victor martinez just does not get hard nor dry enough to legitimately win elite level IFBB shows. you need more than just great shape to win. i think his 2nd place was more than gracious with guys like branch and toney being far more conditioned and just as big. even rockel wipes the floor with his conditioning, look at how dry and utterly lean he is. vic just looks really full.

vic needs to stop trying to come in so full and come in in shape. there's no way he beats guys like dexter or phil in the O. these guys have just as good shape and are FAR more conditioned.

lolz

i don't know why it doesn't get pointed out more often. it's like how no one brings up that for how great a poser melvin anthony is, he does the same shit every time. if you compare vic to someone like heath, who will have just as much size as victor come this O, it's not even close. he's so much drier and shredded than martinez, who just always comes in too full. if he doesn't shape up this O should hands down go to someone like a heath, dexter, or wolf, guys who are just as big with just as good shape, who come in much more conditioned.

I agree with Duality. Vic needs to come drier. From that pics it would not be crazy putting him in the third place.
