Does Dexter age, or just his beard?

It seems that eventually a pro loses arm size and their calves.

I think he needs increase calories and fill out, do something about the lower stomach.

The contest is his to lose, like I keep saying, its his going away present.

Looks great.

And about 75 percent of what he once was.

Im a huge fan of dexter but that lower stomach needs to tighten up. That being said, while he is losing some aesthetics from the front, his back shots remain the most underrated poses in the IFBB. Just insanely well proportioned, well developed, well conditioned, aesthetic muscle and perfect frame on those back shots.

every year people proclaim it's the beginning of the end for him but he defies critics each year

I hope he retires this year or perhaps once he wins 30 shows

Pretty safe to say it would be a good move to retire if you could pull off a Mr. O win 10 years apart from another one. Legendary storyline.

If he doesn’t win this year, he can slim down into the 212 class and dominate that for another 10 years

His right lat looks torn where it inserts into the humerus?

He looks pretty good, but if everyone come in shape, that looks isn’t good enough to beat Curry, Bonac or Roelly.

what's funny is 15 years ago, whilst Dexter was a top 6 candidate we would never talk about him as a potential Mr Olympia

Obviously the calibre of competition has sank since

Nothing will help the Mr.O contest than having Dexter (former Mr.O)   winning the tittle at age 50 ....

they really need to make history that way after all the mess and lack of top names in it "




WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dexter turned pro in 1999, correct?  Holy crap.

To be able to do this stuff at that level for 20 years is crazy.

He looks great except for the abs which do look reptilian.

Close - he turned pro in 1998, and his first Mr. Olympia contest was 1999.

He qualified for every Olympia since, sitting out only once, in 2005, for reasons I'm not clear on.

Possibly messed up his prep

I wonder if it bugs him having a gap in his Olympia attendance

GOAT longevity though. Shawn Ray possibly could have done a similar stint as he hit the Olympia stage at an earlier age but I tho k he got fed up with ifbb politics
