The Mr. Olympia is just a few weeks away now, and this one is going to be a real nail-biter. Ronnie has been toppled from his throne at last and the long-suffering Jay Cutler now wears the crown as king of our sport. But as Shakespeare wrote in Henry IV, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” A furious Ronnie is coming back with vengeance on his mind to get his title back. And then there’s Victor Martinez. For several years, big Vic was always talked about in terms of potential and how great he could be once he eliminated various distractions in his personal life and dedicated himself to being the best bodybuilder he is capable of. Conditioning was often his Achilles heel, as well. But those days are in the past. Last fall, Martinez displayed a killer package of size, shape and definition and stormed all the way to third place behind Jay and Ronnie. More than a few people commented that had Victor’s more aesthetically pleasing physique trumped them both, few would have argued the decision. This spring, he nabbed the Arnold Classic title by defeating defending two-time champ Dexter Jackson. Clearly Victor is in a very nice place right now heading into his fourth Mr. O contest.

 You hear it all the time: “This show is going to be the greatest ever!”
Year after year, it never fails. That’s what they said last year, and I
have to admit, they must have been psychic. Last year’s show was a
genuine thriller. Jay Cutler did the impossible and beat a Mr. Olympia
gunning for a record-breaking ninth title. That milestone victory did
more than prove that yes, a repeat champ— an eight-time repeat champ,
no less— could be taken out in the midst of his reign. It hadn’t been
done since Arnold ended the great Sergio Oliva’s Olympia reign at three
back in 1970 (I’m not counting Haney beating Samir in ‘84, as the
latter wasn’t even close).
