Anytime I read that a top tier bodybuilder has to pull out from a major contest because of exhaustion or too much going on it always leaves me quite puzzled. When Andrew Jacked announced that he was out of the 2024 Arnold Classic due to this very type of excuse it didn’t sit well with me. The much-talked about bodybuilder stated he didn’t want to do the 2nd biggest show in bodybuilding unless he could bring 100% to the stage. That’s certainly commendable, but it makes very little sense.
