Dexter Jackson has the motivation of others to get shredded for the end of the year.

“I’ve been seeing a lot of old dudes getting in shape. I just want to say now it’s time for me to get my butt in gear. Shout out to big bro, Kevin Levrone for the inspiration. Man, you are looking amazing. You have not motivated me.”

Jackson was able to battle some of the all-time greats on stage. He has collected victories in many major shows, including defeating Jay Cutler to win the 2008 Mr. Olympia. Jackson also won the Arnold Classic five times over the course of his career.

Levrone was one of the top bodybuilders in Men’s Open during the 90s. He was unable to capture the elusive Sandow Trophy but finished as the runner-up on four separate occasions. During this time, Levrone battled with the likes of Dorian Yates and Flex Wheeler. He is also a two-time Arnold Classic champion. Levrone has kept up with the happenings around bodybuilding and this includes the Olympia.

In 2012, Jackson was able to win the Masters Olympia title, which is still the last competition with the return set for August. Jackson stepped on stage for the final time during the 2020 Olympia and no comeback is in the works as of now but Jackson is focused on getting in shape.

“I’ve seen Kevin’s abs. It’s time to do something. I got to get it now. There’s a lot of guys out there that have gotten in shape. Jay Cutler, he did his before and after, and he looked amazing. I ain’t got all that muscle anymore. I’m pretty slim, my stomach flat.”
