Title: The new MD has me PISSED - comparing Branch to Dorian!
Post by: The_Iron_Disciple on April 29, 2011, 04:23:47 AM
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. ?

 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.

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.

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 !!

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 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.

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.
