Phil Heath(2018 Mr. O) vs Nick Walker(2022 Mr. O)

[@ExternusArmy]

Gut aside, Phil still looked really good.

[@JennyCuntballs]

His legs look great from the front

[@michaelmayers3622]

Facts he could of win any year

[@Asiansxsymbol]

No, he was diminished.

[@michaelmayers3622]

@Asiansxsymbol and stull best on stage

[@stiflingmystrife]

I love the nonstop content man! I haven't looked but it seems like a video or two everyday lol You're gonna run out of professional bodybuilders lol other than your comparisons I've kinda grown tired of bodybuilding but your personality really elevates these videos. You should broaden this format to something! Just a suggestion love the content.

[@chrisballard5743]

Nick's arms look like legs in the FDB. But Phil's arms are bigger in almost every other pose.

[@leotorrejos2582]

Phil's front is so bad but probably the greatest in the side and back poses

[@trentenmerrill5239]

Nick has more rounded lats in the front double bicep pose and he has better bicep peaks without a doubt.

[@edge3220]

Credit where credit is due, Nick is pushing on Phil in some of these shots. Still, I think Phil wins overall, but interesting comparison nonetheless.

[@GC-by6iz]

front shots aside, phil just kills Nick in all the side and back shots. Don't get me wrong nick is decent in all of them but Phil is just a little bit better in every aspect, every body part, shape, separation, detail etc. It all just adds up and when you look at as a whole its just a phil heath domination.

[@phamchithien]

no version of phil gonna lose to nick walker. Nick muscle just doesnt have a good flow, and he lacks the fibrous feathering looks. Nick is the type to hold lot of water under his skins. Its a genetic thing not his fault

[@fritzfxx]

Also separation and conditioning, which are cornerstones of BBing.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

​@@fritzfxxNick excels in seperation though, he is miles ahead of samson in that regard

[@phamchithien]

@@woahblackbettybamalam yeah nick muscle seperation is pretty good, his big muscle pop and seperate really well, its just the thicker skins that make him lose a lot of small details on the smaller muscle group . he just got dealt a bad hand for bodybuilding.

[@Elsuciodan638]

@@phamchithienI mean yeah tbh yes but seems he has improved that, at Arnold classic 2023 he lose muscle but was more balanced and with more detail, and at the ny pro 2024 he brought size but condition and definitely brought detail tbh he really improved he’s poses too like back double bicep looks better than it did 2022 I like how it looks like a V matches really good I hope he improved detail rather than size

[@phamchithien]

@ yeah he had plenty of size for his height already, he should concentrate on condition and improving his propotion more than pushing for more size

[@Hfidon]

Aside from the front poses 2018 side and back poses are goated.

[@zman8340]

The great gut battle

[@Sal-zw9io]

And the winner is?

[@ExternusArmy]

@@Sal-zw9io the manufacturers of HGH easily win this comparison

[@JayBallentine]

It’s totally fine to give objective analysis so long as we are not personally insulting people. When judges judge bodybuilding shows, they are doing just that.

[@Gnybr]

Phil is just so awful in the front poses but looks amazing in the side and back poses.

[@srgillette12]

Awesome comparison. In my mind I thought nick would be much more dominant in the side shots. The doctor is too big and round even in 2018

[@Marked__One]

Nick Walker has one of the least aesthetic physiques in pro bodybuilding and for me is a clear indicator of how far the sport has fallen

[@NilsMueller]

Phill "the gut" Health Jokes, he still looks good here

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

Phils front shots are just bad. Narrow plus the stomach. The more time goes on the more i see the flaws stick out..Its a tough call honestly.

[@paulcox2447]

This is one of Phils worse versions. His front shots aren't "bad". He's a bit narrow, that's about it. The waist issues are really only a few years. Nick Walker is basically a slightly better version of Branch Warren.

[@phamchithien]

@@paulcox2447 bro how is he better than warren, at his peak warren lower body and upper body symetry was much better that nick whose legs is still lagging behing alot. Warren lower body was actually big enough to bounce back against his upper body... his peak was short though 🤣

[@groundcontrol6876]

@@paulcox2447 No way bro. Warren had a smaller waist, with a nice 8 pack (at least in his earlier years he also kept it pretty tight and in check). Nick's got great abs but his midsection is wide, blocky and has a lil' bonanza going on. Perhaps not when he's holding the pose, but everywhere in between you can see it. Branch Warren's legs were on another planet too. Huge, dense, grainy, vascular, super conditioned and full of striations. Amazing calves without the varicosees baby please. No comparison.

[@Shiny-Beast]

I'd give Nick the side poses. Phil's CS is muscular but isn't as imposing as Nick's. Nick's ST is awesome.

[@groundcontrol6876]

Funny how you mention the triple trouble double bubble here, and for everyone else really, heck even for some people who don't have distended midsections... but when you see Keone Pearson with a 4 month womb, you either hear crickets or just praise for how aesthetic he is, even with the gut spilling out. Did a video just the other day where it was egregiously obvious in the pictures and you didn't say a thing about it. I think I'll have to go back and comment on that one.

[@Jesse-df9fz]

Need that 2021 Nick back, but with the extra muscle. He was dry as a bone at the 21 Arnold, midsection and waist looked great then too

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

I always notice you say “pitchers” instead of “pictures”.

[@meatimus]

Awww he called Nick a Mutate! It’s been years!

[@jackblue6367]

Battle of the guts

[@paulk9603]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bulltrack2843]

Can you do Brandon Curry vs Kevin Levrone at their best? I got into an argument and I said that Brandon was better and wanted to prove or disprove it.

[@paulk9603]

Danilov vs Dillet 💪🏻

[@CypressItalian]

But you cant put the gut aside. The rules dont allow it.

[@groundcontrol6876]

He puts the gut aside all the time for Keone though. Doesn't even mention it. Heck, he praises it!

[@ErikRutar]

Now insted of Phil make one with Rhoden

[@CypressItalian]

Gustavo Badell 04 vs Derek Lunsford 2024.

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

morning

[@afonso1816]

nick win this, if we are being objective

[@MichaelDouglas-ti1eb]

Nick wins the ab and thigh and I’d also give him the front double. Everything else goes to Phil.

[@Stylez_G_White]

Walker has some unfortunate calf veins.

[@fritzfxx]

Nick too scared of losing his mass to ever come fully conditioned and seperated; fatal flaw he will likely never overcome if he hasnt by now.

[@mykhluk395]

Nick walker 1000% percent

[@JL-yw1cp]

These stupid shadows make their arms look smaller

[@mattarndt4452]

Nick’s midsection looks way too wide!

[@CoffeeIceScream]

BOOM

[@shred9475]

Bonanza wars

[@HardbrasH1]

Front poses of Phil are terrible

[@johnallstadt]

Walker will never win an Olympia title. Not because he isn’t massive. His torso is too long, legs too short, and he looks unaesthetic in many poses. From the side he can hide it, but every other shot its glaring. His mass is impressive as hell, but to be Mr. Olympia you simply have to have the structure (a couple obvious exceptions from the distant past aside), and there are too many others who have it.

[@groundcontrol6876]

Yup, never gonna happen.

[@michaelmayers3622]

Phil should of beat shawn

[@syedalamgir5838]

Nick Waker is best

[@GidoSpirit]

Nick wake and bake

[@fritzfxx]

Apparently you like them wet and smooth, which makes more sense with women than it does with BBers, who generally want to be dry and seperated

[@PigsyGames]

Pretty tight but Nick wins

[@lucalarossa8057]

🤣

[@Asiansxsymbol]

Not quite.

[@Sal-zw9io]

No one convice me, but yes, Maybe Nick.

[@tomytzza27]

8-0 phill

[@c.f.875]

Nick wins

[@lucalarossa8057]

in the varicose vein department for sure

[@MartinTemple-n9p]

Lol still not close, Walker is a horrible looking little goblin

[@OptimisticOstrich-sd9nt]

Nick wins,side shots,front double,ab and thigh.Phil was shit after 2013,2011 us the best Phil ever looked

[@mrm5762]

😂

[@eduardoquispe6367]

Phil condition this year was out of this world
