Victor has 4 months to get ready.

[Line]

I've stressed this before, and recently for that matter. Unless he re-injures himself he was absolutely no reason to skip the Olympia. He's making the right move, regardless of how he places.

 

[nr.1]

he is not going to be 100%... he should pass that Olympia

 

[lifterdead]

If Dorian can win the Olympia looking like a car crash, Vic can compete after an injury.

 

[Braaq]

Levrone got ready like this for years and still placed well or won contests, so I do not see Vic being any different. I am looking forward to how he looks and hope he does well for sure.

Why?

ya but levrone is a MAJOR exception to that rule. seriously has anyone else ever accomplished what he did in such a short amount of time? and done so on a yearly basis?


if Vic's motivation for doing the O is monetary, then he should do it because he likely will place top 5. if his main motivation is flat out winning the show, he should wait because i highly doubt he will be able to duplicate the showing he had last year. even with that spot on physique he still lost to a laughable cutler. i doubt jay will come in like that again making it next to impossible for victor to pull out the W.

GH will help
anyway, time off would be helpful..well this is BBing..
always the competitors choice.

so true. Victor will do well, he knows what he's doing so let's wait and see ... go Vic

 

[mvsf1]

Point being?

Point is that he doesn't need to take lots of shit only to compete this year. He can take it easy and try in 2009 without fucking up his health.


PD: HGH in high doses causes Palumbism in your face

Of course, but the point IMO is that he COULD re-injure himself speeding up his return to the stage.

 

[Pioneer]

Hey should really take the year off and then complete in AC next year as his first tournament back.

 

[PrizeFighteR]

I don't know, would have to take a look at the leg. I can't believe how fast this year is going by and that there is only 4 months left till the O

 

[Line]

Other than a possible reinjury can someone state why he should take time off? I keep hearing that he won't be ready and I'd really like to rip into someone as to why they're wrong.

^^^i'll give it a shot line.

He's going to take loads of shit anyways, I doubt much more, if any, than normal.

Though it's also a sport of momentum and competing so quickly after an injury shows judges and fans that he still has a very enthusiastic commitment to furthering himself in the sport. While I enjoy the idea of the idiom, "You're only as good as your last show," I find that situations such as this call for a bit of an amendment to it. Deep down I'm sure Vic would love to win but when it comes to satisfying his sponsors' needs as well as retaining a competitive niche amongst the fans, competing is clearly his best decision.

And that isn't enough for you? Come on, he can ruin the rest of his career if he reinjuries again his leg.

This isn't about me, is it?

 

[mvsf1]

This isn't about me, is it?

Yeah, of course, no it's not, but I was asking "what would you do if you were Vic?"

I'm just saying, it's really hard to put myself in that position because he's already done loads of shit that I wouldn't have done.
