Victor Martinez interview 10 days after release from incarceration

Upon returning from his triumphant win of the European Arnold Classic in Spain last September, Victor Martinez was detained by immigration for a review of some legal problems from his past.

In this interview, mere days after his release, Victor discusses his seven month ordeal, thanks the fans who kept his spirits up and talks about his plans for the future and his excitement about getting back into the gym.

Victor, you lived harder than most bodybuilders. God bless

[tbee]

I hate seeing Victor Martinez like this. After what he endured for 7 months it's just a breath of fresh air to see him so happy and ready to take the world by storm.

[cruisecontrol]

Victor is a mentally strong dude. That is the most important thing in any man's arsenal.

[albinomoose]

My question is how did he go from doing every injectable under the sun to zero gear, and not turn to a mushy puddle of flesh and bone? Dude has crazy genetics

[michaelmodaffari]

Dude his voice got so much softer after being clean from gear lol there is a distinct difference in the tone and pitch in his voice

[cashmore]

love him. fantastic! can't wait to see him back on stage

[LevyBetancourt]

Thank you for the motivation Victor can’t wait to see your comeback.

[bandit]

He wasn't in prison. He was in a detaining center at the deportation facility from what I understand. And from what I've heard and read there was no gym in there. Also a convict coming out jacked is no where near what an Olympia contestant looks like. Actually Victor was probably bigger than those guys coming out. Just compared to his old self he was small.

[Dj_rueboi]

Victor is awesome. He wasn't that small coming out. He was still jacked just not top 15 in the world jacked.

[lloydd]

cant believe they made him advertise a product in this

[torudro]

Keep in mind this was RIGHT after a competition - and he was restricted with such low calories. That and gear levels dropping to 0 with no PCT is extremely brutal mentally BY ITSELF, let alone being in a jail with no weights.

[taitlawrence]

Victor is one of my fvourite athletes of all time, what would be amazing would be to see some sort of periodic video journal of him from now till he gets back on the stage, like what Zack Khan did for Nutrex with his Road to Recovery blogs

[jeremygfoots]

Being controlled without a controlled substance..

[ClaudioVillas]

parabéns victor muita sorte a voce . grande guerreiro . great guy . great warrior. congratulations here in brazil we like you. 

[dscheller]

 there is no they only gave inmates 800 calories a day. They would lose massive amounts of weight.  He also says he ate 200-300 grams of carbs per day. That would be 800 to 1200 calories per day just in carbs.  I don't think there is a food that would provide you 800 calories while only giving you 15 grams of protein.

[dantron]

Yeah. Must have been the lack of "calories".

[derreckataylor]

I'm glad he's out. It's sad he lost his restaurant, is he gonna open another one?

[MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ]

fans=friends I haven't met like that

[patrickmurphy]

was he doing 8000 kcal a day pre copntest ?!? he was arrested just after returning from the show...

Victor has had to overcome more than this his sister, ruptured quad, torn bi, now this!
