The mega event of the year, the Mr. Olympia Competition, is just around the corner, the first week of November, to be exact. And Olympia qualifying competitions are already generating a lot of buzz. Earlier, on 18-19th August, the 2023 Texas Pro was a sample of what to expect from the bodybuilders. They are bigger, better, and stronger than ever. The star-studded IFBB pro league has ushered in a new dawn of bodybuilding, presenting the world with a new musclebound champion. 

Two names shone brighter than the rest in the adrenaline-induced Texas Pro competition. The thrilling showdown between Andrew Jacked and Hunter Labrada brought viewers to the edge of their seats. Now the official channel of NPC news has announced the winners on its Instagram handle. Furthermore, netizens have lauded the competition for a thrilling display of physical perfection. Moreover, fans are dumbstruck by the clear winner of the show – Andrew Jacked. 

Hunter Labrada could not compete with the muscularity of Andrew Jacked

The 2022 Arnold Classic Amateur, Chinedu Andrew Obiekea, is a recent introduction to the bodybuilding stage and earned his pro card just last year. However, looking at the size, conditioning, muscularity, and symmetry, one would think, Obiekea has been training for ages. The Nigerian Lion has proved his mettle by winning the Texas Pro twice in a row (2022 and 2023)- with the Mr. Olympia crown just a few steps away.

A few hours ago, NPC News Online announced the top five performers in the Battle of the Titans. Chinedu Andrew Obiekea cinched the title, while Hunter Labrada and Carlos Thomas Jr. came second and third, respectively. 

Netizens immediately flocked to the comments section to register their amazement and approval for the champions. Andrew Jacked and Hunter Labrada were the top performers, but the physique that Andrew Jacked brought on stage was invincible. His body imbibed the aesthetics of the golden era combined with a herculean size, customary in the mass monster era. The past and present collided to sculpt a new god of aesthetics!

However, Hunter Labrada was not far behind. He came to the show, all muscles blazing, equipped with enhanced training methods. Moreover, the son of Lee Labrada has already solidified his place in the upcoming Mr. Olympia competition by winning the 2023 Tampa Pro. Even fans bowed down to the greatness of these bodybuilding behemoths who have breached the boundaries of human potential.

Fans celebrate Andrew Jacked’s victory

The netizens touted the Texas Pro competition to be the most entertaining. They were treated with a unimaginable artistry of the human body combined with dramatic posing. Witnessing the talent powerhouse, one netizen exclaimed, “Would hate to be a judge between those two? Great, showing by both.” The Nigerian pro was a clear winner, both in the eyes of the judges and the people. A fan penned an emotional appreciation. They said, “Confirmation round did it. Andrew came in better at the night, wow what a show.”

Similarly, a subscriber stated, ” The guy that looks the most like the trophy finally won! Haha.” At 6’2 and close to 300 lbs, the Dubai-based IFBB had towered over all other bodybuilders, including Labrada. “Correct call. Bodybuilding is heading In the best direction ever,” chimed another fan. 

However, a Hunter Labrada devotee said, “Well deserved, but the back and condition Hunter brought were just on another level. He’s winning the next show for sure!” It might be a mistake to write off Labrada’s performance as the fitness icon has revamped his prep style post the 2022 fiasco. Only time will tell if Andrew Jack will repeat his victorious performance or if someone else will be crowned as the new-age King.
