Very few have had an impact on bodybuilding as Ronnie Coleman. An 8 Mr. Olympia champion, his physique has often been described by most as the perfect sample of shape, symmetry, and muscle. Therefore, his words on anything bodybuilding-related are seldom ignored. In more recent times, he shared his thoughts on upcoming bodybuilder Andrew Jacked who has created waves in his first-ever appearance.

In a recent episode of ‘Nothing But a Podcast’, Ronnie Coleman talked about his bodybuilding journey and shared his opinions on various bodybuilders along the way. He also shared his overall positive take on a young bodybuilder from UAE.

Coleman shared his thoughts on winning chances of Andrew Jacked in future

“Yeah!! Buddy”, Coleman started the episode in his signature catchphrase before expressing his joy at the prospect of Mr. Olympia having returned to Las Vegas. The conversation continued until the interviewer brought up the name ‘Andrew Jacked’.

In response Coleman said, “Andrew.. He’s still kind of new to the sport, so I think he’s still got some things to work on”, sharing his skepticism about him. He continued, “Kind of hard to just come in and overtake guys that’s been around for a long time, and they’ve grown in a certain way that you hadn’t had a chance to mature in”. Coleman’s words were aimed to highlight the practicality of the issue. He further continued, “I think once he gets to where those guys are, he can probably have a chance of winning too, but not right now. He’s just too young”.

A realistic approach to any sport, let alone bodybuilding, is always the smarter choice. Coleman’s advice can pave a similar path for Jacked to follow.

Jacked often uses his Instagram to post pictures of his ‘jacked’ physique and his workout routine. The 6’2″ tall man grabbed everyone’s attention at last year’s Mr. Olympia in December. This becomes even more valuable given the fact that it was his first year ever in the realm of bodybuilding. Coleman was considerably impressed at that feat.

“That’s never happened before. At Least I’ve never heard of it happen before..”, said Coleman about the budding bodybuilder’s surprise rise in his debut year.

Jacked is a former Kickboxer and CrossFit athlete, who then pursued bodybuilding to achieve IFBB Pro League Status. In no time, he rose up the ranks and became a popular name in the circuit. Jacked got involved in bodybuilding last year, and subsequently qualified for Olympia 2022.

He came in at 8th position in his debut Olympia despite suffering from severe fever. He is now a serious contender to claim the title this year. Although seemingly normal, it is a crazy feat to achieve and deserves commendation. What do you think of Coleman’s views on Jacked?
