RECENT CHANGES TO OLYMPIA QUALIFICATION SYSTEM AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WINNING TEXAS PRO
Changes have been made to the 2023 Olympia qualification system, and overall points standings from IFBB Pro League contests have been removed. This means that winning the Texas Pro is more important than ever for Jacked, as he will need to secure a victory to qualify for the Olympia. While this was not an issue for Jacked in 2022, he will need to stay on top of his game to qualify for this year’s competition.
ANDREW JACKED’S RECENT COMPETITION RESULTS
Following his victory at the Texas Pro and the 2022 Arnold Classic UK, Jacked finished in eighth place at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. Despite being a newcomer to the competition, Jacked’s top-10 finish was impressive. Jacked then took third place at the 2023 Arnold Classic, with only champion Samson Dauda and 2022 Olympia third-place finisher Nick Walker placing ahead of him.
