\n\u201cYou said if I\u2019m anywhere near 300 pounds I won\u2019t be top five?\u201d Dauda told Cicherillo. \u201cI wasn\u2019t watching your show. People sent it to me. Bob, your mouth is getting bigger each time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome Olympia Saturday, I\u2019m going to stand right in your face and say what was that? Damn right [I\u2019m 300 lbs or over],\u201d Dauda added.\u00a0\u201cThese days people seem to do a lot more talking than actual working.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be the last man standing, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Walker explained that he drowned out the social media noise ahead of the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFirst thing is first, I had to go back to the drawing board. Putting my head down and working hard, and not caring about anything anymore. I stopped caring what people say about me. I went as far as blocking the social media bullshit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho cares what people have to say? That resonated very hard with me through the past years. I feel like I\u2019m back to my old self, and I feel like this is my Mr. Olympia to win,\u201d said Walker.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
He also called out Cicherillo for predicting his placement:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe thought you could do a high as fourth,\u201d said Cicherillo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re still low-balling me,\u201d Walker replied. \u201cI want that title more than anything in the world right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
According to \u201cThe Mutant,\u201d no one will outmuscle, outcondition, or outpose him onstage:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDon\u2019t forget, I tightened up my waist too. I think it will be [my best]. I don\u2019t think anyone will outmuscle me, outcondition me, outpose me, now that I fixed my waist, I\u2019m going to truly dominate the stage, and that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m going to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s not [Andrew\u2019s turn],\u201d he said. \u201cI will be the last one standing on that stage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Jacked made it clear that it\u2019s his turn to reign atop the Mr. Olympia mountain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cListen, I\u2019m just taking it one step at a time and climbing the ladder; that\u2019s it. When I reach the top is when I reach it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cConsistent improvements, of course, speak for themselves,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s my turn. Bob, it\u2019s my turn. After me, whoever comes next year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
