1999 Olympia, he was a force right away as a pro.

That gap in Ronnie's abs should have been marked down. It looks hideous.

Still looks great and can hang with the bloated bellies and Team Camel Fuckers.

Serious site injections in his arms in the first picture.

Looks great

One of my favorites. Saw him turn pro in Detroit at 187lbs. Looked great right away as a pro except for the fuckery with his calves. One thing I noticed
was just how much improved his lats are since those early days. Much, much more flare to them now.

Great physique -- He's had a long career - must be doing something right.

only criticisms - Lack of calves & oblique's to thick.

He looked disappointed placing third at this year's Olympia.

Great physique/aesthetics acknowledged, this is still bodybuilding. I have a hard time understanding why judges are placing him ahead of Big Ramy most times.

He doesn't seem to age though. Perhaps by age 50 he will start to.

At the moment, I imagine that Ronnie would actually much prefer to have Dexter's still fully-functioning spinal column...

Growth hormone is a wonderful drug.

Really though, I don't see how you can hate on dex. To stay as consistent as he has over the last 25+ years shouldn't be humanly possible. Has such a freaky round look. Always loved his arms.

I think it was an outtake from a BFTO where the Asian camera dude (who did all their DVDs and filming back then, forgot his name) was filming Dexter in between sets and he's resting on a bench and he says how it looks like Dexter has 5 heads (both biceps, both delts and then his actual head) because of how round and full his muscles were. Wish I could find that because it was hilarious and looked fucking pissening.
