I’m a bodybuilder who transforms into ‘The Mutant’ – I’m unrecognisable when I’m not crushing weights in the gym
A BODYBUILDER who can transform into 'The Mutant' is completely unrecognisable when he is not crushing weights at the gym.
Nick "the Mutant" Walker, 28, became a professional bodybuilder after his incredible mass earned him his pro card at the NPC North American Championships in 2020.
The YouTuber star, however, who boasts thousands of followers on social media, looks totally different when he's not at the gym.
In an interview with Generation Iron Fitness & Bodybuilding Network, he seems like a different person in a white tank top and glasses.
Nick recently competed in Mr Olympia 2022 and finished third behind Hadi Choopan and Derek Lunsford.
The bodybuilder who often shares glimpses of his life with his 1.2 million Instagram followers, posted about the result: “Wanted to bring a different style routine for ya instead of my regular most muscular shots.
"I think mission accomplished here. This Olympia was special one for me.
"As bad as I want to win because I’m so competitive by nature. This was a win for me in so many ways for that I’m beyond grateful."
The star came in sixth during his debut at the competition last year but he later took home the Arnold Classic Championship.
The bodybuilding star was even compared to one of his idols, six-times Olympia champion Dorian Yates.
Speaking to the outlet about the comments he's received, he said he was "humbled by the comparison."
He said: "It's very humbling, it's just a great feeling to be compared to guys of that calibre.
"Dorian Yates is one of my favourite bodybuilders, I watched him growing up so to be able to be compared to someone like him is an amazing feeling, it's really cool."
Explaining how he manages to maintain his physique, Nick says that unlike other bodybuilders he is extremely careful of his diet and does not splurge on big cheat meals.
He monitors his weight regularly and tweaks his food intake accordingly.
