Title: Dexter Jackson VS Phil Heath, Virtual Posedown !
Post by: Stavios on February 19, 2008, 11:36:20 AM
Before comparing the pics, I had in mind that Dexter was much more complete and would most likely win the Arnold Classic. But after those comparaisons, I think Phil is just as complete ( even from the back !) and much freakier !!

Dexter only wins the Abs and tighs and the Rear lat spread, I give all the other poses to Phil

I was thinkin dexter would win also, after seeing those, i'm not so sure.  Its actually probably going to be a race for second between those two.  Kamali has first place locked down.  He's coming in his best condition EVER ;D

Anyone think that Heath needs a fuller chest?  It seems narrow to me.

Otherwise, if he can come in with this conditioning, I think Heath has a great chance of taking the Arnold and making a strong showing in the top three at the Olympia.

hopefully, phil heath can spread his clavicle bones by 4 inches for the Arnold.

It will be close, dex is holding his own next to phil, i like dexters side chest shot better then phils, you also have to remember phil is about 15lbs heavier then dex.

Tomanator said that Phil was 230 onstage at the Ironman

Dexter, like Wolf, has high lats and mediocre calves.  But nobody has Wolf's width.

I doubt dex competes at 230lbs, more like 220lbs max.  Phil was in the upper 230's on stage.

Nah Dex looks better.  Phil has a better most muscular though.  Plus that was Phils best ever conditioning.  You have to make sure you get pics with Dex's best ever as well.

also dex has a way better abs and thight pose then phil, phils abs r not very pleasing to the eye.

Remember the Ironman lighting is deceiving as said on PBW. Its more about conditioning this time not size. You can't deny though that Phil's arms, calves, and overall  size is superior to Dexter's in those shots. Can't wait to see if Kai and Melvin chisels their new mass like Phil has.

Maybe Dex used a bigger towel.

no way does dex look drier than phil.  From the front look at phils leg detail compared to dex

I think Phil has set a new standard for dryness, the only person to have had this type of dryness is Pavol Jablonicky, but he was no where near as freaky as Phil

I tried to be the most non-biased possible while choosing the pics

I don't feel Dexter really has a "Best ever", he always looks the same
his best condition was at the 2003 Olympia but he was a little smaller too

I think it will be very close between them !

Post by: IFBBwannaB on February 19, 2008, 04:36:00 PM
The major factor is the Dex have very poor thigh sweep while Phil have great legs.Unless Phil screws up his conditon and Dex comes in dialed it will be game over for Dex.

I give the edge to Phil, but like Dexter's ab and side-chest shots.

I say Phil.  His lower body is much better than Dexter.

Post by: Riddick on February 19, 2008, 05:31:18 PM
Damn, that's tough. Good photos though. I'm gonna have to go with Phil. Not by much, but that's my choice.

Conditioning: Same

Size: Phil

Shape: Dexter

*Phil has calves & Dexter doesn't. If it comes down to the wire, that will play a factor at the ASC.

A reminisce of Arnold vs. Chet at the '66 NABBA Universe.

I think Phil will take it unless Melvin dials it in perfect;
but he is known for ham/glute conditioning problems.
He looked huge though with his 2 week AC preview.
I am with Bob and Dan when they said Phil has everything
Dexter has and then some.
I don't think however good Phil is @ the Arnold the pics will
look as good because the lighting at the Ironman has always
been better than at the Arnold.

Mr. Phil "Red Bird Chicken" Heath would win!!

Last year the judges didnt play into the hype and Phil got 5th.  He has put it on quick but it aint mature.  Cycles please.  Melvin is the dark horse in the show.  If he is better than his last O showing...he should win.  Dont tell me Phil has better structure.  Again...Phil is good but this is complete overkill. 

1. Dex or Melvin
3. Phil or Warren
5. Badell or somebody

Phil edged Badell like he did Charles at the CO Pro.

Phil is better in those photos.  But, let's be fair. The Dex photos are last year.  Last year photos of Phil would not compare to Dex's.

yes and no.
he goes up so slow, you don't see the change.
also a guy like him, with that metabolism, he cant put on size so easily...probably inches up 2-4 pounds a year at best...this is why he LOOKS the same year after year. although he comes in slightly heavier each time.

props to him for not ruining his shape.
although he's not improving as quickly as some other guys do.
its 50/50.

one one side...its more and more quality to his muscles.
