In a surprising turn of events, professional bodybuilder Andrew Jacked, renowned for his impressive physique and competitive spirit, has announced his withdrawal from the Arnold Classic 2024 in both the USA and UK segments. This news has sent ripples through the bodybuilding community, as Jacked was a strong favorite and his absence marks a significant shift in the competition's dynamics.


The Rise of Andrew Jacked​

Andrew Jacked, whose full name is Chinedu Andrew Obieka, has been a prominent figure in the Men’s Open Bodybuilding division. Born in 1985 and standing at 6’2" with a competition weight of 266 lbs, Jacked hails from Nigeria and represents a new era in bodybuilding that began in 2020. His journey to the top has been marked by notable achievements including a fifth-place finish at the 2023 Mr. Olympia and a third-place finish at the 2022 Arnold Classic USA.

Key Achievements​

  • 2022 Arnold Classic USA: 3rd Place
  • 2022 Arnold Classic UK: Champion

The Announcement and Its Implications​

Jacked's decision to withdraw, announced via his Instagram, was attributed to personal commitments that interfered with his competition preparation. Known for his dedication to bringing his best package to the stage, Jacked expressed his unwillingness to compete without being 100% prepared.



The Impact on Arnold Classic 2024​

Jacked's withdrawal has opened up the competition, making it more unpredictable and exciting. The absence of a defending champion in the UK segment and a top contender in the USA segment heightens the anticipation for who will emerge as the new champions.

Potential Contenders for the Title​

With Jacked out of the picture, the spotlight turns to other top athletes. Speculations are high about the participation of Hadi Choopan, the 2022 Mr. Olympia. Choopan's current silence on social media adds to the suspense, leaving fans and competitors guessing about his potential entry.



What This Means for Bodybuilding Fans​

Jacked's withdrawal, while disappointing for his fans, sets the stage for a thrilling and unpredictable Arnold Classic. The 2024 season is now wide open, offering a unique opportunity for emerging stars to make their mark.
