Look, who is aware of who Nick Walker will work with subsequent? Earlier than we begin speaking about who the subsequent individual may be, we now have greater dialog to fry. This text isn’t a lot about who Nick’s new coach will probably be, however extra so on why coaches ought to most likely steer clear from this man. Now greater than ever, I consider The Mutant cursed out on these two followers. Similar to Kyle Wilkes, Walker’s ex-coach states, Nick tends to make irrational selections and act overly emotional.
To cite the well-known YouTuber IvanBodybuilding, Nick is performing very infantile as of late. I imply even the way in which he let Wilkes go is so immature. Is that this man actually presupposed to be a job mannequin? He’s a 3x NY Professional champion, a former Arnold champion, and a present High 6 Olympian, however he lacks the professionalism to have grown-up conversations with members of his group. Oh yeah, you haven’t even heard the tip of the iceberg. So let’s dive into motion, however earlier than I say what I really feel I have to, let me lay my playing cards on the desk.
As most of you recognize, Nick has me blocked. I met him one and just one time. This was on the 2022 Pure Nutritional vitamins Epic Block Celebration in Ozone Park, NY. Once I met him, he was cautiously good, however he was additionally paranoid. I don’t know if he thought after shaking my hand that Ashton Kutcher was going to spring into the room with a movie crew – or – if he’s similar to that on a regular basis, however his demeanor was wild. The man appeared overly prudent to even speak to me. I had no concept I used to be that harmful. Up till that time, I had despatched a number of Instagram audio messages giving him my suggestions and really humbly providing up some unsolicited recommendation. He appeared to be receptive and we spoke forwards and backwards a bit. However when he met me, he warned me to “preserve issues constructive.” Preserve issues constructive?
In any occasion, the primary time I posted an article he didn’t like – that wasn’t even about him – he blocked me. And that’s precisely alongside the traces of what he did to Wilkes. He didn’t fireplace him at a gathering. He didn’t present him with any kind of documentation. He actually unfollowed him and eliminated the man from his followers. Who does that? And the man had taken whole accountability for a miscalculation on the O the place Walker completed sixth. Personally, I had him at seventh and Brandon Curry at sixth, however Walker nonetheless made High 6 on the planet. He even had the audacity, in response to Ivan Bodybuilding’s present, to say he was sad along with his look in Pittsburgh, too. PITTSBURGH, TOO? Is he loopy?
Pittsburgh was Nick’s greatest look ever. I imply, ever! And Wilkes was a part of that. However I assume Nick thinks he’s received far more potential and Wilkes isn’t the man to attract it out. Maybe in Nick’s thoughts he’ll finally win the Mr Olympia. I’m right here to inform him, he’s not. As Fitzwater will get higher and higher and Andrew Jacked is pounding on the door, you’ve received Derek and Hadi locked in a stalemate. I feel each Samson and Nick should work for pricey life simply to remain within the High 6. May Nick have been higher? Positive, however he has no aesthetics to talk of. How does a coach repair that? After which there’s that intestine.
Nick Walker appears to be like bloated! He might not have the stereotypical bubblegut simply but, however he’s nicely on his manner. And don’t give me digestion points. That’s an HGH intestine. And if he doesn’t use it, then I’m completely mistaken, however that’s what it appears to be like wish to me. So perhaps Nick gained’t work with Matt once more, perhaps he gained’t work with Kyle, both. I sincerely really feel dangerous for the subsequent individual he works with.
What’s ironic is that Kyle talked about this on the wildly widespread Unracked Podcast. Apparently he had labored with Nick about 3 years in the past and received burned again then as nicely. I knew they labored collectively however I didn’t know that he received burned. And for some motive he thought now was completely different. He had a sense, perhaps he thought Nick was going to be a greater good friend to him, however ultimately, it was the identical outdated standard.
We’ve all the time heard that it’s a nasty concept to get into enterprise with household and pals. However a number of occasions it’s household and pals that can stick their neck out for you. It’s household and pals that can by no means flip their again on you. And perhaps Kyle thought that this time round Nick was going to be a greater good friend. Pay attention, it’s one factor in the event that they don’t work collectively, however there’s a approach to go about parting the connection. There’s a manner about being knowledgeable. And Nick Walker leaves rather a lot to be desired in that capability.
And what’s to say that it was all on Kyle? What’s to say that Nick wasn’t following Kyle’s protocol to the t? As a result of if he wasn’t, if he cheated on his weight loss plan, if he saved second-guessing his coach, then how a lot blame does this coach truly bear? I feel it’s the coach taking 100% of the accountability ultimately, form, or type, that coddles Walker. Individuals must cease coddling this man. He’s not a child, he doesn’t want particular remedy, he’s only a gigantic bodybuilder with a particularly enormous ego. And sadly it feels like he’s an absolute ache within the ass to work with.
Now, all people’s going to be speaking about who Nick’s subsequent coach will probably be, however on the finish of the day, I don’t consider Nick could be Mr Olympia given the standard of rivals vying for that prestigious title as we converse. May he transfer up a putting or two? In all probability, however I’m additionally not going to say definitively. I really feel very dangerous for poor Kyle and the way in which that Nick fired him. It was very public, very chilly, and extremely unprofessional.
And like I stated earlier within the article, I don’t assume anybody’s off limits. I get that Nick is completely flabbergasted that any media outlet would report that he’s cursing out followers, but when the followers stated it occurred, I are inclined to consider the followers much more than I consider The Mutant. Not solely is Nick a bullshiter, however I feel he’s a liar. I feel he lies fairly a bit. And the truth of the matter is the subsequent coach that works with him had higher get a contract of some type as a result of getting fired the way in which that Nick fired Kyle wouldn’t make me need to work with him. I’m not a coach, I’m only a author, but when I had been a coach, I might need some assurances earlier than working with a Karen like Nick Walker.
As all the time, I go away the ultimate phrase to you, the loyal readers of IronMag. What say you? Do you approve of how Nick fired Kyle? Who do you assume Nick’s subsequent coach will probably be? I look ahead to studying your suggestions within the feedback. Please be sure you copy and paste a hyperlink to this text on all of your social media feeds.
