Next MD Issue - Dexter Jackson Bodybuilding's Next Gift?

 

 

Being the number-one bodybuilder in the world is an achievement that commands respect from fans and fellow competitors alike. The reigning Mr. Olympia, five-time champion Phil Heath, is nicknamed “The Gift” because of the natural abilities that have helped to propel his career. Phil is a tremendous athlete and competitor, but one of the notable events of the 2015 Mr. Olympia contest was how close it was. In fact, The Gift almost got his ass handed to him by a 45-year-old grandfather, Dexter Jackson. With more longevity in the sport than Phil- Dexter has been competing in the IFBB for 17 seasons- could Dexter be the gift that keeps on giving? And the next Mr. Olympia?
