Spot on

The ONLY thing these two have in common is their passion for liftin' heavy, heavy weights. Other than that, forget about it !! LOL !! Mike blows Branch out of the water 10 / 10 times. There is NO edge. None ! Lol !
I will reiterate though ... the ONLY time I've been a Branch fan is just before he turned pro. Now THAT was a physique worth talkin' about !

Mike Francois... stood right up there with Dorian and Levrone... and held his own.
The "kind" of muscle back then and this new wierdness in musculature are like comparing volkswagens to Ferraris.
A completely different look and a completely different production plant.

FRANCOIS !

Still unknown. Cayenne pepper can help with the digestive tract. I'm also hearing many people who have taken Accutane are having colitis type symptoms.
-
LOL @ "slight edge" !! ;D

...I've heard that a lot of the problems with colitis are emotional issues and there effects on the digestive system. Used to train a stripper who had it.

Pics or it never happened! ;D

Francois - looks like a juiced out mega bouncer.
-
Front Double biceps - MF
Front lat spread - MF
Side chest - branch
Side triceps - branch
back double biceps - MF
back lat spread - MF
ab and thigh - branch
most muscular - MF
Mike Francois wins the muscularity round. Also, he's harder so that helps his cause.
If it came down to a symmetry round, no contest - MF is far more symmetrical, proportional, and pleasing to the eye. His legs weren't too big for his torso (unlike BW), his arms were massive (unlike BW), his back was full, complete, and always tight (unlike BW).
Branch does have better pec development. And more complete hamstring development, and better structure to his abdominals. That's about it.
Francois by a country mile.

Too bad that Mike was all fucked up inside at that time. He was already in a lot of pain from his Colitis and whatever else he had. He was shitting blood and had all kinds of nasty physical and mental ailments affecting him when he was competing at that time..
He just wasn't aware of how severe it was and that his career was almost over.
-
... any pics of what Francois looks like today?
-

Bingo!! ;)
-
I saw Mike guest pose a few times and win the Arnold Classic. To me, he just didn't seem comfortable in his own skin.

Seein' these pics of Mike makes me want to up my dosage ! Lol. He just looks incredible. Just so thick and dense.
-
Still has some big ass calves.
-
i have met francios a few times and say he was friendly everytime. he has a show the mike francios classic every year around may i believe..its up a above columbus ohio
-
branch destroys him from the waste down. and has an obviously thicker back. Francois biceps are superior. much more peak. and aesthetics go to Francois, but most of that is determined by genetics anyway.

Largely true, but I wouldn't say Branch's legs destroy Mike's. Francois' wheels were among the very best of his time. And there were some guys with killer legs then (Demayo, El Sonbaty, Dillet, Munzer).

Actually, I am more fond of this Francois..

Does he admire Gene Simmons?

He NEVER felt "comfortable in his own skin" due to his internal pain and his religious convictions.
-
Seriously?!
Francois destroys Warren. Not even a contest.
And to anyone who thinks Branch's wheels are better than Mikes, get a grip.
-
really close,mike had better structure and arms,pretty close everywhere else.

Dude was a monster, of that there is no doubt..
