Nick Walker\u2019s mission for redemption is officially underway. On Dec. 29, 2025, he discussed his prep for the 2026 Arnold Classic as he aims to secure a second title at the prestigious event.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite momentum ahead of Olympia, the two-day show did not go as planned for Nick Walker<\/a>. He lacked his usual pop, and his conditioning wasn\u2019t as sharp as in previous appearances. After dropping to sixth place, he and his ex-coach explained that they mistimed his peak<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walker decided to move on without a coach and immediately entered the Arnold Classic. He won the contest back in 2021<\/a>. However, if he hopes to become a two-time champ, he\u2019ll have to get through surging contenders Hadi Choopan<\/a>, Chinedu Andrew \u201cJacked\u201d Obiekea<\/a>, and Martin Fitzwater<\/a>. In his latest YouTube video, he shared his thoughts on the road ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the video, Walker checked in 10 weeks from competing and revealed he weighs 284 pounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we are 10 weeks out from the Arnold Classic. It is going extremely, extremely well. I am very happy with the way I\u2019m looking,\u201d he shared. \u201cOverall, things are good. I\u2019m 284 pounds right now. I\u2019m literally only up 14 pounds from the Olympia. I perfected the rebound. I didn\u2019t do any cheat meals.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He said his end goal is to claim gold in Ohio, but more than anything, he wants to present a physique he\u2019s proud of:\u00a0<\/p>\n
