Interesting thought, and it wouldn't add much time to the Olympia at all. I don't see the open class Olympia being all that exciting for the next couple of years, so they should be looking try new things.

Was there a year where Flex would have beaten Phil?

I like the idea...but my concern would be that the heavyweight champion would end up winning anyway.

When has a guy close to 212-lb won, since 1992? Dexter used to claim he weighed 235-lb...but he would always skip the weigh-ins at the Ironman Pro. So Dexter was likely under 225-lb, IMO. He could have been under 215-lb. Does anyone have a guess on Dexter's competitive weight?

Regarding the overall, as I said, it would result in the heavyweight winner likely winning every time. That would simply make the heavyweight winner the overall winner, and make the 212-lb class fall short by comparison. Both of these things already being assumed to be the case.

Does he seriously look the part of 260’s off season?? He just looks too small (compared to his peers)

It could be happening if there is a profit in it.

If I was the boss, and I ain't, I'd cancel out that Sudnay seminar and use that show-room for a contest between the Oly winer, the 212 winner, the physique winner and the classic winner and let a gtroup of fitness chicks make the ultimate decision.

And all the ticket sales for that Sunday afternoon show would go to the one and only one ..... the overall winner.

It could be called, "The Pick of rhe Litter". Or something like that.

But maybe Coach has the better idea.

Back in the day you had the Olympia winner and the Under 200 pound Olympia winner,then they both posedown for the overall title.

I`m sure you guys knew that but it worked out well at the time.

The top was last October

This one was after we trained the week after he won the Tampa Pro

He also did an either IG story or post weighing himself in the off-season because people doubted him.

If you see him in the off-season it's easily believable

Looks like Dexter is chaperoning a group of handicapped senior citizens.
