DEXTER JACKSON ABOUT HIS PREPARATION FOR THE 2009 OLYMPIA

[demostenes]

Is there anything different that you are going to try and do for the 2009 Mr Olympia. You are known as the most consistant pro conditioning wise and have well rounded physique. Will you keep it "the same" so to speak or are you and your trainer Joe McNeal going to make some changes?

Dexter

I'm not going to do anything different this year. I just wanna add about five pounds of muscle with my same condition and we'll see what happens. I will tell you this though. Joe and I have parted ways so I will be doing my own prep this year.

Well guys... I know is too early for predictions... but it's interesting, he is planning to be 240 pounds onstage... It's enough to win the O?.... just to remember Joe Macneal isn't more his coach...this time Victor Martinez and Kai Greene will compete... and Jay, Phil and Wolf will be back after one year of preparation

 

[The Creator]

He had his deserved O but I dont see him getting another one!

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Jesus his bdb is the best out of the bunch IMO

If he can add some good quality mass and come at his all time best conditioning i dont c why not....but it will be close to impossible to repeat...too many contenders..

 

[MarkoB]

No chance... He will be dethroned. He'll finish in 3rd- 4th

 

[Light weight]

Phil is the next Mr. O!!!

 

[DriDDeRz]

Hard to say really from this far out from 2009 Olympia,
but i would say Dexter is going to have to hard to defend his title with the Upcoming improvements from the following bodybuilders that will be right on his tail to steal it away.

Cutler
Heath
Victor
Wolf
Kai

 

[Bone Yard]

wats with kai's shoulders?

 

[mvsf1]

Jay or Phil, 2009 Mr Olympia.

 

[Lionheart]

I dont see him winning again,unless some of the top contender blew up their prep.

Jesus his bdb is the best out of the bunch IMO

I was about to say weakest

 

[Daniel Andersson]

It will be really hard for dex to get another one.

Cutler will be back better hopefully and Dex dont beat Cutler when he is on.
Victor will be back probably better then both
Phil will be back fighting it out with Victor
Wolf will be back fighting it out with Cutler.

With realistic improvments I think it can look like this.

1.Victor/Heath
2.Heath/Victor
3.Cutler
4.Dexter/Wolf
5.Wolf/Dexter

 

[Samoan-Z]

Jay or Phil, 2009 Mr Olympia.

that's what im feeling.

 

[The_KM]

Heath will be Dexter's successor, guaranteed. Kai will never become Mr. Olympia, and Victor will have to be significantly amped in order to surpass the flame Heath's got going, Looking forward to this year's events!

jay winning again is wishful thinking. the judges selecting dexter was a step in the right direction and they have been receiving loads of praise from both critics and magazines for their selection. they're not about to take 3 huge steps backwards and give it to jay. even if he is "on" (which he's proven to us the last two years he won't be) he still has glaring symmetry issues and the most unappealing physique of pretty much every entrant in the Olympia.

guys like phil, wolf, and victor are part of the new breed of awesome size and pleasing aesthetics. jay can't hang anymore.

 

[theweapon]

its going to be an interesting olympia. alot of competition! cant wait to see what everyone is going to bring!

Duality, man, get real. His "glaring symmetry issues" were there back in 2006, when he won. His "unappealing phisique" was there since 2001 when he unoficially beat the best bodybuilder ever.

All Mecca know you hate his phisique, yeah, but man, you are then twosend times more biased than am I.

Dex won because he looked awesome, Jay was off and his arms were too small.

I'll ask you a question, do you really believe Dexter would have beat him if Jay showed his 2006 phisique? I do not.

 

[SID2008]

There is so many good top notch pro's for 2009, its gonna be a toss up to me on who had the necessary improvements. Dexter will be different and better than last year O but, who knows really.

 

[Daniel Andersson]

I'll ask you a question, do you really believe Dexter would have beat him if Jay showed his 2006 phisique? I do not.

I think the top 3 could have been...

1. Cutler
2. Phil
3. Dex

...If Jay was like 06 or better....Cause Phil was better then Dex this year imo, not by much though

if he looked like he did in 2001 i would not be harping on the man one bit. he looked incredible there and his physique was far from unappealing. he has been on a steady downward trend ever since. this is highlighted by his terrible thigh symmetry and his very apparent bicep asymmetry in the FDB shot that has been getting more visible every year. that and he is getting more blocky in the waist area too. you can't say i'm making this up.

and no, his thighs were not as bad in 2006 and his conditioning and color were very good as well. that coupled with ronnies very bad symmetry in his lats and triceps gave jay the win.

if you read any of the bbing magazines you'll see the fan approval and critic approval is quite high. this is reflected in the fact that the judges are finally requiring aesthitics be intertwined with size. something that wolf, victor, kai, and phil do quite well. jay, unless he can revive his 2001 self, cannot hang. the only way a guy with a lot of mass and poor aesthitics can do well is if he comes in with awesome conditioning and detail (see: branch warren) if there not brining conditioning to the table then they have no chance.

I agree. Heath seems the likely successor. Dex is likely to be a stepping stone to a reward for more aesthetics and a move away from mass and distended guts. Although funnier things have happened.

Also agree that Kai will never win an Olympia, regardless of how good his physique is. Vic might be a contender, but he has to surpass Heath, not be his equal.

 

[patdiddy]

I think Jay still has a shot to be competitive if he comes in like he did in 05 or 06 but what will likely happen will be a showdown between Phil and Victor.... I dont think Dex can beat Vic at 100% and Phil will most likely come to the O a bit bigger with the same great conditioning. Dex lets the Sandow go in 09...... Just my 2cents.
