Congrats to Nick and Terrence!
Ronnie’s speech was amazing
If you watched, 6.akim 5.sergio 4.ian 3. Justin 2. Cucklo 1.nick....... Ian was soo offfffff..... Sergio got better over time... like idk wuttsup... 😐
I can't wait to see nick and hadi matching up.
@@tinyturbo317 Ian only won by two points so it was close. I think Steve's conditioning sucked and Ian might not have been 100 percent but I agree with the judges.
Cucklos back are too soft if he improves his back he can beat ian all day
“He’s injecting himself into the conversation” You made me almost crash my car by laughing so hard😂
Hyper responder 💉💉
I don’t think you should be watching you tube whiles driving 😂
.
He's pinning his hopes on the Olympia now...
@@jonoshea309 ll
watching nick tear up after winning it clearly shows how much this means to him and how much he has sacrificed to get to this stage! a well deserved victory to our champ
go WALKER NATION!!!!
Nick earned a ton of respect tonight . He improved from his last contest and pretty much dominated everyone . If nick keeps this momentum up he’s gonna crack top 5 at the Olympia .
It would have been better if he actually beat the champ and not just other new guys
Hadi brandon Ramy bonac would all smoke him So would James hollingshead nick is t gonna crack top 6 this year
@@dantethunderstone2118 not sure about Bonac, the nick frame is a lot, I mean, a lot bigger
@@dantethunderstone2118 Nick will take 3rd at least
Nick is Top 2 it will be between him and Ramy!! Mark my words
I just hope Nick stays healthy and safe, for the fact on how young he is and how fast his muscle maturity is advancing , wouldn't want another Dallas Mccarver scenario God forbid.
Exactly what I thought - and sad that Nick (Strength & Power) doesn’t “like” your comment too.
Never gonna happen. If you look at him at New York pro compared to this he literally already has gained another probably inch in his waistline and it’s not even a couple months later. He is gonna be a bowling ball in 2 years and look like a vintage roelly only less dense and worse aesthetics
@@caseywrightsel4277 that's actually an accurate spot on analysis, the blocky waist isn't going to shrink as you grow more, especially in offseason, plus the breathing is so laboured on stage just to try and keep the stomach in during poses.
@@kinetikfreak5508 and his life expectancy is probably capped at 50.
@@bernardjansen6205 yeah, sad reality really this pro bodybuilding life, once the kidneys, liver and heart are no longer in the game it's only a matter of time, I've seen it with my own eyes with so many young competitors, scary as hell to witness such devastation on precious health and life.
From the moment Nick walked on stage he was controlling his mid section perfectly, which I think was what separated him from the competition.
Kuclo’s wife was very salty and unprofessional in response to his placing. And she kept being unprofessional into Nick’s interview.
Congratulations to Nick, I hope all of the pros see his conditioning, posing and presentation. It was too much for all of them, he was a level above.
Everyone else was fighting for Second Place basically, as it was when Ronnie held the Mr. Olympia title during his reign.
Y’all remember when people really compared Blessing to Nick HA😂😂😂😂
Good old days 🤡🤣
It's a joke😂😂
Lol
That was for social media BS and entertainment
Iain looks happy for Nick.
Logan looks happy for Terrence.
That's what we love to see among the competitors.
Remember when we were talking about Nick vs. Blessing? Seems like a lifetime ago.
S/O to Nick, he earned the win. Steve had 0 muscle separation, and Akim looks like he was holding back for the Olympia.
That’s it dude! No separation, terrible abs, great size, but not enough to beat Ian
absolutely...other than nick it seems to me everyone was just off
@@mrvivekkumar7692 Same here bro....it was Nick and a water show.....
The Olympia in 2 weeks. Lol holding back. He wasn’t ready bro.
Exactly my point Steve kuclo doesn't have any separations. He was so lucky to get third spot
Bro. The fact that Nick had made improvements every single show and continues to push harder shows he’s doing what needs to be done. I’m not even surprised at the results
People that are not in this sport dont know how much Sacrifice it takes to get to this level
I can’t believe how young Nick is and how amazingly developed his muscles are.
10+ years of roids, maybe 12+
His abs were even better then all of them
Wait till u find out how unhealthy his heart is.
Nick has the eye of the tiger. Calls his shot effortlessly swishes it while holding the arm up while simultaneously sounding humble and likeable. MODERN DAY JAY. Hes what jay has turned into after retirement more likeable and social but Nick does it while competing.
The perfect Arnold classic representative!
You nailed it, with the *modern day Jay" bro!
Nick's posing reminded me of Big Ramy's posing in 2020 Mr O
Without shaking, and without breaking a sweat till last set of mandatories !
@Ncdcfan if you think he will beat hadi,ramy, and brandon on their game? highly doubt it
I observed him posing with the other guys, he wasn't breathing as heavily. Practice makes perfect!
Nick didn’t just beat everybody, he slaughtered them.
He didnt beat the Champ....
@@elroyjetson6380 he is the champ now…..
@Samoht Still Lives!!!! Lol word
Nick Walker, and James fex Lewis
Have a similar body, including Phil heath, but Phil have the better one. Not so far off thou
Solid win for nick
Honestly I called Ian at 2nd. I think he was a bit more conditioned and his midsection was tighter than Steve’s
I thought Ians mid section was off. I had hime 3rd, but I'm not a judge, thats body building, so subjective.
@Stock Raising u didn’t watch any of the Arnold did u, akim looked awful he should have been even lower
What a history written, he is surely bodybuilding supernova. What a performance mannnnnnn. An absoluty surprise to all tough & one of the bests bodybuilders in IFBB today. Great work Nick Walker , he truely deserved the place. Bow down to Nick Walker.
I was surprised Logan won best poser over Terrance, that being said Logan’s posing routine was very good and made me a fan
I thought Peter mohlnir posed great too.
@@daveyadict_ Molner was overlooked I think
Logan should have won yhough
@@goodfoodgoodmood92 lol he got third. Def shouldnt of won
I think Logan got the award because it was Arnold's routine he did. Along with his physique favoring Arnie's a lot. Wesley has that same resemblance but he's not a threat for the CP Title as of now.
Nick compared to the other guys... He was on his own level of muscle and conditioning! it was almost as if Dorian had landed in the 70s. He's the future of bodybuilding and makes the sport exciting.
😂😂😂😂😂😅😂😂😂
🤣
😂
Mhmm.... No? 😉
Dude put down the crack pipe
Let us see how he looks against Ramy, Brandon and Hadi at Olympia.
Nick Walker already walked over a lot of seasoned Bodybuilder in the industry
i can see him beating Brandon not Hadi, which is already impressive
I reckon hadi and ramy are a tier above him because of their shape. Unless they come in off nick has no chance. I think a fair call for nick would be 3rd-6th. Its not whether he comes off its whether the better structured guys come on
in my opinion he will get 4th at the olympia 1ramy 2hadi 3brandon 4nick , 4th place for first olympia is insane and next year hes gonna be a threat to win it
Hadi and ramy are gonna be hard to beat, Brandon is fs beatable
If no legs Brandon, and watery soft bubble gut Phil Heath can place top 3, why the hell can’t Nick who brings the whole package beat them? 🤣
Now Ramy, if he comes in even a little off, it’s lights out, he’s gonna have to come in at 110% cause the mutant isn’t playing any games
He knocked out NY Pro, and Arnold Classic now it’s time for the Olympia
Nick is on the money every single show. Probs not only to him but also his coach. They seem to bring the best possible package every dang show.
Nick is a legit real threat to everyone in the open division. If his physique is on this level at the Olympia then he is guaranteed top 4.
With Nick being so young and massive, I'm concerned if he's maxed out his physique for growth. Brandon continues to make improvements each year.
It is a much deeper field at the O. He could make top 4 though, but he could also place as low as 8th. It will be interesting and I hope he does well. He has had a phenomenal year.
" he injected himself into the conversation, no pun intended" LoL 🤣👍
Honestly, I can see the detail with Ian more. I think his conditioning is becoming so consistent, and that's what's winning him the shows. Steve has great shape, size, etc. He does lack detail however.
Iain looked dry, but he also looked flat, his chest especially. He has better structure overall than Steve, but Steve looked more full and don't think his conditioning was that much worse from a detail perspective to justify dropping him a spot. I'm not really a fan of Steve, but this is a head scratcher.
@@DCJayhawk57 from the back definition is not even close, also leg size from the back cmon
@@DCJayhawk57 he lost to Ian on conditioning last time around. He needs to cut down on that size a bit and focus more on conditioning. He needs to be better conditioned than ian to beat him
@@dzeus2427 fair, but it's tit for tat.
@@vttrpersonal7329 Maybe your blind. Nick clearly out conditioned Iain with superior detail and separation while being fuller then Iain who was looking flat as usual.
Nick Walker has the makings of a varsity athlete.
*breathes in tony soprano*😂
Tell da female cousins.
Still got the nice MANNERS...
@@erikshen1107 Lady Shylock!
I don't see what the judges see with ian...I had Justin 2nd, Steve 3rd Ian 4th. How did max look? I think Logan should have won the show but he seemed happy with his placing. Nick was the clear winner...he'll get top 5 in Olympia
Congratulations Nick. Hard work and talent prevailed. On to the Olympia. I guess the Walker Wonks weren't disappointed!
He won the show at first appearance the time his stepped at Arnold stage, I was curious to know about Ian coz I thought he could be a potential runner up and happened in the final showing.
Imo, I think Iain deseved 2nd, even arnold said steves conditioning wasnt as detailed as nick, Iain might not have been 100%, but it might have been enough
I saw a recording from someone in the crowd of Iain's posing routine and he had that Dorian conditioning. It just does not translate.
If I'm Nick, I would be feeling like King Kong right now. Just unbelievable
I don’t think Nick will have a problem feeling like that. Haha
He is Godzilla 😂
So time to waste , time to inject more juice
Mini King Kong
manlet king kong
100% Nick Will be New Mr Olimpia 2021!!!!
I want to put it out there that Ruff Diesel put out an amazing speech on his mentor John Meadows and his rivalry/friendship with CBum and I thought it was beautiful. We need more camaraderie like that back in bodybuilding like in the golden era. Also Ronnie Coleman's speech was also next level tear jerking ❤
*What's up with Steve's salty wife. If you're going to take the job as a commentator, try to be unbiased and more professional. She was hating on Iain so bad it was actually funny.* 😂
Yeah I heard it. She was like “come on, let’s be honest”. Lol
She is the "wives" they always right 😅
Yeah it was super unprofessional and high-key awkward
The bag of her family was fumbled
Honestly, nobody who has athletes or
Significant others in the shows should be commentating it
For a debut, Fabian Mayr did absolutely amazing. I expect him to crush in the next years to come!
Honestly, I’ve seen him in top 4.
As it seems that Big Ramy finally has found out the formula to bring in great conditioning - he's going to win his 2nd title. And Hadi always had great conditioning and this year there're no travel issues which can prevent him from being in a great shape. So I think it's going to be Ramy in 1st, Hadi and Brandon fighting for the 2nd place, and Nick in 4. But if Nick improves even more to Olympia and Brandon and Hadi miss the mark - he can round up anywhere from 2nd to 3rd. But he can't take Big Rami when he's at 100%
He does can take Big Ramy.
@@frankcastle9877 no bro
Hadi alone can take him......... Size and symmetry........ His waist is too blocky than any of top 4 Olympians
Agreed. Rammy, Brandon, hadi, nick
Not surr if ramy, can reproduce that "secret formula" again. And even if he can, there is still other factors beside conditioning. And we don't know hoe nick looks next to ramy. Nivks hamstrings and back are capable of beating ramys back. Also nicks arms are massive and thst biceps peak.
Rany "only" has the height advantage in this case and maybe more wuads still, but i don't know if that is an advantage.
It can be very very close. I bet nick will be in the top 6 st the olmypia 100% sure. And he can ein the olympia. It is possible. Maybe ramy and nick both won't win.. Also possible. We should not forget brandon in that game also. And hadi.
Blessing watching Nick with a mouth full of pre-workout and a fist full of tears 😭
Finally a show with decent lighting
First one in a long time
Huge difference
Nick clearly destroyed this lineup. That said, doing the same to Rami, Hadi, Brandon, seems unlikely unless they all come in way off. He should do well though
Everybody doubted him for the Arnold. They words mite come bk and bite u
its crazy that hes only 27. hes absolutely insane. give him 1 or 2 years and he will be even better. future mr o here
🎯
Nick's conditioned but up against Hadi. Dont think hes going to stand out. Hadi is nuts for that
I think Nick will be top 3, and Iain top 5 at the O.
Nick bursting out in tears while raising his hand is priceless. Looks like we have ourselves a new Olympia Champ in a few years but if Ramy, Hadi and Brandon came in off this year. Nick's got the win in the bag.
All 3 will definitely not come off. Maybe 1 of them, then I see nick sliding into 3rd.
Only if brandon comes off he will slip to 4th as off Hadi and Ramy will still overwhelm Nick because of their perfect structure and mass, while curry legs are already smaller to Nick and him being off means Nick can be in top 3
@@adityaraj6336 well i agree about ramy, however i think nick has a better structure than hadi, especially for shoulders and arms, he looks superior to me than hadi, im not sure about the back poses, but i would say he has a chance of placing higher than hadi if he makes things right, but ramy its another whole story...
Brandon is overrated. Nick Walker will beat him
If someone can bring sufficient mass and conditioning while bringing a decent midsection, I can see that giving Nick trouble.
Take a shot everytime Arnold said "Calves" during the livestream.
And vaccum..and hold the pose ..🤣🤣
Chug a beer everytime Arnold said "vacuum" during the livestream.
He right tho
There we go. Congrats to all the winners!
Thoughts on kuclos wife getting emotional during the commentary? Completing unprofessional and she shouldn’t have let her emotions out there
I don't think she'll be back
@@NicksStrengthandPower tbh after that decision I dont think she wants to be back anyway, why would you?
Do you think Iain looked better than Steve?
@@austinwiseman3186 obviously the judges thought so twice. Their opinion is the only one that matters, looking good for the camera only matters on instagram
I feel like that’s a conflict of interest in the first place… having her there to commentate doesn’t make much sense to me
I think Ians detail won out over Steves size. Steves legs I think were the conditioning downfall especially
His back looked really soft too
He has no cuts, separation or striations in his physique..just faint lines and vascularity...I think it might be genetic for him
The pain/frustration in Steve’s face once they called him for third place was brutal.
And the commentary was dog water.
His condition was off in my op
His wife was salty af
The commentary was lulzy as fuk.
His wife is a classless act man. Absolutely disgusting
I thought Steve's back looked soft and lacked detail in his poses but that's just my opinion.
Terrence is such a great CHAMP getting everyone involved to pose at the end was really cool. He's really a class act.
Agreed
Nick was surprising me, what a nice job.
Hope he will be in Top 4 in the olympia....
Congrat bro....
I looked at the photos and I now have Iain in second. He takes Steve in back shots and side shots. I am a HUGE Steve fan and I had him taking second until I went pose by pose. I think Iain very well deserved to get second. He also has a little bit better shape than Steve, tighter waist.
Same here. I didn't realize the difference in conditioning between the two until the photos came out. Same with classic physique.
@@benjaminstallsmithmusic where can i find those?
The transitions of Steve were dreadful… the longer he was out there the worse and worse he looked.
Agree. Ian needs to dial in his midsection. I think a lot of his issues there are genetic though
I agree. They both looked kinda flat, but overall Iain definitely looked sharper than Steve
The lighting in this show was just beautiful.
Live stream never does Iain any justice. He always looks less conditioned when zoomed out. But if you compare the individual posing routine, its clear that Iain was in better condition than Steve.
Am... so I guess it was because of the “live stream “ that Ian has no friggin calves lol 😂 get da f outta here lol
Got to agree. I had Iain second or tied with Steve after pre-judging. They may have just wanted to do a top two comparison since they only called out four in the first callout. That would make sense and really Iain and Steve were a lot closer than everyone thought after pre-judging.
@bitnercbr I though Steve's back looked big but lacked detail. But idk maybe it was the video.
Ian was drier imo, that was close tho
@@aldohattonduran5227 How is calves related to conditioning?
Nick is a true champion, and (I hope) an indication of what's to come with the new generation of bodybuilders. It's not the 90's, not the 2000's or 2010's, but something new and exciting.
Congrats NICK, more power to you to make history.
Nick the delivery mutant guy . He delivers on his promises . He puts in the work , he transforms and gets better from each show . Next gen bodybuilders are here and coming for their respect .
I think nick is Incredibly impressive, he definitely blew me away today. That said I don’t see him beating guys like hadi branden or rami, at least not this year. Definitely will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come
Agreed... Give him 2-3 years and dude will be absolutely untouchable!
NSP driving the Nick Walker hype train since 2019!
He’s literally the person that got his name out there, no one knew about him until Nick did a video on him.
At least Nick put in the work. Unlike Cedric, who was pushed by both theLui and Nick, yet he never delivered due to his military obligations. He is just an instructor yet acts like he's on the verge of fighting a huge war.
@@keithrobinson8387 Why does logan look like he sniffs his own farts as preworkout?
Not really, NSP said last video that he is only getting on the hype train today
@@NilsMueller broo, he started reporting on him when he was still competing in the NPC and he was saying how he looked better than most pros at just an ameture level, so when he finally turned pro, NSP was all about Nick Walker, he constantly talks about only reason he hasn't predicted him to him 1. Because he's only done 3 shows! And 2. Outta respect for the veterans, but Nick walker has been showing up and showing up!
I am not a fan of Ian's physique but he was for sure more conditioned and drier than Steve Kuclo. Steve deserves 3rd
Congrats to Nick Walker on his win, but I have a concern about him, I think he's growing way to fast, I don't know what kind of gear he is on, I just don't want to see him end up like Dallas
Is it just me or does this lighting make Steve look like he got no muscle separation?
I think this happens to Steve AND Iain for whatever reason. I don’t think it gives either of their physiques a chance on a live stream. But in person it looks like it’s a different story from the pro photos.
@@3tvman5 yeah now that you mentioned it, i see it. Crazy difference b/w the live stream and the pics.
I had Iain in front of Steve the whole show. Steve is mind boggling massive, but he lacked detail everywhere. Iain is consistently in top tier condition and is being rightfully rewarded for it
Exactly!
THANK YOU. Good to know there are others with common sense.. and it is common sense because three different panels with three different set of judges have come to the same conclusion.
i thought it was kinda weird that nsp didnt comment on iains conditioning. together with nick there was no one on their level tbh and nick didnt even mention iain
@@mariushager9983 he low key hates on Iain.
@@Shm00ly i dont really get why tbh. except his chest iain is incredibly complete. whatever iain deserved that 2nd place for sure
Just saw an Instagram story of Steve’s wife going off. The score cards weren’t even close from 1st and second. I’m not sure what she’s upset about? Ian placing over Steve?... I mean it was close between them.. the judges chose Ian. At the end of the day Steve can come back and prove himself next year, if not retire
Yea she was in the commentary booth and got so mad at Dennis James when he commented that Steve might have gotten worse or Ian improved and she just went off with “no no no let’s get real”
Steve would fare better if he went to the Elite Pro. He's just not what the Pro League wants. Iain is, and I predict Iain top 5 at the O.
@@ASTRUM502 I don’t see space for Iain in the top 5. At the very best I see him at 6th after Ramy, Brandon, Hadi, Bonac, and nick walker
i love when the WIVES get into it. it's so hilarious to me
@@Aaron-rd3cd bonac has apretty bad case of gyno this year. May detract from overall physique appeal
The guy keeps improving. He looked awesome. Much deserved win for the champ.
This years Olympia
Winner: Big ramy
Runner up: Nick walker
2nd runner up: Brandon curry.
Thank u...
Hadi?
@@asfanmarkmcgwire hadi is no where their condition. Walker is next level right now
Nick has turned from a brick house into an apartment complex in less than a year props to him
and to answer your question about Ian pulling the 2nd over steve just look at the waist go down Ian got that omni-man level thickness
With him being an "apartment complex" (LOL) does he have any room left for growing, to where his proportions are blown-out?
@@robertprince2651 probably not after this he's gonna need to work on keeping the waist in check and not turn into kai greene jr
Congrats to Nick and Terrance!
Nick looked insane and that might be one of the most undeniable victories I've seen in a long time, if not ever.
From what I could tell Logan deserved second. I'm not even usually a huge fan but he looked really good here
We are seeing history in the makings.
Nik top 3 olympia
Nick winning the Olympia after winning the Arnold classic and another show the same year, this year will go done in history for sure!!!
Congrats to Nick. And also agree with judges decision on 2nd & 3rd....
I don't think NSP really rates Iain's strengths. Just never impressed with him. That's fine, we all see things differently. Kuclo has very poor separation, and is at least 10% less conditioned, compared to Iain. Looks pretty clear to me. Kuclo has better structure than just about anybody, but that's not winning shows right now.
I agree
Where is the separation in Iains' back, chest and shoulders then ?
Steve is worse yes but Iain is pretty much the same to me...
I love the Arnold Classic. Unfortunately, no one actually looks like Arnold.
The Classic Physique lineup was golden this year. Especially that Peter Molnar newcomer.
Arnold’s legs in this line up would have been hilarious… it’s a different open… totally different don’t compare it’s a lose lose.
Lain came in tighter and conditioned than Steve, well deserved second placing…
I truly believe that nick will be in the top 3 at the Olympia. Only competed 3 times and he’s one of the best bodybuilders in the world
it's honestly insane to me how much better Nick looks on stage versus Instagram I don't think I can say that about any other athlete in the ifbb. I would be hesitant to place betting on Nick winning this year's Olympia but I would put money on Nick winning an Olympia before he is 30 so within 3 years
Lold Jones is still insanely looking. He stands out a lot. Hope he will continue to improve.
And Nick..well deserved.
Nick has really suprised me. Doing very well for himself, pretty amazing really. I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of his physique. I really wish he had 3-4 inches of width taken off of his waist. It would make everything else appear so much more impressive. But he's bring good conditioning and a good attitude and that I'm a huge fan of.
If nicks stomach was an inch or 2 slimmer…..he’d be a future goat
More like 4 or 5 if we're talking circumference
Definitely too blocky than any of the top 4 Olympians
Winter is coming COLDER THAN EVER!
This was a great show and I’m glad we got the livestream for free! All the athletes looked great men and women alike! I just want to say that if bodybuilding would get better announcers/commentators then a lot more people would watch. Cedric and Arnold didn’t stop talking even for a minute just to let us enjoy the show and Bobs commentary is always rude. Change that and the whole show would have been better
Congratulations to Nick Walker, I am so proud & happy for him, well deserved win keep it Champ
hard earned win!!! well deserved!!! he's a true embassidor of the work ethic required to accomplish anything in life
ambassador *
Steve’s legs went flat in the night show. I Iain’s legs were much more detailed in the night show
his conditioning is off, if he came in shredded it would have been a game over in my op
What an achievement, absolutely unreal so happy for nick
He’s gonna win Mr. O within 3 years. Mark my words!!!!
Can’t wait to see Nick trying to match up with the veterans of the stage(Brandon, Ramy, Hadi, William and Roelly)
With the way things are going, Ramy and Brandon will hold him off definitely. Roelly is truly a Wild Card; Nick may take him out.
Nick will shock the world at mr.o I can imagine hin taking 2nd or 3rd place this yea
Nick may not have the best structure, but his work ethic is 110%.
I don't see Hunter as much as a threat compared to Ian IMO.
They said that Jay Cutler didn't have the best structure, but we saw what he did with that. He, too, had (still has) a great work ethic.
Agree, Nick doesn't have a great structure
No disrespect to your comment, but I don't understand what you mean, by 'his structure', are you comparing him to classic guys? Or whom are you comparing his structure to? Because nick is winning these shows based on that structure. That amount of muscle mass and conditioning. His simple out muscling these guys and comes in shredded every time. If you are saying his structure isn't pretty because of his waist, I would say that you go and relook at Ronnie Colemans years 4-8 title wins. And Ronnie Coleman is the greatest bodybuilder to ever do it.
@@adampolselli597 He battled Ronnie for years but couldn't defeat him. Only Father Time assisted Jay in winning the title in 2006.
@@kartikchary Yeah but he surely puts in hours of work in the gym; nothing but respect to him.
Watching the stream I thought Iain in 2nd was bs too, but now pausing this vid at 5:28 right when they hit the bdb, it looks like Iain is A LOT sharper than Kuclo there (compare delt definition for example). In person it may have been a big difference rightfully putting him ahead I guess
Yeah Ian was a surprise and Sergio did exactly what I though he would do. Running off daddy’s name he shouldn’t even be in a conversation. Good job Nick on the win.
A true champion. And he would be a great Mr. O, because he really love this sport, show his fans and the world his workouts, the results and stay humble. 👑
Nick is a young Jay Cutler. He’ll be a Mr. Olympia very soon. I better not hear Sergio talking smack again.
No doubt! Sergio has no legs! Very weak!
Chill bro…not very soon
He just can‘t against Ramy Hadi and Brandon
Congratulations to Nick Walker! Well deserved! He has a long way to go
However, everybody would agree there's no chance he can beat Ramy, Brandon and Hadi. A solid 4th place can be a great start!
Ian's legs from the front don't ever look very separated to me, his thighs just look like long logs
THANK U - SO HAPPY SOMEONE ELSE SEES IT
If ian wear bikini he would win
I agree. Think he's overrated as hell. No calves either of course.
YES. His physique is so fucking ugly o don’t understand how he keeps placing high.
@@samuelwhittenburg8742 - Completely agree. He didn't deserve second at all.

I can see him getting AT LEAST top 3 at the O if not taking it all
Top 4 maybe.
I said a while ago, Nick will win the Arnold and place 2nd at the Olympia...
Honestly I can see him at 4th but definitely not beating hadi or curry and definitely not ramy
@@glitchcrypto i agree with you bro, those guys are way better then nick at this point.
That‘s too much at best he will get 4.
I wasn't a Nick fan, and kept expecting the wheels to fall off his hype train. It seems I was wrong. I look forward to seeing him stand next to Ramy...
IMO ramy will take it again. Dude is bigger than Nick.
@@allenanalla2549 If Ramy and Nick come in with the same conditioning, Ramy wins every time for me. He is taller, bigger and has a better structure IMHO. If Ramy comes in off and Nick is on, it's going to be very interesting!

@@ragingstempel6116 very alligorical
I think it was funny as hell hearing Arnold talking about the veins in nicks lower legs. “The veins in his legs, they disturb me”.
