For 46 years old, that's pretty damn outstanding condition and shape. He's wider than I remember him being in the past (in a good way).

Has he improved nostril size this year? Him and Phil were neck and neck last year in the front nostril spread.

Title: Re: Dexter looking pretty crazy!
Post by: Bevo on May 03, 2016, 01:28:43 AM
Very impressive

But still even with the genetics he has ones gotta wonder how will his health be in a few years, in his 50's, cause 46 is still not that old? I know someone is going to chime in and say "people die of heart attacks at 42 without taking steroids" or "I know a friend who smoked a pack a cigarette a day for 50 years and lived until 92" but that's not the point I'm trying to make

For some even if it means dying, it was all worth it to them

Back in the hay day Dex sorta blended in with the rest.  Was to many great bodybuilders to decide who where my favs but now that most of the good old boys have retired Dexter is def one of my favs now. they just dont make um like they used to.

Ronnie holds the record for Most #1 placement and I think Dex is 2 away. You have to give him credit. Had a very bad 2011 maybe 2012, bounced back and is kicking ass once again....
Title: Re: Dexter looking pretty crazy!
Post by: WannaBePro on May 03, 2016, 08:17:02 AM
Lol I like how every year everyone would say Dex is done and Dex is getting old. And every year he comes back better than ever. He placed 2nd at last year's Mr. O FFS! Beat out guys like Rhoden, Wolf, Ramy, Branch  ::)

I'd love to see him come in and dominate the O again, but I doubt that's gonna happen... Still, he could easily place top 3 this year, if not top 2 again if Rhoden comes in off again and Kai doesn't jump in (which is the likely scenario).

On the one hand I'd love to see new blood up there in the top 5 (Compton, McCarver, Lenartowicz, Mongomery in 2 or 3 years, etc...), but on the other hand its good to see a guy who keeps getting written off every year come in and prove everyone wrong.

people live in the gym doing cardio.  Dex pops an extra dose of ECA and gets to 4% bodyfat.

This is from 2000 and he's training hard and heavy.  If you watch his videos through the years he's consistent and trains smart.

He looks better there than he does now obviously but looks like he's paid his dues and been in the game for so long, they are now consistently awarding him. Same with wolf he looked his best in 2007

I was surprised at the end at how big he was when he posed. Thought It may be the camera angle but he's huge.

Maybe this further exemplifies how far down hill bodybuilding has gone.

The videos with that start logo on the bottom left have screwed up aspect ratios.

The video is stretched horizontally making the bodybuilders look much thicker than they really are.
