The guy is almost 50 and he now wants to come in heavier? Major mistake. The guy should be thinking about retiring and bringing his bodyweight down to 180 pounds and maybe live to see 55...Or at the very least bring his bodyweight down and compete at the 212 div...

I think that he is afraid to come off the drugs.... become small.. and lose his bodybuilding life

Flex was better.. Dexter Turtle stomach is so off-putting..

It is actually the most perfect midsection I have ever seen on a bodybuilder

And im one of the biggest schmoes here believe me

To me Dex actually looked better than Flex overall too, maybe very early Flex is better...you know without all that seo

Ya didn't he compete as a lightweight(like 154 pounds) when he was an adult? So he'd probably be around 160 pounds or lighter if he quit everything...

Why would a FORMER MR. OLYMPIA who is still top 5 material go to the 212 class?

There are very few that CAN handle the downsize. Look at Cormier wearing a varsity jacket in the summer. He was such a confident guy and now that the body no longer looks in proportion to his agromegalion head, he feels insecure and needs to make his body appear bigger somehow. I suffer from the same insecurities when completely off. Uggh, who can tolerate the inevitable, "You look like you lot some size bro" or "What happened" comments from randoms?

Dex's weight has gone up quite a bit since his O win, I think he could contend with Heath easily if he could present "Blade" quality condition at 240-245..'..and bring some separation in the quads finally.

The human body can only tolerate continuous drug abuse for so long. His liver and/or kidneys must be close to failure by now. He should've retired years ago.

I like his physique, but Dexter will never be Mr O. again, and I doubt he'll live to see his 60th b-day.

Bags of oil in his arms... rear delts (and maybe some other parts as well) make him a better bodybuilder? Flex '93 was great, but later... meh

Flex was only good early on, his later showings were very overrated

In some ways Cormier is better and flex is a little overrated. Then again when he was on like I said early showings , he was unbeatable imo and the best but....

Dex to me is the best right now as the only competitive 90's bber among a bunch of heavily insulined GH physiques

He started as a bantam at 130's

And a drug-free Dexter would be way smaller than Cormier is currently.

Flex was better IMO.
on a site note, if kai gets into condition like flex is below then he has the title.

Dex's ability to juice for so long and still respond and be top 6 in the world is indeed amazing

but father time catches up with everyone

Dex can easily be top 5 this years 0

Does Cormier actually have HIV? or just a rumor?

Dexter looks bigger than his usual.

Needs to drop the Affliction T-Shirts though, it's a 2008 look.

[/b]

In all honesty, I think Affliction t-shirt is the best option for a bodybuilder 35 years and over.,,

unless you have any suggestions?

WoooSSSHHHHHHH BE YE KE

Because at almost 50 years old adding weight to his body is basically suicide. It's not like he' going to put on weight and win the thing. So dropping weight would be good for his overall health. Plus whats wrong with trying to win the thing in a different class? Has anyone ever won both titles before? That would be more impressive than placing 5th thru 8th...

Dexter will be top 3 this year

Winning the 212 is hardly on par with placing top 5 at the actual Olympia. The one guy who tried (David Henry, when it was the 202 class) barely made the top 15.

As for Dex winning the Olympia again, the circumstances would have to be similar to 2008: He's on; the champ is off; and another guy is out, perhaps due to injury.
