Hey there guys, even here and we have breaking but also sad news for Bodybuilding World, our 2008 Mr Olympia Champion, the never aging, the vampire, 50 years old, Texter Jackson, one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, is finally taking a break from bodybuilding. He is retiring in 2020. Now even though these news are pretty sad, I mean to see him go after all these years, or decades you can call it, it's a pretty good decision because he almost won every single pro show out there and as far as Arnold classics, he only didn't win the South Classic, South America and he's going to try to do that this year and the Mr Olympia 2020 is going to be his last show. We're going to talk about it a little bit more after I show you how I know about it. If you go to NPC News Online website, you will find this article. So apparently he did an interview with NPC News Online and this is his words and they're quoting him. I've thought long and hard about how I want my career to end, explains Jackson. I want to go out on my own terms. I'm still capable of winning any show I enter and in September I'm taking one final shot and taking home a second sando. The Olympia is the greatest show in bodybuilding and I want my final post done to be on that stage in Vegas against the best in the world. Texter adds that 2020 Olympia will be my final contest, so I hope everyone who has supported me will be there to make it special. So there you go guys, it is legit. I mean if you talk about reliable source of information and bodybuilding, that would be NPC News Online website of course. This is not a generation iron stuff. So even though he didn't post anything on his IG, it's legit. It's NPC News Online and it's kind of expected. I mean why would he wait for his physique to go down and for him to fall out of top 10 at the Mr Olympia or top 6 or whatever, he's still there and he's basically, you can call it a peak of his career. Even though he was second at the 2015 Mr Olympia and he was first of course in 2008 and he was top 3 for many many years, it's still really good result in placing fourth in the world. Had 50 years of age, I mean he was 49 almost like a month or two months out of being 50 still. I mean even if you leave that aside, he won 29 pro shows. 9 of those were Arnold classics and if he wins Arnold classics South Africa and I think he can do that easily, he's going to have 30 pro wins. 29 is already a record but 30 is a nice round number and also he has 20 Mr Olympia appearances. So imagine that, imagine ending your career like that. He would go down as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. You could argue, he's at him or Ronnie Coleman or Phil Heath or maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger but he's definitely one of the top guys who achieved one of the biggest achievements that you can win that you can actually achieve as a bodybuilder. Just imagine doing something like him winning so many pro shows. It's insane, it's insane and competing at the highest level at 50 years of age. It's just amazing but don't be too sad guys. We still have about 7 months before the Mr Olympia so we also have to see him at the Arnold Classic in 2 weeks and then also Arnold Classic Australia. Yeah he's doing Australia also and South America. So I hope he's going to win the South America. I'm expecting him to be in the top 3 or maybe even top 2 at the Arnold Classic Ohio. Maybe even win it. It's not impossible. And then later at the Mr Olympia we'll see how he will do but I'm not doubting that he can crack the top 4, top 5, at least top 6. So no it's not over yet. We still have to see him in a couple of more shows and you know any of these bodybuilders retire and then they come back but I just don't think Dexter will do something like that. I think he is the person of high integrity so I think when he retires that's going to be it for him but he will retire on a high horse. So great, great, I mean it's not enough to just say great career. One video of even bodybuilding doesn't really cut it. We need much much more to to appreciate this kind of career in bodybuilding but that's all I can say really. It's really amazing and I think guys being passionate about bodybuilding and being inspired just like I am right now. I think this is why he was doing all this and I think this is all what we all want to achieve one day. You have other people, new people, young people, be inspired and be motivated by your effort by your achievements and Dexter Jackson is one of the greats who has done just that. So guys tell me down below what do you think about it? Do you think it's a smart move for him to anti-scoreal right now? Whatever you want to say about Dexter, just say down below.
