In the current bodybuilding pantheon, few names are as big as Nick Walker and Derek Lunsford. The two young athletes have stormed respective paths to the forefront of the sport, seemingly becoming titans overnight. Walker first arguably came to prominence by winning the 2021 Arnold Classic, while Lunsford, the former 212 Olympia champion<\/a> (2021), recently came in second in a debut Men’s Open performance at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. Lunsford would fall just short of beating new Mr. Olympia champion Hadi Choopan<\/a>. Moving forward, by virtue of being in the same division, the pair will inevitable butt heads on stage now and again. This reality is clearly not lost on Walker. <\/p>\n

On Jan. 19, 2023, during an episode of The Mutant and The Mouth<\/em> podcast, Walker talked about his official prospects at the upcoming 2023 Arnold Classic<\/strong> (AC) in Columbus, OH. In the process, the discussion about the Mar. 2-5, 2023, contest \u2014 which recently announced a $300,000 first-place prize<\/a> \u2014 eventually centered around Lunsford. That is to say: Walker is keeping a close eye on his elite peer. <\/p>\n
