Title: For those who claim that Victor Martinez got robbed at the 2007 Olympia
Post by: Royalty on July 09, 2022, 05:46:19 PM
I think that Dexter was robbed earlier that year at the 2007 Arnold Classic. Victor won, but Dexter looked better

I was at both. I'd say Victor was definitely robbed in 2007. And if anyone beat him there, I'd say Dennis Wolf did.

That whole top five was out of order.

I don't recall thinking Dexter was robbed at the Arnold. It was close though, but Victor was much bigger. I don't recall anyone saying Dexter was robbed, but maybe I forget.

Based on these pics I'd have to agree with Royalty.

I haven’t been sleeping well lately, and I think it’s because of this.

Once this injustice has been resolved, you’ll be sleeping 10 hours uninterrupted each night.

I’m very upset with both of their calf development, but I’ll give Dex the nod because of #shreddedglutes

Only top level guy I actually met seeing him (at a club in Manhattan)

Seemed like a cool guy to me as he was nothing but friendly, but I only spoke to him for a few minutes.

You never fully healed in the first place. You need closure.

Great thread concept.  Do you have a RDB comparison of the two?  Seems like that's the deciding pose for 20 years now.

Based on the evidence presented I give Dexter Jackson the edge based on aesthetics but Vic isnt that far off and outsizes him

He had great calves back in the day though. Must've torn em or something, so they atrophied and lost all of their volume (Dennis Wolf syndrome)

Is that meant to be a Get out of Jail free card ??

"They're black. Blacks don't have Delts."
"They're black. Blacks don't have Triceps."

Would you accept the above as excuses & Still say they should Win. ?

Vic has short quads so it makes him look top-heavy.  Dex easy win.

Victor was robbed at the ‘07 Olympia. The suspects left the oil but unfortunately stole his calves.

Very true.  Dickerson and Phil Hill also.

But regarding Aaron "Baked" Baker, wasn't he suspected of extensive site enhancement in his calves?  They exploded from the '94 Arnold to the same show a year later.

Apologies for not including a link, but you can see how he looked at those respective shows with a quick YouTube search.  In 1994, I don't think his lower legs were a real weakness, but Arnold said otherwise in his commentary:

Naaaw, yoo kan zee hee-uhr, hee is vweek in de caffs...hees caffs need anudduh scree uhr voor inches on dem do bee win pruhpurshun vid de rist if heem.

Maybe Aaron put dong the dong, err, bong long enough to heed Arnold's advise, score a shit load of Chris Clark magic and or escilene, und brink up dose caffs.

He did something, that's for sure.
