Next MD Cover: The Arnold Special!! Victor Martinez,
the 2007 Arnold Classic winner, graces this month’s cover of the 21st annual Muscular Development, devoted totally to the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. This year, the whole MD team will descend upon Columbus, Ohio to bring you the best coverage we have ever given to a bodybuilding contest— as we do every year to honor the very best bodybuilding has to offer. Our subsequent issue featuring the coverage is just as anticipated as this preview issue. So, let’s get right down to brass tacks.
Four-time Arnold Classic champion Flex Wheeler runs down the preview of the guys in the show and how he thinks they will fare, pitted one against the other. Weak points, strong points, and his predictions on where they will place. Then we move on to feature the top five guys who we feel have the best shot at victory.
Victor Martinez is poised to make the comeback of the decade. The 2007 winner should have two Mr. Olympia titles under his belt by now, but as you know, fate saw it another way. This year, fighting back from the surgery to reconnect his patellar tendon, Victor seems unstoppable. It should be very exciting to see him comeback and retake his Arnold Classic crown.
‘The Predator’ Kai Greene is also hunting for an Arnold crown and he’s out for blood. Kai is also coming back after an abdominal hernia operation. Can this amazing monster catch the champ? Has he ironed out the mass he added to his frame? These questions are sure to be answered sooner rather than later. One thing for sure is that Kai will bring down the house with a posing routine I’m sure you will be talking about for the rest of the year.
Next is the contest prep of Mr. Blue-Collar Muscle, Branch Warren. ‘Mass With Cass,’ ‘The People’s Champ’— Branch embodies them all. He is a true champion and staunch devotee of everything hardcore. His appearance in Columbus is sure to shock and amaze us. Branch is also coming back after a debilitating triceps injury and all of our best wishes are traveling to Ohio with him.The biggest dude in the show, Toney Freeman— also known to bring down the house with a stellar and outrageous posing routine— blasts his lower body and talks about his plans to do damage at the Arnold. Toney is the original ‘X-Man’ and out of all the competitors onstage, he casts the greatest shadow. Watch out for Toney Freemen!
‘El Matador’— Silvio Samuel— makes an appearance with his sword drawn, ready for the kill. He’s not the biggest boy in the pack, but his superior condition and big round muscle bellies have made many a giant run for cover. Everyone is waiting to see what he brings to Columbus after winning the Ironman this past weekend. Silvio was not at his best at the Ironman and will require to be a lot drier with more muscle separation if he is to make the Top 5.
Last but not least director/photographer George Butler discusses the film that put Arnold on the map, “Pumping Iron.” With a special appearance by ‘Incredible Hulk’ Lou Ferrigno, discover what went into the making of the film that started it all. Without “Pumping Iron,” none of us would be heading to Columbus this year!That about does it for this 21st annual Arnold Classic special preview issue which appears on the newsstand February 3rd. The rest of the book is packed as always with the best cutting-edge research information, news and entertainment on building the body of your dreams by the very best our industry has to offer. See you in Columbus!

Traurige Geschichte, ich glaube sowas ist wirklich hart, seine eigene Schwester zu identifizieren...
Ich bin ehrlich gesagt gespannt was wirklich draus wird aus ihm, entweder er wird noch verbissener seinem Ziel entgegen arbeiten, eben um es für seine Schwester zu tun, oder er wird in ein sehr tiefes Loch fallen...
Mehr als alles gute kann man solchen Menschen echt nicht wünschen....

Ich habs zwar gelesen, aber noch nicht ganz verstanden, was er falsch gemacht hat... Wenn sein Visum abgelaufen ist kann man ihn doch einfach nicht einreisen lassen oder? Gleich Gefängniss und dann kommt er nichtmal gegen Kaution frei?

Kenn mich damit überhaupt nicht aus, aber mir kommt das suspekt vor...

[szhantel]

Mit den Feinheiten der Regeln der amerikanischen Einwanderungsbehörde kenne ich mich auch nicht aus. Ein paar Sachen weiß ich aber. Victor ist kein amerikanischer Staatsbürger sondern ein "Legal Alien". Und der Versuch der Einreise in die USA mit ungültigen Papieren gilt dort als Straftat. Jetzt sitzt er in Untersuchungshaft und das Gericht evaluiert, ob es für die USA von Vor- oder von Nachteil ist, daß seine Green Card erneuert wird und er so bleiben darf. Daß er vor einiger Zeit im Gefängnis saß, weil er Steroide und Betäubungsmittel vertickt hat (die nächste Straftat), ist da nicht unbedingt förderlich und schließt auch eine Freilassung auf Kaution aus. Seit 9/11 ist die USA recht humorlos in diesen Fragen.

[JOTSCHKA]

Ich bin schon auf Vorher-Nachher-Fotos gespannt wenn er wieder rauskommt:lol:

[robert234]

Seit 9/11 ist die USA recht humorlos in diesen Fragen.
humor haben die eh nicht, dafür sitzt ihnen der colt recht locker.

[MagicDave]

Verstehe, wusste nicht dass er schonmal eine Straftat begangen hat und die Untersuchungen versteh ich in diesem Zuge auch, aber wenn jemand schonmal 10 Jahre in diesem Land gelebt hat und die Papiere ausgeloffen sind, dann lass ich den doch einwandern/verlängern (nach Überprüfung) und steck ihn nicht ins Gefängniss, der wird ja nirgendshin flüchten oder wen umbringen. mM..

Schon klar dass die Angst haben gg, aber find das trotzdem irgendwie übertrieben und nicht ganz in Ordnung (Aber ist halt nur meine Meinung vielleicht seh ich einfach die Hintergründe zu wenig).

[szhantel]

Details:

At 1 pm today, Victor Martinez walked into a US Immigration and Customs courtroom with hopes of leaving a free man. Sadly, things did not go how he, and most of the bodybuilding community had hoped. While his girlfriend, his close friend and training partner, IFBB Pro Jon De La Rosa observed, the lawyers conferred. Victor’s lawyer actually teleconferenced in, as he wasn’t able to be in New York for the case. After all was said and done, the judge had decided to side with the government, not granting Victor bail. His next hearing will be on January 6th, 2012.

By January 6th, Victor will have been in I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) holding for almost exactly 90 days. The 90-day mark is significant in that it is the cut-off time for the US government to hold someone in an immigration matter. At the 90-day mark, they need to either release him, charge him with a crime, or deport him.

Best case scenario would be Victor spending 3 extremely depressing months in a federal holding cell. These are usually about 6 by 8 feet in size, with steel or brick walls and one solid or barred door; not a fun place to spend three months. Victor would then get out with the ability to renew his green card. At that point, he wouldn’t be able to get ready for the Arnold, on March 2nd-4th. This would give him around 8 weeks to not only diet, but put back on a the muscle he will surely lose while locked up. If this scenario comes to pass (and I hope it does), then we could certainly see Victor back on the Olympia stage in September.

Second best case scenario would be that on January 6th, Victor is deported back to the Dominican Republic. There he may live very well on substantially less money than he is currently making. There are 9 shows outside of the US in the 2012 season, and only 1 of those (The Sheru Classic), he would not be the favourite for.

The worst possible scenario is that the government isn’t deporting him now because they are investigating or building a federal case against Victor. I have no details on this, and wouldn’t speculate on what those charges could be. I have, however, been told by a lawyer that specializes in immigration law in New York City, that this is a possible scenario. With the government’s federal conviction rate at almost 95%, this is decidedly the worst case scenario. Obviously, if this were to occur, Victor would not only serve a sentence in a federal prison, but when the sentence is completed, he would then be deported.

Kurz zusammengefasst: Er bleibt auf jeden Fall bis zum 06.01.12 in Untersuchungshaft. Dann gibt es drei Szenarien:

1.: Er wird freigelassen und erhält eine erneuerte Green Card.
2.: Er wird in sein Heimatland Dom Rep abgeschoben.
3.: Man bastelt an einer Anklage gegen ihn. Bei einer Verurteilungsquote von 95% hiesse das ab in den Knast - und dann Abschiebung.

Manche Menschen haben merkwürdige Prioritäten. Da sitzt einer in Haft und wird eventuell abgeschoben, muss seine Familie, Freunde und Geschäfte, sein ganzes Leben zurücklassen und in einem ihm fremden Land (Victor lebt in New York City, seitdem er sieben Jahre ist) ganz neu anfangen. Und Singermann sorgt sich um die Teilnahme an der Arnold Classic. :neutral:

[MagicDave]

Na dann hoffen wir das beste für Ihn, 1. wär schön, 2. wär hart aber 3. is doch unmenschlich (stecken wir ihn in den Knast und schieben ihn danach trotzdem noch ab)...

[Short Dawg]

Erinnert mich an Boris Kleine damals...

[DerZukunftsBody]

Jo mich auch.. Der musste auch sein ganzes Leben danach umstellen. So als Pro-BB ist das schon sehr schade und schlimm, wenn man die ganze Zeit sein Leben nach BB richtet und einem dann alles sozusagen versaut wird. Dann auch noch vielleicht Abschiebung, obwohl das sozusagen seine Heimat ist.. Der Victor ist echt nicht gerade mit Glück gesegnet, erst das mit seiner Schwester, dann ein Riss der Patella und jetzt das..

[JOTSCHKA]

Naja jetzt hört aber mal auf, wenn er sich nicht beim Drogen verticken erwischen lässt hat er auch keine Probleme. Das jetzt als die Schuld der Behörde darzustellen halte ich für nicht richtig.
Vielleicht haben sie ihn deswegen einfach immer noch auf dem Kieker, er sieht ja nicht gerade aus als hätte er alles illegale schwups di wups abgesetzt...

[szhantel]

Vielleicht haben sie ihn deswegen einfach immer noch auf dem Kieker, er sieht ja nicht gerade aus als hätte er alles illegale schwups di wups abgesetzt...

Victor ist kein Unschuldslamm. Er hatte 2003/2004 im ganz großen Stil Drogenhandel laufen. Die haben sogar ´nen Undercover Cop auf ihn angesetzt, der dann sein Vertrauen erschlich und dem er dann später Steroide und GHB verkaufte. Und spätestens da hört der Spass für mich auf, das ist die sogenannte "Vergewaltigungsdroge". Ein paar Tropfen davon ins Glas der weiblichen Begleitung und die ist 12 Stunden ausgeknocked. Praktischerweise ist das Zeug auch nur 12 Stunden im Körper nachweisbar. Wer so etwas verkauft, ist ein ganz übler Drecksack.

Im Gespräch waren damals 4-6 Jahre Haft, aber weil er gesungen und alle seine Quellen verraten hat, haben sie ihm dafür einen Deal angeboten für drei Monate Haft und fünf Jahre Bewährung.

Ihr würdet übrigens mit den Ohren schlackern, wenn Ihr wüsstet, wie viele Pros mit Dealerei Ihren Eigenbedarf an Steroiden finanzieren...

[JOTSCHKA]

Sehr interessant, das wusste ich bis jetzt nicht. Einfach alles weglächeln auf der Bühne.

[MagicDave]

Sagte ja weiß den Hintergrund zu wenig, jetzt versteh ichs.

[szhantel]

Als Geste der Unterstützung auf dem Cover der nächsten MD. Kleines Update: Victor hofft, zumindest über
die Weihnachtsfeiertage gegen Kaution und mit einer elektronischen Fußfessel zu seiner Familie zu dürfen.

Ok fans of Victor Martinez, here is the scoop on what went down at Vic's hearing today in New York City. Initially we thought that today's hearing was mainly concerned with some documentation procedures and once the procedures were finished the court would name a date for Martinez' final hearing. But it didn't quite work out that way.

According to our source, a few of the documents were not in order and the announcement of the date of Martinez' final hearing is now postponed until February 24th, 2012. Martinez attorneys believe that the final court date will be sometime in April or May. There was a bright side for Martinez. A judge approved his application to waive his prior criminal charges.

Currently Martinez remains in mandatory detention without bail. Vic's attorneys think there is a possibility that he might be let out on parole sometime between now and the next hearing on February 24th. However it is also possible that he could stay detained until the final hearing that could be set for sometime in April or May.
According to his attorneys, if all goes well at his final hearing, he could be granted US citizenship.

Our sources say that Victor misses his family, misses his fans, wishes he had a gym and misses training. He looks healthy and rested. They even say that he will come back and be better than ever when he gets out.

Martinez was taken into custody October 9th, 2011 - one day after winning the Arnold Europe in Madrid, Spain - when he was attempting to re-enter the United States.

Kurz zusammengefasst: Die gestrige angeblich finale Anhörung wurde in den April oder Mai (!) verschoben, da etwas mit den Unterlagen nicht in Ordnung war. Wann genau, wird am 24. Februar verkündet. Victor muss solange in Haft bleiben, seine Anwälte bemühen sich weiterhin um Bewährung. Seine kriminelle Vergangenheit wurde vom Richter jedoch für den Fall als nicht relevant erklärt. Am Ende des Prozesses könnte Victor also US-Bürger werden.

The Waiting Game

Victor Martinez Bides His Time Behind Bars

Exclusive Interview by Ron Harris for Muscular Development


The last time Victor had called me, I really couldn’t talk. It was about 10:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and I was walking into Mohegan Sun casino to ring in the New Year with about 200,000 other happy (and drunk) revelers. Meanwhile, the reigning Arnold Classic Europe champ was locked up in New Jersey as he waited for his next hearing to determine his fate. That hearing happened on January 6, and as often happens in our justice system, all that came of it was a postponement until the next hearing on February 24 where he will be given his final hearing date. Theoretically, Victor might be in there until April or May before he hopefully is released and can start getting his life back in order. By then, he will have been incarcerated for roughly seven months. I spoke to him last night, and under the circumstances Martinez sounded remarkably calm.

MD: Victor, I saw that one encouraging thing came out of the hearing a few days ago. Your application to waive the criminal charges was approved by the judge. Does that mean they won’t count against you in the final decision whether to let you stay in the USA?

VM: Yes, and that’s major.

MD: I don’t understand why you haven’t been granted bail, though. Usually I thought people weren’t given bail mainly because they were considered a flight risk. You’re trying to stay here. It’s not like you’re going to disappear into the Midwest and live under a false name. You’re a professional athlete and a public figure.

VM: For whatever reason, it’s harder for legal aliens like me to get bail. I still have a good chance of getting that, though; my lawyer is still working on it.

MD: I also understand that you might be a citizen after all this? Would the judge just grant it to you automatically if he decides to let you stay?

VM: No, it’s not like that. I would have to apply for it again. But that would be my first priority, obviously! I also want to let the ladies know that I’m not an illegal alien, so I don’t need to get married.

MD: What, have you been getting proposals?

VM: Yeah, a few women have offered to bail me out and marry me so I can stay here. Some are women I know, others I’ve never even heard of. My girlfriend wouldn’t be too happy about that.

MD: Who was at the hearing on Friday, anyone we know?

VM: Jonathan De La Rosa was there with his dad and Juan Morel. Jon’s dad is bigger than me now! Victor Munoz was at the hearing, so was my friend Ralph, plus my sisters, my aunt, my niece, and my nephews. Lot of support and I appreciated it.

MD: I hate to ask you this, but a ton of people on the MD boards have been speculating and wondering what you weigh now. Do you even know? Do you have access to a scale?

VM: No, but I don’t need a scale. I feel about 230, and I know my body pretty well so that’s gotta be close. I came in here at about 265. I won’t lose any more weight, though. I’ve leveled off and this is where my body will stay.

MD: Has the exercise situation improved? Do you have access to any weights at all?

VM: Nope. Listen up, meatheads— don’t do anything in the state of New Jersey, ‘cus there ain’t no weights in their jails!

MD: Whoever we got the info about the hearing from said you looked rested. Have you been sleeping more than usual?

VM: Oh, definitely. I spend most of the day reading and writing to fans. I’ve gotten letters from Hawaii, England, Spain, all over.

MD: I meant to ask, if people write to you, should they include a self-addressed stamped envelope?

VM: They can include an envelope, but we have to pay for postage out of our commissary account, and that has a $125 limit. Guess who owns the commissary? The Bush family!

MD: No shit?

VM: Yeah, I gotta tell Gerard he should get some MHP protein bars in the prison commissaries— he could make a killing. Everything they sell now is candy bars and chips.

MD: What time do you have to be in your cell for the night by?

VM: That’s what I wanted to say. They won’t move me to the dor
ms in the immigration section. I have friends over there. This whole time I’ve been stuck in the intake section where they have us locked up at 9. Immigration doesn’t lock down until 11. The other thing is, there’s a chin-up bar and dipping bars over there I could be using. All we have in my section is a chin-up bar outside, and if the weather’s bad they won’t even let me out there.

MD: That sucks. I know jail isn’t supposed to be the Ritz-Carlton, but how is your cell?

VM: I think it’s about 8 feet by 10 feet. It’s freakin’ cold in here, though, like about 50 degrees. I have a bad cold right now. The bed is just big enough for your body. You can’t move around at all. The mattress is maybe an inch and a half thick.

MD: So, no Posturepedic mattress with memory foam?

VM: No, man.

MD: Couple other random questions— do you have to take showers with a ton of other dudes? Is your hair growing back?

VM: We do have individual shower stalls, but a lot of the showerheads don’t work. Plus the drains are always getting clogged up with I don’t know what. We have a barber in here for my head, but my body hair is all back now. I look like a damn Chia Pet.

MD: You mentioned before that it’s tougher to get bail as a legal alien. What else is different?

VM: You’re better off being an illegal alien or a U.S. citizen charged with a felony. Usually they get bail, and they get less time. But I should say that one bad thing I’ve seen them do with illegals is to keep them totally isolated for the first couple weeks they get here. Then they get scared and confused, and they give them papers to sign out and be deported. They might have a 50/50 chance of beating the case and staying here, but after all that they just want to get out one way or another.

MD: How are you dealing with not being able to train or eat right?

VM: I don’t stress out about it because there’s nothing I can do about it right now. The only thing that really bothers me is not being with my kids. I try to keep busy with a lot of reading. I’m on the third book in the Game of Thrones series now, and I just read Killing Pablo. I read a couple James Patterson books. We usually watch a couple bootleg DVDs every morning, too. Today I saw “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “Final Destination 5.”

MD: Well, that’s about all I have for you now before I need to ask you questions for your next MD column, so is there anything you want to say?

VM: Yes, thanks to all my fans and friends for standing by me throughout this. I appreciate all the letters and they help me fill my long days here, so please keep them coming!

Interview mit Ron Harris von MD:

MD: Thanks for calling and I won't keep you long. I know you have a lot of catching up to do. How confident were you that you would be allowed to stay in the US? Steve told me this particular judge deports 80 percent of the cases he sees?

VM: 84 percent. Yeah, it was tricky and I was pretty worried. They were looking for reasons to deport me all along.

MD: So what do you think made the judge decide to let you stay?

VM: It was a few things, I think. I've been in the USA since I was four years old, I have four kids here, and probably most important of all - I've paid a lot of fucking taxes to Uncle Sam, and that's all on record with the IRS. So maybe he sees me as contributing to the country that way.

MD: This all happened at the Federal Building in New York City. Did you have to go back to Hudson County in New Jersey to get your stuff?

VM: No, I didn't want to go back there, I've seen enough of that place! I didn't have anything back there that was important to me. Before I left for New York I gave it all to a buddy of mine in there, my books and magazines.

MD: What was your first meal as a free man, and your second?

VM: The first thing I ate was a whole barbecue chicken with rice, and it was delicious. After that my brother took me to an Argentine steakhouse and I got a 24-ounce churrasco steak.

MD: So, are you starving now that you have access to good food again?

VM: Not really, because I haven't been training. If I don't train, I don't have much of an appetite. Once I'm back into hard training every day again, it will be a different story.

MD: Have you seen your kids yet?

VM: I saw my two girls, and I'll see my sons next week.

MD: You must be dying to train again. When will you have your first workout?

VM: I was thinking about Monday, but now I'm thinking about just going tomorrow. I need to find a yoga club or a fitness place so I can blend in!

MD: Okay, let me stop you right there. Haters have been saying you must not be about 170 pounds now. I am guessing you're nothing less than 200. What do you weigh?

VM: I'm 220. I haven't been 170 pounds since I won the Elmo's Gym contest when I was 19. I was actually 165, I started my diet at 170. Whatever, if the haters want to think I weigh 120 pounds, let them. They're the last thing on my mind now.

MD: So 220 and lean, not a bad starting point at all.

VM: Yeah, I could probably do the 212 Olympia in a few months.

MD: But seriously, you're not going to train at any of your usual gyms for a while?

VM: I think I'll stick to the Equinox Club and 19th Street Gym for at least a couple weeks just to do some full-body circuits and start getting things back to normal. It will probably take me about a month to get back up to speed and start doing one bodypart a day again.

MD: Okay, I know you have a lot going on now, so what would you like to say?

VM: I want to thank Steve Blechman and MD, Gerard Dente, all my family and friends, especially Jonathan, Dennis James, and Abby, and anyone who helped me stay positive through the last seven months. Anybody who was there for me or even who just supported and believed in me even if I never met you, I appreciate it. This was just a small chapter in my life. It happened, and it's part of what makes me me. I wouldn't change a thing. To the negative people who doubted me, have always doubted me, and will continue to doubt me, you don't know a damn thing about true warriors. We don't give up.

"I'm doing the Olympia!"

Victor Martinez makes a surprising announcement
Exclusive Muscular Development interview by Ron Harris


Nobody thought he would actually do it. Victor Martinez had been dropping hints and saying he was taking things week by week as far as his decision to compete in this year's Mr. Olympia contest, but it seemed highly unlikely. The man had been locked up for seven months without access to decent food, weights, or any supplements. He dropped down to 220 pounds, the lightest he had been since he was a teenager. Meanwhile, the other top contenders for the O like Phil, Kai, Branch, Wolf, and Evan were putting away mountains of steaks, chicken breasts, and blasting away at the weights. Phil and Kai took the whole year off competing and used all that time and more to build even more insane, dense muscle mass. Branch, Wolf, and Evan all managed to squeeze in an off-season and a diet for the Arnold, then another brief off-season before launching into Olympia prep. Victor is in a completely different situation from any other man entering this year's big show.

Today, at 15 1/2 weeks out from the Mr. Olympia, he is still re-gaining the muscle that he lost while in jail until April 27 of this year. Every other man is coming down from his off-season bodyweight, while Victor is still gaining. It's crazy, but that's how the old-school men like Arnold did it almost 40 years ago. But beating the odds is kind of Victor's thing, isn't it? The day it was announced that he was throwing his hat in the ring for the 2012 Mr. Olympia, I had to get him on the line and find out how this decision was made and why.

MD: Victor, exactly when did you decide you would go for it, and what were the main factors that influenced your decision?

VM: The decision was more like a process that's been going on in my head almost from the day I got out at the end of April. What it really came down to was that I just wouldn't feel right skipping the Olympia even if the odds are against me. I've never let that stop me from doing anything before and I didn't want to start now.

MD: Just so people know, when was the deadline for qualified competitors to sign the Olympia contract?

VM: It was a couple weeks ago and I won't lie - I was reluctant to sign it and make that commitment. My main concern isn't gaining the muscle back in time, it's the quality of the muscle. You got Phil, Kai, Branch, Wolf; these are all tough competitors and I don't underestimate them or what they're going to bring.

MD: What is your current weight and how lean are you? Are you still putting size on, and do you feel like due to the extended break you had, you might actually be making new gains in mass over the next few weeks?

VM: I'm 262, so that means I've put on 42 pounds in the seven weeks since I got out. Do the math! Six pounds of muscle a week on average. Can I get bigger than ever before? I don't know. If I wasn't going to be dieting hard for the Olympia I think that would be possible. But for me to say I'm going to be in condition and bigger than ever before, especially under the circumstances - no, I wouldn't make some crazy prediction like that.

MD: The old-school guys like Arnold used to stay lighter in the off-season and 'eat up' to shows, gaining weight over the prep and getting leaner. Most guys obviously get as huge and heavy as possible these days and then diet down. You would be the first pro I know since Levrone retired to even attempt the old-school way. Have you talked to Kevin at all, or anyone about this? It has to be your first time prepping this way, right?

VM: I haven't talked to anyone. It's all trial and error. But I'm feeling great and I have more energy than I've had in a long time too. I'm really not dieting exactly. I'm eating clean and gaining.

MD: Do you think you'll keep gaining for a few more weeks? Like maybe, until you are 8-10 weeks out?

VM: Sure, it's possible. I need to keep gaining, because I look in the mirror and I still don't see the thickness and fullness in the muscles that I want yet, never mind the detail and quality. I have my work cut out for me these next 15 weeks for sure.

MD: Are you worried about what it would do to your reputation if you placed any lower than last year, which was fourth? Or do you feel like no one even expects you to do that well anyway, given the circumstances?

VM: I would never have signed that contract if I didn't think I was capable of doing at least as good as I did last year if not better. But like you said, I know a lot of people will be writing off my chances this time and that's cool. I love proving people wrong. It's fun for me.

MD: I assume you will also be returning to Madrid to defend your Arnold Classic Europe title. Will you also be going to India again for the Sheru Classic?

VM: Not sure about that. It's a really long trip there and back and it's in between the Olympia and the Arnold Europe. I did it last year, but it was tough. We'll see, but right now the only two shows I am planning on are the Olympia and the Arnold Europe.

MD: You've never prepared for a show after having so much complete rest before. How do you feel mentally and physically now at just over 15 weeks out as compared to how you would normally feel?

VM: I do feel good like I said, but I'm still playing catch-up. Normally right now I would be about 275. But I would also be starting to diet too. This is a totally different scenario than I've ever tried before and I'm really just taking it one day at a time, training my ass off and eating a lot of good food. Stay tuned!

VIC IS OUT!

Posted on RX

"IFBB Pro Victor Martinez has been out of lock up for a little more than 3 months and has already gained back a tremendous amount of size. I saw him this past weekend at the IFBB PBW Tampa Pro show and, by the looks of him, you’d never know he recently spent the better part of 2012 behind bars. However, with the 2012 Mr. Olympia only 7 weeks away, it still doesn't look as if Victor should be putting his physique on the line by competing in the O. Last year, Victor took 4th place at the 2011 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas. Over the last six years, Victor has placed in the top six 5 times. Even more remarkable, Victor has never placed out of the top 10 at the Olympia. I am mentioning these statistics to demonstrate the level of excellence that Victor has to live up to. Victor said that one of the main reasons he was at the Tampa Pro show was to “see my fellow competitors”, and see if he’s close enough to do damage at the Olympia.

At the Tampa Pro, Victor came by and said hi to Darielle and myself and, as good as Victor is already looking, I assumed he wasn’t competing in the Olympia. I asked him if he was planning on waiting until the Arnold in 2013 and he said it looks that way. I honestly didn’t think that much of Victor’s answer till I saw his video interview with Dan Solomon in which Victor alluded to not competing but was still non-committal.

I think Victor’s decision to hold off on competing in 2012 is a smart one. Even though Victor has fought through some amazing obstacles, anything less than a top 6 finish would be a tremendous disappointment. As he states in his interview with Dan, “I have gained back the 50 pounds that I lost, but the weight I gained back isn’t the same quality.” I think that with another 6 months of solidifying those gains, and we might just see the best Victor Martinez ever!

Victor Martinez bricht sich Arm
Pechsträhne hält weiter an (http://www.bodybuilding-magazin.de/bodybuilding-artikel/victor-martinez-bricht-sich-arm/4064.htm)

[Schmali]

Ist das bitter :S

[DerZukunftsBody]

Oh man.. deshalb mache ich auch mit keinem mehr Armdrücken..

[Exterminator]

Der hätte sich mal hier im Forum anmelden sollen. Hier gibt es genug Berichte über Leute, die sich beim Armdrücken verletzt haben.

[szhantel]

Victor wurde gestern in Los Angeles im UCLA Hospital operiert, der Eingriff dauerte ca. drei Stunden. Angeblich handelte es sich um eine Spiralfraktur des Humerusknochens im rechten Oberarm. Die Fraktur wurde mit Metallplatten fixiert, Victor muss nun mindestens sechs Wochen am ganzen Arm einen Gipsverband tragen, der den Unterarm und Oberarm im Winkel von 90 Grad fixiert. Morgen früh soll er bereits entlassen werden.

[Whatsuup]

Der arme kerl :(
Im Artikel wird gegen Ende hin geschrieben, dass es geplant sein könnte damit das ganze noch "echter" rüberkommt, wobei martinez davon nichts wussze. Bin grad mim Handy und kann dad jetzt nicht so schnell finden. Also ich habe es so verstanden..ist doch Krank sowas-.-

[szhantel]

Der Artikel auf Body Xtreme? Laut Jon Delarosa, seinem besten Freund, der bei der Nummer auch zugegen war, ist die Story mit dem Fotoshooting Unsinn. Es ist, wie von mir von Anfang an richtig geschrieben, mit einem Fan auf einer Expo passiert. Der hatte ihn um ein Foto in Armwrestling-Pose gebeten und dann unverhofft Ernst gemacht.

ja genau den auf Body Xtreme. Wenn das stimmen würde dann wäre das echt krank. Wie auch es passiert ist..es ist scheiße für ihn. Hoffentlich erholt er sich schnell und bleibt noch die letzten Jahre Verletzungsfrei

[legendkiller]

omg, das ist echt bitter. Harte Disziplin über Jahre verteilt. Jetz dann MR.O und dann sowas :(

[DerZukunftsBody]

Mr. O hätte er ja sowieso nicht mitgemacht oder? Aber generell bitter, wenn man wieder gut aufgebaut hat nach der Haft und jetzt wieder gestoppt wird.. Erinnert mich an mich selbst, nur dass ich nicht in Haft saß. :D

[der_pumper]

Warum war er in Haft?
