I think they would be from around the time he beat Jay Cutler at the Teen Nationals in 1993. Branch was 184 at that show and very shredded. That is huge for 5'6 when you think about it. It just goes to show how much bigger Branch has become now for him to look small back then.

That's true and with both Branch and Jay I don't think they take much time off. I don't recall seeing any photos for the past 10 years of Jay ever looking like he was off.

Post by: pellius on October 13, 2010, 01:56:29 AM: Branch was quite the pretty boy back in the day. I'm a fan of Branch but he really morphed into a monster. And I don't just mean his size. I mean, his whole look. The kind of look that make little kids cry.

Post by: Captain Equipoise on October 13, 2010, 02:26:27 AM: Damn, that's the best Branch has ever looked, it's funny how most pro's look the best when they're high up in NPC or just about to turn pro, then completely f*ck their physiques up trying to put on more size.

What do you suppose the average blood pressure of a pro bodybuilder is? I can't imagine it being low. Kevin said that at his highest bulk his pulse was 87 but was 50 when his weight dropped to 185.
