If anyone is overrated it is DEX!!!, he is quite possibly the most overrated BBer of this generation. He has been talked about as being the ideal for aesthetics and possible Mr. O if it wasn't for mass monsters, well f**k that he has high lats, small chest, no quad detail, zero calves, and a gut that is slowly on it's way to becoming grotesque. How he beat Cormier for the ASC in 2005 is still unexplainable and his high placings in the O are outright ridicules as he seems to beat most with purely conditioning and IMO his conditioning has not been all that spectacular lately.
wow honestly couldnt disagree with you more... i dont think dex is under rated... but he's def not over rated...
1st, this small chest nonsense is retarded... almost anyone will tell you that dexters side chest/ side tri and crab mm are some of the best out there... and those are the three poses where a guys chest plays a large rolde in the criteria
he doesnt have a huge hanging chest, but he isnt a tall guy... shawn has said that dexters side chest is better then ronnies!! ... he has wide clavicles which makes his chest wide in addition to have the most detailed and conditioned chest ever
2nd, in 2005 cormier looked great but not good enough to be dexter, u mention the conditioning factor, but "chris was inshape for chris"... thats it... he couldnt touch dex in conditioning... when they stood next to one another the dif was obvious... plus although chris has a huge chest it isnt that detailed, and he has vertualy no inner arm seperation to go along with his smallish arms... = soft
3rd... although i agree that at this years O and arnold dexters conditioning "wasnt great for dexter" it was still y far the best on stage save for maybe dave henry
dexter does have high lats, and calves... smaller quads... but ask 99.9% of bodybuilding fans who'd theyde look like out of all the pros out there today and theyd say dex... ude be maybe the .00000000000000000000000
000001% that would say chris
