OFFICIAL: NICK WALKER IS THE 2026 MR. OLYMPIA!

Official IFBB Pro League scorecard:

1. Nick Walker — Winner, 18 points
2. Samson Dauda — Second, 20 points
3. Derek Lunsford — Third, 24 points
4. Andrew Jacked — Fourth, 40 points

“I don’t think anyone will outmuscle me, outcondition me, outpose me, now that I fixed my waist.”

When host Bob Cicherillo suggested Nick Walker could finish as high as fourth, Nick said Bob was still underestimating him. Nick made it clear that he is aiming for the Mr. Olympia title, not fourth place.

Nick also disagreed with Andrew Jacked’s claim that it was “his turn.” Nick believes he will be the last man standing on the Olympia stage. This is Nick’s prediction, not a result.

Derek confirmed he is injury-free and confidently predicted consecutive victories:

“Three-time Mr. Olympia champion, four-time Mr. Olympia champion.”

1. Being injury-free gives Derek an important advantage during the final depletion and posing stages.
2. His back detail and overall completeness remain championship weapons, but the lineup’s superior size could make the comparisons extremely close.

OLYMPIA PRESS CONFERENCE
Three physiques. One stage.
Who impressed you the most?

Just days from the 2026 Mr. Olympia, Nick Walker is looking massive, dense and seriously conditioned.

💪 MUSCLE FACTORY ANALYSIS

• MASS & DENSITY: Nick Walker is showing his trademark muscle thickness, with huge delts, chest, arms and extremely dense quads.

• CONDITIONING: The deep leg separation and vascularity already look impressive. If he brings this combination of size, fullness and sharper conditioning to the Olympia stage, his physique will be very interesting to compare with the rest of the lineup.

Dennis believes Nick Walker could defeat Andrew Jacked, although he admitted Andrew may be bringing his best-ever physique.
