2024 Texas Pro Results Breakdown
Open Bodybuilding
While there were athletes who signed with memorable posing routines, it was the beastly physique of Andrew Jacked that stole the night. He weighed a near-unbelievable 299 pounds for the event, and by the time he hit the stage, it was clear Jacked brought the best look of his career. His arms were noticeably improved with extra mass, as well as his traps and shoulders, which gave him the appearance of even more mass. In addition, his leg separation was deeply cut and his quad sweeps came up. He last competed and took fifth place at the 2023 Olympia contest — and the wait to see him perform again was well worth it.
In Jacked’s way was Jordan Hutchinson, an up-and-coming Pro who has made significant leaps in terms of detail and overall size. Hutchinson had a tough task having to deal with the supersized version of Andrew Jacked. Hutchinson competed and placed third at the recent 2024 Tampa Pro, and has quickly become a name to watch in the growing category. Ultimately, the new and improved Andrew Jacked overwhelmed the lineup and he took gold soundly. Jordan Hutchinson and Nathan Epler finished in second and third place.
- Winner — Andrew Jacked
- Second Place — Jordan Hutchinson
- Third Place — Nathan Epler
- Fourth Place — Lewis Breed
- Fifth Place — Felix Norman
- Sixth Place — Anthony Jehl
