He has to be to train like this...

Can't help but wonder what he would look like if he actually completed one full rep.

He must have amazing genetics/be taking unbelievable amounts of gear.

Basically his chest workout consisted of 2 warm up sets on each excercise with sloppy but decent form.

And then 2 sets of absolute garbage, partials moving the weight about 1 inch and cheating his ass off. You wonder how he tore his arm and lat. ::)

Branch's training is ridiculous, half repping shit all the way. He's pretty strong though,but if he use proper form the weight he used would be alot lower.
His training partner is an idiot; throwing stuff around, yelling profanities and trying to use the same weight as Branch, which he can't.His ego is even bigger than his 'roid stack. Stupid juice-monkey. Jay Moore sucks. Period.
Meltdown!

No wonder he has been injured so much.

I guess you can't be hardcore unless you throw weights around.

Take away his drugs and he would be nothing more than a bald headed clone of that movie actor Colin.

And that dude in the white tank top has worse form than Branch does... what's up with that bozo?

He's not trying to prove anything.  Why exert extra energy moving the weight around when you just came to train arms?  He's a strong ass guy, I think we all know he can handle his weight.  In case you didn't notice, he doesn't exactly work out in a health club.

Strict form and full ROMs's with less weight aren't essential, could even be less effective. All that matters is whether it's hitting the muscles without injuring. Going that heavy might be a bad idea though, only in terms of his injuries. That form's typical, nothing different from other BBs; obviously works.

Looks like he does close-grip BP to the face, sort of a compound skull that look intense. I'll have to try.

you mean on the bench? i think he's doing kind of a JM press, though his form is pretty poor. i do it like that on the incline with a slightly closer grip and it's just murder on the triceps, one of my favorite exercises.

It's true, most people that have carried 100+ dumbbels around the gym realize this.  When you sit down on the bench with the heaviest dumbbels you can handle that you just carried 15 feet from the rack, do you not have to catch your breath for a moment before you start your exercise?  Dropping the weight does save energy, it can be scientifically proven. So, no, I'm not wrong in what I said.   No offense to you, that's all I will say.  I don't read these boards to argue with people.

I'm not going to argue, but why is the bench he's using 15ft away? I've trained heavy most of my life and I can't recall having to carry almost anything 15ft away from where I'm doing a particular exercise, there are million ways to train smarter, dropping your weights ain't one them!

If you gotta drop it.......you can't handle it, simple as that!

I trained at World Gym in Santa Monica in it's hayday and if you either dropped the weight (on purpose) or didn't put them away Joe Gold pretty much kicked your ass out with no questions asked. I'm sure Onlyme can back me on this.

Agreed... If you can get it all the way out, you just push it out as you stand up. It rolls out naturally. The dropping of weights on the very last set because you can't get the last one out I can deal with, but if you drop them every set, it's just too much.

Oh and throwing plates around is just moronic...

Intenseone is right.

Dropping weights saves your body.When we deadlift in the gym,we always drop it at the top because its the negative part of the lift that rips hamstrings.Why risk getting hurt.Banging 180lb dumbells of your quads after doing db inclines is stupid and dangerous.By the way,I pull 788[in a meet]so I think I can handle any weight I take.If a weight snaps,WE pay for it.

You sound hard core Billy.  I think you must be one, very intimidating person, in that gym you attend.  Keep training heavy, heavy, heavy.  Go balls-to-the wall and take-no-prisoners.  You are a 'warrior' Billy and that deserves respect!

Agreed... If you can get it all the way out, you just push it out as you stand up. It rolls out naturally. The dropping of weights on the very last set because you can't get the last one out I can deal with, but if you drop them every set, it's just too much.

Oh and throwing plates around is just moronic...

Intenseone is right.



I 3rd that opinion.

I'll let you tell Branch he has to leave, Joe.

Hey, it isn't my gym, but if it were, one warning, two max and I would have problem telling him, I'm sure he's not the only member.

His training partner is obviously a huge turd....but, I would say Branch is equally as moronic.

Obviously he is thick and strong as fucc....but....why bother training like that?  Especially since they keep saying 4 weeks out 4 weeks to the O.

I can't help of thinking of Chicks hardcore workouts leading up to the Master's O. Not wanting to risk injury etc...

Yes it does matter.  It can help Branch so much more to lift with proper form and not look like a complete retard.  There are many pros that use strict form and don't look like Branch when lifting.  Ronnie, Jay, Martinez to name a few.

As long as the muscle's worked it can be as or more effective than doing everything strictly.

I don't agree with that.  The type of shape you can get into by using strict form for a consistent 5 years is not the type of shape that you can get into by using horrible/sloppy form for 5 years.  Also, for the common gym rat, using Branch's form can get them hurt and out of the gym for a few months.

Arnold's said since the 60s that his biggest biceps size gains came from cheat curls. The theory doesn't hold up, just admit you're stuck on the idea.

Branch's form might prevent injuries, some of which happen at the beginning/ending of ROM using strict form.

The only thing with Branch's form that could cause problems is going heavy like that with lower reps.

A joint is a joint is a joint.  Using strict form you prevent injuries, using sloppy form you can hyperextend the muscle, move in an inappropriate angle, which can cause you to either tear something or fracture something.  ROM is just that Range of motion, moving in a way that opposes your natural ROM can cause an accident.

Arnold's almost total BS, but not in terms of training specifics.

As far as your theory, go with it if it gets you off but it's not at all conclusive. The opposite's just as true or more effective in many cases. Sometimes injuries are in fact prevented by avoiding your dogma.

branch is thick as an ox, the only reason he should clean up his form is to avoid injury. anyone saying it'd be more beneficial to him to train with full ROMs and strict form obviously hasn't actually paid attention to how fucking big he is.

I'm just going to throw this out there...It seems that in recent years, there are many more "pro's" that have poor form than those that have good form...I have trained several years and have made decent gains in strength and size (naturally), but by no means am I huge...Maybe these guys are onto something...I'm thinking about sneaking into the gym early(so I don't feel like a jackass), and using some poor form for a month or two...What is there to lose ( as long as I'm conscious of injuries)?
