A rising superstar, those near Jacked think he’s able to dominate.
When a constellation of a few of bodybuilding’s biggest stars align on the 2023 Arnold Classic (AC), most will understand who to point their “telescope” toward. A number of the usual suspects like 2021 AC winner Nick Walker, former two-time Mr. Olympia (2020-2021) Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, and two-time 212 Olympia king (2020, 2022) Shaun Clarida figure to maximise their time within the Columbus, OH, limelight on Mar. 2-5, 2023.
Nevertheless, some consider reigning 2022 Texas Pro and 2022 Arnold Classic UK champion Chinedu Andrew Obiekea, a.k.a. “Andrew Jacked,” will lay claim to a dominant performance on the 2023 AC. After a recent addition to his training plans by working with Chris “Psycho” Lewis, such an assertion won’t be out of the realm of possibility. On Feb. 1, 2023, Jacked’s other primary trainer, Chris Aceto, appeared on a podcast episode with RxMuscle. While updating Jacked’s ongoing work for the 2023 AC, the trainer maintained that the athlete would appear in tip-top form in Central Ohio.

In keeping with Aceto, Jacked is taking well to a latest strength regimen that Lewis is putting him through. Lewis appears to have a mission to interrupt Jacked down before constructing him back up, however the bodybuilder doesn’t sound fazed by such goals.
” … Andrew [Jacked] is pushing back against Chris ‘Psycho’ Lewis,” Aceto explained. “I do know Chris. Chris wants to simply absolutely crush him and a part of it’s to see where he’s at mentally. Then, the opposite part is to see, can he [Jacked] really handle the training Chris desires to put him through? On each of those accounts, I might say Chris would grade him as an ‘A.’ He takes the training and he pushes back. Chris is pushing him so far as Chris thinks he must be pushed.”
With the 2023 AC still weeks away, Aceto maintained that Jacked is already in an optimal position to capture his first title at the competition. Though, with a lot time left to arrange, the trainer isn’t putting a ceiling on what the bodybuilder could accomplish soon enough.
“I believe his [Jacked’s] best is coming up in five weeks [at the 2023 Arnold Classic],” Aceto said. “I believe his best look to this point was today [the day of the interview]. It might be the very best look. That features having been on an Olympia stage. I believe he’s higher now than he was on stage on the Olympia. … If the [2023] Olympia was tomorrow, and he brought this package, I believe he’d be somewhat bit fuller and tighter than he was the day of the show. That’s just on a regular basis training sessions.”

Time will tell how Jacked fares on the 2023 AC stage. The athlete could have concurrently enlisted the assistance of two expert trainers in Aceto and Lewis, knowing there’s quite a gauntlet of experienced competitors to beat. If these hints of Jacked’s ongoing process are to be interpreted appropriately, early March needs to be quite the showcase.
