However, he mistimed his peak in Vegas when it mattered most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, he settled for a sixth-place finish, leaving fans unsure of his next move. In March, he jumped into the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2026-arnold-classic-results-all-divisions\/\">2026 Arnold Classic<\/a> and claimed silver behind <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/andrew-jacked-profile\/\">Andrew Jacked<\/a> (Chinedu Andrew Obiekea). The performance gave Walker a confidence boost, which he leveraged in <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2026-tampa-pro-results\/\">Tampa<\/a> to earn his Olympia qualification. Looking ahead, Bannout is adamant that \u201cThe Mutant\u201d could find himself fighting for gold in his next outing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"samir-bannout-says-nick-walkers-critics-are-making-him-stronger-ahead-of-2026-mr-olympia\">Samir Bannout Says Nick Walker\u2019s Critics Are Making Him Stronger Ahead of 2026 Mr. Olympia<\/h2>\n<p>During the latest <em>Muscle Maturity Podcast<\/em>, Bannout stressed that Walker\u2019s critics have only made him stronger ahead of Olympia:\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-5\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.

All of these things are making him stronger\u2026 It\u2019s making him believe. The only thing that I saw about Nick Walker that wasn\u2019t good was he needs to tan his face a little bit more.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He predicted Walker would be in the winner\u2019s circle at the Olympia \u2018without a doubt\u2019:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI really predict that he\u2019s definitely in the winner\u2019s circle without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cHe\u2019s a warrior. I am really happy for him. Honestly, I predicted it, and yeah, he\u2019s going to be in the winner\u2019s circle at the Olympia, whether they like it or not. All these people that\u2019s running their mouths talking trash about Nick\u2026 I kind of don\u2019t like those negative bullshitters. I can\u2019t stand people who are negative.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, Bannout addressed Walker\u2019s midsection criticism, adding that his waist looks smaller and his abs look more visible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNick Walker is not a Steve Reeves. His body is Nick Walker\u2019s body. His midsection, they complained about, his stomach. Look at this, his waist is smaller, his abs look clearer, he came out there, was confident, and he won the show [in Tampa] deservedly without any complaint.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bodybuilding veterans have been vocal about Walker\u2019s chances at the sport\u2019s biggest show.
