Dexter definitely went backwards the past year. The 10 years before that, he was making progress every contest: always shredded, gaining tiny amounts of size, density, and fullness as the years went by.
Has he reached an age where his body is going to inevitably decline, no matter the effort, drugs, or food he puts in?
Beyond that option, heres the possibilities:
1. Reduction in amount of training-stimulated muscle growth.
A)because of less volume
B)because of less weight
C)because of lower frequency
2. Increased calorie output during offseason
A)increased cardio
B)increased non-fitness related energy output... chores around the house, going places for work or family.
C)increased volume or frequency of weight training
3. Increased calorie output during diet.
A)increase in training volume
B)increase in training frequency
C)increase in stimulants, thyroid, and/or any metabolism boosting agent
4. Decreased calorie intake during offseason.
A)Decrease in appetite
B)Decrease in food supply
C)Intentional calorie restriction
5. Decreased calorie intake during diet.
A)Decrease in apettite
B)Decrease in food supply
C) Intentional calorie restriction.
In my opinion the most likely of these being:
1.A and B and C
2.B
3.A and B and C
4.A and C
5.A and C
Peronsally, I think its probably a combination of age(the most obvious choice), reduced effort in training(his muscle seem to have lost a bit of their powerful look to them, especially his shoulders, quads, and his lats from the front.), and probably either an intentional calorie restriction, or a reduced appetite(dexter is known to be a force feeder)

Not reading that...age is the answer.

Chris Cormier and a few other "experts" said he was fuller and bigger than at the Olympia
-
I think that you over analyzing this! It is called diminishing return on your invest due to age.
Father time is a cruel man..it doesn't matter what he does or how much he changes his routine. He will never look at good as when he peaked.
it is called getting old my friend..some day you will understand it
-
Not reading that...age is the answer.
I agree. I think this is just Occam's Razor. I would say that Dexter was at best third place. He's still in the money and I think he would do well to continue to compete but I think it's safe to say that both Phil and Kai will consistently beat him in future shows assuming all three show up in shape.

i didnt over analyze it, i simply analyzed it thoroughly. its important to note the distinction between the two. ;D

This.
-
You seriously put THAT much time to think about this shit? WTF???? Who the fuck does that? Bro, he was just off. You can't peak for every show. Get out the house
-
"Not reading that...age is the answer."
Agreed. time waits for no man. Dex is closing in on 40. he he been competing at the highest level for what, 11 years now? he's still top 5 in the world, no he's not doing that bad.
-
how hard is it to make a list with sub categories ?? took a minute or two maximum. :)
i also think dexter has been training like a wimp lately, it just looks that way to me, especially in his front lat spread, and most muscular.
-
Dex is never off, but I think age is catching up to him a little. His quads have gone down in size, and that could be from age, injury, or playing it safe and not risking injury.
-
Beyond that option, heres the possibilities:
1. still an idiot
2. homo
3. lives with mom
4. never competed nor dieted
5. proven lazy drug user
6. still a noob bodybuilder at best.
7. not a magic negro
8. magic negro worshipper
tbombz everytime you open your mouth, it's either dick or idiocy.
stick to dick sucking
-
Less dope
Less interest in the "sport"
More intake of less bodybuilding related foods
Enjoying what he had and currently has
Less pain, more pleasure
Has more money than most people he knows
Can always say he was a Mr O... even if only once in his lifetime
-
finally a decent dexter thread
-
There is no sight of Palumboism in Dexter...Which leads me to believe he is doing the same ole' same ole'...If he is going to try to win these types of shows, he is going to have to step up his game to the point he trashes his body like everyone else in the 21st century...Its obvious that Phil Heath is going to put anything and everything into his body to win...Same with Kai...
-
Don't forget that Dex is going up against Kai next weekend at the Australian show so we will see a good old rematch

I got $5 that says kai blows off this show dude

It's money in the bank for him though even though I think Dex can and should beat him. I just know Kai's is in the powers that be good books and Dex is in the bad books
