My Take
Dexter "The Blade" Jackson is a bodybuilder I can't help but respect for sheer longevity. The man won the 2008 Mr. Olympia and racked up a record 29 professional titles, including five Arnold Classics, which is just staggering. What stays with me is the nickname, The Blade, earned through that razor-sharp conditioning he was famous for. Coming out of Jacksonville, Florida, he competed at the top level long past when most peers had retired. I think of him as the consummate professional of his sport, proof that consistency and discipline, more than raw size, can build a truly historic career.
Overview
