The Scoop
: Athlete to Andrew: My buddy IFBB Pro Richard "Tricky" Jackson, checked in with me to give me the lowdown on his contest prep. Tricky Jackson is getting jacked for the 2009 Dexter Jackson Classic, a.k.a the IFBB Jacksonville Pro Bodybuilding Championships for 202 & Under (August 1). Man, that's a lot of Jackson! "My show prep has been business as usual. However, one thing's a little different. I have pushed my cardio up to almost two hours per day, averaging between 90 and 120 minutes," Tricky tells me. This is probably why he currently stands at 5'5", 200 lbs. and a ripped 3.6% body fat. "Show time should put me about 195 lbs. and 3.3% body fat. I feel great – the best ever. My fans will be happy. I am up 7-8 lbs. from last year. I'm harder with improvements in my shoulders and added back thickness. God has blessed me this year."
Tricky's blessings keep him super busy and stacked in the sponsorship department. "I am still with MHP. In addition, I have also teamed up with Posedown Magazine, and Liquid Sun Rayz is now my official tanning company of choice. 'Pro Muscle Radio' show is still poppin' for me and my co-hosts Jose Raymond and Tracy Beckham. We've recorded over 10 shows with big names in the sport like Dave Henry, Bill Wilmore, Vinny Galanti, Stan McQuay and Ed Nunn just to name a few. People can check it out at www.posedownmag.com every Sunday 6pm eastern time."
The "So What?"
: Tricky has even more irons in the fire. "Keep an eye out for my next DVD, 'Get Swole or Die Trying.' Fans can contact me through my website, as well as promoters that need a guest poser to bring down the house."
Andrew Oye's verdict
: No one can ever claim that Tricky is not a hard worker – on and off the stage. There should be an award for that
