I rarely start threads, but I feel MOTHERFUCKIN' COMPELLED today after having read the new MD ! I'll keep this short. The new MD has a feature starring both Branch Warren and Dorian Yates. Here's the kicker ( and where my bp goes through the roof ) ... not only is Branch hittin' Yates's signature poses, but he's also being compared to him. "
The new Dorian ... " or some shit like that ( can't remember verbatim ) ! WHAT ... THE ... FUCK !!! Branch isn't even Dorian's league, for christ sake ( and I'm NOT a Dorian fan, btw ) ! If I was Dorian, I'd be fuckin' pissed ! Goddamnit ! Ok ... rant over. Any thoughts, opinions, etc. ?

Branch's form would make Dorian puke
-
That's an insult to Dorian bottom line.
-
It's all business.
Dorian and Branch are the two best blue-collar, working man, white guy bodybuilders of the past couple decades.
They are marketted the same way, to the same target audience. Naturally they would try to bring them together for some kind of bullshit spectacle. They are both packaged and sold as gritty and tough macho dudes.
It's just to make money of course. Nothing more to it really. Everyone involved in just bullshitting and laughing their way to the bank. It's a charade. Just like about half the shit you see in the media.
-
lol branch is a joke. branch cant even do macho because hes not. hes a goblin where everyone is laughing at.

Did it also bother you when Priest hit Sergio's overhead biceps shot?
I think Lee is just as known for that pose, now, as Oliva.
I knew a guy who competed in NPC events.
He told me that the competitor "handbook" prohibits athletes from using other pros' signature poses onstage.
I don't know if this has ever been enforced.
I wonder if this was something done just for the magazine shoot, or is Branch is now going to start incoprorating Dorian's poses onstage?
Branch has mentioned several times that Dorian was a major inspiration to him and his training, and I doubt this is any kind of disrespect/sleight aimed at Yates.
On another hand, it's good that Dorian's name is still mentioned today.
I doubt he minds the free publicity, especially with his supplement line and gym chain.

8) All the way a big dude, crushes Branch with one arm.

Lets just get past this and.....
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
You're way too invested in bodybuilding.
-
They both have a contract with MD. It's just money. They don't care about the rest.
-
* sigh * ..... the marketing side ... yeah, guys, I get that. Not MY point though. My point is this ... I'm Dorian " The MOTHERFUCKING Shadow " Yates ! And my name is being brought up in the same sentence as Branch Warren ? WTF ??!! I'm a legend, for fuck's sake ! Branch looks NOTHING like me and shouldn't even be in the same room as me unless he's fetchin' me some water. And make it quick, boy !!
Eh, it's pointless ... I've obviously got some mental issues I need to address ... ttyl ... ;D ;D ;D
-
the comparaison is ridiculus but as far as getting pissed off because of that..... you need to relax my friend ;D
-
Dorian is a legend.
Branch is a gnome.
Advantage Dorian.

Seriously..? Get a life.. When you're going through hard times..ask your great friend Dorian to cut you a check..
Who gives a shit!? You're a grown ass man,that's getting all sensitive about something no one gives a sh!t about..

Maybe the should have recycled some other old beaten to death topic instead?
-
You are all wrong my friends!
The reason why Branch and Dorian are compared in the last MD edition is because both of them have the healty good look that can be achieved naturally ( OK, maybe with a little help of DY nutrion supplements and Muscletech supplement) from the general population that train sporadically at your local health club! ;D
-
branch natural ::)
-
I'm still waiting for my Muscle Training Illustrated to come in the mail.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
-
branch natural ::)
kiwiol tell mars Branch could be on roids it is really unclear without test results at the moment.
-
I appreciate the heads up but this really doesn't affect me at all.
-
Guys. I was being melodramatic. You know, " over the top " ? Obviously, that went over a lot of heads here ! Lol ! Trust me, I'm not sittin' here in tears over some damn magazine. I'm sittin' here in my recliner waitin' for this fat chick to come over my house so I can pull her nose into my steel wool. Peace out, fellas ! :)
P.S - I still think the comparison is stupid. But, oh, well. :)

I don't see what the problem is. They both look like shit. Good comparison.
-
Steel wool?? Are you coloured?
-
It's a slap in the face of Dorian - nothing more, nothing less.

Branch is the best conditioned bodybuilder of our generation, and yet if he were too step onstage with the conditioning that Dorian had at 255 lb, he would step onstage weighting 235 lbs! Dorian carried 20 lbs more of lean muscle than him and he came in with better condiotioning since Branch insists in stepping onstage at 250+ lbs. So more lean muscle mass plus better conditioning. If Branch came in at 235 lbs, Dorian would only have the muscularity advantage, but since Branch comes in at 250 lbs, Dorian has both the muscularity and conditoning advantage.

Maybe the comparison was about the torn muscles? ???
-
Brach has Dorian beat in all of these:
Way better chest
Way better quads & hams
Better conditioning, vascularity, hardness & dryness
Way better lines and shape
Better Arms.
Dorian has Branch on:
Way Better back
They both had great calves, good enough shoulders & shitty arms
and Yeah, I always say that Branch is a better bodybuilder than Dorian overall.
-
;)
-
he looks fucking awesome in those pics.

Wow ... you need to get your eyes checked. I've never heard such bullshit in my life. Wow. Are you sure you know who Dorian Yates is ? Apparently not, my friend ...

Hahaha!
Credibility = Out the window.
I can only attribute the Dorian hate to the fact that Dorian bitch slapped your boy Levrone all over the place in his heyday.
-
he looks fucking awesome in those pics.
His best showing ever. Not a "fan" of his "physique" but those pics are crazy.

Are you actually kidding?

Dude hates Dorian badly cause Levrone never had what it took to beat him. :-*
-
I think it's accurate to compare the two , I've done it myself. In terms of heavily muscled frames with great density & dryness while not exactly being aesthetic they are comparable but that's about all

I fucking hate those tats, but the calves are beyond believe...why haven't they shrunk like the rest when he went off the turbo-gear?

Pretty sure he said that he always had em' even before he started...
Lots of people do that don't even lift. Genetics strike again.

Had Dorian ever had such chest & legs..?
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mC1TEdZ4gks/Ss2n3PS0CdI/AAAAAAAAAqE/fI25Nai7EpI/s400/Mr+Olymmpia+2009+Branch+warren.JPG)
Had Dorian ever looked that great from the front relaxed pose..?
(http://www.fitnesscollege.com/images/bb/Branch%20(front).jpg)
Had Dorian ever had such vascularity..?
(http://www.doublehnutrition.com/images/ath-branch-pic.jpg)
So, each one has something on the other and since Bodybuilding is based on opinions, I would go with Branch over Dorian. :D
