Dexter has a good point. Exampl: Phil heath won the O 7 times and still can walk and he may even come back. So there is definitely a "smarter" way train. Gotta adjust as we age.
Don't compare a pregnant thief to a king 😂😂😂😂, watch 1999 British grand Prix and u will know where Phil stands, Ronnie defeats Phil in every muscle group
I love Dexter. He's a class act, he works his ass off, and his Facebook story is fun as hell to watch everyday. Most of it is just him singing along to old school hip-hop, but that's what I'm about!
Dexter saying what so many of us have been thinking. Ronnie’s done it all; he no longer needs nor should have to look as big and muscular as he did during his reign. But it’s like an addiction. He doesn’t no anything else except “peanut” weight. And like Dexter, it hurts me to see him do a “comeback” every other year where Ronnie’s back! He’s training big again. All of which is then followed by Ronnie’s having another surgery, and Ronnie may never walk again. This cycle has been repeated for the last 10 years seemingly.
DY and Coleman didn't train for longevity they trained to the max human potential and us fans are very grateful. But props to DeX for trying something different and still crushing it on stage with the new guys. He has the most pro wins ever and I doubt his record will ever be broken.
Dexter *The Blade* Jackson’s words,thoughts, and suggestions are the Gold Standard when it comes to all things Bodybuilding! The Blade IMO is in the top 10 all time greatest. The Blade trained for longevity as evidenced by his current physique!👍💪👏👏#trainhardtrainsmart #longevity
He never disrespected Ronnie he just said slow down and take it easy. That's basically what everyone has said. Jay Cutler has said something to that effect as well.
Dexter is an inspiration to all guys who are over 60 and my age, but he should be an inspiration to all those young egotistical punks who think they will knock the bodybuilding world on its ear by being the loudest and baddest. Here's a guy who was in the Olympia 20 times, and has won it! Theres a reason they call him "The Blade".
This dude is dry as hell. Worst interview. He has no personality, doenst seem to have knowledge on the sport either. Vlad time to work behind the scenes. Get someone with more energy doing interviews
Dexter may be a bit sour about repeatedly losing to Ronnie Coleman, but he also told the truth. A sustainable workout regiment that enables you to maintain a high quality of life is the smart way to train. On the other hand... Ronnie is a living legend. His name will command respect 100 years from now.
Sour? the opposite, Dexter always says that ROnnie is the goat, and that Ronnie was the most dominant mr olympia of all time and a freak of nature, I have seen dozens of interviews of Dexter... so be better informed before talking.. He even said Prime phil has absolutely no chance against Ronnie, who looked like he came out of a spaceship
Dexter has a point and it works for Dexter!...Ronnie was the greatest bodybuilder of all time and one of the strongest. Dexter will rack up the most top 5 finishes in history.
Dexter Jackson has a very valid point. 20 years and still kickin ass in the gym. Machine weights are good! I say this all the time. It’s the stigma of being perceived as ‘easy’ that makes people miss out on longevity and quality gains.
If he did do another 10 years 🤔 to break all of his records the guy would have to be like 10 to 12 years old in the gym today with crazy dedication. Safe to say it will never be another Dexter Jackson & if by chance all his recorders are beaten by one individual it won’t be in our lifetime. Like 👍🏽 delivered.
Mike Studmuffin knowing how Dexter is 😏 I don’t see him coming down to the 212 ever. Especially after the way he talked about that one dude who was doing the 212 😂😂😂 . But Ur right I don’t see it ending anytime soon for him.
@@MeanBeanComedy Dexter has blown the doors off Albert Beckles!!! Just look at his Professional Bodybuilding Career. Nobody has competed at the top as long as the "BLADE". The dude is 50 years old and still killing it!! Tom Brady has 6 more years to go in the NFL before he catches up with Dexter.
This interview shows the passion and nature of Dexter, a good and competitive man! Puts his heart and soul in anything he does including training others! Excellent insights! Reminds me of Lee Haney's greatness in their respective ways. His longevity is telling regarding taking care of himself, being smart and wise, reducing serious health risks with aging. Dexter Jackson would be great as The President's Chairman and Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Nutrition, the post that Arnold had under George H.W. Bush back in the 1990's.
I Love dexter sooooooo much. I Met him 3 times already and he is always friendly and humble. He talk to Fans like brothers and he deserve more than he got today. He ist every year in a Good shape with a shredded gut and everything.
@@BIGT-tg4gu hang up the gloves and take it easy. It doesn't mean you have to completely leave what you love. It just means you gotta make changes as you age.
satinderjit4 that’s right , when I say hang up the gloves I mean stop training like your going to the Olympia. Ronnie training is reckless considering his injuries. He needs to take it easy and just train for fitness .
Aum yareach no he ain’t lol have you seen his recent training footage don’t forget his spine is being held together with screws . He still does shrugs with 120lb dumbbells.
Where's Ronnie's family and friends? All the people that love him not pulling him to the side telling him to chill with the heavy shit, your destroying yourself? They just let home go like a crazy fool. I'm pretty sure they have but dam. Sucks to see him like that.
thanks brother... That was an amazing interview. I learned the whole lot about respecting your joints.. 20 Plus years too late!.. and now I'm preaching the same to the Young athletes, so they can avoid this from happening, to save yourself for tomorrow!
No he is not, Haney first time 8x mr.olympia undeafeated, never was dethroned, cutler dethroned him in 06, also coleman lost to gunther in a pro show, while on his 8 time run, Haney retired at 31years of age, coleman is not even in the same class as haney,
I never want dexter to retire. He has been my favorite bodybuilder since I got into it back in 2004. He is the last one from 90s era left. Maybe he can win 1 more olympia before he retires. There is a very good chance this year is his year so long as he trains his ass off and comes in 100%
The most dominant at his peak, but the greatest is and was Lee Haney who deserved every single of his 8 Sandows.. unlike Ronnie who got gifted nearly half of them..
@@ventanasdelalma7623 i like Lee he is one of the greatest for sure but Ronnie is the greatest no one has come close to his level of size shape and condition. Ronnie deserved all his titles 2002 for me was a close call
@@TheSmooveguy If you think 2002 was deserved you are just another delusional ronnie fan Boy, Ronnie deserved max 4th place in that contest.. which was more obvious when the IFBB awarded a small contest to Gunther and ROnnie was second... when Gunther was places only 5th at the olympia.. think about it.. it is more than obvious that 2002 mr olympia was due to politics.. and do was 2001.. although not as extremely obvious but still..

Thanks for posting - Dexter talking common sense. Don't lift heavy every workout, conserve the body for life. He loves Ronnie but hates seeing him in the state he is at present. Kuwait trips to Oxygen gym takes people off grid so they can focus for comps effectively. Away from family, work etc. Loved the content👍👍👌
I really hate when people are praising Ronnie Coleman's approach to bodybuilding saying that he's a legend because he pushed his body so hard. No, he didn't become who he was due to his bodybuilding approach but in spite of that. Ruining your training schedule due to having multiple back surgeries in a year will NOT help you be greatest. Going heavy on squat when your knee just popped will NOT help you be the greatest. Ronnie was the greatest due to him having the best genetics in history both when it comes to training and response to drugs. Ronnie is an addict that could never stop and his story is a cautionary tale indeed. Steroids make your muscles extremely strong but your tendons and ligaments remain pretty much the same. That's why it's so important to train smart and not heavy on steroids. But Ronnie didn't care as he kept loading a small car worth of weights onto his already broken legs and back. Just think for a second what it's like to live, watching your husband's/dad's body falling apart due to extreme drug abuse and tell me again that Ronnie is a legend. That's exactly what his family went through. But yeah, lightweight baby!!!
he is so right, i trained like dorian, ronnie and now i am disalbled though i can still walk but it's getting harder to even do that, i used to do good mornings with 500pds below pararell for ten reps, vertical squat with 1300pds ten reps and things of that nature, but now i'm disabled, i hate, so dexter your right.
oshaughnessy garage doors You must've come out of a cave, his lack of oratory skills are similar to that of someone out of the hood. "Know what im sayin?"
Ronnie and Dorian took they’re route , got injured da da da but they won a whole lot more titles and obviously are now paying the price... Dex played smart , longevity is on his side but don’t have the silver ware as Dorian and Ronnie But it’s the same in almost every sport , it comes with risks , consequences and injuries.... But as I said they won a lot more , isn’t that what competition is all about??? Winning ??? Regardless of who’s lasted the longest , it’s written on the wall with these athletes All love tho💯
Dexter is i believe in the top 5 bodybuilders in the world imo. He's came from calling him the blade to calling him the vampire. That's something amazing. He was always in great condition and this is something we don't see often in others
“All these guys, banging heavy weight”... he hit the key word there. Heavy weights are okay if you use good form, it’s when you start throwing the weights around that you get hurt.
That's one of those bodybuilding myths. That you can't get big using machines. Yet Dexter and Phil are huge and still going strong. It made me hate using the smith machine.
Dexter is such an inspiration and an incredibly humble guy as well. No man has ever had a body like that at age 50, beating guys 20 years younger. I hope he wins the Olympia this year and continues to compete for many years to come. The sport needs legends like him.
Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but ain't nobody want to lift some heavy ass weight. Ronnie gave his all and showed everyone what it takes to be 8x Mr O. And he still trains after his injuries because of his love for moving weight. GOAT
I switched to machines to high reps but I get tendinitis from it also!!So free weights n machines you still getin injuries!!Dex always got great videos,we want more Dex!!!
Im 34 and i feel and look 23 still but i had old heads tell me in the gym use more machines bc of there joint issue and tbey walk with pain soo i use more machines theb ever
I'm 34 also. This past 12 months I've had multiple injuries through free weight training. Had to switch to machines on/off. After watching this, may just use them all the time. But it's not as enjoyable to me.
@@paulwright22 just dont go to hard in the paint on free weigbts using machince i believe keeps the body healthier but i do free weight to keep my raw strentgh but far as builing muscle longevity machines and outdoor body weight workput are a must im 235lbs and can run a 4.5 40 still just bc i incorperate other means of fitness
People forget about Ronnie already had back injuries from football 🏈 even before his BB days, he still went super Saiyan in the gym having back problems. I agree he should have adjusted a bit, but he took it to the next lvl.
It is what it is. Bodybuilding and steroid use is an unhealthy addiction for some, an unhealthy career choice for others, or both. It is what it is. Just like a football player or a boxer knowingly sacrifices health for money. In the end we all get old, we all become disabled eventually and we all die. Ronnie truly loves the sport and if he wants to continue lifting, I say go for it. Live your life
With all do respect to Dexter, because I am a big fan, I believe he should have won more Mr. Olympias and he looks great but even though Ronnie and Dorian both lifted too heavy and probably wish they could still train and look as good as Dexter today they do have a lot of Mr. Olympia titles because of what they put themselves through. I guess it was just a trade off they made for greatness.
"hey dexter bro, i did not ask for your opinion or advice. i will continue lifting weights even if it kills me or the last thing i do." - ronnie coleman
Dex said it best. The guys from Kuwait are only about mass. They are not shredded. Brandon Curry looked damn good at the Arnold. He beat Bonac base on his shape. Bonac’s physique is complete and has no weaknesses and he was conditioned. Curry’s legs have improved but still not up par to the rest of his body. If Curry or Roelly don’t improve their conditioning and Dex and Bonac bring their usual conditioning, they are the top 2. Dex is the man to beat. Top 6 in no order are Dex, Bonac, Roelly, Luke Sandoe, Jon De La Rosa and Kucklo. If Roelly brings the 2009 NY win, he wins the Mr O. I still think his posing can be better. If Curry is 5% better than the Arnold package, he wins. They love his shape/aesthetics. He does have beautiful shape. Still, the closest to being shredded I’ve seen him was at the Arnold. He is that good. He has won shows at being 90%. The 2 guys that can be Mr O if they could come in 100% are Lionel Beyeke and Cedric McMillan. Beyeke is a sleeping giant. He has the best overall package amongst all the guys. Shape, symmetry, muscle bellies and mass. He is never really shredded. When Cedric came in shape and won an Arnold.
Indeed!! Dave Palumbo from RX Muscle knows bodybuilding inside out from being the best amateur heavyweight bodybuilder during the days of the mass monsters with Dorian & Ronnie. Palumbo also understands injuries and steroids better than most bodybuilders as he actually completed 3 years of medical school before dropping out in his last year.
That's interesting. Dorian said to Dexter that he wishes he had trained differently? In every interview & personal training session I see Dorian do (YT, Instagram etc) Not once did I ever hear him say anything about regretting the way he trained. He even trains his clients the same way. One set all out to total failure. Even his PT course emphasizes high intensity. He only said he should have backed off a bit in the last weeks before the O. All of his injuries came right before shows when he was leaner & dehydrated; not during the off season. So when DJ says otherwise, I doubt that Dorian ever said that to him.
Dexter is 100 percent right on that. If a bodybuilder has to load and unload his own weight. While he has a P. T. Then he or she. Is more likely to come out that zone, he or she is in. When it comes to the hard faught for. Mind and muscle connection. That we work so hard to gain and perfect. You know what I mean?
I respect Ronnie Coleman however , I feel he should not lift at all or use machines only and not compromise his back and spine, give it up to the younger guys. Be around for you kids and wife. The man is in a wheelchair, he is not able to walk, he's tried all kinds of medicine, surgeries and therapies. I wish Ronnie Coleman the best and God bless him, Ronnie has a good heart and is a real champ.

Dexter is such an inspiration and an incredibly humble guy as well. No man has ever had a body like that at age 50, beating guys 20 years younger. I hope he wins the Olympia this year and continues to compete for many years to come. The sport needs legends like him.
smart man dex we all should take note of what he said about training to last look at him its living proof man respect
I hope he wins 2019 Olympia!!!
If he wins,,,I'll give you 10grand...NOT A FUCKING CHANCE IN HELL...
Jerry James i wanna see him win 2 but, i think phil gonna regain his crown.
@@isaacmettle ,gotta agree,if he's in shape...
@@isaacmettle I believe Phil's training for the new COMPETITION...MORE money than the Olympia
Loved every moment and minutes of this sit down chat
Vlad, PUT THE MIC CLOSER TO YOUR MOUTH, I CAN'T HEAR YOU DUDE.
Dexter is a class act!👍

Read, get out more.
Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but ain't nobody want to lift some heavy ass weight. Ronnie gave his all and showed everyone what it takes to be 8x Mr O. And he still trains after his injuries because of his love for moving weight. GOAT
Too right Vineet! And I'm sure he doesn't regret a second of it.
I like how Dexter is always keeping it real!
Brightest stars burn the shortest but are the most spectacular.. I’d have Ronnie Coleman’s legacy than a pair of walking legs in my 50’s any day!!
Great videos!!!!!! Dex you are a legend and I respect how you keep it real.
So much wisdom in a single video!
Dexter the legend. I’m so glad part 4 came. I hope he is doing a documentary leading up to this Olympia
I really hope Dex pulls out another win at the O - kinda like a lifetime achievement award.
Love Dex. Always keeps it real.
I live in jax FL. I hope I get a chance to meet you one day big bro. Great interview💯
Dex is a very smart man. Respect.
I switched to machines to high reps but I get tendinitis from it also!!So free weights n machines you still getin injuries!!Dex always got great videos,we want more Dex!!!
Very true what DJ is saying he is smart with his training and has lasted a long time in the sport.
Dexter seems like a really down to earth guy. I would like to meet him one day.
Well Ronnie had 8Mr Olympia titels and his compatition was crazy! There are people that do nothing with their life and have spinal surgery..
I love DEX...so awesome.
Dex is the real deal 💯 glad he took the Tampa and hope he nails his conditioning come Sept...🥇 💪 🔒
This is good interview w/ vlad and dexter has good stories
They need a new guy doing the interviews. This dude is dry as hell with almost no personality.
mikhail Adams
das just Vlad bro
@@malcolmbattle7530 lol yeah I know. Just feel like these interviews could be so much better with a different host with a little more energy and life.
Dexter has expressed everything!
Can't say anything but Dex is a straight up cool dude
Dex is a great subject for an interview, very interesting knowledge.
Great intro! A+ for creating on editing
Im 34 and i feel and look 23 still but i had old heads tell me in the gym use more machines bc of there joint issue and tbey walk with pain soo i use more machines theb ever
I'm 34 also. This past 12 months I've had multiple injuries through free weight training. Had to switch to machines on/off. After watching this, may just use them all the time. But it's not as enjoyable to me.
@@paulwright22 just dont go to hard in the paint on free weigbts using machince i believe keeps the body healthier but i do free weight to keep my raw strentgh but far as builing muscle longevity machines and outdoor body weight workput are a must im 235lbs and can run a 4.5 40 still just bc i incorperate other means of fitness
People forget about Ronnie already had back injuries from football 🏈 even before his BB days, he still went super Saiyan in the gym having back problems. I agree he should have adjusted a bit, but he took it to the next lvl.

true. dat man put his everything into the sport.
Do another 10 Dex. You the man😎
It is what it is. Bodybuilding and steroid use is an unhealthy addiction for some, an unhealthy career choice for others, or both. It is what it is. Just like a football player or a boxer knowingly sacrifices health for money. In the end we all get old, we all become disabled eventually and we all die. Ronnie truly loves the sport and if he wants to continue lifting, I say go for it. Live your life
could listen / watch dex all day long
With all do respect to Dexter, because I am a big fan, I believe he should have won more Mr. Olympias and he looks great but even though Ronnie and Dorian both lifted too heavy and probably wish they could still train and look as good as Dexter today they do have a lot of Mr. Olympia titles because of what they put themselves through. I guess it was just a trade off they made for greatness.
"hey dexter bro, i did not ask for your opinion or advice. i will continue lifting weights even if it kills me or the last thing i do." - ronnie coleman
Great interview!! Nice job
I really hope Dex takes the Olympia this year.
😂😂😂😂 which weed u smoking
Why can I hardly hear the conversation y'all are having but the background music for the intro blows my ear drums.
Ronnie had 12 spinal surgeries if anyone wanted to know
Micah Saunders
thx bro!!
Dex said it best. The guys from Kuwait are only about mass. They are not shredded. Brandon Curry looked damn good at the Arnold. He beat Bonac base on his shape. Bonac’s physique is complete and has no weaknesses and he was conditioned. Curry’s legs have improved but still not up par to the rest of his body. If Curry or Roelly don’t improve their conditioning and Dex and Bonac bring their usual conditioning, they are the top 2. Dex is the man to beat.
Top 6 in no order are Dex, Bonac, Roelly, Luke Sandoe, Jon De La Rosa and Kucklo. If Roelly brings the 2009 NY win, he wins the Mr O. I still think his posing can be better.
If Curry is 5% better than the Arnold package, he wins. They love his shape/aesthetics. He does have beautiful shape. Still, the closest to being shredded I’ve seen him was at the Arnold. He is that good. He has won shows at being 90%.
The 2 guys that can be Mr O if they could come in 100% are Lionel Beyeke and Cedric McMillan. Beyeke is a sleeping giant.
He has the best overall package amongst all the guys. Shape, symmetry, muscle bellies and mass. He is never really shredded.
When Cedric came in shape and won an Arnold.
This interviewer is a million miles off. You guys need an athlete who knows his game and has passion for bodybuilding.
Indeed!! Dave Palumbo from RX Muscle knows bodybuilding inside out from being the best amateur heavyweight bodybuilder during the days of the mass monsters with Dorian & Ronnie. Palumbo also understands injuries and steroids better than most bodybuilders as he actually completed 3 years of medical school before dropping out in his last year.
That's interesting. Dorian said to Dexter that he wishes he had trained differently? In every interview & personal training session I see Dorian do (YT, Instagram etc) Not once did I ever hear him say anything about regretting the way he trained. He even trains his clients the same way. One set all out to total failure. Even his PT course emphasizes high intensity. He only said he should have backed off a bit in the last weeks before the O. All of his injuries came right before shows when he was leaner & dehydrated; not during the off season. So when DJ says otherwise, I doubt that Dorian ever said that to him.
Dex always keeps it 💯
Love Dexter!!!
Keeping it 💯 as always.
I remember watching olympia 1990 and he was there, like he is immortal :)))
Dexter is 100 percent right on that. If a bodybuilder has to load and unload his own weight. While he has a P. T. Then he or she. Is more likely to come out that zone, he or she is in. When it comes to the hard faught for. Mind and muscle connection. That we work so hard to gain and perfect. You know what I mean?
Dex keeping it real...... Good job.
Please ten more😅😅
They need a new interview person hes not appealing or entertaining in the least bit.
I respect Ronnie Coleman however , I feel he should not lift at all or use machines only and not compromise his back and spine, give it up to the younger guys. Be around for you kids and wife. The man is in a wheelchair, he is not able to walk, he's tried all kinds of medicine, surgeries and therapies. I wish Ronnie Coleman the best and God bless him, Ronnie has a good heart and is a real champ.
Ronnie Coleman is bodybuilding
