Upcoming Competitions

He noted:As of January 2025, Fitzwater reported weighing 269 pounds, his heaviest and most comfortable physique to date. His objective for the season is to ascend into the top three at the Mr. Olympia competition, building upon his fourth-place finish in 2024."I know Nick was about 20 pounds heavier on stage than me in New York. That puts it in perspective. There's obviously more muscle there but how much of that is in the waist versus in the actual muscle bellies?"
