Martinez’s Breakdown
“Comparing to last shows where I’ve seen Dexter and Cedric – Cedric definitely had the mass. He had the size and good balance in his physique, but he didn’t have the conditioning Dexter has. Both have the muscle bellies but Dexter has the muscle maturity.”

“It will be a strong factor that Cedric hasn’t been on a stage like this before. And Dexter has had a great run at the Arnold and is coming off finishing first at the Masters Olympia. He’s going in fully loaded. If it’s close, Dexter will win. Dexter, even his worst conditioning can beat Cedric’s best conditioning. Cedric has to come in looking like the New York Pro with three times that conditioning.”
