Jay Cutler believes Nick Walker’s career will continue to take off from here.
There are certain figures in bodybuilding that draw plenty of attention when they speak. Jay Cutler is certainly one of those names. Recently, the legendary bodybuilder spoke out and praised the ability of Nick Walker following his victory at the 2021 Arnold Classic.
Walker burst onto the scene as a prospect with a high ceiling. This came to fruition when he won the 2021 New York Pro and the Arnold Classic last weekend. Walker will head into the Olympia with plenty of confidence and momentum. Cutler believes that Walker is destined for a strong performance on the biggest stage in bodybuilding.
“He’s taking the steps dude. He’s won New York, the same year Arnold Classic, and he’s going to go to the Olympia and he’s probably going to be in the top five. I mean, not many guys have been able to do that,” Cutler said.
“I think Nick could be second. I think he could land second, I think he could land third. Can he win it? I can’t say no. Depends on how the other guys show up, but until we see him standing next to Bonac, and Curry, and Hadi Choopan, and Ramy, you don’t know.”
Jay Cutler built a strong career for himself by winning on the biggest stages. He finished with three-straight Arnold Classic victories from 2002-2004. He is a four-time Olympia champion with six second-place finishes at the event.
Nick Walker is in the midst of what could be one of the best first years in the history of the sport. Walker has all of the tools to perform on the Olympia stage. He is a mass monster with great conditioning. Walker displays all necessary assets to compete against the other tp competitors in the world.
Cutler sees the potential in Walker and acknowledges what he has already accomplished. Parlay this with his immense confidence and there could be a special performance coming up.
“What I like about his approach, he doesn’t say why he’s going to beat so and so, because they’re missing this or that. He just says ‘Hey, I’m that good,’ which I have no problem. He’s got some pretty knockout shots.”
“I don’t know is Walker can be a lot better, but he’s already calling out Ramy… He said winter doesn’t happen in Orlando, so he’s already ready,” Cutler said.
The 2021 Olympia will take place from Oct. 7-10 in Orlando. All of the top competitors will be there and this includes Walker. There are high expectations for him heading into the event and many believe he will live up to the hype.
