Men’s Open Bodybuilding
As Evolutionofbodybuilding.net predicted, the battle for the top three spots at the 2023 Texas Pro was spot on, with the battle being between Andrew Jacked, Hunter Labrada and Carlos Thomas Jr.
The battle for the top spot was between Andrew Jacked and Hunter Labrada, with Andrew taking the top prize and qualification to the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
After flying high after his victory in Tampa, Hunter Labrada had to face reality when he stood beside the massive and condition Andrew Jacked.
Andrew was very impressive and intimidating to every competitor that stood beside him. Andrew will surely be a threat to Hadi Choopan’s Mr. Olympia title.
Carols Thomas Jr., could not have a more difficult pro debut. If it was any other show, Carlos would have surely won, but in Texas, he got a taste of what the Pro League is all about. Carlos should be very proud of his third place finish.

- Second Place — Hunter Labrada
- Third Place — Carlos Thomas Jr.
- Fourth Place — Lewis Breed
- Fifth Place — Jordan Hutchinson

Men’s 212 Bodybuilding
The Men’s 212 Bodybuilding lived up to expectations, with the favorite Keone Pearson winning and earning his 2023 Olympia Weekend qualification.
Keone not only dominated this event, but he is going full-steam into the 2023 Olympia Weekend with the goal of winning the 212 Bodybuilding title. Keone will have a difficult task dethroning Shaun Clarida, but Keone’s incredible symmetry and muscle balance when on point is unbeatable.
Second place went to Noel Adame, who displayed a physique packed with muscle and was in great condition, but Keone had the edge with a more aesthetic look.
Third-place finisher Francisco Barrios was also in good condition, but he lacked the muscle mass compared to the top two. Francisco needs to add more muscle to his frame, especially his leg development.
- First Place — Keone Pearson
- Second Place — Noel Adame
- Third Place — Francisco Barrios Vik
- Fourth Place — Jason Joseph
- Fifth Place — Justin Jacoby
Men’s Classic Physique
The Men’s Classic Physique is becoming one of the most popular divisions in the sport of bodybuilding, attracting a large number of athletes at every event.
The 2023 Texas Pro Men’s Classic Physique event had a deep line-up of 29 athletes, all fighting for the victory and 2023 Olympia Weekend qualification.
This event was a perfect example of never taking anything for granted, especially a victory.
Going into the event, both Logan Franklin and Rober Timms were favorites to win the event.
The top athletes should never take Olympia qualification for granted, and they should plan two to three events, just in case one of them does not go their way.
Robert and Logan might be the bigger athletes, but Jae Hun Park presented a perfect example of what a Classic Physique should look like.
Both Logan and Robert had the size to overpower Jae Hun Park, but they could match his great condition.
Robert has the potential to dominate this division, and in time he will. The same can be said for Logan. The bodybuilding world knows what Logan can do, and he is a proven winner, we just need to see him on stage more often.
At the end of the battle, Robert Timms had to settle for second, while Logan Franklin finished in third.
- First Place — Jae Hun Park
- Second Place — Robert Timms
- Third Place — Logan Franklin
- Fourth Place — Benjamin Zimmerman
- Fifth Place — Dancovea Anderson
