“I put myself in position to win every show, including the Mr. Olympia. This year, my focus is to take myself from fifth, where I was last year, to the top three, and the way to do that is to take out guys who beat me last year. Specifically, that means Dexter Jackson. This year, it will be more obvious that I should do that. Bodybuilding is about comparisons pose-to-pose, and my package will be better from top to bottom. If you have five poses that you’re winning out of the eight, you beat that guy, and I beat Dexter in a lot of shots. I beat him in the rear lat spread, front lat spread, rear double biceps, and we’re pretty even in the side chest, so I think I should push past him this time. I think the only way he beat me last year was because his glutes were a little more striated.
Melvin shows up with a smooth ass at every single contest, he shouldn't even be trying to compare himself to Dexter
-
bla bla bla Typical crap talk that goes on all the time. ::) For once I wish these guys would just shut up and not say a word and let their physiques do the talking for them.
-
Smooth ass...you sound dissapointed :-X
-
Melvin should be more devastated that little David Henry beat him! JOJ is a good bodybuilder. Not better than Melvin in my opinion, but getting beat by Henry ought to tell you that your conditioning was OFF.
Melvin, instead of focusing on Dexter (who clearly beat you last time and every time out), focus on NOT losing to David "bantamweight" Henry, Quincy "I look better than the world-including Freeman" Taylor, and Johnny "G4P is ok" Jackson.
Hope this helps.
-
he looked good lately but hes saving that 99% for the olympia, hr really has the physique of a real bber along with Dex.
-
See the thing is about "saving yourself" for a show, you show up looking subpar and people WILL remember that. Plus, you take a chance [like he did] of losing to guys that you normally wipe the floor with.
-
Melvin thinks he can beat Dexter ? I'm sorry, but not on this Planet ... maybe on Nepture or something. It's a GIVEN that Dexter will come in Conditioned ... Melvin on the other hand ... :-\
-
haha side chest almost even? Dexters side-chest is the best in bbing history. This guy is talking jibberish.

that would be too much to ask for

jibba-jabba! ;D

Dexter is one of the most overrated guys out there. Like Kamali, he gets at least two places up on his name alone. But since unlike Kamali he's not getting a gift 8th when he was really 11th in a 3rd-tier show, no one really calls him on it. Both Melvin and Toney Freeman are better than him now, and both Heath and Wolf will pass him up shortly.
-
i don't know i think hes right he could beat dexter
-
If he can get absolutely ripped he can beat Dexter, but for whatever reason he seems to miss his peak come show day.
-
his structure is far and away better than Dex
-

Agreed, but that has yet to be seen. Personally I would lik to see Melvin come in ripped for once and see what he looks like in shredded condition.
-
IMO i think that dexters level of muscle shape, quality and condition is too much for melvin. Dexter is damn near flawless, and comes in ripped to the ass cheek. Melvin is a great bodybuilder and i am a fan of his look but, i personally think that dex is too much of a genetic beast for melvin to handle.. We'll have to see.... right Melvin?
-
melvin anthony needs to stop running his giant mouth. he can beat dexter once he learns how to diet the right way instead of eating bullshit leading up to a show and relying soley on his shape and whatever drug cocktail hes got fixed up.
-
I don't think Melvin can catch up to Dexter's conditioning by Olympia time or if he can get that "grainy" look at all. Dexter like Ronnie naturally looks very dry at competition time but Melvin like Jay while in great shape has more of a less grainy type of conditioning. Pure genetics but Melvin definitely has the muscle now to possibly overcome Dexter....but not likely ;)
-
Dexter is easily top three in the world.
-
Dexter is what the modern Mr. Olympia would look like in an ideal world. JMO.
-
Ahhhhhhhhhh, NO! ::)

Melvin must have been inhaling too many fumes while doing manicures, if he thinks he is going to place higher than Dex. He's got a decent frame (weird abdomen) but has never really brought the conditioning. Dex hits it 9/10 times. Dex is a more complete BB, has structure, density for his size and conditioning. Melvin is like Flex, relies to heavily on his structure, and doesn't seem to put the training and dieting in to nail the conditioning. He would have to be 100% and Dex would have to be 80% for him to place higher than Dex.
He after getting beat out by DH, he really needs to take the fact that Conditioning is a huge part of the show. People just telling you that you are genetically gifted won't win you any shows.
Dex looks damn good here.

Melvin is a great BBer, but Dexter is on another level right now.
Melvin would have to push himself to the absolute limit to touch Dex.
-
haha Melvin cant be serious. Put the weed away bro, it is doing something to you.
-
Ahhhhhhhhhh, NO! ::)
Shawn, I usually agree with your viewpoints, but I think you are off base here
If both were in great condition (I know Melvin rarely hits top form), Melvin is a better bodybuilder. Why? Because his structure is far superior to that of Dex. Melvin has the best structure in the "game" since Flex

Dex>Melvin
-
I also believe that melvin just has really thicke skin and that has to do with him not getting in that OMG type of conditioning.
-
If Jay beat Ronnie ,anything can happen
-
Dexter is easily top three in the world.
LOL, he looks like Eddie murphy!
-
I think that Dex is better - BUT - Dex has no room for improvement and has come in the same (albeit a tad less sharp) every show since 2004.
Melvin on the other hand, has put on 15 pounds of muscle during 04 to 07.
If shredded, the judges might award him over Dex for his improvements. Remember, bodybuilding judges sadly compare you to your FORMER showings, not just the other guys. Chic confirmed that, remember? Plus, the excitement factor - Dex is bland. Melvin is a fascinating story right now. They do reward that.
-
Ahhhhhhhhhh, NO! ::)
Shawn you are cracking me up!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh, NO! :)
I agree - Melvin needs to be concern with his body and not who he is competing against. Silvio , Wilmore, Dugdale, Rockell, Harris ,Henry, Charles , Melvin ,wolfe looks to be the second set of 6 callout or Third. That Top spot - is owned - Victor, Toney, Jay, Ronnie, Dexter, Gustavo.- They are all focused and not coming off disappointing outings - so to speak - (top 3 is never a lost)
Melvin's 4th is not a warm up - this is clear sign he is not up to Par. He should hold off and do the Ironman and A to regain his form - if not I can see him fading back to the Top 12 / With Marcus Haley, tricky jackson, kai greene - pulling out entertaining routines and coming in Shape - Melvin will not be Marvelous but just mediocre -TRUE STORY -

WHY CANT THESE GUYS JUST SAY..."HEY I WILL BE IN MY BEST SHAPE AND WILL DO MY BEST".......IF THEY BEAT ANOTHER GUY AND PLACE HIGH GREAT..IF THEY DONT OH WELL LEAST THEY DONT LOOK STUPID FROM ALL THE TALK BEFORE HAND...JUST GET IN TOP SHAPE AND DO THE BEST YOU CAN THATS ALL.....FORGET ALL THIS CRAP TALK...MEANS NOTHING

because if they win they get to say they owned the shit out of them. but most of the time they dont win when they talk shit LOL. what if melvin did win? eeps. everyone else would look like little children compared to him.

Kev Would should up subpar for the Arnold (2000-2003) and he would blow away the competition at the O. he was losing to guys like Priest---at one point it looked like Priest's arms were bigger than Levrone's calves. I guess you're right about people remembering subpar performances...

Could not agree more, walk quitely and let your body do the talking on show day.

King is a good example. He lets his body do all the talking. Nobody can stop him
-
I give him 8th or 9th tops! :-\

Structure alone does not win shows. IF IF IF IF IF, Melvin has never once looked good to me, always soft from behind. once melvin comes in shape, then we can make this comparison, until then, he just lost to David Henry....

you don't think he looked good at last year's Olympia?
-

he must be talking about Melvin, because King didn't qualify for the O
