seems like a good guy. seems to tell it like it is and has a good laugh with everyone else about the 'hydroxycut' stuff. i can see y arnold would be upset, as dex shot down a chance to say how hard of a worker he is (even if he isn't, it still looks good on paper), and made arnold look a little stupid by saying he didn't pose at all, but one thing u never wanna hear from a champion is that theyre lazy. it kind of makes the whole process of competing look stupid, that a lazy person can win. anyway, just my thoughts.
-
A simple ploy by dex to make people think he is so far superior to everyone else...that your supreme efforts do not allow you to come near his development, which allow him to be the best in the world, and with supposed minimal effort. Kicker is he does not have to spawn such falsehoods...they only take away from his integrity
-
moosejay, r u suggesting that dex trains for more than an hour a day and does practice his posing?
-
I believe he does.
However, if he does not, its disingenuous to come across to all in his dismissive, shoulder-shrugging, 'ain't no big thang' way that he does.
And, its disrespectful to Arnold.
Almost like when Zane, during 1979's post interview with Arnold on national tv, that Zane made it seem like he had beaten Arnie the week before.
Disrespectful.
-
Additionally, it must be agreed that at least, at one time, Dex had to work and pounish himself, and extremely hard, and have ever-lasting training sessions to build the best physique owned on the planet by him today. Maybe he should add that he does not train the same as he once did. That could defuse the disdain of Arnold and others...
-
he does come across as arrogant... he should have said something a bit better than only 1 hour a day and dosen't do anything else... just proves that he is loaded full of ecery fucken drug out there...
BTW i do like dex so im not ripping on him, but he still should have said something a little better
-
dexter sounds like/is a dick. But, i believe him, hour day of fine tuning and more drugs. I mean, at some point in the past, he must have work hard to get that built and posing down tho. BTW, hydrocut hardcore is great for a pickup. ;)
-
Arnold said " what do you feel like winning three times in a ROW " ??? i think he missed his morning coffee or something lol
-
Dexter was a fool in that clip - Arnold had every right to pop the "pills" question at him after his unbelieveable arrogance and corporate kiss-arseing.
-
I think the way Dex down played everything was stupid. He made it seem like prep for the show was easy, training was easy, and being a bb'er is easy. He may have only trained an hour a day, but he should have said something a little better than just that. We want to hear how hard it was training and getting ready, not that it was easy.

"... I prayed to God"
Ha ha ha. Funniest part right here.
-
I love how Arnold called out Dexter and said this was from taking "pills" and Dexter looking like a deer in headlights retorted by saying, 'Hydroxycut.' Yeah, OK. ::)
Long live The King! And I don't mean Dexter. ;D
-
lol i think he was just having a little fun, made the seriousness of the moment dull slightly and Arnold was just as equally smartass to him

if u were dexter, what would u say in response to arnold's 'pill' comment?
"yeah, i did take a few pills. a bit of d-bol, aswell as some hgh and test injections..."
i dont think so! :) bbing is alot about hiding the drug use and dexter is actually doing a good thing by promoting NATURAL products. hey, it likely won't get u anywhere as near as muscular as dexter, but it's safer than using drugs and it's better for the bbing/supplement industry.
-

Did he say that?
Oh, puh-leeze.
As if God were against all others that night, except for him (Aside from all the felonies committed by him and all other 'champs' on stage-sure God is not with him there...)
-
from now on, Dex won't win anything in Columbus or anything that has Arnold involved
-

i dont think so!
You're right, I wouldn't have. I would've said I was part of Muscle Asylum's Project. :P
-
Wonder what Arnie thinks of drugs?
-

lol. thing is, dex didnt say he was taking hydroxycut. so if u want to get technical, there are other reasons as to why he could have brought the name up (in theory, anyway).

it works for ronnie coleman he is 8 time olympian he thanks god all the time.....for all the drug he can take without getting caught

I think there's only one reason as to why he threw the name Hydroxycut out there - they're his sponsor.

Dexter was just telling it like it is. Why would you want him to lie?
@ssload of steroids + 1 h/day training = champion physique.

Dexter= VERY POOR SELF-MARKETER

Yes, people prefer people who lie about "hard work" and cardio when in fact it's all drugs...

Like it or not, true or false, anyone in business will tell you it's all marketing.
-
Dex was just being honest! :D
-

I guess. But he has good contracts, doesn't he? Maybe he just isn't as greedy as others and is happy with earning "only" a few million dollars.

exactly my point. the guy seems pretty honest about most things, judging from his interview, but since he's not gonna say he used drugs, what else can he say? :) he knows who writes his cheques.
-

There is absolutely no way he comes remotely close to that number. MAYBE a half mil pre-taxed. Probably not even that much.
-
im sure dex is living very comfortably from areas outside of sponsorship and contest winnings.
-
so long as he is saving, investing and NOT pissing $ away to purvey some asinine lifestyle (precedent would tell you he is not doing this)
-
He could have said "Well Arnold, I'm a genetic freak and to be honest I don't have to work too hard for my condition - unlike some of the guys onstage today" and people would have thought a lot better of the guy.
His lack of ability to be forthcoming makes people think he's a tosser. Which he probably isn't.
Kudos to Arnold for doing a good interview. A guy like Dexter is just about your worst interview candidate.
