Dexter Jackson Plans to Compete in the 2020 Mr. Olympia
The veteran Olympia competitor and 2008 champ proves that age is just a number.
Dexter Jackson is already a veritable bodybuilding legend, having won 29 IFBB Pro League shows over the course of his career. Those wins include five Arnold Classics and, most notably, the 2008 Olympia. But the 49-year-old athlete isn't done just yet. In fact, "The Blade" just casually announced that he has every intention of competing in the 2020 Olympia.
Alongside a photo of himself ahead of his impressive fourth-place finish at the 2019 Olympia, Jackson made it clear that he'll do whatever it takes to bring a better physique to the stage next year.
"I damn near killed myself this year. Lol! I will be better next year or I?ll die trying. So if y?all see or hear that the blade passed.. you?ll know why," he joked in the Instagram post.
