I saw him at the Ark state show. I'd say 5'6 is about correct.

5'6"

Ok.. in comparison to lee priest (5'4 right) is he "significantly" appear taller? 235 lbs of ripped mass on a 5'6 guy is weird, but im sure 2 inches shorter on another guy must be A LOT weirder?

5' 7"... I met Dex a couple of years ago at a gym in New York called PRESCRIPTIVE FITNESS. It was  GREAT GYM...started by a couple of doctors of sports medicine which had all sorts of unique equipment. As people found out about this gym, which was started as a physical therapy and rehab gym ONLY, they begged to join and the doctors at first declined and then after a while allowed a select few to join. After a while the membership grew tremendously and the money poured in. The doctors really fixed the gym up into a HARDCORE place. There were seven squat racks, eight leg presses, eight leg extensions, eight leg curls of all types, calf machines up the ying yang, the gym was so full of equipment that you would be tripping over equipment just trying to get to the machine you wanted. Every well known name from ICARIAN, HAMMER, FLEX, BODY MASTERS, ELITE, STRIVE, KING, etc was represented in this HUGE GYM. I LOVED IT. Gym stayed open until 2:00 AM and re-opened at 5:00 AM (might as well have been 24 hours).

THEN CALAMITY STRUCK!!!!!! Gold Gym decided to buy the gym and it was down hill from that time on. The gym sucks now the membership fee went WAAAAAAY up and they took out a LOT of the equipment...FUCKED THE PLACE UP MAJORLY trying to make it more fitness oriented than HARDCORE. In any case I haven't been there in a long time after the change..and much of the membership disappeared as well. But in that time I would see Dex in there working out. It was during the time competitions were going on in New York...nice guy...

I met him at at steak house at the Arnold a couple of years ago.  He struck me as being more than 5'6", but I could be wrong.  I would guess more in the 5'7-8" range.

I am not sure why the doctors sold the gym (I don't think it was money)...They are still doctors of sports medicine (which maybe why I saw Dex in there. He might have had a consultation and then came into the gym to work out. I forgot to mention the doctors offices were on two floors above the gym) and they still have their business...maybe managing the massive gym (two HUGE  floors) and its membership was too much to handle along with the patients so they sold to Golds hoping they would do a good job of keeping up the great atmosphere and equipment...NOT...GOLDS FAILED BIG TIME.

I REALLY MISS THAT PLACE...

His training partner then cannot be taller than 5 ft.
I remember seeing him in BFTO 2003 he appeared much shorter.

Why would you have a training partner that was barely over 5ft tall?
