Vic gut?

[HSBulker]

I know a lot of people believed that Vic shouldve taken the O. When compared to Jay, I agree. But the thing that bothers me is that he keeps getting included in the 'new era' talk. Sure, he's not as bad as Ronnie or Jay, he has better shape and lines, but he's still got the gut when he's relaxed. If there's one thing that I don't like about this sport, its that bloated gut look. I hear all this talk about Vic's V-taper, but hes only got one when he sucks in and poses! No offense is meant to him at all, he is most definitely a great bodybuilder and he's thick as hell. I just couldn't imagine looking like that all the time unless I flexed. Whats so wrong with Wolf and Melvin that Vic's got? Not many are heralding them as the next Mr. O..

These dudes got to eat tons of food to achieve that mass, add HGH, IGF and aas and you got the formula for Coleman style gut...

 

[HSBulker]

cut back the mass, Arnold is still considered by many to have one of the best physiques of all time, as is Haney. They were massive, but not freakish. When did pleasing physiques go out the window..?


Speaking of which, Arnold still weighed 240..

If they are doing heavy squats and deadlifts that will thicken their waist and distend the gut in addition to maybe GH abuse. Could be a few things.

I think most of the guys over 230lbs have this problem. I think it's from the massive amount of food they eat in conjunction with there insulin use. I don't buy into the gh theory. I love vic, and I think he looks great for a guy his size. Anytime you push the envolope and consume huge amounts of food, I think bloating is bound to happen a little. I think the IFBB would be making a move in the right direction to chose Victor as Mr. O. He physique is more symetrical than the other larger competitors.

Are you joking about the gut? What gut on Victor?

that funny. the pic you posted of vic was of him in a pose, the one of cutler was in transistion.

I have to agree that a lot of it has to do with the sheer volume of food you have to eat to maintain that bodyweight. I know my gut does not distend at all in the morning when I first get up, but as the day goes on and I am eating all day long it begins to do so a bit. It is worst at night after eating all day long and by the morning its back down again.

watch...

u wanna see vics gut watch the collection of DVD's Titans Vol. II, III, IV with vic in it... watch as he poses and relaxes... he has a gut... an so does dex in some instances. Even flex had some gut hangn out in the '99 BFTO. Just cuz these guys have amazing symmetry and structure doesnt make them immune to intestinal/organ growth!

gooey

 

[HSBulker]

It's hard to find pictures of him completely relaxed, and I haven't been able to do so yet..but this thread came from a video we were sent at the company I work for. It's the MHP "In the Trenches" video with Dave Palumbo interviewing him. I understand he's somewhat in off season mode, but if he's still got striations on his quads and great vascularity, it just doesn't seem like it would be fat.

I have never seen it ???? check the whole web cast and tell me where do you see him reaaxed or showing his gut, he doesnt have any distension.

Oh man, he is off season bro!!! what do you want??? even girls in off season has some.

What do you want for a guy that almost weight 280 pounds???? come on guys !!!

 

[Pele96]

I think Dorian Yates had a great physique. He changed the sport alot. Big and incredible conditioning. To date no one has come close to the total package. Just my thoughts

 

[Ashop]

keep in mind these are VERY LARGE men who in the off season are sometimes 300+lbs...the extended gut problem could be from excessive TEST/GH/IGF1/SLIN ,,,overeating many things. I think VIC MARTINEZ looks great and will be champion soon.

 

[BrooklynBB]

Ok, ok everyone relax. Once again I have to explain my point.

BigHeinz - if you read my post, you would see that I am saying that Vic DOES NOT HAVE A GUT at all. That's why I posted his picture. Someone else said he had a gut, and I think that's CRAZY!

Now OBVIOUSLY Mr. Olympia doesn't have a gut either. BUT, compared to Victor, his stomach is larger. Therefore, compared to VICTOR, he has a "gut". Do I really think he has one? Of course not. But to say that Victor had a gut or that Victor has to control his stomach is silly. That's coming from a Jay Cutler fan perspective, not reality.

Does he have one in the OFF SEASON? Sure! Most of the top 10 do! But what matters is what they bring to the stage, not in the off season.

The ultimate point? For someone to post here that Victor had a GUT and that's why he didn't make it to the top of Mr. Olympia is complete bullshit. Cutler was off this year, he admitted it on several interviews before the show and one immediately following, and Victor Martinez was in the contest shape of his life, beating out EVERYONE on that stage, except for the Great White Hype that Wieder and Muscletech have paid to be Mr. O for 3 years - Jay Cutler.

Hope everyone gets the point now...

hey big...

Oh man, he is off season bro!!! what do you want??? even girls in off season has some.

im not insulting vic at all... He was dieting for the GNC i believe in the titans dvd and even there their was a lil bit.... everyone attacks jay and ronnie but I do believe it hits many even dex had some in Titans.. check out the vid... Im not insulting anyone cuz my fat ass has no room to do so.... just sticking up for others who people like to insult and compare them to.
