Dexter Jackson

Dexter Jackson is earned the title of Mr. Olympia in 2008 and has been a major part of the bodybuilding world for more than two decades. His first competition with the National Physique Committee came in 1992, and he made a splash with a 3rd place finish. From that point on everyone knew his name and for good reason. At five foot six he is one of the most built and cut individuals you will ever see. When he began competing professionally in 1999 he became a star, placing 7th at the 1999 Arnold Classic, 3rd at the Night of Champions and 9th at his first Mr. Olympia contest. Although many critics stated that he would never finish higher than 3rd in a Mr. Olympia competition he proved them wrong in 2008, earning the title and their respect. He’d go on to capture the title at the Arnold Classic, Australian Pro Grand Prix VIII, New Zealand Grand Prix, and Russian Grand Prix that same year. Since earning the title of Mr. Olympia in 2008 he has continued to dominate the pro circuit and has earned the reputation as one of the most hard working and dedicated individuals in all of professional bodybuilding.
