Branch is huge and he is a very nice guy, but that is an ugly body.Come show time he get hard as nails, but to me his body isnt pleasing to look at.Off season his body looks like a powerilfter who lost a lil bit of bodyfat.He is huge and has great work ethic, but he needs to chill on the the gh and insulin.I know my post will have people bashing me but thats kool im just stating my opinion.No I cant beat Branch Warren on stage and yes I know Branch Warren and talked to him on numerious occasion and he is a great guy.But when I see him get on stage looking like that off season ,I think it looks horrible.I think bodybuilding and bodybuilders in the pro ranks have taken a turn for the worst.I would like to see more bodies like Ronnie in 1998 Flex Wheeler 1993 -1998, Kevin Levrone in his prime, Toney Freeman, and Dexter Jackson.To me thats bodybuilding.Not some bloated ass body that is chemically ruined by synthol, gh and insulin.My company had 2 booths at the Mr Olympia expo and it was dead, they lost 60 vendors the promoter told me.The reason for this is because bodybuilding is slowly dying as a sport.The average public used to almost except bodybuilding, now the guys have become like aliens.Back in the 1980's and 1990's they invited bodybuilders on talk shows, had them in movies and admired them for there hard work.Now they just look at us like freaks, because todays pro's have gotten so big and out of hand the public is intimidated by them.I have working out for 22 years so I have seen alot of things, and at this point bodybuilding had better change or it will wind up like womens pro bodybuilding becoming obsolete.The public likes a muscular well balanced body, but they dont like a muscular man with huge gut hanging out over his chest.I remember seeing pros from the 1980's and 1990's who still have a small waiste and even in the off season they still looked really good.Now the pro bodybuilders look like powerlifters who did cardio and dieted for 2 weeks.I hope pro bodybuilding and bodybuilders change soon and go back to the more pleasing physiques, because then society will except as as people again.This was bodybulding as a sport can prosper which means more money for the athletes.If they dont sell tickets,then people dont go to the expos, which means the nutrition companies wont sponsor shows , which leads to less endorsement money for the athletes.So if you read this thread carfefully you will see how important the public can be for bodybuilding, as a whole.I know this because I have owned 3 sports nutrition companies for the last 10 years.So if we dont sell products, or people dont come to expos, we cannot endorse athletes.It takes money to make money as the old saying goes
