my top 6 Dexter Silvio Heath Freeman wolf Freeman did the greatest move by asking to be judge next to Melvin other wise he would have gotten 8th and he look great biggest man on stage bigger than wolf

understand this. the most complete package won. If u were under 250 and were consistent in all your yrs. of hard work, and came in in top shape and somone said”oh he is too small” is that fair? This contest cannot get out of hand because of u big freaks want to see everyone over 260. Stop and remember what this contest is all about. THE BETTER MAN

By D. Stitt on Oct 2, 2008 at 10:31 am

little men like D Stitt… dexter is a midget and should have not even placed top 5 yet alone 1st.

By Big J Dizz on Oct 3, 2008 at 12:53 am

Heath had the complete package. I had him above all others. Dexter also looked great. Jay will always have that boxey look. I thought Wolf looked good for a big man, lean and huge. Jay should have placed lower behind Heath and Wolf

I’m proud of dexter. If you’ve ever seen him train you’d know he works for everything he gets. Also much props to phil Heath for doing so well. He is the next mr. Olympia!!!

By reynaldoo on Oct 4, 2008 at 3:15 am

Yeah right reynaldoo, Dexter has even said that he works out 3 times a week for about 45-60 minutes per session! Thats really hardcore!

By Tim on Oct 4, 2008 at 3:25 am

have you heard of mike mentzers heavy duty training?you don’t have to train 6-7 days a week. You need rest my friend. You also have to look at a person a somatype. Dexter being a classic ectomorph needs more more rest than the average bodybuilding superstar like yourself.

By Reynaldo on Oct 4, 2008 at 4:22 pm

GOOD FOR DEXTER!!! I am a big fan of Jays and thought he looked better than he did in years, but overall, Dexter has one of the best packages ever to grace the stage. He has the type of physique that you cannot draw any better. Im a dorian fan and a believer in the ‘bigger is better’ ideal, but Dexter cannot be denied…he deserved this and he deserves more. Peace.

Phil Heath , que futuro.. será nuestro futuro gran Mr.O , tendría que haber estado por encima de Jay. Esperemos que en el 2009 tengamos tambien a Victor Martinez y a Key entre los candidatos para que el ganador compita con los mejores

By Gonzalo on Oct 5, 2008 at 10:53 am

Its good to see Moe ELMOUSSAWI (New Zealand) who placed 9th here! CONGRATS! First time New Zealand has been represented at Mr.Olympia! I always shop at Moe’s nutrition store, he has the best products

Dexter better savor this moment, cuz Heath is gonna own this competition for the next 10 years.

By Brian on Oct 7, 2008 at 11:29 pm

thanks GOD that phil Heth is in 3rd position…………..dud u deserve that ……………..

By ahmed on Oct 8, 2008 at 5:38 am

Yo! Props to Dexter, the best man won, not the biggest…. it’s about time we start judging overall physique and not just the biggest guy with a little shape wins. But you guys enjoy your placing this year, next year Victor will be back, and he will be the next Olympia. Also watch out for Heath he’s coming up fast, but Victor Martinez is still my pick for next year… enough predictions we’ll just wait and see. Peace!

By Robinson Fernandez on Oct 9, 2008 at 1:41 am

The man (DEXTER JACKSON) is finally where he belong at the number 1 status. Proud of the brother. Make history again brother next year at the Mr. Olympia.

By ken cleveland on Oct 9, 2008 at 3:15 am

Great work Dexter, well deserved my friend. Should be a good showdown next year with Victor back. Hopefully Dennis Has a stronger showing. I think next years top 5 in no order will be
Dexter
Victor
Dennis
Phil
Jay ( hopefully he’s 5th or lower.

Glad to see someone who isn’t the biggest win

By Mike Sidor on Oct 9, 2008 at 1:22 pm

good job dexter one day at a time and your win next year too.

By Eddie Morales on Oct 9, 2008 at 5:36 pm

Inspiring moment. New direction for future trends I hope. Labrada-esqe “mass with class”. Damn, couldn’t get any sharper.

By brocksampson on Oct 9, 2008 at 9:26 pm

Well done to Dexter!! He is a warrior!
Phil Heath will be the next Mr Olympia after such an impressive debut this year!

By Dermot on Oct 14, 2008 at 9:15 am

heath 1st … dexter 2nd … melvin 3rd … u tell the rest

By madmax on Oct 14, 2008 at 6:46 pm

jay cutler should won…dk what those judges were looking at.
Not to mention No way Johnnie Jackson Should be 12th guy is fuckin ripped and giant for his height and can probably do more weight than 80% of the needle dicks

By titleist2242 on Oct 15, 2008 at 12:45 am

wat amazing ! dextar jackson tried hard and he deserved .jay please donot be foolish it isnot your time .show us jay wat will u do next year.be careful jay ,dennis wolf will sweep u over man hahhaha…and again congratulation for dextar

By budy portsaid on Oct 16, 2008 at 5:26 am

i WAS HOPING jAY cUTLER WOULD MAKE IT THREE IN A ROW, BUT, i MUST ADMIT DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS AND LOOKING OUTSTANDING, jAY HAD TO GIVE IT UP. tOO BAD.

By TERRY mCcONNELL on Oct 16, 2008 at 3:25 pm

jay was not at his best ,too bad he let it go

By luis on Oct 16, 2008 at 8:21 pm

It could have gone either way to jay and Dexter. Jay is a hard worker and serious bout the sport, he deserves what he has accomplished. Do well next time Jay!
Congrats to dex, you deserve it too.

By ken on Oct 22, 2008 at 11:35 pm

dexter is not a genuine winner

By alfred on Oct 22, 2008 at 11:52 pm

I think Jay should have taken it a 3rd year in a row with Dex at number 2. Folks always say Dex gets robbed due to his size. I think the same can be said for Darrem Charles, who looked top 5 to me. That dude is ripped to shreds and has the best bicep in the sport.

By Michael Bryson on Oct 23, 2008 at 11:59 pm

Show should have been between Phil and Dexter. Jay was not top 2 material hasn’t been for the past two years actually!

By Skorpyo on Oct 30, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Hey everybody I’m glad to see someone like dexter win the Mr O this guy has worked hard every year like everybody else always come in tip top shape he finally put on some size to match those awsome lines of his congrats dexter good luck next year.

By Lance E. Pruitt on Oct 30, 2008 at 7:17 pm

The displayed pics themselves r the evidence that Jay must have been Mr.O again
Perhaps the judges need to reconsider their decisions
All i can say to u Jay is that ur the best and u r Mr.O, the luck wasn’t on ur side man. I’m sure u will get this title back next year
U r our favourite here in Pakistan, we all love u and ur body
For us, u r still Mr.O and we await next year so that u bag this title again
Congrats Dexter

By SJK on Nov 1, 2008 at 8:27 am

Congrats. Dexter but it will be short lived because “The Big Bad Wolf” will have matured and be unstoppable. He’s young but has the best of it all. If he puts on just a little more size and keeps his waste size, he will hold the crown for a long time.

By Ritch on Nov 1, 2008 at 11:41 pm

judges are blind jonnie jackson is no way 12th i see him in top 5 he never gets his due.

Jay’s stomach looked good butas a complete package he is not the same compared to \
prior years.

Dareem is top 5 being such a longer limbed competiter his package is complete if mass wasnt at the heart of the judges criteria .

Heath looked excellent could take is next year

i liked david henry he has looked better in the past but was far from 15 i think he should of placd in top 10 at the very least

By jbizzyblox on Nov 4, 2008 at 1:57 am

Dextar you are looking great… But What happened to Ronnie coleman..

By chandru on Nov 17, 2008 at 5:43 am

Finally Dex won it all. Jay didn’t deserve 2nd place , he was in a bad shape. Personally i think that this Olympia wasn’t at a high level , at least wat were used to . Anyway Dex , congrats!
