    Question Should Dexter retire?

    A thread on No Bull Forum is calling for Dexter to retire. Do you agree that he should, or not?

    I'm always a bigger fan of someone going out on top then going out because of an injury or poor placing. I think Dexter looked good minus the arm issue. If it is something that is never going to look 100% again than I say yes, retire. If not then I would say do the Olympia, if he is outside top 5 then I would say try to win an Arnold or another show and,retire with that win. But knowing Dexter he will probobly keep going.

    What's wrong with his arm? I'm out of the loop recently.

    Dexter can still make money in the sport, so why should he retire? He's a legend. But, yes, I see the advantage or appeal of going out on top.

    Dorian won Mr. O with a bad arm. Kevin has proven that you can hang with the top guys after you're fifty. Albert Beckles competed over the age of 50 in the late '80s & early '90s. So it's not unprecedented.

    Take a look at his photos, particularly of his hands clasped most muscular from Australia. Lots of speculation around what exactly happened but either way it did not compliment his phisique.

    He appears to have some gas left in his tank.

    In this video, Dexter describes his downtime for a month after his last show, his "bad" diet, & his vow to tear everyone else up at the next Olympia.
