Last month I gave a quick preview of the Mr. Olympia, then I headed off to Cabo for Jimmy's Bachelor Party. I was at sea when September 29th came and went a new Mr. Olympia. The anticipation was excruciating as I had to wait until we reached port to check my phone to see who won.I was up till 3:30 on the last night of our cruise, but at 6AM I felt the boat shift as it docked and I immediately woke up and turned my phone on. Then my jaw hit the floor as I saw on MD's site: "DEXTER WINS!"
His win is significant because this show for the last 10-15 years has been dominated by the "mass monsters" those ranging in the 260-300lb on stage weight. It's also big because Jay cutler, though way off, was expected to win simply because he was the incumbent. Now it has revitalized and restored credibility to the Mr. O.
Dexter started his bodybuilding amateur career as a bantamweight (145 lbs.) and now competes at over 230 pounds. He's been competing for over 10 years and he has become the 12th Mr. Olympia defeating the incumbent Jay Cutler! Congrats!
Top 10:
- Dexter Jackson

- Silvio Samuel
- Dennis James
