2022 Texas Pro Results

The bodybuilding world is buzzing in the aftermath of the Texas Pro, which was held on the weekend of Aug. 12 and 13 in Irving, Texas. That’s because of the final moments of the men’s open contest, which came down to the wire in the eyes of the judges. The top four finishers were brought back out for extra comparisons during the Saturday night finals, which was obviously a treat for the fans in attendance. In the end, a new star was born in the Lone Star State. Here is the recap of what happened.

Men’s Open

Winner - Chinedu Andrew Obiekea (Andrew Jacked)

Chinedu Andrew Obiekea is known by another name, Andrew Jacked, and that is actually what he prefers to be known as. This was his pro debut, and he had just won his pro card at the 2022 Arnold Amateur in March of this year. While he was considered someone with a promising future, not many had him coming in and beating this lineup. He did more than that, he convincingly took the win by winning both rounds of judging. He was huge, ripped, and will be a problem for the men competing in the Olympia.

2nd - Martin Fitzwater

Another surprise came in the runner-up position. Martin Fitzwater was outsized by Jacked, but he was shredded and confident. His career took another big step forward by beating veterans such as Steve Kuclo, Kamal Elgargni, and the rest of the lineup. Fitzwater has a lot of potential to be a star in the future, and if he competes again this season, he may take a win himself.

3rd - Steve Kuclo

Unfortunately for Kuclo, this is the second straight year he was beat in his home state. He appeared to be frustrated when he was announced in third place, but that was where the judges had him on the scorecards for both rounds. The rest of the top ten are as follows.

  1. Chinedu Andrew Obiekea (Andrew Jacked)
  2. Martin Fitzwater
  3. Steve Kuclo
  4. Kamal Elgargni
  5. Quinton Eriya
  6. Jephte Cherenfant

  10. Eddie Bracamontes

Jordan Janowitz rounded out the top three.
