When Guy Cisternino shed light on how much he actually helped the allegedly self-prepped Nick Walker for his mind blowing look at the 2026 Arnold Classic. Many fans were expecting to take the stage looking like crap or canceling at the 11th hour, but he looked phenomenal. He really gave Andrew Jacked a run for his money. Who wouldn’t known?! Nick got himself more conditioned than Chris “The Technician” Aceto got Andrew Jacked bone dry for the second most prestigious contest in physique-based sports. What luck!! Or it skill? OR.. IS IT BULLSHIT?
Cisternino was held out as being Walker’s “second set of eyes.” Yet on BroChat, Guy was talking about lowering Nick’s gear? He also talked about Nick asking him to “take over the reins.” But what does that mean? Guy just kept parroting that he was Nick’s friend. Curiously, Ivan Bodybuilding seems to think that Guy said too much and may have caused a riff that will potentially drive a wedge between the two friends.
To go back to what Ivan Bodybuilding said, Guy comes out of this looking like the coach to fire. Even if we’re to believe the oversold notion that Nick did most of the prep, it still undermines Nick’s “second set of eyes” lie. Second pairs of eyes don’t have a say in gear protocols. They just use their eyes. Once the idea that Nick no longer SELF – MEANING HE ONLY – prepped himself, then everything else simply becomes an exercise in determining how much Walker lied. Did he lie a little? Or did he lie a lot? If you take anything away from this article, it’s that Guy’s appearance on Bro Chat, while more than likely well-intentioned, as hurt the way people look at Nick. Ultimately this in on Nick. He created and sold the lie. But, loose lips do sink ships.
