Okay, yes I am biased I have long been a Dexter fan, so it truly makes me happy to report than Dexter Jackson won his first ever Olympia title. Defending champion Jay Cutler placed 2nd, with newcomer Phil Heath in 3rd in his rookie showing [the highest showing by a rookie in over 15 years].
After 10 Olympia appearences and 47 contests overall, Dexter finally claimed the biggest prize in bodybuilding. The 38 year old Jacksonville Florida native and father of four wins $155,000, and as he is sponsored by Muscletech he also recieves a healthy bonus from them for this win making it a huge payday for him.
