Chinedu Andrew \u201cJacked\u201d Obiekea is riding high after back-to-back Arnold Classic wins. On March 29, 2026, he reflected on his success and shared that he has the mental edge heading into the Mr. Olympia.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andrew Jacked<\/a> has quickly become a dominant force in the Men\u2019s Open class. The 2025 Mr. Olympia was his breakout performance; he pushed champion Derek Lunsford<\/a> and Hadi Choopan<\/a> en route to bronze. Jacked didn\u2019t stop there. He dominated the Romania Pro to secure an early qualification for the next Mr. Olympia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead of sitting out and waiting, Jacked got right back to work. He battled an all-time best Nick Walker<\/a> at the 2026 Arnold Classic and won the $750,000 grand prize<\/a>. Jacked used the momentum and earned another $250,000 after claiming the Arnold UK crown. Looking ahead, he\u2019s now considered a top favorite for the sport\u2019s biggest event of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like being content with the previous things that I\u2019ve got. I like to have at least an inch of progress,\u201d he shared. \u201cThe training definitely changed. I think the training is what really tuned up everything. The training tuned up the body.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that was the missing link. The coaching was good, but the training, something was missing. Now, it\u2019s a yin-yang effect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jacked\u2019s confidence soared after three consecutive Pro show victories, and he said he is approaching \u2018greater heights.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t usually post stuff, like updates on Instagram, wherever I\u2019m training. But recently, because of the confidence of how things are going, I like putting it all out there. I\u2019m letting them know I\u2019m coming. Get me. The confidence has been there. I\u2019m putting in the work, and I know definitely we are approaching greater heights.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After receiving judging feedback in Ohio, Jacked believes he\u2019s on track for a shocking Olympia performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAfter the Ohio, we got some feedback. I shouldn\u2019t do this, but I should do this, this, and this. We locked on that. That\u2019s why we came in here, he called the shots, I give it to them. They call, I give it to them. Yeah, I\u2019m ready,\u201d he said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He expects to showcase improvements at Olympia and argued he has the mental edge over the lineup thanks to his victories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy job for now is to keep pushing. Of course, the Sandow is missing, so I\u2019m definitely going for that. The thing I\u2019m most happy about is the consistent improvements in every show.<\/p>\n

At the Olympia, you will definitely see something more improved than what you\u2019re seeing now. I think I will have some good advantages, contention-wise, against those guys. Mentally, now, I think I\u2019m more ahead of them now, in terms of advantage.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jacked has been clear about his goals in 2026. His sole focus is on achieving Mr. Olympia glory, but he was adamant that he wants a two-man callout with Samson Dauda<\/a>. Dauda won the Olympia title back in 2024 but dropped to fourth last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jacked will aim to win the Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic in the same season, as Lunsford accomplished in 2025. The 2026 Mr. Olympia<\/a> is scheduled for September 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
