On another forum and on some social media comment sections people have been counting Nick out for a while, he is done!, nothing but a second rate pro, if that, from now on they said. In his run-up pictures from prep his skin looked relatively loose, way less crisp and saran-wrapped that say a Krizo. Probably partly due to lighting differences and not using filters etc. I was saying and thinking the judges have liked him historically, obviously, so let's just see, he looks about the same as he's looked for the past few years, no real deterioration but also no apparent gains the past few years (imo). I completely get why people don't like his physique though. Now I see even Phil Heath saying he didn't really lose per se, he was right there and easily could/should have won.
