You're ignoring some key issues here, most fiscally related. Bodybuilders do not have health insurance and therefore Victor is dependent upon the money he makes from his sponsors and shows to, not only pay for the knee operation, but for any other post-op treatment he receives. Yes, in a business such as this one many things go on the way of favors but in order to regain said contacts he needs to keep competing. There shouldn't be this delusional fascination on winning titles when, in the long run, there's much larger issues at stake.But I dont see the point in stressing his recovery just so he can compete at this years Olympia when he can come back to the Arnold better then ever and make a good push for the titel there instead.
Size is not a problem, especially from a proportionality standpoint. Leg separation, aside from some slight changes due to conditioning and possible influences regarding the all-to-debated "muscle maturity" factor, will not improve regardless of what he does. Nonetheless, his sweep is just fine and, as is the case for all of his muscle bellies, they'll remain rounded and full looking; it's his genetic disposition.Daniel Andersson said:If its like he says that his legs are smaller that would be really bad for him, because as I said before his legs aren't that good even at 100%, (Not saying that they are bad though) But they lack seperation in the quads and the same kind of sweep others have.
That being said, there's a condition that's been studied, though to my knowledge not published with explicable findings, regarding trained athletes gaining any loss in hypertrophy and strength back far more rapidly than newer athletes. Of course, the years of training that Victor has put in to get where he is, in conjunction with the fact that atrophied muscle grows faster as is when reintroduced to even common, everyday tasks makes him a prime candidate for faster growth. I'm sure other "outside" influences will help as well.
Huh? You're naming guys who either haven't beaten Victor ever or haven't bested him in years and you're saying they'll automatically push him out of contention? Not buying it.Daniel Andersson said:And lets face it. Cutler wont lose this year unless he doesn't show up. Dennis Wolf will be top 3, Phil Heath will be in the top 5 atleast, Dexter will be 2nd or 3rd as always, Melvin is a top 5 competitor IMO. That will leave Victor at 5th - 6th place if his legs are decent.
