DEBATE: HOW MANY MR. OLYMPIAS WILL NICK WALKER WIN? Palumbo & Aceto | HMR (10/5/26)
Show notes
Dave Palumbo and Chris Aceto are back for an all-new episode of Heavy Muscle Radio, bodybuilding's longest-running weekly podcast. On today's episode, the question is floated - HOW MANY Mr. Olympia titles will Nick Walker win? Can he go on a mini-dynasty, or, are Samson Dauda, Derek Lunsford, and Andrew Jacked nipping at his heels and will make repeating a difficult task?
Dave suggests the idea of a ONE-DAY Mr. Olympia, in a passionate video last week, is this a possibility? His motivation for the idea comes from the disparity in scorecards between prejudging and finals, which as he puts it, makes the current format "two separate Mr. Olympias" - would the Olympia ever entertain going back to a one-day format for the Mr. Olympia?
Plus, Martin Fitzwater calls it a season, after declining to defend his Prague Pro title.
It's Heavy Muscle Radio, on RXMuscle.

OLYMPIA PREVIEW! Palumbo & Aceto DEBATE: WHO'S WINNING The Sandow?
Show notes
IT'S OLYMPIA WEEK!
Dave Palumbo and Chris Aceto PREVIEW the 2026 Olympia.
Derek Lunsford returns to the Mr. Olympia stage as reigning champion, chasing his third Sandow against a loaded field led by Samson Dauda, Andrew Jacked, Nick Walker, and Martin Fitzwater. Dauda is looking to rebound from his 2025 fourth-place finish after winning the 2026 Europa Pro, while Jacked enters with major momentum following Arnold Classic victories in both the U.S. and U.K. and his first Olympia top-three finish. Walker, meanwhile, has surged back into contention after narrowly losing to Jacked at the Arnold Classic before dominating the Tampa Pro with razor-sharp conditioning. Fitzwater remains the wild card after back-to-back top-five Olympia finishes, though inconsistent results in recent shows leave questions about which version will arrive in Las Vegas.
Plus, EPIC battles in Classic Physique with Ramon Dino looking to defend the title in the post CBum era, Ryan Terry looks to make it 4 titles in Men's Physique against Ali Bilal (back-to-back runner-up Olympia finishes), Kyron Holden, Erin Banks,and Brandon Hendrickson, and Keone Pearson looks to make it a dominant 4th in the 212 division and inch closer to Flex Lewis' record.
