Title: Branch Warren
Post by: XXXII/LX on September 24, 2010, 07:09:42 AM
Am I the only one who is completely dumbfounded as to how his Frankenstein physique gets so much credit? How many tears does this dude have anyway?

Even more confusing is why the heck he keeps training the way he does.???
Makes no sense as everybody can see where it's leading  :-\


His wife is hot as hell anyway, hope she does well in Fitness Olympia

Branch finishing in the top 6 of either the Arnold or Olympia is a crime against humanity
Trainwreck bodybuilding at it's finest.

• every BB era needs a freaky short guy.  Right now, that's Branch
• judges like to reward those who go all out with supplementation; Branch has done that
• a freaky bodypart helps; Branch has legs
• he has come a long way; judges like to reward that too
• his conditioning is consistently good

There is a substantial difference between an AESTHETIC physique and an OLYMPIA calibur physique.  This particular contest--the Mr. Olympia, is about having the biggest, hardest, crispest, clearest, and most muscular physique.  Therefore, a physique like Branch Warren's is definitely an Olympia calibur physique, despite lacking the "pretty" factor.

Branch would still dwarf and look 100X better than any tough guy on this form without blinking twice.

I also scratched my head over some placings from different Olympias in the past, but then I understood this.

I don't quite get his high placings either.  I think it's funny how they always describe it/him as "rugged, blue collar, working man, etc."  LOL  It's like they're really trying hard to peg his character as the ultimate redneck bodybuilder.
