I think you are all fuckin blind. When the dude comes in dialed he looks amazing. great everything. very symmetrical and some great size. One of the best backs in the game right now. Vic is not hype... hes a prominant figure in the sport and he will continue to be a major threat to the throne.

Yup.

That and the mushy look to his muscles. Obviously on monster doses of GH and roids. He needs to get grainy.

Everyone raves about Martinez and I really WANT to like him and see what everyone else sees but there is something just odd about his look.  I can't pin it down.  His arms look strangely long when he does a front and back double bi and his legs looks too short.  Like I said I can't pin point what puts me off him and it bugs the hell out of me.

His abs always seem washed out lately too.  When you see the vid of him posing at the 06 O his abs are barely visable in some poses and its off putting.

He needs to focus on getting hard as nails.  It may just never happen for him though.

Vic is very very wide.

He dwarfs Dex.

If he ever nails conditioning, the title is his for a bit.  He's only 31, right?

He not one of my fav physiques but realistically he has a great chance to become the next Mr. O if he does his shit right, he has all the tools. His conditioning has been fairly good compared to past years and I only see him getting better with time. It took me a while but I am now a fan and want to see him do well, I guess after the ASC this year (the first live BBing broadcast I have ever watched) I started to see him as a real contender.

Challenge

Three years ago, access to affordable condoms for vulnerable populations was scarce in the Dominican Republic, a country in which prostitution is widespread and brothels can be found throughout the country. Studies estimate that there are between 70,000 and 130,000 sex workers in the Dominican Republic. This constitutes a population at high risk of infection as noted in its significantly higher HIV/AIDS prevalence rates (4-13% depending on the province).  Providing education and access to protection for this and other vulnerable populations was needed to counter the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS.

 

Initiatives 

The USAID Mission in the Dominican Republic worked with grantee Population Services International (PSI) to develop a national targeted condom social marketing program to ensure access to low-price, good quality condoms for commercial sex workers and their clients.  The program complemented existing behavior change communication activities already implemented by several local Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs).  With a limited budget and a goal of distributing one million PANTE brand condoms in the first six months, PSI conducted an assessment of sales outlets serving vulnerable populations, such as commercial sex workers and their clients. The assessment included a review of existing local NGO infrastructure and ability to facilitate access to condoms through peer educators, community-based health promoters and in some cases, existing sales forces.


Results

Today, all PANTE condoms (an average of one million per month) are sold through local NGO partners. These partners report their sales back to PSI, ensuring that the condoms are reaching the target population. PSI’s training sessions with NGO staff strengthens their capacity to implement social marketing programs.

This program also provides an alternative to sex work. Commercial sex workers are hired and paid competitive wages to pack the condoms. This enabled many of them to leave sex work, as they earned enough money to invest in small business (sewing machine, utensils for a food stand) and have a “respectable” reference to use when applying for jobs in the formal sector. Additionally, many former sex workers now work as peer educators and sales agents. The German Development Bank, KfW, has also entered into a partnership with PSI and will assume support of this program as USAID/DR assistance phases out.
