Title: 2018 Olympia - Dexter Jackson - Can he win the Olympia?
Post by: Royalty on August 26, 2018, 12:58:28 PM
For those who think that Dexter will win the Olympia, Let’s not forget that he might have serious issues with his left bicep again

He needs to retire, at this point he’s never going to win again, even he said he’s in it to win it at this point, not place 2nd or beyond and that’s not happening

Top 6...is still possible for Dexter even @ 47-48 Years Old not many can claim a top 6 in the Olympia since 1965 @ over 45 years old.

IF he's still making a living and can be competitive, why not?  It's not like health is the first thing on any of their minds anyway.

Cedric can’t get in shape, and after his hospitalization, probably doesn’t want to risk it. Same with Sleepy Shawn Rhoden. Mamdouh gets close and has the size, and a good back. Roelly is closing in, but needs better conditioning and back detail. Bonac is closing in, but already is developing a gut, and has too weight on his frame. Dex, has that messed up arm, how it looks now, is anybody’s guess. He is not as sharp as he used to be. Brandon Curry has really stepped it up, how he will look against others with his new found size,  of course remains to be seen. Nathan De Asha, Michael Lockett, Sergio Oliva are up and comers.

Dexter should be gunning for the top 6. No way he wins with the messed up bicep and melted calves. Ramy is realistically the only guy with a chance to upset Heath.

That he will win. Perhaps I'm totally off base with the theory I have, but it's an educated one being around this sport as part of the media for over a decade. Kind of behind-the-scenes shit.

If the bicep is no longer an issue, he could win it.  I am not as bold as Joe in predicting that he will win, although I'd love to see it happen.  I'll be more shocked if Dexter finishes outside of the top 5/6 than if he wins the whole thing.  I think the bicep is healed and he is training abs for perhaps the first time ever in an effort to flatten out his midsection.  I expect a hell of a good Dexter Jackson come Olympia time.

Using site enhancement oil to the extent that it's noticeable in order to fix lagging or damaged body parts heralds the end of any bodybuilder's career 100% of the time, as history's shown us with Nasser, Ernie Taylor, Markus, Jay, and many more.

It's not any realistic aspiration to winning the Olympia at the age of 49 that's motivating him to diet down and compete on stage anymore. It's his ego, plain and simple. He won't stop showing up until he places close to last or suffers a major health setback, though even that doesn't stop the Don Longs and Kris Dims of this world. These guys - every single one of them - are mentally ill. Severely. The only exceptions were Haney and Arnold, though the latter continued abusing drugs into the late 1980s, at a minimum, for his film career and was twice operated for heart problems, so come to think of it, he's a wackjob too.

Every competitor has flaws and Jackson is no exception. But I think that he will come in the ay he always does with conditioning and symmetry while some of the other top guys may not be as tight. Heath will be at his best again in all likelihood, but that has nothing to do with why I feel he will be dethroned.

Do you see any flaws in this photo of him? If anyone had a perfect physique on a short frame, it was him. He got robbed many times. But his time has passed. He wasn't a tier 1 bodybuilder but he came damn close.

I was wrong about Dexter but Rhoden winning strengthened my theory, which was that Heath was going to get spanked by Weider/AMI for biting the hand that fed him well for 13-plus years. Once he wasn't with them, he played footsie with MD and was gushing in his Ronline (I hate even typing that) interview, waxing poetically how great it was to finally be able to speak to them and wished that he could have done it years ago.

Plus Heath shit all over the IFBB's new puppy, classic physique, earlier in the year.

His cockiness and unpopularity made him bad for business and what better way to shove it up his ass but to have someone else beat him just as he is ready to enter the record books? Heath was boasting on that MD interview that he may retire after winning 10 consecutive Sandows.

It would have been difficult to call someone else's name if Heath blew away the field. But Rhoden rightfully won and made it a slam dunk to give Heath a smack. I had guessed Dexter because he has won a Sandow and is usually on point and Rhoden took a step back last year at the Olympia due to a difficult prep with a wired jaw and then postponing the Arnold, which he intended on entering.

Good attempt at avoiding the fact you was way out with the dexter prediction
You never mentioned Rhoden as a threat - Theory out the window.

Though Rhoden / Roelly & Bonac should’ve placed ahead of heath.
If they’d wanted to “Spank” him the other 2 would’ve placed ahead of him.

He got beat because he wasn’t good enough.
End of.

I love Dex he is one of my heroes dude has been top 10 at the Olympia since I became interested in bodybuilding pageants, and he still looks damn awesome. But unfortunately he never upped the gas or changed his physique so he never got another O I think he should be at least a 3 time O winner. I was never a big fan of Jay and besides 01, and 09 (the one he looked similar to 01).

He's decent, far from the GOAT.

Would you say Mike Matarazzo, Bob Chick or King Kamali were tier 1? All were on the Olympia stage at various times. I need to know in case I'm sipping on a drink so i don't spray my monitor while bursting a lung.
