He has to be one of the most sensible and effective trainers for modern pros.

I've met Dexter twice, he comes across as subdued with fans...that being said I was totally wrong when I said he should retire two years ago. He's obviously figured something out and his body doesn't show signs of wear or decline (ala Branch yes be objective fanboyz). I now hope he keeps going as long as he's competitive, the pro stage will be lessened when he retires someday. I dare say that ain't nobody else, EVER going to bring the same level of conditioning for nearly 15 years plus.

Great article Ron....and now I am slightly inspired and will take this 51 year old body to the gym to hit shoulders, thanks!

**modredtrenton** · April 25th, 2016, 03:21 PM

so dex never trained much and never did cardio , relying a lot on his good genetics. good for him... but not inspiring.

Well, he is "The Blade"...a vampire, never age.

Brilliant interview. Thanks Ron. Dexter is a living legend and super cool cat!

**Squat Junkie** · April 26th, 2016, 03:04 AM

Being 48 yrs old myself, I enjoyed reading the interview. Very inspiring!

His training system has been conservative and consistent. You don't get videos of Dexter throwing the weights around or compromising his body for extremely heavy poundage. Most Mr Olympians fell to injury such as Ronnie, Dorian and Jay. Dexter has been the one guy who has kept his body healthy throughout the years.

Dexter is awesome !
I like that he is humble enough to admit that his winning the Mr O was just because Jay was not at his best .
He might be right about that but it's still a huge accomplishment to get a Mr O title .....and IMO he should have won another one last year .

Yeah, I thought he was more conceited.

IMO he should have won another one last year .

Agree!

One of your very best pieces, Ron!

You asked the right questions to get the straight dope on Dex.

Kudos!

While watching the live stream, I felt the same.
In the end I realized I would have been happy either way.
