The eighth-place finisher at the <a data-lasso-id=\"193612\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/hadi-choopan-wins-2022-mr-olympia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2022 Mr. Olympia<\/a> has followed that sterling top-10 performance by diving head-first right back into his <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/two-a-day-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"193674\">training<\/a> and <a data-lasso-id=\"193614\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/how-to-eat-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nutritional<\/a> plans. Part of the former note is connected to Jacked&#8217;s recent reveal he would start some work with a new trainer, <a data-lasso-id=\"193615\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/andrew-jacked-training-chris-psycho-lewis-2023-arnold-classic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris &#8220;Psycho&#8221; Lewis<\/a>. The trainer is perhaps previously best known for his time working with the late 2018 Mr. Olympia Shawn Rhoden. Judging by a recent update, Lewis possibly seems on track to unlocking Jacked&#8217;s full potential. <\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 26, 2023, Jacked posted a photo to his Instagram <strong>where he&#8217;s flexing his ripped <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/best-chest-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"193616\">chest<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/best-arm-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"193617\">arm<\/a> muscles<\/strong>. Per a general perusal of Jacked&#8217;s feed to this point in 2023, it&#8217;s the first relatively comprehensive look the bodybuilder has offered of where his physique stands over the last few weeks. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;When the hoodie comes off &#8230;

However, in this case, if Jacked was going to capture what would arguably be the biggest win of his career in Columbus, OH, on Mar. 2-5, 2023, he was likely to have to topple a set of elite peers anyway.
