It's called a workout...no ne said it was supposed to be amazing.  He's been training longer than you've probably been alive... doesn't need to set the world on fire at this point. his emphasis should be preservation at this point in his career....



Im mainly talking about dexters attitude on quite a few vids ive watched....
no intensity
i just find it annoying to load up the legpress and get all hyped....
just do your set ...  like any other set

but yes i guess dex is in the twilight of his career....
choice is an illusion

I'm sure...

Dexter isn't training for strength...perhaps you could pass it  along to the boy wonder

I see the point in a seasoned competitor training for preservation, but Dex has to do something different if his short time left as a pro is spent well.  His recent slide in placings suggest he's on the way out.

Even though if it were up to me he would have beaten many of the guys placed ahead of him, he's one of the few BBers left with real muscle

dexters issue isn't related to anything in the gym...what  he was , and has, been doing for the last 20plus years was apparently enough to win him the title of best in the world.  If you  haven't done it in the gym by the time you turn pro, its probably not going to happen...

that said...The only problem Dex is facing...is father time.  his attention at thisnpoint needs to be focused on dialing in the last 48 hours..as the body ages, changes, etc...so does the methodology of what works, and what doesn't...All in all, Dexter will go down in history as one of the most consistant pros Throughout his career.

As a layman, I would think it's every oiled up dude that gets on a stage to flex his muscles for a plastic trophy.

Just one mulatto man's opinion of course.

all kidding aside...in what way are you asking?  Andy is eccentric, without doubt, but hes a good family man and seems to enjoy doing what he's doing...not sure he has any obligation to represent anyone other than himself...his company seems to support him.

was that leg press supposed to be amazing.....  :-\
these guys are all drugs....
that is what id do to get my knees ready for squats
dex is weak as hell

Yet his response to drugs are far superior than yours, dont act like you train legs you have yet to show one pic of you're amazingly strong muscular legs, keep working that upper body pow.

Never used drugs never will
 Because I'm not a bber or aspire to be one
And secondly my genetics are good and give the results I need for the goals I have which is to be strong and muscular and that's it
However you welcome to sit at your computer and speculate and make accusations
You aren't the first and you won't be the last.
I'll just take it as a compliment.

agreed 100%

I don't care what dex does in a gym ...obviously works .. only guys who are frustrated with their developement get hung up on weights
