    Default Dex "Blade" Jackson peaked his potential?

    Freaky and good conditioned version of Dexter, but doesn't it look like his left side is lacking size?

    He's off-season here so it's hard to say. He's still one of the most reliable competitors to come in dead on in condition. He has gotten bigger for this year, but how big, & how it will affect his condition, remains to be seen.

    I want to say it's the angles in the pictures. It doesn't look off in the same way that Cutler and Dorian did, it just looks like one side is smaller. But the smaller side is symmetrical in terms of bi to tri ratio if that makes sense. At any rate, Dex is my favorite bodybuilder probably of all time. His front double bicep and most muscular is on par with anyone from any time.

    Am glad he won Mr. O at least once. He is one of the best conditioned pros in the history of the IFBB.

    He has been that way for a long time but still looks better than most bodybuilders.

    It's just another version of us older men saying " when in doubt, put on more size ".....

    His right bicep and delt look slightly bigger than the left and a little more detail in the right lats than left. Likely just a couple photos of him settling into his poses and not quite having all muscles firing yet or over inflammation from something injected for sight enhancement prior to the guest pose.

    Seems unlikely that the entire left side of his body would just not respond as good as the right.

    i think most bodybuilders ahve one side thats bigger than the other some are worse than others, and some lighting makes it more or less obvious as well . w regards to his new found size this late in the game, dexter is truly an anomaly

    Hope it's the pic, too.

    "In photography and cinematography, perspective distortion is a warping or transformation of an object and its surrounding area that differs significantly from what the object would look like with a normal focal length, due to the relative scale of nearby and distant features. Perspective distortion is determined by the relative distances at which the image is captured and viewed, and is due to the angle of view of the image (as captured) being either wider or narrower than the angle of view at which the image is viewed, hence the apparent relative distances differing from what is expected."

    lol No idea. That pic of Jackman doing deads did nothing to make his legs look impressive. Can't argue with his upper body, though!

    He's come a loooong way, right?

    Here he is at 188 lbs.



    Didn't he start out at, like, a buck-thirty-five or something?
