Title: Flex Pro - Evan Centopani vs. Dexter Jackson
Post by: Ron on February 20, 2011, 05:02:39 PM
Well, while many of us thought that Evan did win based on his back, a lot of people out there did not see it that way.  Based on the many pictures they have seen, Dexter should of won the contest.  While that is apparent from the front, if you compare the backs, you will see otherwise.  Still, I have had many discussions today regarding that.

I will give Dexter credit for using 'Getbig' as his theme song!  Nice move Dexter!!!!

I'd put Dexter ahead from the front because Evan's pathetic excuse for abs throw off everything he has going. From the back Dexter was too soft to win though.

Sorry Ron but you're dead wrong.  Dexter wasn't as sharp as he usually is and if he's not at 100%, a larger competitor will easy beat him with conditioning that matches his although Evan was a tad drier.  

Obviously Dexter is focused on the Arnold Classic because that's where the big bucks are and he didn't mind picking up an extra 7 grand just for posing onstage.

i'd say it's damn near a tie.

And when you have a tie, it'll usually go to the 'champ'.

But if the champ hasn't done this show in years... and he comes in at 90%... and the challenger is the marketing future of the sport, undefeated bringing a lifetime best...

You give Evan the win, even though Dex might have been the better BBer onstage.

Centopani has a great...
back double bicep

a good...
most muscular
side chest

an average...
side tricep
rear lat spread

a subpar...
front double bi
abs and thigh
front lat spread (could be average)

IMO

Evan has huge and great arms, but the bi's really don't seem big in the front double bi shot. what up with that?

I believe Levrone did have a similar situation where his arms looked great in the MM pose and not so good in the FDB pose...

I believe Dexter looked his best at the Mr. Olympia 2003 where he looked shredded with enough size, his 2010 Mr. O Version was his 2nd best.

Dexter should not sacrifice his trade mark conditioning for a few pounds that are mainly on his glutes and hams!

He should bring his old condition back to the ASC to battle with Branch Warren 1st and 2nd.
Evan is good, but not great!

Levrone’s bi shot looks pretty amazing..  Centopani's bi shot looks fucking horrible.

Waiting to peak for another show has to be the worst idea ever. Even just psychologically, how do you think Evan is feeling now vs Dexter?

Post by: tbombz on February 20, 2011, 10:17:51 PM
i love evan but dexter just has a better physique plain and simple, at least right now. evan needs to work on lat width especially from the front. also need better arms in the fron double bi, and a little more thickness in his quads and hams. of course, his chest is lacking a bit too. but thats a combo of overpowering delts and a bit of underdevelopment in the pecs.

a top 10 bodybuilder in the planet, no doubt about that. bu theres about 5 guys who are clearly better at the moment. jay, phil, victor, dexter, kai, maybe branch, maybe wolf

Well, I think Dexter has much better flow, symmetry and porportions than Evan, but Evan has him clearly on size and was just as hard and dry as well. I think it was judged right, but I wouldnt be surprised if Dex was the winner, because he looked damn good!

Dexter was very soft from the rear end of story.

Perhaps a bit of an overstatement.  How about softer than usual.  He still should have had straight firsts in the symetry round.

Evan needs more quad thickness, eh? And to think you prance around here like some authority lecturing us on all things bodybuilding.

theres a video of the two in comparisons...

Dexter clearly smashed Evan.

the judges have no idea how to judge for flow and aesthetics...so they base it purely and simply on size and condition.

so when they have that as the criteria then evan's size and conditioning beat dex more times than dex beats Evan..Dex wins from front, evan from back.

IF they ever added some weight to the final part of the puzzle- how it all looks, then dex wouldve won it .

but theres a reason why BB is in the dark ages..its run by morons- for morons. So itll never change for the right reasons.

In case youve been under a rock, bodybuilding has ALWAYS been about size and conditioning first. Youve sure been bitching about this a lot recently when its always primarily been about size and conditioning.  ::)

Exactly and if you think about it, its a smart business move on Dexter's part to compete.  He has to be there anyway to rep Muscletech (Six Star..whatever).  Why not collect 7k for about an 1 hour of standing onstage.  Not only that, he's getting a great warmup for the Arnold.


Bodybuilders need to start doing these smaller shows, especially those that are not on that top tier, its a great way to get noticed by the judges and the more they see you, the better

primarily inner quads, wolf and pukalski both had better sweep too. evan has massive delts and you need big quads or else youll look top heavy with delts like that. if you watch evans videos on md leading up to the show he says he needs to work on three areas=  chest back and legs.

No one seems to be given him his due on guns, his Tri's specifically are up there with Coleman, until you see him in person you can't properly respond.

ive seen his videos on md and his ris are indeed massive as fuck. id say some of the best triceps in the sport, maybe second to phil.
