Thread: DVD Review - Dexter Jackson "Unbreakable"

Well I just finished watching Dexters new DVD, and I honestly wasnt looking forward to this one after watching the trailer to it on the GMV website. The one reason I got turned off wanting to watch this DVD is simply because of Dexters attitude. For one he had his own rap songs made for it, then just the way he holds himself and does the little "two finger raise" on stage really puts me off him. But more on that later.

The content of the DVD actually quite surprised me. He has the normal training in the training DVD's, but between workouts, and sometimes between sets, he has little interviews. I actually didn't mind this. During the main part of the DVD his attitude didn't really come across too strong, and apart from falling asleep during parts of it (come on, I not long ago finished night shift lol), watching it wasn't unbearable, and sometimes quite entertaining - for a training DVD.

Then we get to the extras. Its got 2 extras on the DVD, "massage and Chiro", which I didnt even bother watching, then the "Superstar Seminar" which from the pics on the rear cover I was looking forward to. He had Ronnie, Phil, Troy Alves, Joe McNeal and himself all doing the seminar (apparently Jay's flight was cancelled and couldn't make it). It was comical and entertaining at the beginning. The whole Seminar went for about an hour, and THE WHOLE TIME, Dexter was telling everyone how good he was, and him and Phil kept throwing digs in jest to each other. After about 15 minutes this got very boring. But what puzzled me, is even though Jay was invited to this seminar, Dexter still bagged the shit out of him! Talk about disrespect! At the end of the seminar portion of the DVD, it was a guest posing by all of these guys plus Jay, and you could sort of tell that Jay was down by his loss by the way he held himself, but he was also very humble about the whole thing, and stayed very positive.

One part that made me laugh though, is when Dexter said he has beaten EVERYONE at some stage. LOL. He beat Ronnie when Ronnie was on his way out, he's beaten Jay on a really off year, and all the other guys are still coming up! Come on Dexter!! Then he has the most idiotic brain fart and told everyone that he won the Olympia. My god, IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM!!!!

So anyway, after everything that I've rambled on about here, this DVD is another good addition, if you can handle his up himself attitude

I'll look forward to watching this one.

i got his 2k7/2k or what ever the fk it is and i gave it away to a mate cos its shit! haha. i cant stand him the driest mofo in BBing! these dks need to get some humour about them and have a laugh every now and then, not just talk about how fkn awesome they are. thats what makes lee i rekn! yeah he is way up himself but he is still comical

Yeah I'm watching his 2K7 DVd now and it's taken me three weeks to watch it cause it's so boring. It's mainly about him promoting his first show. I'll watch Unbreakable next. Thanks for the review IW2BC.

Finally watched this last night and it will be the last Dexter Jackson DVD I will ever watch. Boring (yawn..) Also what's with his leg workout. Everything was partial reps! Ive seen first timers squat lower than him and as for the Hack Squats, he piled on the weight and then dropped about 10 inches! Given that performance, I'm not surprised he came third in the Olympia and probably should have come fifth, if Kai and Phil were on their game.
