Take a look at what it takes to be a bodybuilding champion.

Dexter “The Blade” Jackson has gone on to make history winning a record breaking five Arnold Classic titles. The long time competitor utilized the off season well and fended off monster like Cedric McMillan, Justin Compton, and the always game Branch Warren. That’s a list of heavy hitters to say the least. Dexter acquitted himself well showing that even this late in his bodybuilding career that he has the veteran moves and experience to hold off these younger lions.

Jackson’s always been, and looking like he always will be, a man of shredded and ripped proportions. There’s no doubt that the former Mr. Olympia worked hard to get in top form for the competition and it shows in the man’s performance.
