Let's hear from Kai Greene!
-
There are a few good stories you guys could address from the NY Pro.
1) Should a guy with a major lat deficiency on one side be able to win a show?
2) Did the judges finally follow the synthol mandate and penalize guys with obvious injections?
3) Will Dennis Wolf, once he adds five more pounds to weak areas, be the next big threat?

1. I couldn't get a straigth on view but the right lat in the back dbl. bi and lat spread looked a bit small on Branch. However his chest and delts really overpower his arms in bi shots.
2.Who pray tell?
3. Is such a thing possible to add muscle to problem areas without growing more in strong areas? Also, I've never seen anyone "bring up" calves....you either got em or you don't I say but I'd love for Wolf to prove me wrong.

Here are a few. I hope the PBW hosts address this. branch looks unbalanced, yet he won.

240 - in one post you're saying he and Dennis have more muscle yet here you are implying he should of won. Who should have then - Dennis?
-
How does Dennis Wolfe not place ahead of DJ & Branch Warren?
How on earth does Des Miller place in the top five with an upperbody so weak?
-

I think you're operating under the faulty assumption that I believe the man with the most muscle should win a bodybuilding show.
IMO the man with the best physique - a combination of size, shape, conditioning and symmetry, among other factors - should win the show. I think Branch had him outmuscled, but that torn lat should have cost him. Dennis James probably should have won, with Wolf second and Branch third IMO. Branch just didn't look the epitome of human muscle perfection - he was unbalanced.

Fair enough. He only appears "unbalanced" from the front poses in my opinion. Dennis didn't appear to be in the condition Branch was in.
What "other factors" would you say are needed?
-
Question for the show.
Why are guys with gyno placing in the top 4 and qualifying for the Mr O?

True that. Gyno is some nasty shhit. i remember that Ronnie had bad gyno when he first won the Mr O. Who are they having on tonites show? I think I'll have me a listen.

west coast willie, wtf you doing on the east coast bro

You know what many of the fans want to hear. Why would the judges put up Branch Warren over Dennis Wolf or Dennis James in first place. Based on the popular opinion on this Getbig.com board, and other boards, plus based on the phone calls, e-mails, and myriad of other forms of communication, the majority, over 85%, have said that Branch Warren should not have won the New York Pro.
It would be interesting to hear from some of the judges on what brought them to this decision.
This is not a knock off regarding Branch Warren, it is just what many of the people thought. Branch and his training partner are great people, and Branch is a great competitor, but people just want to know.
-
No one is saying Branch sucks or anything... it's not like he's Kamali... just that he clearly wasn't the best man in this show, he probably should have been 3rd.
Dennis Wolf got screwed! >:(
-
Guess we won't be hearing from Kai on PBW any time soon.
-
Bob starts with 3 lame Wolf jokes.
Bob, one would have won some chuckles. Three? Come on, man...
-
From the callouts - no one thought branch was the winner.
Dan and Bob were both shocked Branch won.
Bob had him 3rd to 5th.
-
I forgot about hernia surgury
-
Wolf is 6'1"?
-
Holy shit.... Bob agrees that Wolf should have won!
-
Wolf is 6'1"?
yes
-
They agree that Dennis James is a loser.
-
Dan just said Wolf should have won the show in his opinion.
-
American bias apparently...
-
You can't knock on these guys for kissing anyone's ass, they go after what the fans want to hear.
-
King Kamali and Shawn Ray might be exchanging Christmas cards this year?
hmmm
-

hmmm
Will Silvio be sending Shawn one as well?
-
So, you think they will be discussing KK's dismal performance?
-
hahahahaha, "your veins will start popping like the Fourth of July"
-

Bob needs to respond to his claim that King was top 5 caliber several weeks out.
-
King was "never a factor".
PBW-speak for "sucked balls".
-
Bob sings the "King looked good, he'll be back" song, then Dan smacks him with reality! ;D

not really, sounded like Bob was hinting that King just doesn't have the genetics to be a top contender.
-
Apparently, if I'm not taking "crea-kick", my efforts in the gym are wasted! Gee, thanks for this awesome info, PBBW! :D

hahahahaha, "activate new muscle gains that have been locked away for years". ;D
-
This judge has the same accent as Branch.
Hmmmmmmmm........
-

Hmmmmmmmm........
Hmm...
-
'I haven't spoke to Branch yet...'
Does he have a after show private 'pose down' scheduled or something?
-
why are these guys such pussies when it comes to naming a guy's faults" with Kamali all he says wa sthat he was soft and wasn't full enough, anyone can see his arms are wayyyy too small, his quad sweep is non existant and his stomach is big.
-
Hmm...

On PBW they reported that Shawn and King shook hands back stage at the NY Pro.
Is this true? Anyone get a pic or verification?
I'd like to hear them both on the radio. With the things King said about him last June, plus what Shawn has said over and over and over...
well, they gotta get him on the radio next week. Then, King should do the Colorado pro.

Is the podcast up?

He (Branch) is just not pleasing to the eye. When he keels from a hypertension induced stroke, will anyone be surprised?

A hypertension induced stroke wont bother branch, itll just make him more hardcore, in metroflex no'one respects you unless youve had a hypertension induced stroke, true story.
-
After listening to the playback, I was not really impressed with the responses given by the "IFBB judge" Lee Thompson.. When pressed to make his claim he couldn't in my opinion make any valid argument to awarding Branch first or for that matter placing King nineth.

LEts just say the pictures speak for themself wolf and James were robbed.
