Who told you this? He's told me first hand over and over he doesn't do any cardio, eats practically whatever he wants, and doesn't go balls to the wall in the gym. Only recently has he had to tighten up with age settling in. Even with father time looming, he still has it way easier than most top pros.
While he's never given a reason for the disparity, I believe it's due to his metabolism (remember, he started as a bantamweight!) and of course, all of the "extras." He's one freak of nature either way.
Well, for one, he made a comment on one of his training videos while preparing for the Arnold about how much he was suffering on his current carb restriction phase of his prep.
I think a lot of bbers understate how much they sacrifice to maintain their physique so they can appear to be so much more genetically superior to others. Groink use to make the same argument when he claimed natural. He was just that much better than everybody but if he decided to gas he would shock the world.
But, yes, Dex is obviously naturally gifted, as all top pros are, and things come easier to them than it does for the rest of us.
