IFBB pro Victor Martinez has had a remarkable career, not only for its longevity of 20 years, but also for the highs and lows. Victor has overcome a lot: a pec tear, a patellar tendon tear, a broken arm (while arm wrestling a fan in Mexico), two incarcerations, the savage murder of his sister, and the deaths of many among his family and friends. Through it all, Victor has remained a favorite among fans and has become known as The Uncrowned People’s Champion, in part because of his controversial runner-up finish at the 2007 Mr. Olympia. Victor is on the cover of this month’s MD to honor his legacy as he turns a page in his career. The Dominican Dominator is finally ready to say goodbye— or is he?
