Have you ever heard the saying,”If he didn’t have bad luck, he’d have no luck at all.”? It seems like that saying was specifically written for IFBB Pro Victor Martinez. Today, I was able to confirm that the former Arnold Classic Champion was seriously injured during a photo shoot in Mexico.
Multiple reliable sources have told me that Victor was in the middle of a "make-believe" arm wrestling match when his opponent thought it would be humorous to spontaneously slam Victor’s arm down; winning the match. That slam resulted in three serious breaks in Victor’s arm.
I won’t detail all of Victor’s previous misfortunes, but many of the people I have talked to think that this may be the final straw on Vic’s bodybuilding career. Personally, I doubt that. We just watched Victor transform from a skinny prisoner to a 270lb monster within a matter of weeks... And we saw Branch Warren go from a torn quad to the Arnold Classic Champion in a matter of months. I’m betting Victor overcomes adversity AGAIN, and we see him back on stage in 2013.

ninjas wanting their money

These guys find some comical ways of getting hurt.
-
Arm wrestling injury = I really cant afford gear to compete so I am just going to make up a story.
-
Brittle bones of peace, or pieces? :D
-
lol at the design of RX muscle, no background color for text ::) uhmmm stupid... who fucking designs these pages?
-
That's really fucked up, if true. Can 1MR confirm this?
-
how can you call yourself an athlete, if one time arm-wrestling broke three parts of your arm?
-

Dave Palumbo? :-\ :D

advice to bodybuilders. do not armwrestle armwrestlers....
-
-
Did he armwrestle Chuck Norris?
-
NO WAY HE IS READY FOR THE ARNOLD! Not happening. If i was Victor, I would not leave NY. Just eat, sleep and train. MHP and MD are paying him well. Stay home and train
-
Yes, I'm sure that's what it was. He flew all the way to Mexico to arm-wrestle people at a tradeshow.
Forgive me, but is he even allowed to leave the country? Let's say he is...
Anyone buying the cover story?
Sure it's not a few shylocks ensuring Vic makes good a few benjamins he owes to a higher up?
-
Did he armwrestle Chuck Norris?
Exactly my thoughts.
-
hoping it was branch instead of vicky
-
It was a photo shoot, so there are pics and videos from the incident.....
I doubt they will let that "go viral' online...the worst publicity for pro bb and supps. :'( :'(
-

Agree, this dude has the worst luck or karma
-
::)
-
Bbers always get injured in the weirdest ways. broken arm during a photo shoot.
-
Absolute bullshit.
Who goes all out for a photo shoot?
I bet Jean Pierre Foox was Vic's motivational coach.

Fux, Orville Burke. Chris Lund was notorious for "real" shots.
-
That should be an easy law suit to win lol.
-
Apparently Vic was at a convention in Mexico, and someone wanted to take a pic with him looking like they armwrestled. The rest as they say is history...

::) MHP is probably paying him $10K annually plus free BCAA to use on his drive way when it snows.

arm wrestling, ninjas, luggage hitting eye, slipped on a banana peel.....
I love this time of year... lol
-
Unbelieveable. How do you break your arm from arm wrestling? I think it's bullshit. Vic obviously wants a way out of doing the Mr O.
-

it's Mexico , so no
-
it's Mexico , so no
I just can't get over the fact that Vic would leave the Country after spending 7 months in jail?

Are your saying Vic has sponsors in Mexico?

Really. Really???? ::)

Obviously Vic needs to go to the gym, train and then go home again. He should not be lifting furniture, playing arm wrestling with girly men and doing any other other activities. He's so fragile.
-
;D hahaha Falling luggage? Help me out.
vince taylor?
-
vince taylor?
hahaha. Got it.
" . . . He said a tag on his luggage caught him in the eye and tore it when he was taking said luggage down from overhead. Then, the tear got infected.
That's what he said, anyway... "
-

Looks that way.
I just heard from Jon D who was with him and he confirmed that a fan wanted to take a pic with Vic at the arm wrestling table pretending like they were arm wrestling. When Vic was relaxed the guy placed all his weight on VIc arm causing it to go in a direction it wasn't suppose to. They should have beat that guys ass.

Vic should just be in a bubble---and be monitored 24/7
Or someone must have put a root on him (a curse)..
-
This guy obviously got some fucked up karma... Whats next? :-\

bring in the jews

actually it's quite common. It puts a huge torque on the humerus bone.
-
They should have got some photos. Since it was a photo shoot.
-
The extent some of these guys go through for making excuses on why they're pulling out of the Olympia. Usually its the ol "I got sick" or "family emergency" BS when they screw up their prep but no Vic took it to another level and broke his arm.
-

You know what's interesting:
He told Dave Palumbo(rx muscle interview last year) that the gym bag strap got his eye in the overhead compartment on the plane.
But, in a 1992 interview, he said that the gym bag hit him while on the bus.
???hmmm

You are not seriously that stupid are you? My friend ifbb pro, not going to say who, but he is an absolutely no name pro and he gets 35 grand a year, I have seen his papers so WTF are you talking about?
Everyone knows bodybuilders get paid peanuts but we are talking an Arnold champ and an Olympia runner up, any company would pay him a least a thousand a week. Use your brain,
-
imagine if bodybuilder try to cut grass or hammer nail in 2x4 lol
