Pretty remarkable change for a guy near 50.  I had him 3rd this year.  Thought he clearly beat Bonac.

Their entire world revolves around what other people think. So much that their jobs depend on it. It’s such a sad reality.

People even in their 50’s on here train for a look to gain validation from others. That’s what bodybuilding is.

I see what you did there

But if someone competes of course they’re going to look for some validation

I speak truth. Anyone who takes steroids isn’t doing it for themselves. I’m speaking from experience man. Lol

I disagree.  I took them and currently do trt for myself.  Sure, it's nice to get noticed and receive a compliment here and there but training and even trt/cycling has always been to make me feel better about me.  Started off in 10th grade super scrawny and very weak.

Your first point was to talk about liking the compliments you also talk about being “scrawny”. These are all related to other people’s perception of you. People take steroids for other people’s validation. Like I said I speak from experience.

What I’m about to say is nothing new...


People in bodybuilding circles often have very fragile egos.


When a fragile person’s happiness depends on the thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of other people... that person will end up in a mental crisis sooner or later.

He makes his living off his image. I understand why he wants to defend those that say his legs are declining.

No, in 10th grade I was very skinny and physically weak.  I did not like my appearance and wanted to be stronger for the sports I played.  It was for me.  The added bonus of people noticing and occasionally commenting/complimenting was a cherry on the sundae.  Your experience is not mine.  Thank you.

He doesn’t need to address anything, just go out there and compete and let your physique do the talking

By him addressing this and acknowledging the “haters” and even making a vid of it, obviously it got to him

Like I said they all have fragile egos

They didn't because Dorian and Ronnie are the two greatest bodybuilders of all time.  I'm thinking of starting a thread as to who is superior?  Dorian or Ronnie.

The term Haters needs to be put to rest,if your a professional  bodybuilder fans and media will critique  your physique. Nobody is attacking  you as a person.

On an old Bodybuilding Weekly podcast, Kev said that every time he placed 2nd, he felt he should have won. But if you look at his legs in 2000 compared to Ronnie's, I just don't see that at all, despite Ronnie's distended stomach.

Ronnie was superior to kevin and flex ever was in 98, 99 and 2000 wasn’t even close

By 2000 flex was declining big time, kidney issues followed, Kevin’s legs were all gone and he wasn’t mentally in it anymore, in terms of winning it, he still had good placings until 2003 injury, and was gone after that

I honestly think Dexter in 03 or 04 brought to stage perhaps the best physique to ever step on stage. Though certainly not the freakiest, this is such a beautiful, well proportioned, thickly muscled body. What the sport is all about.

The list goes on

and he only got third with that…

this year being about 50% that of 2003 he got 4th. Pretty telling the standards went way down

Dexters physique has always been odd to me, his mid section and torso is odd, no calves
