He also thinks Jay is the greatest to have ever done it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\">\n<p>\u00a0\u201cIn my opinion, you know, Jay Cutler is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Even though he only had four Mr. O titles, Jay Cutler is all-around just the GOAT. The way he was able to hide all his weaknesses and everything else, that\u2019s what a champion is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cutler thought highly of Nick too, <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/jay-cutler-nick-walker-land-second\/\">saying ahead of the 2021 Olympia that the rookie could place second<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for any other bodybuilder he\u2019s looked up to, it\u2019s without a doubt <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/?s=dorian+yates\">six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates<\/a>.\u00a0If he could compete against any legend, it would be \u201cThe Shadow\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"insane-leg-veins\">Insane Leg Veins<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps Nick Walker\u2019s insane, bulging calf veins got just as much attention as did he after his Arnold Classic win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/?s=arnold+schwarzenegger\">Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a> pointed out the leg veins during Nick\u2019s posing routine.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\">\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the story with his veins on the calves in the front? I\u2019ve never seen that before. There\u2019s definitely something going on there, it\u2019s a little bit too thick those veins. I would definitely have those checked out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/?s=dave+palumbo\">Dave Palumbo<\/a> of RX Muscle did a little education segment on the topic. But in a nutshell, Walker has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health-topics\/varicose-veins\">varicose, also called spider veins<\/a>. Common in the legs and largely genetic, this condition is caused by weak or damaged walls or valves in the veins.<\/p>\n<p>Because veins have one-way valves that open and close to keep blood flowing to the heart, damaged or weak valves in the veins can cause pooling or backflow and as a result, swollen and large, twisted veins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bodybuilding certainly doesn\u2019t help as training causes increased pressure in the legs. However, oftentimes varicose veins are purely a cosmetic issue but in some cases can cause discomfort or lead to more serious problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s calf veins don\u2019t seem to be an issue at the moment but there are procedures to take care of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"BKpAgMPfRag\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nick Walker&amp;apos;s Veins: The REAL Story &amp; Dispelling Myths!\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BKpAgMPfRag?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"additional-information\">Additional Information<\/h2>\n<p>The story of Nick Walker has been an incredible and inspiring one, to say the least.
