Vic what's your game plan to win at the O? I recall you saying u didn't like being to heavy becuase you didn't like the feeling, so im curious as to what adjustments you're planning to make.

vic whats up just finished watchin your back traing video just thought id say how much i liked the fact that you took a few seconds to help the 2 young lads out with some advice especially seeing as im only young myself and still learnin
anyway i saw a video clip of you before where you suggested doin side lateral raise at the end of a chest session to help bring up stubborn shoulder would you use just that exercise or would you throw in another exercise
best of luck at the olympia its going to be a tight one this year cant wait for it
thanks

Flex your the fuckin man. Back workout video was off the hook. I'll be home in August to check out the Grill bro. Good luck with that and Knock'em out this Olympia. Fuck the haters talking shit about you, you took second place in the second biggest contest in bodybuilding after being off the stage for more then a year. I think everyone feels if you were 100% theres no question you would have your second Arnold title....

First id like to say that im a HUGE fan and ive watched all of your uploaded vids on MD...
How long are you going to keep competing and what do you think you chances are for this years mr O?

Even if you think your placing was fair at AC i still think symetry is much better than striated glutes and a blocky waist.

Whats up Victor!! Cant wait to go to muscle maker grille june 5th...Anyway, im trying to bring my body up a little more obviously. What do you feel the best back exercises are to build the most mass? What trap exercises also, and what do you feel about doing chest twice a week? Should i do a heavy set in the beginning of the week and then a light set in the middle of the week if i were to hit chest twice a week? I feel that, that is the biggest muscle i lack on, its so small and weak.

Ola popi. I'm laying dead for that cover shot of me and you with an inside feature on training glutes.

def more confident in training my leg hard and standing toe to toe with everyone else!!
