Cheers for posting. I'm so excited to see what Dex is going to look like.

I reckon he should grow that silver beard out.

[jcrobles92]

As much as I think Ced is the next big thing and he will most likely dethrone Heath (which I'll be damn happy about) i don't see Ced beating Dexter now at this point. Dex is just hitting a very impressive stride and i believe his conditioning will be one of the best we've seen much like at the masters.

thanks for posting opee!

[featureless]

Dex has become such an inspiration!

I'm tired of Charles Glass.. He's always hyping his athletes no matter what condition they're in. I would want my coach to be honest. Never seen a video with Charles that brought something new to the BB table. Just not very exciting workouts. On another note, you cant really not be impressed with good ole' Dex. He's been a pro for 20(!!!) years and is always getting better. Most bodybuilders seem to have a life span around 5-10 years before something drastic happens to their physique or they just fall out of the radar. Might have something to do with Dexter keeping a slow and steady pace and not trying to add huge amount of LBM every year. My money is on The Blade this AC

thanks for the update tkd! i'm really exited to see dexter at the ac!

edit: i will never get why he or anyone else does the suicide grip. i mean all it takes is one slip and that's it. i'v tried it before and it does feel better for some reason but to me it isn't worth risking a potentially serious injury .

I do it too.. Honestly I could not even imagine how someone could possibly drop the bar. I have never experienced even being close to doing it.. It's all in the dorsiflexion.

i saw it happen once in person when i first started going to the gym and i saw another indecent online about a month ago where a guy in europe died at a power lifting meet or something of the sort because of it.

Powerlifting is different though. Vast amounts of weight being moved relative to bodyweight. I dont see much difference between the grips really. If the bar slips its because of bad positioning or grip. I always chalk up on heavy sets of presses anyway, but even without the chalk ive never felt any danger of slipping.

[RayGonzalez]

Dexter looks HAPPY. I don't remember seeing him looking that upbeat. Looks like he's in a good place.

well you'll only slip once, so it doesn't matter whether you haven't felt like it yet. not saying it has to happen, but dont understand why people would risk it. what's wrong with wrapping the thumb around?

Great vid, OP!


Glad to hear Dex so happy and enjoying things.

he's been pro for 14-15 years

I've recently started doing the guillotine press and that's pretty scary. If I dropped the bar it would be straight onto my neck. It's a great workout though. Wish I found it earlier.

[ch3v3ll3]

Dex looks like he's really pushing it in the gym this time around.

[Ciper]

That looks really cool

This!

If I remember correctly, Charles Glass said the same things in some MD video about Dex for the Arnold 2012. That, Dex is at his best, even better than the Masters etc etc, and at the Arnold he was far from his best and took 5th. Just like now, it was right after Dex's win at the Masters O in Dec 2011, where btw, he looked maybe as good as his this past Masters O edition.

Here's the link on the MD gallery from Masters O 2011,

(same thing with the * in http..)

I'd post some comparisons If I could.

Agreed again.

this, people seem to react to suicide grip like dracula to sunlight... i don't see that much of a problem with it except for some 0.000000000000001% accidents

[lee4]

i don't think anyone disagrees that this is dex's competition to lose.



he's a legend in his own right, former O winner, and some of THE best lines ever to grace a stage.




at this point dex will individually look better than ced, but could lose on overall comparative size if ced brings his best.




IOW, dex is the safe bet...ced is the potential bet.
lastly, let me just say should dex lose to ced, i wouldn't see it as a black eye on dex's resume, but rather a milestone in achievement by ced. conversely, should ced lose to dex, neither looks bad and the status quo is maintained. the only way someone is walking away worse off is if any of the top guys BLOW their prep and show up sloppy (always a chance).


ON THAT NOTE: i can't wait for the AC this year!!!!!! i LOVE this lineup.

[Jaixs]

he's been pro for 14-15 years

Ye, my bad He's been an awesome bodybuilder for 20 years at least

[Ajthemeso]

me. i like dex and cedric but i just want dexter to leave something like a tying or beating flex's record before he retires. i want him going out as a winner; winning the rest of his shows and going out on a good note. i know that's probably wishful thinking but i can't help it.

[Lvisaa2]

He's only been an awesome bodybuilder 19.456 years, actually.

[flangmasterj]

I have a feeling Dex is gonna blow some minds.

[Reznor91]

I think Dex will just edge out Ced in conditioning and take the win. Apparently the only thing Charles knows how to say is "Cmon, cmon, cmon now"

[aussieryan]

People complaining about Charles Glass hyping his athletes up, huh? I agree with what you guys are saying, I'd want my coach to be honest about what I look like yeah, but I'd only want him to be completely honest behind closed doors with me and me alone. I wouldn't want him to come out on an online video or whilst others are around and be like, oh yeah, he's behind a few weeks on conditioning, don't know if he's going to dial it in, he's got out of proportion arms etc.

[FAN0FdaSport]

yup

This... I'd love for Ced to win, there's a chance he CAN win the Arnold, but in reality the safe bet is on Dex
