Too bad. He pretty much sets the bar with his conditioning. Hadi and Derek are going to be in shape but something about The Mutant's conditioning that has always been just a little more crazy.

 

[jJjburton]

So he requires surgery?

Hopefully not a health issue and this came out of nowhere!

Damn, Probably needs reconstructive surgery for a complete tear if he wants to compete next year. What a bummer.

Hopefully this doesn't hold him back next year and he'll have a comeback story.

It was heart breaking to hear. So much sacrifice, discipline and effort put in and to get injured right at the finish line.

 

[AlexDavis43]

My top 5 predictions is now reduced to a top 4.

 

[quadzilla]

For those who never stepped on stage, you have no idea how heartbreaking this is. I can understand him being in tears at the end.

Absolutely gut wrenching. Speedy recovery big man.

No chance, its a 9 month recovery…..

 

[MindlessWork]

No chance, its a 9 month recovery…..

so 2025 would been the earliest in that case. Hopefully there will be better news though.

 

[AlexDavis43]

No chance, its a 9 month recovery…..

Yeah maybe for a normal human being. How long after major muscle tears did Dorian compete? Months not years.

 

[SkankHunt]

That sucks. Just saw a video of him recently and he was in phenomenal shape. Dude is an absolute monster, hope he has a speedy recovery.

 

[laclark89]

I seen the video too. Hes not a bad guy I just cant stand his pouty ass face an attitude all the time.

All of a sudden his leg is fucked an hell be sitting at the booth now? That's partly why him an hostile went seperate ways because he was a lazy spokes person never wanted to be at the booth at expos.

Tore his hamstring, tears are fairly common this deep into prep.
It sucks for Nick, but that risk is there when you're dieted down, on a full prep cycle to keep strength up, and keeping estrogen low.

Last few weeks of prep is a perfect storm for a tear

 

[buck]

Training all out after having starved the body to death for some time is asking for an issue to pop up i would think.

 

[Hugh Madbrah]

too bad I really wanted to see him compete this year

 

[Trainedbytylerlofthouse19]

Done it on purpose after seeing Meso thread about his gear use......

 

[tangenial]

This does suck. I prefer to see the best competition up there and this takes away from the lineup IMO.

 

[Terminator-101]

Crap, first Big Ramy and now Nick Walker

 

[MindlessWork]

There's chatter now that Brandon Curry is also out.
