hahahaha, oh brother i'll bet you're one of these clowns who thinks Dexter is a million times more conditioned than anyone else just because he had a small waist ::) Branch destroyed him on condition and most importantly SIZE AND THICKNESS.

I must say Branch did bring it this year. But at what cost Squad? I remember talking to Brian Dobson down at Metroflex two years ago. He said that Branch is just so extreme when it comes to his training and dieting. I can only imagine how much test the guy uses.

I have seen him train a few times at Metroflex. He's a animal no doubt. But he DOES NOT train as reckless as his dvd displays.

these guys always put on an act for the DVD's, no one can train like Coleman or Branch does on the videos all the time, Dobson has said that Ronnie doesn't train like that all the time, shit even Ronnie himself has admitted that.

Exactly. Ronnie does train like a mad man, but not 800 on the squat every time lol!! But he did do 6 plates for 12 when I was down there. He was 320. That was impressive as hell.

He had the hardness but not in all places like the lower back and hams but Dexter, Phil, and Kai were conditioned all over. Plus they have better structure. This was the best Branch Warren I have ever seen though. I could at the highest seen him 3rd.

that type of a physique may be to your liking, but you're leting your bias affect what's supposed to be an objective judgement that takes into account several criteria, of which size and thickness is only one.

Tell me it's only a coincidence that you happen to be at 25% considering your views  ;D

Title: branch owned all pussy
Post by: Beener on March 03, 2008, 04:22:11 PM
Branch was fucking unreal. More shredded than the others....though i must admit that kai's lower lats were pretty unreal..but hes a fag so who really cares right.

Branch owned all pussy on saturday night. Looked amazing. But as Bobby C said so many times, "Its either first or fourth for Branch." And hes goin up against three brothers..so how the hell is he supposed to win in the "pretty" and "semetrical" dept.

I still say he shoulda won. But at least he won the most muscular...

how's the steroid use going stud? put on any size yet?

yes thats my thoughts also.... its a home brewed test from a ug lab ....and since it mostly undecanaote...which is like 60% test 40% ester...im thinking that i am getting about 150-200 mg test..   and even then, i dooubt this is quality stuff..   


i have some legit human grade product coming...organon... when i get that ill drop the dosage down

Post by: Fulgorre on March 03, 2008, 05:02:36 PM
It depends on the criteria for the "best".  Now, for me personally, I think the first requirement is not missing bodyparts a la Dexter Jackson.  He has good calves (I've got one of his DVD and they are there) for the everyday guy.  However, when he is on stage it looks like they aren't there at all.  Branch has a tremendous back but on stage it looks like the lower part is too thin.  Needs some Kai Greene or even Heath lower lats to look complete. 

I do see what Squad is saying though.  If you judge by the least weakness, it was probably Heath 1 and then Warren 2 and God I hate to say it, but Dexter 3 little shit :).  Taking into account conditioning, you could make a case for Branch Warren to be 1st. 

The judges like superb upper body and give less attention to the develop of the legs.  Note to those competing :)  I've seen enough NPC shows 1-5 to tell you right now the legs are judged last until the Nationals...especially the calves.  Lol, it is crazy but...I would give to Branch if I was judge because he is white and has less genetic potentail haha!  Take that niggas! :P
Title: Re: BRANCH WARREN WAS THE REAL WINNER OF THE ARNOLD!!!!
Post by: candidizzle on March 03, 2008, 05:18:43 PM
heath lower lats?

heath doesnt have lower lats. LOL!   wirdest fucking lat insertions when he hits a back double bi...they are way up high and in the middle of his back...   

fucking aye, now that i think about....damn phil heath is overrated.

and i said this when he first turned pro as well..  !!

too narrow, small chest, fucked up lats...   = phil heath!! 

lol

sickkkkkkk triceps though, gotta give him that

Ok,
i think this was branchs best overall package to date.hes improved his back and has alot better lower lat detail.i do think his back should be a focus now.from what i hear the man does what he has to with dosages.i hope nothing happpens serious healthwise.
Heath just keeps getting better.more size and and everything. very impressed.
Dexter?he looks great but hasnt made many dramtic improvments.
to me all this should be about making improvments to what you have.

Post by: droopydog on March 03, 2008, 07:52:51 PM
I think Branch was very good... the guy is big as a house and friggn hard as nails... he has a "working man" look much like Dorian (although Dorian had in my opinion the perfect mix of the round aesthetics and what I call "The Sickness".. a hybrid so to speak)... Gaspari was another with this look... But there is that "look" that some guys have that always makes the difference... Its a full... round muscle belly look that can NOT be gained by any amount of work n the gym... guys with very good "hormone genes"..ie. they respond VERY quickly to pretty much any AAS seem to have this look... Phil definitely has this look as does dex... I personally like the look Branch brings... I wold much rather have the grainy look and would gladly sacrifice some aesthetics to get it... (if I ever diet all the way back down that is)... That being said... Branch will be rewarded if he continues to bring the blue collar look..

And is it just me or is Kai not the greasiest looking mofo on the stage... Respect... but DAMN man... get a towel

One thing about branch is he always brings it he's always dry and conditioned, but he is too blocky and his physique is not asthetically pleasing he got what he deserved the "most muscular" he does have a blue collar look though tries really hard to bring his best package but he wasn't born with the best genetics like most on stage are. I'm dissapointed in Gustavo what happened to his physique  ???

Branch was a crowd favorite, but I had it: 
1. Dexter 
2. Kai 
3. Branch 
4. Phil
Kai has awesome potential, but needs to be more aggressive on stage.  During the first comparisons, he didn't even come out on stage with his group.

Branch deserved where he placed, thick and dense yes but the lack of zero lower back detail amongst other areas stood out HUGE compared to the top 3.
