Ramy was the defending champ and still stepped on stage looking the worst he ever had and dropped to 5th. No excuse for Nick if it has no relation to health concerns.

[@Rudix0]

true, but that probably ended his career as well

[@ElZarry]

He doesn’t owe it to anybody to step on stage if he doesn’t want to, but he should just retire at this point

[@phunned6007]

I think Ty e pressure of Nick thinking he was going to win and everyone putting him in 5th or out of the top 5 got to him

[@terable3536]

Just too much ego bro thats all.

[@fattdamon1980]

​@@ElZarry Actually 🤓 he does owe the people he signed the contract with, you know the Olympia.

with the camera view and that top Fouad looks like he's just come home from a shift at Mcdonalds lol

[@cleokc5444]

If u go back to the pod where Brett was on making his olympia predictions, he doesn’t put Nick in his top 10 until the guys bring it up. So, im sure he knew a few weeks before but didnt wanna bring it up which is respectful

[@alexboehman3727]

My thoughts exactly

[@johnkennedy1350]

im a professional musician … people have brought tickets to the show …. Im not showing up because i don’t think im gona play good 😂

[@paulhancock]

Everyone seems to be talking about Nick, so I might as well... He wasn't winning it anyway, sorry to break that news to him. I think he needs to be very careful because he might not get many more Olympias. He's contracted to be at the Olympia, he isn't injured or sick, and he doesn't look perfect because they did something wrong. That's on them, he isn't a victim of anything, this isn't 'unfair' and to let down the Olympia, IFBB and the paying fans literally one week out is poor IMO. If Nick let everyone know he was not looking his best and did his crying apology, but said he'd still show up for the fans and to show respect for the Olympia... He'd gain even more fans! We would all respect that so much but unfortunately, his ego, vanity and pride just won't let him do it. Where would the Olympia be if all the top guys did this? Just ducking out of the event because they don't look good enough to win it? They'd be f**ked, which is why they have signed contracts... But they apparently don't apply to Nick. I like Nick a lot, definitely no hater and I get why he doesn't want to compete looking bad... but sometimes as a man you have to drop your pride and keep your promises to those who support you. Just standing on the Olympia stage for the fans should be a special experience in itself. This is just my opinion, don't get triggered if you don't agree... There are far more important things happening in the world right now than a guy in a sparkly thong.

[@MagicMan2025]

Fouad totally surprised me about Nick. I agree with everything he said .Wow ! That's a first

[@houstonwheeler6854]

Nick blew his waist out..its over

His waist looks massive in the video where he’s crying, bros meant to be less than 2 weeks out and he looks pregnant 🤷‍♂️

[@paulandrews748]

His waist looked like th size of a house

[@roger6nelson]

its crazy because i remember a video of him talking about not doing heavy squats because he refused to risk blowing his midsection out

[@aloeblack8853]

Jansen blew it.

[@rahvastepaabel]

Too high insulin and high growth too many years without breaks will give everybody that look. I doubt he gets off for sufficient time to recover his midsection, if its even possible at this point. He could have been mr O last year, now he is done

[@brandonutv996]

Good video idea with the strangers and ranking the physiques

[@Casualviewer713]

The pulling out is one thing. But Nick saying he is still the 3rd best bodybuilder in the world is complete bullshit. Super disrespectful to all the competitors that are actually showing up.

[@baawwb]

That was the best take on the Nick situation that I've heard yet. Keep up the good work guys, enjoy the Olympia

[@KevinWatson-p1i]

Superb honest podcast every time.Good insight into the sport. Anyone into bodybuilding needs to be watching these.

[@dunkleydigital]

I think you guys have nailed the whole Nick thing, I am no body builder by any way but I have followed it and had it in my entire life, I have been watching tons of KZbin content and I wanted to see Nick this year especially after last year, it’s annoying because it’s a super prestigious competition and nobody should disrespect the integrity of the competition. He should have been honest, pulled out and definitely should not be disrespectful to his fellow competitors, just for the record, he is not top 3 in body building in 2024, maybe a few years ago but there is better talent on stage now.

[@lukasz.rytkowski]

Seth - once a bodybuilder Always a Bodybuilder - I say F YEAH - go for it and comeback 😍🙌

[@rvflex1934]

This is a disaster, not only for Nick but his coach.

[@VXTrucker]

They kinda nailed why I stopped watching Nicks content. It’s a shame he’s not competing but he should’ve mand up and taken the bad with the good

[@mattsmith3049]

I agree with a lot of what Eric says, but at the end of the day he still can’t get his pro card and he’s critiquing Olympians 😅 you can’t just disregard everything Olympians say.

[@philnull]

My best theory is that Matt made a mistake, but if he said it was his fault it would be the end of his career coaching. So he convinced Nick that the problem was more complicated, and although Nick is a hard worker he may have not seen through this manipulation. I’m guessing

[@cross123ish]

If Nick would have shown up, explained what went wrong but said, “I wanted to honor my contract and I wanted to be here for my fans”…everyone would have applauded him.

[@amenbrother777]

[@ShayneScherer]

I think it's pretty cowardly Nick dropped out. If it's not a specific health risk, I think it just shows he can't handle not winning. I think a couple years ago everyone in the industry was saying Nicks gonna dominate the league and all of a sudden a new crop of bodybuilders got in his way and it's crushing his ego.

[@bwil5989]

Prolly his Kratom addiction. Pretty sad people are pushing that on this industry.

[@ShayneScherer]

@@bwil5989 I don't know if it's that but I personally find it really odd how popular that stuff has become. Can be really addictive and have some rough mental side effects.

[@davidbennett2432]

I agree with you. He turned pro, won quickly if I remember right, then won the Arnold, and his head was very big. Everyone said he was the next #1. I remember him telling Guy he wants to win 10 Olympias, and I can remember thinking, "Maybe focus on winning ONE first before you think about 10." That was 2 or 3 years ago, and here we are, still hasn't won one, and whenever he does compete, he has things to say about the other guys, like disagreeing that Samson beat him, and acting like winning NY wasn't going to be a problem but then only beat Martin by 1 point, so I think the field is progressing alot faster around him than he thought, and now reality is setting in that Oh shit, I may have missed my prime days, and there's others around me that are coming up and passing me now or soon. That's a stark difference from "I'm the best and I plan on winning 10 O's". Something just smells off by their excuse, and I think there's more that we will never know.

[@sloanphysique7069]

I believe this is spot on. He knew he would have no chance against Derek, Hadi, and Samson. Looking through his recent insta picks, his legs actually look smaller to me right now then they have in awhile

[@kyrouque9493]

U have to understand Nick is like the most hated bodybuilder in the world, even prior o him dropping out. People just hate his waist, and his physique, every year they criticize him saying he should be outside of the top 5 because he has an ugly physique. So far, he always managed to keep his image by going up in placings and proving everyone that count him out each year wrong. What would have happened if he showed up looking as bad as it seems he would have? People would have not been considerate trust me. He would have just gives his haters the right to speak. I totally understand him dropping out and hope he can bounce back.

Man I love Nick and it was just very hard to see that video of him and to know that we will not see him another year. I just hope that everything is good with him. I personally think that it’s something with his mental health rather than the other stuff. Man I don’t want to get in other people’s life but you never know man, we are human at the end of the day and relationships and other shit obviously can affect people’s body. Mental heath is the key. man I wish Nick was working with Hany, the connection between these two would be magical. We know how Hany makes sure everything with his athlete is checked out…

[@rahvastepaabel]

He blew his waist out with growth, insulin and became insulin resistant. It was apparent already in Pittsburg.

[@pramathanarayana867]

Its almost like Nick and Matt didn't feel the need to investigate why he wasnt responding, before they put out the statement. They literally thought them being so transparent with arguably a very poor excuse would give them "atleast they're being honest" points, over a more in depth explanation, possible causes and bloodwork info. They didnt think the fans deserved justification.

[@nate9169]

Nick issue is - His last showing at the olympia was 3rd, he dont wanna place any lower then that and knows if he was to slip out to say 5th -7th spots for him he would struggle to get back in the mix again, as with another years, andrew samson amd dereck will just get better, now u got martin and rapheal aswell knocking at the door.

[@traviswitthuhn9688]

I know this was live and me commenting is probably irrelevant, but as far as Nick not making the video himself, he WAS in it and they explained what was going on together. Nick views Jansen as a father which might be weird but he clearly was too upset to make the full video himself and Jansen probably offered to do it for him. I’m not a big fan of Nicks at all but I feel like it was a pretty simple explanation. However I do agree, a potential fine could be necessary for future pull outs from the Olympia 46:13

It’s pretty simple nick started training a certain way then all of a sudden changed his style for a of training in my opinion a little lax … in the end it caught up with him. So in a way I agree he reached the top then let off the gas. Don’t you guys remember his original style of training then went to the Mike approach “nothing wrong with that” but that’s nothing like his original style. If your gonna scale back its good but its just a more refined style of your original approach..

[@SheHulkBuilt]

I think that Eric is speaking to a general population that is notorious for not using good form and swinging the weight up (using that biceps curl example). I'm a bodybuilding coach and trainer. I see so many people swinging on the biceps curl in the name of curling heavier weights. The exercise he presents helps take momentum out of the equation for those lifters who have a hard time understanding what true muscle recruitment is. Most of the time when a client comes to me bragging about a 30# curl, im like, show me. Usually, it's completely bad form and momentum. I just think his target audience is not bodybuilders.
