I'm curious why?? Not that I am a huge Branch Warren fan or anything, but I have a hard time hating on the guy. Can anyone constructively explain all the Branch hate to me?

i dont think most people hate branch for any reason other than his body shape and his lifting form

Are there really people who sit around watching the "lifting form" of bodybuilders? And then get upset because you don't like the way he lifts his weights? You guys put Lonnie Teper to shame.

nobody likes a goblin with t-rex arms, a torn tricep, a torn quad and a torn lat.

I just dislike his whole "hardcore" attitude, slamming and throwing weights around. He always says that the way he trains works for him. I am sure training with good form would work well for him as well. Trying to justify shitty form bc he is on a boat load of drugs,

And hate is a strong word. I dont hate him.

Those videos are made for schmoes. There is nothing real about them--including the form. It's all a performance.

Let's just say that getbig's "you look like shit, hope this helps" line is a meme, unless we're talking about Branch Warren.

It's about looking tough, hardcore, etc. Believe it or not some people (kids mostly) are impressed by that kind of posturing.

Here's a reality check: the guy is 5'6". Have you stood next to someone who is 5'6" latley? I don't know about you, but when I stand next to someone that size "tough" and "hardcore" aren't exactly the adjectives that come to mind--no matter how many tattoos or muscles he has.

People would like him more if he'd use a grapefruit in his routine.

Sounds like people blame him for his win. I've heard a couple of interviews with the guy and business wise he's smart.
