What's taking so long for VICTOR MARTINEZ to snap back?

Ever notice the similarities of Victor and Daya from Orange is the New Black

Would love to see a come back, just knowing someone can age and still come in lean and dry and looking amazing is motivation in itself. I think that age is deff a huge factor though. At some point you gotta throw in the towel at that level.

Thebigone,

Think it is just being Dominican. Vin Diesel is half and has the same face shape too.

Victor always goes out of his way to help others, he is the coolest dude to talk to at shows and seminars and remembers everyone. If anything, not being selfish enough is what cost him focus and career.

The thing about 2007 is that is was over 11 year ago.


Time. Not everyone is dexter Jackson.

Unfortunately you are correct. Time stops for no one and Victors moment has passed. He should have a Sandow but was clearly robbed.

He will never regain his 2007 appearance...and I am sure he knows that. I'm just being realistic. He's too old. The body just doesn't look the same at that age compared to 34, which is what we was at the 07' Olympia.

Doesn't he have children who have special needs?



Also broke his arm clean through, and spent time in jail



For someone who wanted to be hugely successful in bodybuilding, he hasn't made it easy on himself

I think his sister was killed also or someone close to him like that

Victor's had a tough life

Went to jail over some immigration issue
Family member murdered
Lots of family problems

He's done real well given his circumstances.

But unfortunately even the elite aren't immortal, father time catches up. He'll never regain his 07 form, he knows that too I bet.

Time is the only absolute thing in life; both a blessing and a curse unfortunately

To sum (most) of it up in one post:

• Sister violently murdered
• Multiple jail stints
• Multiple children with different women
• Some of his children are autistic
• Torn patella tendon, broken arm, etc. - and no insurance to help cover costs

He's had a good career given the things he's faced - many wouldn't come back from one of those things, much less a litany of them happening over the years.
