2010 Olympia - Victor Martinez, no drive or Depressed?

[James Blunt]

you way over think this shit.  shit happens he has moved on but it wore him out mentally it looks like, you cannot prevent that dude, saying all this is good and dandy, but he had to deal with a lot of shit and his mind has to be totally blown out.

shut the fuck up.

[BayGBM]

Let's face it Victor has had a rough few yrs, sister being killed, leg injury, and every pic you see him, he looks worn out, tired, if not depressed...I think he should possibly take some time off from bbing, focus on his Muscle Grill business, instead of stressing himself out with competing.

Anybody ever notice what I'm talking about, that weary look he always has on his face? It's not like the Victor of old, the wide grin, and overall expression of "swag".

[chris-a]

hahaha! who is that odd little schmoe who keeps cropping up groping 'athletes' pecs??

[Evo]

I just think Vic is lazy, the guy has some of the best genetics ever to grace a stage.  He knows that at 80% he is still better than nearly every pro on the planet and hes happy with that - typical stoner mentality.

shut the fuck up.

keep preaching your drug induced bullshit, it hurts your mind.

keep preaching your drug induced bullshit, it hurts your mind.

If it is bullshit (probably isn't), at least it is drug induced. Whereas your stupidity/bullshit is natural. Again, shut the fuck up.

Victor looked awesome during the second day at this years Olympia.  If he can duplicate that then he will at least be 2nd to Phil Heath IMO.  He's still got it.

[kawaks]

Wrong.

Victor came in his all time best this year, unfortunately during his recovery years the competition stepped it up, A LOT

Nah, his best 'form' was at the NOC 2002, along with Ruhl. They ushered in a new era of 'look'.

[James Blunt]

Victor was the second coming of jesus for awhile. He's never going to have that about him again.

Much tougher lineup at this years Olympia and still he placed 8th, which is not bad.  Being a top 10 bodybuilder in the world doesn't hurt.

A few people said a few years ago that Victor Martinez could of been the next Mr. Olympia. But yes, tough situations didnt lead him to concentrate 100% on the prize.

2010 Olympia Results - top 10

1. Jay Cutler＄200,000

I wonder if that 200k covers all of Jay's 'medical' expenses for the year....

Eighth is not bad if you're Hide, Toney, Dennis, Ronny, etc., but this is Victor Martinez.  He's put together better than anyone else in the line-up, he should never finish that low.  I'd like to see him go into the Arnold and get his act together.

Victor might as well consider suicide at this rate.

Pretty sad that after taxes, that 17K Victor attained will become an actual 10K or so. 

That taken into consideration, it's kinda pathetic to think that he has to live off of just that for the rest of the year, assuming he doesn't do any other big (Arnold) competitions.

I know for a fact that just the cycles these guys run year round can be pretty expensive, add to that their average cost of living and they are truly living in poverty.  That 10K Victor will walk away with might only cover some of the cycles he runs for the rest of the year.

Some folks will spawn out of nowhere and state that these guys also have lucrative endorsement deals and magazine sponsorships etc., but still it's a pretty sad financial existance considering the harm they potentially render to their bodies.

Maybe I'm wrong..
