Andrew Jacked is now working with the late Shawn Rhoden’s trainer to help improve.
Andrew Jacked is now part of the roster for the 2023 Arnold Classic and intends to make the necessary improvements on stage. It seems as though he is joining the late Shawn Rhoden’s former coach Chris “Psycho” Lewis to get the best he can for the upcoming show.
Jacked quickly became a bodybuilder with plenty of hype when he earned his Pro Card at the 2022 Arnold Classic Amateur. He competed at his first show in August at the 2022 Texas Pro, where he was able to take home the prize. Jacked backed it up with another victory at the Arnold Classic UK.
Jacked finished the calendar year of 2022 with an appearance at the 2022 Olympia. He finished ninth despite battling a serious fever throughout the competition. Now, he will set his sights on the Arnold Classic.
Andrew Jacked To Work With Chris Lewis
Dave Palumbo of Rx Muscle shared the news of Chris Lewis working with Andrew Jacked. Palumbo revealed that Lewis shared the news with him directly.
“I got word from Chris ‘Psycho’ Lewis, I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this, but it’s too late. You tell me, and you don’t tell me it’s off the record, then I have to open my mouth.
Chris ‘Psycho’ Lewis is going to be training Andrew Jacked for the next six weeks or five weeks or whatever it is for the Arnold.
Chris Lewis worked under the guidance of Charles Glass and continues to use many principles taught. He helped guide Shawn Rhoden to the 2018 Olympia title, where he was able to defeat the likes of Phil Heath.

“We know that he did wonders with Shawn Rhoden keeping him focused and getting him into that gym,” Dave Palumbo said.
Andrew Jacked decided to throw his name into the ring for the upcoming Arnold Classic. Last week, it was announced that the prize purse would increase to $300,000 this year for the Men’s Open champion. He will have a chance to go up against Nick Walker, who finished third at the Olympia.
Palumbo believes that Chris Lewis will get the most out of Andrew Jacked before he takes the stage in March.
“I think it’s a game-changer because I remember seeing a picture of Andrew Jacked… It was before he had competed in one of the shows that he won. And he looked good, you know what I mean. But you take a real real real look, you might say, God, he might be way better than he actually looks here because he’s very in proportions.”
