In a recent interview “The Mutant” Nick Walker stated that he did not like to do so many guest posing appearances. His take was based on the fact that bodybuilders that do these appearances are oftentimes in the offseason and do not look their best. He also talked about how people gave him a lot of crap for his midsection and how he didn’t think it was necessary for bodybuilders to get on stage and do this kind of work. He then tried to make it seem like an industry-wide thing, by stating that 8 out of 10 times there would be distention in the midsections of bodybuilders getting on stage to guest pose.
He also talked about eating in the off-season. He pointed to the wrath of the fans when it came to their favorite competitors getting onstage and not being in contest condition. And I thought this was interesting because here we have a bodybuilder who aspires to be Mr Olympia, who is considered a top contender [on paper], and somebody who is a major draw with fans all around the world. I look at how he looked in Pittsburgh this year and last year and it sort of starts to make a little bit of sense. I think it’s very interesting that Walker feels the need to make it about all top competitors. That whole “8x out of 10x” is bullshit. When did Dexter Jackson, Gustavo Badell, or Kai Greene look like **** when they guest posed? They may not have been in contest shape, but they took their guest posing appearances seriously. The fans only get pissed when a guy looks like trash on stage. Let’s not get it twisted. Nick is telling a half-truth and hoping no one will call him out for it. This is TEXTBOOK Nick Walker.
