Jordan Hutchinson is tipping the scales at 263.5 pounds ahead of his sophomore Mr. Olympia appearance. In a September 6 video, the Men’s Open star broke down his massive 5,124-calorie diet four weeks before stepping onstage.
In 2025, Hutchinson found his footing in the Men’s Open division. He went 2-0 during the season, winning the Tampa and Texas Pro. He had real momentum heading into Vegas and earned 12th place in his Olympia debut. Since then, Hutchinson has improved drastically, especially his midsection and back.
Those changes were apparent in his last two outings. Hutchinson pushed William Bonac and Edward Kargbo for bronze at the Flex Weekend Italy Pro. He figured out his winning formula for the Portugal Pro and secured his Olympia qualification.
Training can take an athlete far, but Hutchinson understands that nutrition could be the biggest difference-maker when he hits the stage. In the lead-up to the event, his diet has been closely monitored by coach Chris Tuttle as they aim to present his all-time best.

Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler isn’t counting out Hutchinson ahead of the Olympia. He recently argued that if the Men’s Open star improves his back, he could fight for a top four spot:
“This kid is a year away from being in the hunt. If this Jordan can improve what he needs to improve right now, based on this, because the conditioning thing — he’s got that down like tenfold, but if he can improve his back, which I know he will — he’s a top-four threat. We’re talking about him at the Olympia next year as a frontrunner.”
Hutchinson has every intention of climbing the Men’s Open ladder in just 16 days. The 2026 Mr. Olympia takes place from September 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
