The Most Disingenuous 3RD place winner....

[lax]

Don't know what the name of my company has anything to do with it but Dexter's choices in advisors paid off for him big time so why would he abandon his team after they helped him win the Mr Olympia.


Dexter is a veteran, he's a Mr Olympia and 3 time Arnold Classic Champion along with being the GNC SOS champion.  I think he knows what he's doing....

one can always improve
even the best of the best know this
maybe this is why he failed to repeat?

[delta9mda]

dex was better this year than last. zane would do nothing for him. what could he do really?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

People were all raving about Jay's Most Muscular but Dex's isn't too shabby.  He looked better than last year and the argument can be made that he should have won the event but oh well.   

[Mr Nobody]

Labrada never won the Mr Olympia.  Dexter won the Mr Olympia and was working with the person who helped get him there in the first place.  If Samir said that, then he's the one that's the fool.

Vince do you sale the Zane leg blaster?

[lax]

Vince do you sale the Zane leg blaster?

I don't think Zane would license it to him to sell

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Vince do you sale the Zane leg blaster?

I sell the Body-Solid Leverage Squat Calf Machine for 599.00 with free shipping which is 300 dollars less than a Zane Leg Blaster and that's not counting his shipping fees.  The Leg Blaster is very compact but you can't do any serious leg training on it

I'm a big fan of Zane and I understand why he created the machine but the Bodysolid option is better for customers and clients of personal trainers and many need to have a machine that can pack on the weight plates

zane's is designed so you don't blow out your back

many of you have not been training long enough to incur serious, chronic injury....you will see.

Most personal trainers need an all around unit for training a variety of athletes AND clients.  This machine has a number of safety features to prevent serious or chronic injury.  Again, I understand why Zane created the device but the number of clients that would benefit from it would be very far and few. 

[nycbull]

Zane has been, for the most part, "off the grid" for a while.

If he worked with Dexter, it would bring up his stock considerably.  he'd be able to claim part of dex's finish was his work.

it's not like football, where Dan Marino could show Chad Henne tips on responding better to defenses.  We're talking 30 years later.  It's all a chemical game now.

agreed, the only benefit would be for a public relations stunt for the both of them. In that regards it could have worked good for Dexter, aligning himself with a famous name for symetry and aesthetics. This would only re-inforce his legacy. He should have done it. WOuld also have made him more mainstream to old school and traditional fans.

LMFAO, dude you are ripping them off. I got the exact same machine by powertec for $125 plus 4 45 lb plates and 4 35lb plates.

Agreed.
I don't see how Zane saying he trained the #3 Bber in the world would be a bad thing for him, even if his clients don't read FLEX (although BBing fans span the rich as well)

[hazbin]

what expertise? dex's condition is miles ahead of the swimmer's. dex may not get 3 as zane but really, who was zanes competition? dex has fifty pounds at least on zane and condition that the "scientist" could only dream of.

so did Robbi Robinson, yet he somehow lost.

[funk51]

zane is 67 and still not in heaven. former mr o school teacher and renaisance man no he  got nothing important to impart to today's generation.

[lax]

yes
and more than once

[Topskin69]

yes
and more than once

Mike, did you ever get a chance to hit on Mr. Zane?

Thanks in advance!

M!

[LATS]

zane could not have helped dexter in any way.. that is silly for samir to say.. it just shows how out of touch some the ironagers are..

[Mr Nobody]

LMFAO, dude you are ripping them off. I got the exact same machine by powertec for $125 plus 4 45 lb plates and 4 35lb plates.

You have to watch Vince he is a true salesman

[Immortal_Technique]

It's tricky because Zane would probably help Dexter, as long as Dex adjusted his goals to be getting even smaller.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Must have been used equipment because Powertec sells their's for almost a 1000 dollars.  They have a 499 one but its not really for commerical use

[lax]

suffice it to say that

Zane, Arnold, Franco, Ferrigno, Draper et al

look miles better than all of your 'jacked' heroes of today

[Signifying Monkey]

M!

[HTexan]

why the hell would Frank Zane offer to help Dexter Jackson out anyway?

 

Business. He wants to promote the "The Zane Experience" by being a Mr.O trainer.

not really
pros are not his market
just wanted to as he sees them at the Arnold every year

he thought the same thing of Gunter
he could have helped him win the mr. O

when he's making a sell, it cannot hurt his cause to be able to pull "you know, I just trained one of the top 3 bodybuilders IN THE WORLD"

If he's selling to an old lady, he doesn't have to bring up Dex.  But if a client is looking to muscle up, and he's just not sure, Zane would be able to mention "I was just talking to Dex about this over the lunch I designed for him a week out from the O..."

no 240 he just wants to give back to the sport which gave him so much
