Audio is a work in progress lol. It's def less echoey than before but gets distorted when speaking louder despite tons of audio editing. Gimme a few videos I'm sure it'll get better.
genetics play part but lets face it his longevity is largely down to his training style light weights( for a pro), mostly on machines he competed a lot also, so never took really big off-seasons.The main reason he didn't add more than 20 lb in 20 years on his frame.
I can't say enough about The Blade. The guy is super human. I mean, even at his age, he nearly won the Arnold Classic last year with his 2nd place finish. That's incredible. I don't agree when people keep saying that it's time for him to retire. Heck, they've been saying that for a long time and Dex still gets high placings. I'm sure Dex will know when it's time to stop. I agree, 2009 was his best look. However, is it just me or the lighting in 2009 was freaking awesome. Branch Warren actually looked amazing imo. Also, tied with 2001, this was my favorite Jay Cutler. Great video Tom. Btw, I see what you mean about the audio. Even though it gets distorted it's definitely better, although I never thought your previous audio was bad.
It literally looks like the same pictures in 08 and 09, but with lighter skin tone in 09 and different backgrounds. I can see full well how you reluctantly came to your conclusions though. It was very tough for me to figure out, but you pointed out all the right things to come up with your decision. Well done.
Dex once said that one of his favourite forms ever was at the 1999 english grand prix! There's a video of it on his instragram in a older post. He was pealed there and his calves were much bigger then to!
5:06 are HD cameras were invented in 2009? :D Meanwhile 6:00 shows just the opposite. I mean it's difficult to point out those minor differences in detail when the resolution is so fluctuating. He has those chest striations in 09. You may/should do a video about the 09 Olympia (I know you made quite a few about it already) focusing on Branch and Dex as I believe the Blade was somewhat screwed. Even if it stands that he went up against the best version of Branch, but if 09 Dex was the best Dexter ever then it is ultimately the question about whose best shape is better? So are we really going to say that the best version of Branch is better than the best version of one of the greatest bodybuilders ever? Unlikely, to say the least.
People might gimme shit for this, but fuck it, dexter by far has my favorite most muscular of all time. I just think his traps are so perfect, but his arm size goes so well with those insane traps
Might have considered adding 2015 Prague Pro just to have a representation of the grainier, more mature Dex. As you said, though, lighting is a big factor, and the Prague Pro tends to excel in that respect. Love the incremental improvements you're making with each video. Calling it now, 2019 is the blowup!
Aaron Singerman suggested Dexter looked best at the 2012 Masters Olympia. The popular opinion for Dexter's 08 and 09 Olympia looks was that, in 09 Dexter appeared a tad flater onstage than in 08.
It’s a toss up, he looks fantastic both years. Again, shame he went turtle bellied later on. And 2001 Jay is better than 2009 imo. Check out those guys you shouted out in your video, they make a compelling case.
Bruh, when you edit on premiere Pro, you have to change the setting to record with your microphone instead of pc device. You're currently not using the mic at all. I have the same mic and you're deffo not using it. Look at your settings. If that's not the case, check other settings cuz something is off. P. S. A yeti microphone owner.
Don't have Premiere Pro so don't know about that, but it's def using it. It says Blue Yeti as input source lol. Gain might be a little high and I don't have the best acoustic environment (lot of hard walls and wood floors).
He is missing an entire body part. How well should a competitor fare without biceps? Calves matter if you are a true BODY builder. He’s also not the nicest person. Not a fan whatsoever.

Limit your input by lowering the gain on the mic and increase recording quality if possible.
Thank you so much for the shout out! I was super pumped to here you mention my channel. you rock man!
np homie it was well deserved. You should have at least 10x the subscribers so hopefully this can help you get there
Subbed 👍
Agreed , Marx may have the best voice on u tube.
Nic vids
@Mikeys Strength And Fitness you also deserve credit for shouting out Marx Maxx early on you made a effort to help him too 👍👍👍
I'd have to jump in a woodchipper to get as shredded as Dex
lol
I always wonder if you’re the same account that I see comment on Nux Taku and Jaxbladr videos lol
Good one man
Its nice seeing you are investing in the quality of your vids!💪🏼
Every video you make Tom is magnificent! :)
Holy shit, the audio is miles better than before.
Mikeys strength and fitness told me about your channel awsome vids man im loving it 👍👍💪💪
Reason to Dexter's longevity is that the man is immortal, thats the only possible solution. Great job Tom, like always.

@@TheLusianPopa True, I agree 100% with you (like always), but I still belive in my theory.

2004 was his best look, absolutely insane. Best obliques I've ever seen
I've been watching mikey's strength and fitness and marx max muscle for a while now. Both great channels! Nice of you to give a shout out
Audio is great, nice video!
Sounds good to me. Late 2000s Dexter was the most impressive to me -- razor sharp, aesthetic, balanced, and confident.
Great video man!
4:37 Jay Cutlers legs are insane! i know this was about Dex but dang!
Not the biggest, but def the most pleasing quads ever
Yes, it will be good if u compare dexter and branch in 2009 for another video.
You also deserve more subscribers man.
Love your work✌️
2006 Olympia Dex was another great one
Fr he should’ve won tbh
Crystal clear audio man
Excellent audio Tom
My 3 favorite bodybuilding channels mentioned in one video 😮
Now this is a cool guy.... two shout outs to other bodybuilding channel's. 👍
On IG now!!! you just picked up a subscriber from me (for your IG) I have been watchign this channel for a long time now!:)

Sounds good bro
1999 and 2004 these 2 versions are underrated
Agreed, but didn't care for the obvious synthol calves in 99
Tomn8er yeah, since that is all about shit calves syndrome
@@Tomn8er dude it wasnt synthol
some other SEO then, doesn't matter. You know what I mean
@@Tomn8er respect bro i might but others may not, dont say synthol
I'm late to this, but I would also argue one of his best shapes ever was in the 2008 Arnold Classic.
Awesome vid on the master of consistency! Yeah like You I gotta give the edge to 2009 as well. This vid helps one appreciate Dexter even more
The most underrated bodybuilder ever incredible
Nice move to shout Mickeys Strenght and Fitness out ❤

Really that early on? He was just getting started back then

Hey glad you're on IG now!! Gonna add you right now...lol.
All the years are pretty good to be fair
I have no idea why people hated your Arnie intro. I found it hilarious. Every time.
Ah well.
He improved on leg size a little bit in O9. Look closely!
@Tomn8er great story on the Blade.
4:55 hey t0m, c0me on man, giwe g00d 0l' dex s0me seri0us pr0ps f0r that barn d0or back //
excellent wide0 btw
he had really proportionate and good looking traps in my opinion and it looks very aesthetic
People might gimme shit for this, but fuck it, dexter by far has my favorite most muscular of all time. I just think his traps are so perfect, but his arm size goes so well with those insane traps
do a video on their best shape vs worst shape!
Like others said, it would be interesting a video about Dexter vs Branch Olympia 09. They coliided that year with arguably their best phisyque ever.
Sounds good. Best Dex? 2008-10
Might have considered adding 2015 Prague Pro just to have a representation of the grainier, more mature Dex.

Dexter the Goat!!
Sounds good but you gotta turn up the volume
Longevity wise Beckles and the black prince have the 👑
The amount of views you get with so little subscribers. Kudosa
Master Olympia he was so peeled
Dex in 03 Mr O was awesome!

03 and 04 were awesome razor-sharp looks but a little undersized imo
2015 olympia version was crazy.
2013, ultra shredded
Bro 2003 mr olympia!!!!!
yo! exactly, man... that was a sick physique he brought in '03.
Ohhhh... ; *Mr Dex*Jackson* Really Is SO Magnificent!!! *~*Tomn8er**
Aaron Singerman suggested Dexter looked best at the 2012 Masters Olympia. The popular opinion for Dexter's 08 and 09 Olympia looks was that, in 09 Dexter appeared a tad flater onstage than in 08.
How many hour did you spend dexter at gym in a day before olympia contest
It’s a toss up, he looks fantastic both years. Again, shame he went turtle bellied later on. And 2001 Jay is better than 2009 imo. Check out those guys you shouted out in your video, they make a compelling case.
Time for you to do your Arnold Impression into the yeti!
Do you think he had calf implants back in 1999 mr Olympia?
No but I think it's pretty obvious he was using an SEO there
Im a 10 yr old bodybuilding fan 130lbs on bulk
Boy play sports for now. Though lifting has nothing to do with your growth still your bones, joints, tendons are still soft as you're only 10.
what about 2003 olympia?
Dont understand graininess from an aesthetic standpoint
2009
do you even get old bro ??
I liked his 08 a little more won't lie
Fuck man, you sounded 10x better easily, easily
Rip calves
Iagree with 2009!
great video, prefer you over Max
Ooooo❤🔴🔴
Tommn8er start doing asmr vids with the yeti mic !
He got robbed in 2015.
100th like 😘
Dexter Jackson is the snoop dogg of body building
Cuz he's an OG that's been around forever...? 🤔
Tomn8er my thought exactly

Yeah it's just weird because it's not sounding as clear as it should be, so try speaking to it through different angles.
He was robbed in 2015
He is missing an entire body part. How well should a competitor fare without biceps? Calves matter if you are a true BODY builder. He’s also not the nicest person. Not a fan whatsoever.
Insulin gut..
Reporting on old news gets old. Unsubbing. No disrespect. Best of luck.
That's fine. This ain't a news channel
@@Tomn8er no kidding lol
Dex is such a beast
