Nick Walker Targets Third New York Pro Victory for Olympia Qualification​

Nick Walker has officially confirmed his entry into the 2025 New York Pro, scheduled for May 17th at the Marriott at Glenpointe in Teaneck, New Jersey. After a razor-close second-place finish to Derek Lunsford at the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro, Walker wasted no time pivoting his focus. His goal is clear: secure his Olympia qualification and become the first-ever bodybuilder to win the New York Pro three times (2021, 2024, 2025).

Recapping the Pittsburgh Pro: Walker vs. Lunsford – A Battle for the Ages​

At the Pittsburgh Pro, the Men’s Open division delivered one of the most intense showdowns of the year. The final scores revealed a tie between Walker and Lunsford, only broken by a sudden-death tiebreaker during finals posing comparisons. While Lunsford edged out the win, Walker’s performance was hailed as his best physique to date, showcasing undeniable mass, balance, and conditioning.

“I presented probably my best package to date,” Walker reflected in a post-show statement on Instagram.

Despite the close loss, Walker praised the event organizers and expressed pride in the effort he and his coach Kyle put into the prep. The Mutant is now aiming to carry that same peak physique — or even better — to New Jersey.

History on the Line: Going for the New York Pro Hat Trick​

With two New York Pro titles already under his belt, Walker is looking to make history as a three-time winner — something no other competitor has achieved. His declaration on social media was loud and clear:

“I’m coming to get my Olympia qualification, and I’m coming to be the first person to win three New York Pros and have three rings.”

Walker’s participation raises the competitive stakes dramatically. Not only is his Olympia qualification on the line, but his legacy as one of the most dominant pros of his era is also in play.

New York Pro 2025: The Anticipated Lineup and Surprises to Watch​

As of now, the official IFBB Pro League has not released the complete competitor list for the 2025 New York Pro. However, confirmed names include:

• Nick Walker – 2021 & 2024 NY Pro Champion
• Regan Grimes – 2023 Europa Championships Winner

Grimes is also vying for Olympia qualification, and many fans are speculating whether Derek Lunsford may make a surprise entry to settle the score with Walker once again.

The contest serves as one of the premier Olympia qualifiers on the East Coast, and with Walker's entry, the anticipation is sky-high.

Public and Media Reactions: High Expectations and Criticism​

Walker’s decision to compete in New York just days after Pittsburgh has drawn both admiration and skepticism. Critics like Shawn Ray have predicted that Walker will “run out of gas” and be “mentally defeated.” Yet Walker appears unfazed, using the doubt as fuel for what could become his defining victory of the season.

Nick Walker's Road to Olympia: Redemption and Determination​

With the Olympia approaching later this year, Walker is under pressure to prove that he belongs on the biggest stage after missing the event in recent years. His Pittsburgh showing silenced many critics, but a third NY Pro win would solidify his place at the top of the sport once again.

If Walker emerges victorious, he won't just qualify — he'll do it in historic fashion.
