Branch pretty much bastardizes every exercise there is in an attempt to use more weight, not flaming because it's obviously working for him but he does some shit that makes you say....WTF? ???

If they're close-grips to the neck, the form is good.

Check out the side effects on cholesterol meds.

Heres just a few that i looked up real quick.


Signs of liver damage, such as yellow eyes or skin, upper right abdominal pain, dark urine, and elevated liver enzymes (found using a blood test)
 

Muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also have a fever or feel ill (which may be signs of serious breakdown of muscle, known as rhabdomyolysis)
 

Significant, unexplained changes in the amount of urine you produce (which may be a sign of kidney problems)
 

Signs of pancreatitis, such as severe upper abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting
 

Memory loss
 

Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:
 
A rash
Itching
Hives
Wheezing or difficulty breathing
Swelling of the mouth, tongue, or throat.

Yes I think he tore his lat in the arm pit area and also had some nerve damage going on. I also think that the cholesterol meds that he takes is starting to make his legs atrophy.

Disgusted in your opinion, is there anyone right now in the IFBB on more drugs than branch warren???

that whole video used to be on youtube in parts and he does some crazy shit like seated shoulder presses that look like standing incline presses, doing sets of db presses where he's moving the weight two inches off his chest, barbell inclines where he wedges his body to the point where it's almost a flat bench, crazy shit like that.

what's he taking, Zocor? i know they can fucck with liver enzymes but how do they eat muscle?

Not sure what kind he is on, but he mentions taking it in his video. Flex just posted some good info. Also, if you want a quick read, but some VERY informative on cholesterol and how it is made in the body read the chapter on cholesterol in a book called "Protein Power". You will then know more about cholesterol after reading that chapter than 95% of the Drs out there.

That's a loaded question bro.  ;D I was in Branch's hotel room a couple of years ago when he was in the AC and I can tell you that seeing those legs up close are a site to see.

there's a pic of branch in the "teen bbing" feature that flex had last month.

he is a teen with veins in his chest and legs, pretty freaky for a guy who was just training a few years.

back then you can see the size and thickness he had.

it obvious branch started using at a very early age if not from day one.

being 5'7, maybe the drugs caused his stunted growth.

also, the fact that one of branch's closest friends (one of the guys in the posted clip) was one of the biggest roid dealers in texas -dave jacobs.  which by the way ended in a murder suicide.

that is a purpouseful momentum, not to cheat the weight up

Oh, but it is. Check out the alternating dumbbell curls.

Based on outside appearance (that is if you can make this extrapolation which I think you can but only to a certain extent), markus rühl, but only markus though ;D

Makes all the difference, as i said if they're close-grips there's no issue. The only issue is using so much momentum and weight that it causes injury.

You want to see some crazy triceps strength,then look at this guys videos.Plus have a look for his dumbell pressing where he pauses at the bottom of every rep.

He looks like shit, what's the point? Those JM Presses are again a misnomer, they're close grips that lack the extension ROM on the way down.

He`s a powerlifter,he don`t care what he looks like.When you can use 140s like that,then you can criticize him.

Looks like a JM press more than anything.

branch was training at metro the day we had our grip contest there last weekend and that man slings some serious weight

Most BBs wouldn't care, I don't especially if that's the look you end up with.

Branch has a ton of muscle mass, but his training style is not very conducive to avoiding injury.
