himself and looking for ways to get better in the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n Walker placed third in the 2022 Mr. Olympia behind champion Hadi Choopan<\/a> and runner-up Derek Lunsford, but he beat two past Mr. Olympia winners \u2013 Brandon Curry and Mamdouh Elssbiay, who finished fourth and fifth, respectively. According to the hosts, Walker expressed that he felt he should\u2019ve placed ahead of Lunsford, who was making his first appearance at the Olympia in the Men\u2019s Open. El Guindy thinks Walker will use that as motivation to get even better as the 2023 Olympia in Orlando, FL approaches.<\/p>\n \u201cNick Walker is a crazy, wild dog, He\u2019s going to come after (Lunsford).\u201d<\/p>\n The hosts had a lot more to say about the 27-year-old superstar.
