5. Martins was introduced to strength training by his father at the age of 9.
6. His grandfather, who lived on a farm in Latvia, was a former Olympic weightlifter, and later worked as a sculptor. Martins visited him during summer break and on top of farm work, practiced stone lifting.
7. In the summer of 2003, he was beaten and mugged by 3 older guys while waiting for a bus. He left with a black eye and a hole in his mouth that had to be stitched together.
