    Nick sharing his trauma is very selfless and courageous.
    Telling your story helps others and is inspirational.
    Pulling for Nick at the 2024 Mr Olympia. 🥇

    i like the saying,” never forget why you started” it has always stuck with me because i was bullied a lot when i was younger for being overweight. but now i’m in the best shape of my life and im the happiest i’ve been mentally in my life. i will never forget why i started and it keeps me going

    Had no idea nick had been through so much it’s incredible how far he has come looking forward to seeing him complete at the Olympia and prove the doubters wrong

    Thank you Nick, as a survivor myself, I applaud you and am proud of you. I don’t care what others think… I workout for myself, I release my mental pain too thru the weight room. Thank you

    I think it’s pretty incredible you’re sharing this information. You probably have no idea how many people you’ve helped who are going through the same thing and are too ashamed/hurt/embarrassed to tell anyone. Seeing someone like you, an icon of muscular masculinity, will help others know that this can happen to anyone and it’s okay to talk about it with people who can help. Good job, Nick and best of luck in the Olympia!!!

    This really resonated with me as someone whose experienced a lot of childhood trauma and continues to experience trauma with my job. The gym helps my mental health tremendously and it’s refreshing to see such a public person speak openly about their trauma.

    There is strength in allowing yourself to be vulnerable and open at times. Then close it up when it’s time to be closed.
    This audio a huge W!

    Nick; My brother, thank you for venting, thank you for opening up to your true fans , it’s good that you do it so that the others who are stun can vent to their family. My brother, you are in my prayers and you are already our Mr. Olympia. May Almighty God continue to bless you greatly today, tomorrow and always. A big hug!

    Trauma is very common among bodybuilders. IIRC flex wheeler has a similar story. I just hope these guys reach their goals and retire before they do irreparable damage to their health from all the PEDs.

    Cried for sure watching this…. Happened to me in 7th grade as well and it ended my pro skateboard career.
    Thanks for sharing this and showing vulnerability in a space where that’s not so accepted.

  • @Thabiso-k5y

    Nick, your pure bravery will forever set you free. There's a lot of people who locks in and internalize depression. Expressing fears, trauma and past oppressive stress, is indeed a good initiative way for healing. This will save lives. I pray this kind of mindset and healing reaches to every victim and serve them with healing and abundant life. God bless.

    Behind the cockiness facade, there's a man with feelings and demons. Nick is an outstanding example of working through the trauma. It's tough to understand it's not your fault. Knowing that you're not alone and you can always get help can help in the long journey ahead. Much respect Nick! 💪😎

    Really supporting you from UK buddy. Hope you do well but whatever happens you’re giving it your all. You will never regret giving it your all. When we’re old we don’t regret failures, we regret not trying and not giving our all.
    If you think the price of giving it your all is high, wait to you get the bill for regret. You’re the man in the arena buddy and wish you all the best.
