Terrick El Guindy believes Andrew Jacked is a contender if he comes in at his very best.
Bodybuilder Andrew Jacked has gained plenty of attention in Men’s Open since making his debut. He recently appeared at the Fibo Championships and his performance has taken expectations to the next level. Recently, bodybuilding judge Terrick El Guindy stated that Jacked will be difficult to beat if he comes in at his very best.

“He’s got the genetics, everything in place. He just needs to nail at the Mr. Olympia with the fullness, with the conditioning, and this guy can eventually dominate bodybuilding because his lines are incredible. He’s got the mass.”
Jacked recently finished third at the Arnold, behind Derek Lunsford and Samson Dauda. He went toe-to-toe with the top two from the 2025 Olympia. Jacked finished fifth on the biggest stage last year, continuing his upward trajectory in the Men’s Open division.
Jacked took the stage during the Fibo Championships as a last-minute entrant and dominated from the early moments. El Guindy discussed the performance and was impressed with how Jacked entered the finals at night.

Is Andrew Jacked The Next Mr. Olympia?
During a recent episode of OlympiaTV, El Guindy broke down Andrew Jacked’s performance in Germany. He brought insane conditioning into the final portion of the show and this sparked conversations about his expectations at the 2025 Olympia.
“At the finals, he was a lot harder and that was an amazing performance. That is why he ended up winning the show. He had better conditioning for the finals.”
Since winning his first-ever show at the EBBF Ajmaan Bodybuilding and Physique Contenst in the UAE in 2021, Jacked has been a star in Men’s Open. He was able to earn his Pro Card and jump into the pro ranks. Jacked competed at the Arnold Amateur that year and added one more victory before taking the next step. He won the 2022 Texas Pro and qualified for his first Olympia competition. Jacked has now won three consecutive Texas Pro titles and has improved on his Olympia standing each year.
If Jacked is going to improve at the Olympia once again, he will be able to compete for the top spot. His performance at the Fibo opened the eyes of fans, judges, and should have even brought the bodybuilder more confidence.
“This is a great experiment for Andrew Jacked because he gets to test his physique, earns his qualification. Now, he gets into the Olympia saying ‘if I can come in at prejudging like I did at the finals in Germany, man I’m going to be a very, very tough guy to beat.”
