Look, who is aware of who Nick Walker will work with subsequent? Earlier than we begin speaking about who the following individual may be, we now have larger dialog to fry. This text isn’t a lot about who Nick’s new coach might be, however extra so on why coaches ought to in all probability steer clear from this man. Now greater than ever, I imagine The Mutant cursed out on these two followers. Identical 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 appearing very infantile as of late. I imply even the way in which he let Wilkes go is so immature. Is that this man actually speculated 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 staff. 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 realize, Nick has me blocked. I met him one and just one time. This was on the 2022 Pure Nutritional vitamins Epic Block Get together in Ozone Park, NY. After 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 gave the impression to be receptive and we spoke forwards and backwards a bit. However when he met me, he warned me to “maintain issues optimistic.” Maintain issues optimistic?
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 form of documentation. He actually unfollowed him and eliminated the man from his followers. Who does that? And the man had taken complete duty 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 earth. He even had the audacity, based on Ivan Bodybuilding’s present, to say he was sad together with his look in Pittsburgh, too. PITTSBURGH, TOO? Is he loopy?
Pittsburgh was Nick’s finest look ever. I imply, ever! And Wilkes was a part of that. However I suppose Nick thinks he’s acquired far more potential and Wilkes isn’t the man to attract it out. Maybe in Nick’s thoughts he’ll ultimately 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 acquired Derek and Hadi locked in a stalemate. I believe each Samson and Nick must work for pricey life simply to remain within the High 6. May Nick have been higher? Certain, however he has no aesthetics to talk of. How does a coach repair that? After which there’s that intestine.
Nick Walker appears bloated! He could not have the stereotypical bubblegut simply but, however he’s nicely on his method. 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 prefer 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 following individual he works with.
What’s ironic is that Kyle talked about this on the wildly common Unracked Podcast. Apparently he had labored with Nick about 3 years in the past and acquired burned again then as nicely. I knew they labored collectively however I didn’t know that he acquired 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 buddy to him, however ultimately, it was the identical previous usual.
We’ve all the time heard that it’s a nasty concept to get into enterprise with household and mates. However numerous occasions it’s household and mates that may stick their neck out for you. It’s household and mates that may by no means flip their again on you. And perhaps Kyle thought that this time round Nick was going to be a greater buddy. Hear, it’s one factor in the event that they don’t work collectively, however there’s a solution to go about parting the connection. There’s a method about being an expert. And Nick Walker leaves quite a bit 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 food plan, if he saved second-guessing his coach, then how a lot blame does this coach really bear? I believe it’s the coach taking 100% of the duty in a roundabout way, form, or kind, that coddles Walker. Individuals have to cease coddling this man. He’s not a child, he doesn’t want particular remedy, he’s only a gigantic bodybuilder with an especially large ego. And sadly it appears like he’s an absolute ache within the ass to work with.
Now, everyone’s going to be speaking about who Nick’s subsequent coach might be, however on the finish of the day, I don’t imagine Nick will be Mr Olympia given the standard of rivals vying for that prestigious title as we converse. May he transfer up a putting or two? Most likely, 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 likely to imagine the followers much more than I imagine The Mutant. Not solely is Nick a bullshiter, however I believe he’s a liar. I believe he lies fairly a bit. And the fact of the matter is the following 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’d need some assurances earlier than working with a Karen like Nick Walker.
As all the time, I depart 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 might be?
