Dexter Jackson Workout Routine And Video

0 comments

In the bodybuilding world of vein-popping guns and ripped abs, no one will argue the fact that there is nothing more impressive than a freakishly wide and dense back. Even the industry’s best find it difficult to get the thickness and definition that will cause head-turning stares of jealousy.

In the early stages of his career, Dexter Jackson understood the challenges of trying to build a back worthy of competing at the highest level. With focused movements and a well-rounded training regimen, these hardships quickly faded.
After adding some insane width and crazy detail, Dexter won the 3rd place title at the 2007 Mr. Olympia and has now been crowned 2008 Arnold Classic Champ. Being a man of focus, his secret to building a superior v-shaped back is to hit the weights hard while also targeting each complex back muscle from every angle.

Dexter reiterates the importance of not falling into the trap of improper form and sloppy execution. Every muscle-tearing mission requires intense focus while performing full ranges of motion.
Deadlifting 600lbs gives you some serious bragging rights, but there is no way you’re going to build the physique you hunger for if you have to call it quits after one physically draining exercise.
