yo Vic, you always say don’t take gear unless your gonna compete but it’s takes most people years on gear to even stand on stage. can you go over some protocols you did in your up and coming years
If you could pick nine bodybuilders from any era to put on stage together who would you pick for the ultimate competition? Now pick what you feel was your very best package on stage to compete against them what day what show? 2007 Olympia?
Here's a question I got... I take trt, 1ml per week... what's your thoughts on adding .5ml of tren per week to it? I heard it called: "tren at trt doses"
I met Victor when he was judging at the Metropolitan show in fall 2004... He was taking pics with ppl and I didn't want to bother him like Everyone was doing acting like a fanboy.... 'us NYers Don't do that '. Anyway, his crew was ready to leave But Vic noticed me waiting the whole time and told his crew "hold up, this kid has been waiting respectfully the whole time" he called me over and I got some 1 on 1 time with him that None of the impatient others got with him! THANK YOU VIC, I WAS GOING THRU A DIVORCE AND U GAVE ME A GREAT NIGHT TO REFLECT ON🤘💪
How many bodybuilders do you know? That's like saying a doctor you heard speak, or a lawyer you heard speak is the most experienced and educated lawyer or doctor. D... people will say such things. I always laugh when an uneducated d... person rates another man's intellect. Its like, how would you know? The only way for someone to know how smart or educated another person is, would be by you being even more educated. You're listening to a professional bodybuilder give advice to non bodybuilders who are asking him questions for beginners. Who are you comparing him too? Them? If you don't know any of what he just said, then you don't understand basics on life. Lower the iq the easier impressed.
Victor 1st of all you're the best!!! My question is in your opinion why is this generation lacking of mental strength and toughness to overcome problems you're the best example of overcoming every stone is been put on your road and keep smiling and moving forward? Again you're the best blessings!!!
Topic for the podcast…..Thoughts on 1980 Mr Olympia rival between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mike Mentzer 👀 plus comparing both of their training styles pros and cons.
Thank you guys for talking about this. Most bodybuilders just avoid thinking about this topic (The number of likes on this episode shows that pretty clearly) Bodybuilding is an obsession! and it`s not healthy. My best friend dropped dead on the kitchen floor of a heart aneuyirsm caused by abusing steroids. He was 33 years old.
Vic used to train at Elmos Gym in Manhattan,im surprised i never ran into him back in the early 80s.I trained at Elmos when he opened another gym in the Bronx in Parkchester Ave.
My question is concerning dosing. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on micro dosing everyday as opposed to shits every other day or twice a week. Would really like a deep dive into micro dosing. I’ve been doing it for about three months and it’s been less of a roller coaster ride with my hormones due to keeping stable levels. Can we please try to have a good conversation pertaining to micro versus other methods. Thanks guy and keep killing it.
Hey David. Your question was selected by Victor. You won the case of Redcon1 energy. Please send you you shipping info via info@generationiron.com and we will send the prize. Thanks.
@@morenetworth IGF1-LR3 is wut he’s referring to….this compound can lower your blood sugar and which is why they say to have at least 50g of fast acting carbs on hand, & is usually dosed pre workout or post workout…..so he messed up dosing before bed and it depends on the dose as to whether or not it will make u go hypo
I’m 51 years of age and my question is what exercises are good to tighten up my chest ? I noice as I get older it’s harder to keep the man boobs from forming. I workout regularly four times a week, more weight training than anything. Your one of the few bodybuilding podcast I follow and I hear lots of good information here. Thank you for what you do.
I had to fast to lose fat, worked great 36 hours at a time. Fasting kicks in natural hgh and working out kicks in test. Injecting is not generally a good idea
@@charlesterrizzi8311Man boobs comes from High estrogen, which can happen if you are too overweight you can train as much as you want it won't really help until you start losing body fat and then you should work out just on this same time. Over 45 years old you can start trt. If you want to and you don't want to have more kids, but if you are overweight, you will get man boobs very easily and it won't help you to lose fat that much. Lose body fat would be the best idea for losing your man boobs.
Vic: After 40 what are the best supplements to take to maintain muscle mass, boost metabolism, energy and get cut up without killing yourself. Peace fam.
My question for Victor is : If they were to do a remake of Pumping Iron today, who would be the best of today’s bodybuilders to play the Arnold character ? The Lou character? Robby ? Mike Katz ? Serge Nubriet ? Ken waller ? Ed Corney ? Or other important characters . Also how would the coaches be included? Who would be the villain coach and the hero ?
What do you think is a good bench press for the average guy? Average meaning in the gym at least 3-4 times a week? or what is the healthiest lifestyle for a person who doesn't compete but enjoys working out? ty
Any victory over John during that time frame is a large accomplishment. Norton has bragging rights however his overall accomplishments in the sport aren't even close to John's career.
Hi Vic, what you think about taking just a little dosage of test let’s say 250mg per week and add much more other compounds to it, like 500 masterone, 50 Anavar ? In my country it is rather common to have test as high as possible and then much smaller dosages of other steroids. For example: 750 test, 400 masterone, 30 anavar. What is your attitude for that topic. Regards from Poland 😊
Victor Martinez, as a highly accomplished bodybuilder, what advice do you have for aspiring athletes looking to reach their full potential in the sport?
Hey Vic, what is the best percentage of the lifestyle to get best gains? What I mean is, 80 percent working out, 20 percent diet? Or any other method that we are missing?
My question for Victor is: When I train, my body shakes, especially when I contract the muscle. I always get in my pre-workout 40-50 grams of carbohydrate and protein from food plus water too, but still, my body shakes when I train. What could the reason be and how can I fix it? Thanks for everything. 🙏🥇💪
This is *probably* from electrolytic shortages. Are you getting enough sodium, magnesium, potassium and chloride? If you're bigger than normal, you need to take in more than a normal person. You could also be a super salt sweater, which I am. If a tiny bit of sweat in your eyes makes them burn for 15m, you probably are too.
@@monabear7287 I think the latter is true because I just sweat a lot, to the point that my whole shirt is sweaty after I walk for 15 minutes, even though I'm 5'6 and I weight just 176 pounds. And my eyes burn when my sweat goes into my eyes too, but I don't know how to stop my body from shaking when I work out.
I don’t see why competitors just shed water retention with hyper hydration, sodium depletion then cut their water and sodium load like I’ve done about 50 TIMES ! and it works every time even in Florida where it’s humid as hell
Hi victor, my question is when going on a mass steroid cycle is it advisable to use a mass gainer protein product to up calorie intake and sustain mass? yes or no and why? Not a lot of people talk about this since food prices have gone up some guys said they use that instead of a meal .
One question where I could buy drugs here in America since the greats of bodybuilding use it. For example, does anyone know where I could get testosterone online?
Here's a question I got... I take trt, 1ml per week... what's your thoughts on adding .5ml of tren per week to it? I heard it called: "tren at trt doses"
If you’ve never done a cycle, you’ve only been on trt, Tren is the last compound you should be using. There’s half a dozen other compounds that will be better, healthier and much more enjoyable.
Question for an entry. Wondering about telmisartan and using it as a blood pressure modulation tool when on cycle. When I used it on TRT with my BP being 140/84 it ended up lowering my BP too much to where I felt slightly dizzy. This was on the entry level dose of 20mg a day. If I was to try again now that I'm on a cycle (350 test and 250 npp) should I worry about my BP getting too low from the medicine? Checked my BP this am it's up to 143/84 again so I want to dial it in. 20 is entry level dose would 10 actually do anything positive? Thanks guys!
Best thing not to go hypo is coca cola , it gets in you quick... I remember seeing in a video Ronnie Coleman had the 2 liters of coke on top of the fridge 😅
Vic, Did you use any peptides to help heal any damaged or sore muscles, ligaments or tendons? Whether you did or didn't could you suggest the best most bodybuilder's use or used..Thx Vic
here is my Question: was the MIKE MENTZER HEAVY DUTY HIT WORKOUT something that proved to be worth wild to try? Was it a good alternative to conventional training? or best to supplement with conventional training. Thanks!
Pls submit your best questions for Victor here. Vic will be giving away a full case of Redcon1 Energy

The part about İGF lr3
27:31
Not all heros wear capes
I wonder how much he took
Thank you so much
He couldve done the smallest amount but he took it before bed withoit enough carbs dangerous @moneygrip4464
Too bad he's talking about Insulin and not Insulin Like Growth Factor 1
Big respect to victor for standing up for the peoples champion Shawn rhoden 👏🏻👏🏻
Indeed. Victor is the best thing on this Podcast

The coolest too
@@NumberTwo-zg9bk People, in general are very, very, unintelligent. The amount of stupidity on TH-cam is amazing.
IGF-1 is not Insulin. Insulin is what Victor took but mispoke as IGF-1 does not drop blood sugar rapidly like Insulin does.
Victor is a real one. Probly the coolest guy in bodybuilding.
100%
Donny- you should have seen him @ the Sound Factory in the 90s! Bad dude! 🇺🇸💪🏼
He forgot what he had taken, it was insulin not IGF. so this is very misleading lmao
ABSOLUTELY RESPECT Vic’s transparency!!! Pure honesty!!! 👏
We appreciate your honesty and openness Vic!
Much respect Victor, you being my couch is big Dream ❤
Coach* lol sorry
listening to big Victor speak his mind is great! Keep it up guys!!
For sure.
Victor is a genuine guy

Uncrowned 2007 Mr Olympia! We never forget!
Really like this group and this podcast, thank you 😌
Thank you
Victor dropping moral wisdom
I agree with Bodybuilding topic, and all contact here. Lots of people learn to do things fast, before they learn to do things right.

Tren is dangerous! He ran it too long in a too high dosage!

Vic is number 1

Bench press, flys with machine or cable, incline DB or incline smith machine twice a week. At least.
Man boobs are from excess fat. You need to clean up your diet.

“You know!!!” - Vic Mart.
This is a sick endeavor.
My question for Victor is :
If they were to do a remake of Pumping Iron today, who would be the best of today’s bodybuilders to play the
Arnold character ?
The Lou character?
Robby ?
Mike Katz ?
Serge Nubriet ?
Ken waller ?
Ed Corney ?
Or other important characters .
Also how would the coaches be included? Who would be the villain coach and the hero ?
Let’s GO Vic!
Hey Vic big fan from South Africa how do you keep joints healthy after 40???

Can you guys talk about how to best execute a mid shin rack pull? Thanks
Any victory over John during that time frame is a large accomplishment. Norton has bragging rights however his overall accomplishments in the sport aren't even close to John's career.
You can spike the hell out of IGF1 with a sugar and carb bender in a few days as well. Not as but but clearly noticeable.

500 mast with 250 test is probably too much mast. It will crush your estrogen and you wont grow

Hey Victor, I do have a great question for you. I am competing in about 10 days. When should I pull my PEDS? 🤔🤔🤔
You should make a podcast with Victor and Gregg

Arimidex, Aromasin
My Question What is Best wat to increase hunger to Gain Muscle Mass as Pros are on insulin GH protocols
Nowhere does it talk about IGF-1 Lr3. He’s talking about insulin.
In FL R and N type insulin are OTC
Not at all insulin aspart and lispro is safe. I used iv and no hypo. But your country it needs a prescription i believe.
Outside of you Vic, who are the top 3 bodybuilders who never one Mr Olympia

is it me or does victor arms look bigger than ever!!
No shit! I’d like to see him do a pose down with Cutler now!😏
