Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: an123 on April 04, 2006, 11:26:50 AM: No offense, but an event called "health kick" should never EVER have a professional bodybuilder in attendance.
Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Blockhead on April 04, 2006, 11:44:40 AM: I feel you on that one...health and bodybuilding should never ever be in the same sentence or even paragraph.

'HealthKick' is the name of a popular private supp. shop everyone around here in the BB circles of Chicago go to...the owner...Orlando is a really good guy.

Post by: Blockhead on April 04, 2006, 04:40:57 PM: No problem, John...

Saw you at the show Saturday night...didnt have time to stop and say 'hello' was being pulled in different directions...

Saw you talking to Pride guys...I competed in that show...
Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Natural_O on April 04, 2006, 10:28:12 PM: Pride was one of the sponsors for my new DVD so I was giving them a copy. How did you do in the show? I only went to the pre-judging.

Post by: HBK on April 05, 2006, 12:38:41 AM: Thanks for the heads-up. Health Kick is actually a good store with a good selection. It's got a tons of posters and photos of bodybuilding/fitness all over the place. I'll be there for sure to meet big Vic.

Post by: Blockhead on April 05, 2006, 10:53:36 AM: Cool, John...I have to check it out. I didnt know you had a dvd out...

I placed in the middle of the pack. I was in heavyweight class...took 7 out of 13. I came in at 219 Saturday morning...I need to get down to the 208-212 range to be more competitive. It was a great learning expierence and I am looking forward to my next outing to improve.

Yea, HBK...'HealthKick' is a great shop. Orlando is a friend of mine. See you there...

That's cool. If I can make it out there to meet with Vic will he have enough "supplements" to go around? What I'm saying is: what's up with the hookup, a brother in need is a brother indeed?

Wow, Vic looks pretty good in that pic...don't know why some people get all that "he's ruined his physique completely" BS attitude toward him...

Block, what's your thoughts about Vic?
Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Blockhead on April 05, 2006, 04:22:00 PM: FitChic,

My thoughts on Victor? He's one hell of a competitor. Awesome physique who's only going to get better.

I can't judge him and say he's a scumbag...he's this he's that. Know what Victor is? He is a competitive BODYBUILDER. PEROID. There isnt one competitive bodybuilder breathing right now who doesnt or never have had to nickle/dime and hustle/flow.

We do what we have to do. It isnt like he has an annual salary being an IFBB Pro...and to compete at his level it is only natural(no pun intended) to have a means for supplemental(no pun again) income. Competing is expensive...living the BB lifestyle is expensive. Victor does or has done NOTHING that 99% of other competitive BB's do. NOBODY reading this or on this board have any right to cast stones at him...nobody is perfect. We ALL fall short of the glory...know what I'm sayin?
Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: jaejonna on April 05, 2006, 05:22:13 PM: TheBlockHead.. your just another Psuedo pro who if you had any balls left .. which you prob dont... you would post your real name ... i believe what you say is true but what your like a scared ass bitch who is afraid that Victor will mash your face in ??

a truer post has never been posted.................. ..
Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Blockhead on April 05, 2006, 05:38:03 PM: No...I'm no pseudo-pro. Hahaha...not even close. Just a friend of the owner of the shop where Vic is comming for a MHP promotion.

I compete in the NPC but only local shows in Illinois. I'll never be pro...not even like that. I'm stating the truth, though. I never met Victor once in my life. The only interest I have in him is an 8x10 autograph signed to my gym on the southside/Chicago so I can hang it up for decoration.

Chill brother...aint even that kind of party. FitChic asked what I thought of him and I explained. People have alot of poor views of Victor and I just told her...whatever his reputation is...nobody can say a damn thing! You cant argue that one.
Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Blockhead on April 05, 2006, 05:40:16 PM: Hey Mike...thanks brother!

I had my buddy check your website out earlier...laughed his ass off! I understand your humor...rock on, man!

Nobody's perfect. I think people in general should judge athletes for what they do professionally first and foremost. A doctor who cheats on his wife wouldn't be judged to be a bad doctor right? Vic's got a great physique in my opinion, as do a ton of other people. I'm pretty excited to meet him actually, as the only other pros I've met are Art Atwood and Rod Ketchins. Atwood was undoubtedly the most muscular guy I've ever seen in my entire life.

Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Blockhead on April 06, 2006, 11:32:37 AM: Thats right HBK...

How many doctors, politicians etc...have multiple mistress'? How many cops, fireman I know of are big time coke freeks...beat the shit out of their wives and cheat on them...half of them I know. How many presidents have this country had that had skeletons in their closets? We ALL do...we all got dirt. ALL our shit stinks! We all got demons...

Victor Martinez is just a bodybuilder. Just a professional competition bodybuilder. Nothing more nothing less. He shouldnt be held to a higher standard. Sure he stepped in shit before...he got a skeleton in his closet or two...but so does every person reading this post.

See you at 'HealthKick' the 22nd or 23rd, HBK. Orlando is a good guy...go there now he has boxes of MHP shirts and 'Powered by: HealthKick' shirts he's giving out...

Title: Re: Victor Martinez to be in Chicago...
Post by: Blockhead on April 06, 2006, 04:13:24 PM: Thanks, JBN...

I never heard of FITRX...is that a gym or shop?

Dexter was just here last weekend in Ottawa, Illinois. There's always a good turnout at Jr. Nationals in Rosemont in June...

Keep us posted!
