Title: Arnold Classic - Branch's win re Ifbb judging (serious discussion)
Post by: mesmorph78 on March 06, 2011, 09:25:20 AM
i personally ifbb judgin is a disgrace the criteria is

biggest and hardest wins...
no matter is your built like a frog....
symmetry means nothing ... balance even less

branch has one of the thickest torso in bbing...
yet his arms look all of 19 inches....
awful physique

imo dennis wolf was the winner  or victor
nearly ever bber that competed at the arnold had a better structure than branch.

i respect branch's worth ethic.. but he shouldnt have won yesterday...
not a good day for bbing

Everytime a black man doesn't win it's the same cry "byyyaaahh, they don't award symmetry they don't award proportion" like that meant a fuck when Coleman was winning.  ::)

Maybe they should start bringing a tape measure to the stage. Wolf looked good but compared to Branch he is incomplete. No lower back and no calves. You might not like the way Branches physique flows but with the exception of his arms not having the best shape, they were not out of proportion and his conditioning was unreal!

Wolf has thicker spinal erectors then any other competitor.... you mean his lats don't extend down to his waist. Doesn't mean he doesn't have a lower back. As far as calves go they don't matter. They aren't judged in a show. Common joe loco. You know this. Wolf has high calves like Ronnie. They are developed too.

his condition was amazing yes
branch has lacking bodyparts to
his arms are SMALL for hos monster chest and back
legs way to big for his upper body...
put it this way , he has more flaws than dennis
and his physique looks 10000 better than branches....
branch has zero symmetry. second best bodybuilder in the world....
no way

Totally agree. Wolf dominated of course. Too many structural flaws though. I would ha>e probably went with >ictor. Could'>e been drier of course, but best shape and proportions o>erall. E>an is knocking on the door as well. Bst combination of size, shape, and condition, IMO. Hell, e>en Dex looked better.

This just goes to illustrate how "bodybuilding" is just a cult acti>ity, run by a bunch of schmoes. Just like any other obscure "fetish" group. Sad.
"Sport"? Hahaha...

The problem is how  do you score if not on mass and condition trumping all? Becasue if you base it on balance and aesthetics here is some news for you, guys like Flex and Ray would have never have lost to Dorian or Ronnie. It just isn't such a big deal becasue Doz and Ron had good structure and shape for the most part but they won on mass and condition. If they were all the same bodyweight then flex is never losing to Coleman.

Branch is a fucking mess but then again Ronnie was a mess compared to Ray, so what are you going to do.

Branch's arms are too short, that's why his symmetry is not perfect.

I don't know if symmetry and balance should count for much. I'm fine if mass + conditioning decides the winner (like it most of the time has in history). I think you and some people are too harsh on Branch, he has been compared to t-rex, a bull and what else. He isn't handsome and he is gritty, but I think his physique is just fine.

This is true. And Wolf or Ronnie can't do anything about their calf>es. They're just like Branch's forearms.

In all seriousness i picked branch to win prior to the show and after prejudging. That however isn't in my opinion what should have happened. Part of my motives for judging have been molded by what typically wins. The other part is the voice in side my head which shouts what should win and Wolf SHOULD be the criteria of what should win. Evan was clearly the leanest person on stage but his presence needs work. A lot of things Evan did were amatursish such as his coloring. He also seemed to lack some confidence up there. He beat himself before he got up on that stage. As far as Victor goes, i can't stand the guy. He looked good at the ASC in 08 but i don't understand what all the hype is. Im surprised he got 4th. I don't think he will quite recover from that quad tear.

i have nothing against branch i like branch .. i dont care about his face im not a woman so i couldnt know how to juge that
but .. im sorry wolf was in good condition too and his structure really makes branch looks bad... his combination of symmetry size and shape should have trumped branched size mass... branches phsyque is out of whack

He was genetically gifted  but the new judging criteria, too much drugs  and being Joe Weider's satanic sex slave ruined his physique.

both of them look like shit imo. lots of muscle but it looks like crap... Wolf looked good 2007 and as amateur that's it.

they should award guys like Centopani who has a physique you wouldn't mind having.

but i guess "bodybuilding is the muscle" as kyomu puts it. no matter if you look like some thrown together frankensteinmonster.

BBing is about muscle.
Who looked the most muscular and well developed at that night?
Branch.
Thats all.

If two guys are developed same level with no weak point,then we talk about proportion.
Branchs arms are not that weak like Wolfs hams,glutes and lower back and calves.

Yup, Ronnie '98 and '99 was it. Too bad he couldn't keep refining that. 2003 he was a freak, but '98 was best. Again, these guys are forced to fuck up their physiques to comply with the "standard". E>en Branch looked much better after he won the nationals and just turned pro. But more and more drugs and hea>ier and hea>ier training just caused bloat and muscle tears which brings us to the fucked up >ersion he displays today. Fucking shame that that shit gets rewarded...

I agree "it's not about black or white at all" - I mean, seriously, we all miss Ronnie Coleman no matter who we are. Flex Wheeler was a badass bodybuilder (to look at)- his personality, communication skills and attitude sucked ass, but that's not what they were judging on, was it?


Black bodybuilders have a definite genetic advantage over your typical "white man's" structure. That's a fact. Any pure-blooded bodybuilder (or wannabe bodybuilder) wants to see a freak. Don't matter how racist you are.


It is what it is. Black men dominate the "O" and they have for some time now, and I assume they always will.

Branch looks like a big ball of shit that was bombarded with gamma rays and came to life......he is a prime example of why bodybuilding sucks ass now.

Wolf destroyed him. Just about as big as far as muscle mass.....and LOOKS bigger and far more proportionate  because his structure destroys the bloated elf's. And his muscle quality and separation are light years ahead of Branch's

And I know how BBing contests are judged....doesn't mean that it isn't a total joke.... Its pathetic that a fucking BLOB of shit like Warren is an Arnold classic champ.

Branch looks like a big ball of shit that was bombarded with gamma rays and came to life......he is a prime example of why bodybuilding sucks ass now.

Wolf destroyed him. Just about as big as far as muscle mass.....and LOOKS bigger and far more proportionate  because his structure destroys the bloated elf's. And his muscle quality and separation are light years ahead of Branch's

And I know how BBing contests are judged....doesn't mean that it isn't a total joke.... Its pathetic that a fucking BLOB of shit like Warren is an Arnold classic champ.

Wolf looked better than he has for a long time. His structure requires fullness yet a tight gut which he has trouble achieving consistently.

Branch has improved also people forget he was all legs even three years ago. His forearms are totally torn to pieces but his biceps look okay in the front double which counts for a lot.

This is the pic I was looking for but I thought it was from yesterday....it's from 2009...but regardless!
That is one of the saddest X-mas trees on a top Pro that I've ever seen...

To mee, they all look like compacted shit. The judges had the simple job of picking who looked the less like compacted shit. But, they do the opposite and pick the one who looks the most like compacted shit.

If ANYBODY had any sense, the judges all would have refused to judge the show and say that physique presented were so inferior and so embarassing for a top show like the Arnold, that it disgraced the Arnold Classic...that would have been big, and it would wake up the the bbing world about the substandard quality of physiques that have been presented.

I get the feeling this year for Branch is like Dexter's 2008.  Branch is late in his career and finally won the Arnold, it's now or never at the Olympia.  Phil is holding a grudge against the Arnold after losing last year to Kai.  It was a mistake to pass up the $140k check.

Exactly, I too think Phil had a grudge over his "knocking at the door" debacle at the Arnold Classic...
He passed up a 140k check---he needs to check his ego, and see that barring Kai or Jay, he is better than the field by a long shot...
Especially when a humanoid T-Rex wins.

I don't think that's the reason Phil is sitting the Arnold out , I think it's because he doesn't want to get burned out on spring shows and give the Olympia 100% effort which he could win especially if Jay comes in less than perfect like 08 , a lot more money to be made being Mr Olympia than just an Arnold classic winner.

His lats just insert high and wide, which makes his Xmas tree practically invisible (Christmas tree comes from the insertions of the lats meeting the erectors, high and wide insertions=no visible Xmas tree)

that lower back "problem" is usually referred to as a small waist.

I have a few observations...

1) Evans  structure is verry funny.i cant put a handle exactly...but the more im looking at it , hes got the opposit of WOLFS problem in that his lats extends tooooo far down to almost his waist.This creates a wider looking waist and actually spoils the V shape if you can believe that


2) Wolfs needs to put alottt more muscle behind his legs , his hams etc.It will divert the attention away a bit from him having weak back shots.Compare to warren anyone else and hear what im saying


3) I like victrs build , but damn his legs are missing whole muscles.How can he survive now.His front lat spread looks oddd , thats cos of his chest


am i wrong on these points ?

And this is telling, because he looked shitty

I think, that certain bbers (like Phil and Kai) are quality control for the other guys, just Dex used to be, just like Flex, Chris, and Kev used to be.

These guys would show up in shape, so if other competitors knew that they were competing, they'd bring their "A", when they didn't compete the competition was not on par. This what I believe Phil and Kai (and Dex as well), roles are. For instance, Dex always had the condition card, so if competed, the competition knew that if they were off, he'd beat them---forcing them to up the "rippedness" factor for themselves.

Phil and Kai bring to the table conditioning and freakiness---one is known for a freaky set of arms and great back detail, the other for freaky mass and freaky "entertaining" posing...

Honestly parker I dont know where you come up with some of this..
Kai's last couple outings were not that great.. He really looks like Ronnie's smaller deformed brother.... hes a mess, and his condition is hit or miss, so I dont really think the other guys worry about his conditioning.
And while Phil does come in shape, hes not THAT in shape, he lacks separation in his delts and he looks like an inflated balloon, hes nowhere near as ripped as the guys in the 90's.

it was bnasicaly waren win because of hamstrings...not taking into consideration that his arms are not existant,,someone mention here tricep look funky,,it is because IT IS OIL IN THE ARM!,,branch waren won based on slightly direr look from on the legs,,which disapear in comparison to his no arms of his own ,,his arms stopped back at 18-19 inches...none of it over this is his,,and ofcourse his lower back this blob of oil and skin,,thick thick skin from severe abuse of hgh and insulin,,

wolfe although slighly weaker hams should have taken this compeititon ,,infact he has good chance to become mr o if competition judges corectly because he does brought up himself a notch and display his physiqe much better ,,his structure is a little diff but he is much better than branch waren and should have won this compeititon ,,you cant give first place to someone based on the fact he carry more loose skin ,,carry fake arms that dont look belong,,and his muscles dont seem to flex anymore,,its like blob of oil and muscle mix,,this is really disturbing,,there is one thing to see this in amatuer but to see it in arnold?

big big mistake,,wolf this time shoudl have won ,,branch shoudnt even got second ,,wolf,,evan then maybe branch 3rd i woudnt give him only due to the legs

Wolf should have won this show.  His lats are high but look at the spinal erectors, he has definitely improved his back.
I'll take that flaw over a physique that doesn't flow well.  While Branch & Kai are amazing, neither has a good symmetrical flowing physique.  I'll take wolf (in condition), evan, dexter, phil heath, or even rockel over those two because of structure & flow.

I'll take that flaw over a physique that doesn't flow well.  While Branch & Kai are amazing, neither has a good symmetrical flowing physique.  I'll take wolf (in condition), evan, dexter, phil heath, or even rockel over those two because of structure & flow.
Dennis Wolf got robbed..

And this is telling, because he looked shitty

I think, that certain bbers (like Phil and Kai) are quality control for the other guys, just Dex used to be, just like Flex, Chris, and Kev used to be.

These guys would show up in shape, so if other competitors knew that they were competing, they'd bring their "A", when they didn't compete the competition was not on par. This what I believe Phil and Kai (and Dex as well), roles are. For instance, Dex always had the condition card, so if competed, the competition knew that if they were off, he'd beat them---forcing them to up the "rippedness" factor for themselves.

Phil and Kai bring to the table conditioning and freakiness---one is known for a freaky set of arms and great back detail, the other for freaky mass and freaky "entertaining" posing...

Good post, I agree. More so about Dexter than the others.

So what is your beef with him really? That he is short, bald and ugly? LOL what has that got to do with bodybuilding?



They like them pretty. Why do think they always return to salivate over Reeves and Paris.

I don't get why people whine about Branch? Dude has a pretty tight midsection, is one of the few pros to look real good in a ab and thigh pose, he has huge calves, which most of the others lack and a really thick torso

So what is your beef with him really? That he is short, bald and ugly? LOL what has that got to do with bodybuilding?

Wolf has no calves which mess up his whole flow badly especially with his big quads, hams are lacking, lats are lacking thickness

Even with Branchs messed up oily arms he has less flaws than Wolf, I mean come on Wolfs arms are are not really all that good either, they are big but don't exactly have the best shape



you are honestly saying branch has les flaws than wolf??

Post by: Kulutues on March 07, 2011, 02:45:49 PM
It's easy to post like that, perhaps you can counter my arguments with your own  ???

Other than oilbag arms, what are his flaws?  ???

Wolf flaws:
Hams
Glutes (no homo)
Lats
Calves

Branch flaws:
Oil arms

This is stupid, glutes aren't even a judging criteria.  Wolf is many many inches bigger than Branch EVERYWHERE in his upper body.  Branch is small EVERYWHERE but his legs, which of course are big because ehs a ffucking 5.6" midget and they will always be naturally big

Here, let's see

(http://pics.musculardevelopment.com/photos/transferred/_PB14067wtmk.JPG)

He is bigger EVERYWHERE THAN BRANCH.  Hell, doesnt even look like Branch's famed calves are any bigger than Wolfs

So Branch's flaws:

Shitty 15 inch worse than amateur oilbag bis and tris

Even shittier worse than amateur worse than cashier forearms

Shitty entire upper body, outmassed by everyone around him on stage

Shitty elf troll head

It doesn't matter how many inches bigger he is, he is tall so he has to fill out more, Branch is not small everywhere  ::)

Thicker pecs, much better hams, better lats, better calves, better quads

in fact the ONLY thing Branch is lacking now is a set of great arms, if he had arms he would be a pretty complete bodybuilder

Loses on height, hair and beauty  ??? ???  ::)

You continue to pretend ignorance and ignore clear cut photographs of the competition.  Branch looks like a small child next to Wolf, clear as crystal to everyone with eyes

Dennis' arms aren't really all that great, his shoulders are huge he takes that easy, back is not better, abs are not particularly better either, his balance is no way better when he has absolutely no calves, lacking hams and lat thickness

Obvious troll all wrong no surprise

Youre blind

And the "Wolf has a shitty back" thing is old tired and untrue.

He has vastly improved the thickness in his lower back....he had the best lumbars on stage...and his back was ALWAYS wide as fuck. His back looks great to me.

And it was wider and more detailed than Warrens....look at any picture from the show.

BUT.....that's the innate retardedness of BBing....now it doesn't matter how his back actually looks...he's got a "weak back"    ::)

Calves aren't that great....but I think branches arms should be marked down a helluva lot more than Wollfs calves.....they are disgusting and obviously loaded with oil. And Arms are a MAJOR bodypart.

I don't see where Branch was any more conditioned than Wolf or Centopani. ...he looks bloofy and waterlogged

Wolfs structure and appearance and qaulity of muscle FUCKING destroy the Elf.....

.And I can hear it now "well THE JUDGES" thought branch was better so STFU...

I could give a crap what the judges think...they have been getting it wrong more often than right since day one

I don't think that's the reason Phil is sitting the Arnold out , I think it's because he doesn't want to get burned out on spring shows and give the Olympia 100% effort which he could win especially if Jay comes in less than perfect like 08 , a lot more money to be made being Mr Olympia than just an Arnold classic winner.

also let's not forget that this the winner of the Olympia is not a random occurrence.  The Weiders are in full control and they probably told Phil to stop doing the Arnold and he would be rewarded.

Honestly look at that picture, zoom in on Wolfs back, you know where the christmas tree is supposed to show so we se the separation between his lats and erector spinae? There is nothing there  ??? Honestly he needs to improve them

 Branch is more ripped.

 But Wolf is just generally better. Better foundation, better flow, better symetry, no muscle tears, less weak points, less bloating, better abs, better arms......

 Branch is just massive and ripped with crazy legs. That's it.

 Wolf should have won.

I see clearly defined muscle in that area...and a trim waist.

On Branch I loose skin folding over and a wide waist.  His whole back looks watery and his muscle quality is poor. Just crappy "Mass" that apparently wins contests

Post by: Parker on March 07, 2011, 09:12:06 PM
Honestly parker I dont know where you come up with some of this..
Kai's last couple outings were not that great.. He really looks like Ronnie's smaller deformed brother.... hes a mess, and his condition is hit or miss, so I dont really think the other guys worry about his conditioning.
And while Phil does come in shape, hes not THAT in shape, he lacks separation in his delts and he looks like an inflated balloon, hes nowhere near as ripped as the guys in the 90's.
Actually, it was something Flex or Shawn had said....depending on who enters the show in terms of top runners, they were the ones who set the tone...just like how Dorian or Ronnie set the tone, so the competition knew that what they had to contend with...
 And Kai has looked freaky at the Arnold the last couple of yrs...
Look at it not as a comparison to the 90's but as a mechanism withing the competition.

Branch has always had a soft back.  It looked like he brought in more back thickness to the Arnold, but ended up even softer, with skin folds in his lower back.
