Home/Bodybuilding

Taking care of one’s hygiene is something most people do. But along with that, keeping one’s surroundings clean, like one’s home or a public space like the gym, is also equally important. However, more often than not it is seen that some people do not follow basic hygienic etiquette, especially in public spaces. Veteran bodybuilder Victor Martinez recently took to Instagram to call out this behavior.

Using gym-goers as an example, Martinez demonstrated how many training enthusiasts ignore basic tasks such as cleaning after themselves. So how did the 2007 Arnold Classic champ do it?

Recently, the Dominican Dominator shared a video story asking an important question, “Do you clean up after yourself?” In the story, Martinez, along with a companion, acted out a little skit to share his message. Their act started with the camera focusing on a man leaving a bench press table wet with sweat after his workout. Looking at that, the Dominican Dominator questioned if he was going to clean it. To this, the man replied that it was clean.

Agitated by his reply, Martinez pressed if he was leaking. The gym-goer, however, still insisted that he was clean. At this point, Martinez said, “I’m gonna feel like I’m showering in your freaking sweat. You young motherfu**ers these days don’t know how to clean up after yourselves.” When the man still insisted that everything was “okay” despite the visible sweat patch, Martinez grabbed him by his t-shirt, pulled him down, and used the cloth to clean the space.

While the lesson Martinez demonstrated might’ve been harsh, the message it shared was loud and clear. Moreover, this isn’t the first time Martinez is calling out new-age bodybuilders on something they do.

In an interview with Generation Iron, released on March 2, Victor Martinez shared his view on Synthol intake. Talking about how the element works in the body, Martinez claims it inflates the muscles. Mocking those who use it, Martinez said that when a bodybuilder becomes lazy and doesn’t want to work hard to build muscle, they inject themselves with Synthol.

For the unversed, Synthol injections are used to facilitate immediate muscle enlargement. Though it shows immediate short-term benefits, studies prove that it has adverse effects on the body in the long run. Long-term use of Synthol can lead to the deformation of muscles. Victor Martinez asserts that it is the worst thing someone can do to themself.
