Dexter's numbers on his DVD cover and his chest was stated to be only 46inches..... hmmmm...the top muscleman with only 46inch chest?
His arms were stated to be 22inches though, and waist 27.5inches
-
Seems about right. If you've seen him in person, you'd agree.
I don't know about the waist though.

Dude is 5'6, and chances are, has better "pec" quality than you. Physical Measurements sometimes are not the the best representative. As the saying goes a 16 inch arm cut up is bteer than a 20 inch bulky arm. Or Look at Phil Heath's arms versus Paul Dillett's. Paul arms are bigger than Phil's, but Phil's arms have more detail, thus giving looking more impressive.

27.5" waist and he competes at about 225 at 5'6"? Impressive especially in this day in age. Probably because he gained his weight so gradually instead of blowing up in a year or two.

That may be his waist but that's not his abdominal circumference.

27.5 in waist on a 5'6" man that weighs 230 lbs. that's really funny

He's 223 tops...And that is being gracious.

It would be great if one of the skilled computer dudes on here could create elipses that measure what these guy claim, so we can see what the visual difference would really look like.

sounds as if you don't realize how big a true 46 inch chest is, that's probably his TRUE measurement as opposed to the fake 60 inch measurements you hear of.

so is it not possible Groink?
-
im 5"7 and have a SMALL chest and its 43.7 inches.. And I weigh 165..
So dexter is 60 pounds heavier then me with only 3 inch bigger chest?
No way.

bullshit on you having an almost 44 inch chest, you can't even bench 225 by your own admission. ::)

109cm. Probably mostly due to my lats, but there is no way in HELL dexter only has a 46 inch chest.

Just checked it now 109cm on the dot.
around the chest and back..
How high should it be? nipple?
-

What isn't possible?
Dexter's waist being 27 inches?
IMO no fucking way. i just watched a fight from 1986 between Evander Holyfied and Dwight Qawi. The announcer said that Evander waist was measured at 29 inches pre-fight and he weighd 190 lbs at 6'2". And his waist looked absolutley tiny, much smaller than Jackson's, who claims his is 1.5 inches smaller at 40 more pounds on a 5'6" frame.
-
No way his waist is 27.5. Melvin Anthony claims to have a 28 inch waist (I'm sure that's bullshit too) and his looks smaller than Dex's.
-

(http://i39.tinypic.com/iqwio6.jpg)
well just about 109cm (and not working out lol)
(http://i43.tinypic.com/whclea.jpg)
109 centimeters = 42.9 inch lets say 43 lol.
So NO WAY he only has a 46 inch chest.

and yet it looks like you've never been in a gym, what's with the lesions on your chest? ???
-

lesions? acne? birthmarks? ;D
I have a strange color disfiguration on one side of my chest also, cant remember what its called though lol.
-
(http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/09WJgildcT2Ta/340x.jpg)
only 3 inches bigger? lol.
-
actually my chest measures at around the low 40s flexed. So dexter having MUCH more pec and lat mass but only a few inches bigger.....
anyway the 46inches looked out of place (with the 22inch arms), btw they also listed down his max bench press WITH SUIT to be 500lbs.
-
Check out a ruler sometime and see how big 3 inches really is. Now imagine your pecs sticking out 3 inches more than they do now. Not too hard to believe. Also consider that his 46 is probably on stage with no fat or water. For your pecs to be that hard they would probably be 41 maybe so that is a 5 inch difference. Now check that out on a ruler and you can see that 46 is quite possible. The waist not so much but when your that wide alot people will believe that he has a sub 28" waist.
-
It's the waist sizes that are truely ridiculous.
Cutler claiming a 34 inch waist :o
Melvin a 28 inch waist ::)
Most pro's waists are well over 36 inches, cutler's is easily 38 inches
-
and yet it looks like you've never been in a gym, what's with the lesions on your chest? ???
You kidding? Here in Sweden they MAKE gyms modelled after Swede!s preference due to his gym-experience.
You must be blind if you can't see that Swede! lives and breathes gym, a TRUE gymrat.

you forget about the Back also.
his BACK should make the chest mesurement alot bigger also.
-

Yeah but even an inch is quite alot. Imagine how much bigger your arm would look if it was an inch bigger. Plus you got to take into account that his measurement isn't an offseason measurement I'm sure.
-
Dexter won't be next years Mr. Olympia.. No one wants a small Mr. Olympia. They want a Freak.. Plain and simple.
-

still, the man is on Shitloads of roids, and im not even big..

First you don't know what he takes. Second 2 inches or 3 inches of muscle growth is a helluva alot. A lean 20 inch arm is huge. It looks alot bigger than a non lean 18 inch arm. Same goes for chest or legs. It's very believable. More so than the Pros that claim 60inch pecs. Hell I've been arguing with guys on another site about leg size. Everyone claims 30inch legs which is crazy. Cutlers are like 31 in contest shape. People just don't realize how even an inch of muscle growth is alot more muscle.

ofcourse he takes alot.
Yeah but a THICK back like he has, should add a Few inches atlest imo.
-
With a deep ribcage 50" at 6ft is not that much, with a flat ribcage like Dexter has and at his height 46 already look very impressive and he could have easily said 50" and everybody would probably have believed it.
And it also matters if the ribcage is expanded, like Arnie did it in the old days, or relaxed.
-
ofcourse he takes alot.
I bet it's less than the outrageous amounts people think. I'm sure they have access to way better quality gear than the crummy underground junk most people are forced to use. I'm not saying he uses 400mgs of this with 200 of this and that's it but I'm sure you think he uses alot more than he really does.
Back would make a difference but I bet 46 is an honest measurement. Yours like I said would be far smaller than it is now if you were in contest shape.
-
I'm assuming Dexter has measured his chest in contest shape and it comes up at 46inches. It's not unbelieveable if you consider he's only 5'6" or 5'7". Not sure about the 22 inch arm though - that's pretty damn big.
-
and yet it looks like you've never been in a gym, what's with the lesions on your chest? ???
AIDS is a bitch. :P
-
some people forget that a shallow rib cage with thick pecs may have the same circumference as a deep rib cage with little pectoral development, but it will look more impressive. Also, I call bullshit on Dexter's 27.5" waist claim.
-
mine's 44.8 :D
-
lesions? acne? birthmarks? ;D

Freak?

I don't buy the whole 22" arm at all. Ronnie is probably the one of the few that it at that number.

Actually in one of the Battle for the Olympias, Melvin tape measure his waist and it was 28 inches. NOTE* This was pre Chad Nichols.
-

Melvin a 28 inch waist ::)
Most pro's waists are well over 36 inches, cutler's is easily 38 inches
I think Cutler is weeell over 40 inches, and the smallest waists within the pros are around 35 inches.
-
I think this Dexter's revelation is quite historical, it might be the first time the public hears a truthful measurement from a pro bodybuilder. The era of bullshitting has come to an end...or not.
-

Mine is smaller dieted down, But no muscles left though.
-
i call bs on dexter's chest and/or arm measurement, i am a tad under 6', 235 lbs, and my chest - inflated - is around 46"
-
My chest is around 49"
Diet me down to his leanness at my height i am guessing it would be 44
-

Bingo
Dexter's not measuring fat
-
bullshit on you having an almost 44 inch chest, you can't even bench 225 by your own admission. ::)
He'll be doing 225 for 15 reps by the time he's 21.

(http://www.europasports.com/flextime/galleries/arnold-expo2k6/2006_ac_winner_350.jpg)
His back width isnīt his strongest features, and the chest is measured relaxed. I completely believe the 46 inches.
-

Where are you holding your weight?
I am 6' and at 235 I had over a 50 inch chest and my bodyfat was rather high (around 15-17%).
I believe the chest measurement...again, this is dieted down which makes a huge difference
-
Dexter's numbers on his DVD cover and his chest was stated to be only 46inches..... hmmmm...the top muscleman with only 46inch chest?
No way!!!
At least 55 inch!
-
Yes he has a chest the size of 30% bf 6'4 strongmen competitors
-

This is why I mentioned...
Because I'm 5'7" now 230 lbs (offseason) and I was 198 in my last contest season (August 2008). And now my chest is 54".
Now Dexter is the same height as me and he's much more muscular than me...by 35 pounds at least...but almost just because of his upper body. He has a huge back and a very good chest...so he's chest onstage should be as big as mine in the offseason...at least.

thats more like it.
-
I believe the 46" measurement, a lean 46" chest is huge, especially if the measurement was non-expanded. I would shave an inch or two off the arm measurement.
Lee Priest, who is a bit shorter and a tad heavier had his arm taped at 21 1/4" by Joe Roark, so Dexter's should be similar or a bit smaller.

so your chest is 3.5 inches off ronnie coleman at 305 lbs at 5'10
(http://www.rogpics.com/ProBB_com/Steve_Namat/IMG_6400_sm.jpg) 54 inch chest?
:D

27.5 in waist on a 5'6" man that weighs 230 lbs. that's really funny
I have had 27 inch waist, and I can promise you No one over 220 has EVER had a 27 inch waist.
-

Brian Buchanan comes close but I don't believe he was 220.
-
Brian Buchanan comes close but I don't believe he was 220.
does super vacuuming it count though.
(yes the only person that I can believe is close)
the 46" sounds, a little while ago my chest was 44inch at 165 pounds.. and Im Far from Big. So the fact that dex's chest is only 2 inches bigger at 50 pounds heavier sounds random
-
Does it say that this measurement is dieted down as everyone keeps mentioning?
-
im 5"7 and have a SMALL chest and its 43.7 inches.. And I weigh 165..
So dexter is 60 pounds heavier then me with only 3 inch bigger chest?
No way.
bodyfat must be taken into account
-
so your chest is 3.5 inches off ronnie coleman at 305 lbs at 5'10

:D
Yeah, Ronnie's chest is already 3.5 inches bigger than mine on the video and he didn't even flex it... So why not?!
-
I'm 5'6'' and when I got married at 23 I had to get a 56" coat and have it tailored in for the waist
-
Yeah, Ronnie's chest is already 3.5 inches bigger than mine on the video and he didn't even flex it... So why not?!
Because he is much taller. 70lbs heavier, has a bigger back both width and thickness (biggest ever perhaps) and is Mr O. His chest also looks 2-3x thicker than yours.
Just my reasons man
-
ronnie looks small in that video though, nothing like the 2003/2004 version. That video looks like around 1998. Its weird, he just looks flatter and more stringy at the same weight approximately.
-
A lot of liars in this thread, which pro was saying Dex was closer to 207lbs on stage here as of late? Calling BS on the 22 inch arms
-
I have had 27 inch waist, and I can promise you No one over 220 has EVER had a 27 inch waist.
I guess you never heard of Brian Buchanan, Flex Wheeler, Melvin Anthony, and Jojo Ntiforo.
-
Manute Bol was 210-220 and probaly had a 27" waist lol
-
I find it more interesting that he claims a 600 lb bench.
