Title: Dexter Jackson equals Class Act
Post by: ag2 on October 08, 2007, 03:12:28 PM
I just wanted to share a positive story because BB's are often the subject of such negativity on this board.  Dexter was the guest poser at the 2007 Musclebeach Classic held in Edmonton, AB this past weekend. I have to say that the man was pure class all the way.  He looked great at the guest posing being that he was only a week removed from the Olympia but it was refreshing to see an in shape pro at a guest posing spot. He posed to two whole songs and actually went into the crown to hit some great shots.  After he spoke for a few minutes about the sport and how he loved to see the smaller competitions still keeping the spirit alive.  Beyond all that he stayed late talking to fans after the show and was nice enough to let people take pictures with him regardless of the fact that they bought a signed picture of him or not. (Take notes Mr. Ferrigno) It was funny I actually think that his picture sales increased because of this and because of the word of mouth as to how nice he was.  So there you have it a positive experience with an IFBB pro I just wish others could take a page from Dexter's book.

Hahaha he was probably nice because he wasn't low carbed for once. I imagine he ate some after the show. I can pull a 180 in attitude in a days time by allowing myself more food.

Dex is underrated he is consistant he's always one of the best conditioned guys he can run with the big dogs and ironically he's not that small he's probably the same height as Shawn Ray as competes at 230 pounds Vs Shawn's 205 , overall an excellent competitor.

Not really into Hockey, sorry :)

The hockey arena downtown is a really fancy area, but very few people actually go there for hockey. Mostly for the bars and restaurants around it.

I met Dexter in 2001 when he came to Australia for the fitness expo.

He was great to me. Maybe he's only nice to people if they look like they lift rather than the rest of the smhoes ;)

There's a whole other side to DEX. While married he has POPPED a plethora of figure/fitness sluts. Just a year ago I witnessed him trying to get a well known figure girl who posts here to go back to his hotel at this show he guest posed at. She was repulsed.

 I aint naming no names but everyone..or, eh..ERRbody got another side to them.

Just cause somebody is a pimp doesn't mean they are an ass...unless you have morals and values.

Besides it seems like everybody screws everybody in the fitness industry....it's just that no one talks about it.

I was being sarcastic.  ;)

If you have morals and values then you would probably think someone is an ass for cheating on their wife, but if you don't...then it's like who cares!  Go for it!

Not everyone believes that marriage and/or monogamy is the ideal though.

And that's fine, but just make sure BOTH people in the relationship know that and are cool with that.

A lot of the time it's okay for one to  be monogamous and the other to go out and have fun.

I guess it is easy to hang shit on pros or guess their persona based on an internet board, I wonder how many people that comment on their lives and reps have actually met them or spent time with them.

Dexter is a stand up guy, he has supported my pro show since 2001 (won it 2 times). He has stayed in touch and always helped to promote the show and encourage the up and coming pros. This year he came out to Australia after getting second in the Arnold. It would be easy for someone of his ranking to ignore the smaller shows and stay home.

I have heard that he is an ass to work with and I call bullshit. He is so laid back it is funny, knows how to represent his sponsor and is always grateful for the way he is treated. He stays at the expo until the last fan has gone.

Dexter is a class act!

That's not realistic.  People lie to get what they want.

True and that's why what you do is loud I can't hear what you say.

People never tell the truth about themselves, but they always show you who they really are.

The signs are always there.
