Looks like those inclines were going to crush him
Like I said after watching levrone, Ronnie and Dorian nothing really impresses

Those inclines look painful he just kept dropping the bar on his chest...
branch will be an ego trainer till he dies he doesnt know how to train anyway different, ive seen coleman on bfto 2002 using only 315 only for incline presses nd decline presses.. even though he can do a lot more he realises hes close to his show ... branch cant do .... too much ego
his set with 315 was bad ... but his ego made him put another plate on... and proceed to not even heget a full rep but drop the bar on his chest .... he honestly look like he was gonna die..
nearly 40 yrs old training like a ego filled 20 yr old...
even after all those injuries....
how sad
-
WORST FORM I'VE EVER SEEN ON INCLINES EVER

insanity (not in a good way)

Branch CLEARLY is the kind of guy who doesn't learn from his mistakes. That kind of training is just rediculous. Where's his head at ???? Jesus christ.

wasnt ronnie deadlifting 800 2 weeks out from the olympia???
-
Ronnies form wasn't perfect but branch takes it to a whole another level, branch clearly couldn't handle more than 315 on those inclines..
Everyone should train like Shawn ray

are you referring to tearing his tricep when falling off the stairs?
or about tearing some leg muscle falling out of his oversized truck?

Oddly enough, the safest place for Branch might be in the gym. He should consider moving down to Metro-Flex until the Arnold, so he can avoid any household accidents.

so what does that tell us? that his training method is safer than it appears?
i seriously do not understand any of this, it is baffling
also he does not appear to be as strong as he used to be?
-
It would be interesting to see him spend one year training with Dorian's form and style (not even with HIT) and see if even though it's all drugs could he bring a winning package? Esp for his back. But these guys are creatures of habit sometimes. Atleast like you guys are saying, so close to a show is it worth doing 1/2" ROM 200lb dumbbell presses. I took motrin after watching his incline pressing.
-
ASC may be his this year.
...
what have you guys won?

His strength is down, but probably because he's so close to the show. We haven't seen his back, but that's where he's had trouble being watery and thick skinned. From the front in a tank top, with sweats on, he's looking like a contender.
-

...

Valid point. What is your take on his training style, being so close to a show(possibly depleted), and with his past tricep injuries? Too much to lose this close to the show. We're talking 100+k. I would just atleast tighten up form at a minimum. I respect Branch, but imagine an entire year of meals/lifting/gear for nothing.
-
5 and a half weeks out
-
He has the worst form ever. No wonder why hes always getting hurt. Whats with doing heavy weights when your can only bounce it off your chest.
-
When he is inclining 4 plates, why doesnt he put clips on? Does he like when the plates clang against each other because it makes him "hardcore"? what an idiot.
-

thing is that actually look like it hurt....
thats not a bounce he was dropping it on his chest...
and could not lock or even go hlf way with one rep... which is understandable i guess as hes close to a show..
why not just stick to 315....
because of ego.. he cant help himself he has to go heavy ..even if he cant do it...(at the time)
sad for a man nearing his 40s
-
All I can say is he looked like a fucking beast when he dropped down to a tank top. Holy SHIT.

more convenient for his drop sets perhaps?

Remember your Weider principles!
FULL RANGE of MOTION ::)
Branch proves it (and many, many others) ...NOT important.
Train however you feel it best, where you're your strongest. Fuck the rules if the rules don't apply.

it matters if you don't want injury.
-
hes not weaker he did heavy db before he even did incline. also barely any rest
-
HIT is a crock of shit.
Volume = growth (see video)
-
-
pecs look a foot thick.. :o
-
He needs to be careful, he might tear a muscle when he farts.
-
Wish they'd show some proper gym etiquette in those videos...
-
this is publicity, kids love this stuff, now he'll sell more DVDs
-
these morons should upload on youtube not on that shit md site

;D ;D ;D

There is a 6'1 270# black belt and trains MMA at my gym, that would bitch slap him for throwing the weights down like that.
Not if he's not the gym's owner, I bet. I'm willing to bet your 270lb black belt might cut a little slack for of the top IFBB pro's. (And on a related note, he would also probably keep quiet if Ubereem came to the gym and started throwing weights, too.)
-

What injuries did he get from training?...wasn't his leg thing from slipping on ice?
What about Cutler's bicep injury?...with like a 25 pound dumbell?
I hear what you're saying, I'm just saying that you can train as strict as Dorian and still end up like him. You can train like Ronnie and end up like him. Both were multiple Mr Os, both trained very differently.
People gotta figure out what works for them. Yes, Branch's form looks terrible. But what does HE look like?...like a beast.
There's plenty to learn from the pros. If anything over the years, the 'textbook' way to perform exercises is not the best way (nor is it categorically the safest) to get muscle mass.
All things being equal, if a guy on gear trains like 'shit' and a drugfree guys uses the same form, what makes us think that it won't work for both? People gotta figure this shit out for themselves. Start with a textbook, but if it ain't working, then do whatever it is that allows you to get the most intensity outta the movement.

No he would say if they are that big they should be able to handle the weight, like he does. You are most likely right about Overreem bc he would kick the guys ass, but Branch would be shit out of luck.

ass sweat during the warm up :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
-
horrible form
-
retarded bouncing off his sternum
-
I was really hoping to see that 45 fall off the bar and really add some excitment to his day!!!
-

And your point?
Anyway ...
1. AGAIN with the "Welcome to the Jungle"! Does this gym just have one cassette on endless repeat?
2. His inclines with 405 look beyond shitty
3. He looks impressive in a tank (no homo), all pumped.
-
My point is slamming your weights down dosen't make you tough or hardcore, just stupid. Agreed he does look good in the tank top.
-
juruth is going to be all over this shit

If youre scared of gut grinding, balls to the wall, sweaty men, you will be scared! Branch brings it!

okay so i braved it, does like 6 different back exercise ALL rowing except one LOL. I guess we can really expect bracnh to bring up his 'back thickness' this year. It's also been rumored that he's gotten a doctors prescription this year to add inches to his height and repair his torn knee ligaments, watch out!
-
it was a little less herky jerky than i expected....
his chest and shoulder workouts are hard to watch

He just has to make sure there are no big trucks or ice around. Both are hazardous conditions for Branch.
-

agreed. watching him train shoulders or chest is painful. His arm workouts are pretty bad as well.
-
and the stupidity continues.........
so we wonder why those outside of the bodybuilding world scratch their heads and say hmmmm when they see this kind of activity live in person at the gym or on the internet. JJ and Warren are two truly professional Bozo's.

this guy is beyond stupid. you just wonder why he has so many injuries... ::)
poor ROM and way to heavy weight.
also what is with no clips on the barbells? Unless your doing superset heavy and light, you should be using at clips. to mention form has to be good. you can see he is just bouncing up and down and the plates are nearly falling off.
stupid bodybuilder and will never be a mr olympia

He doesnt use clips because he wants the weights to clang together. Nothing more hardcore than metal on metal smashing together for an ultimate sound of ferocity and intensity.
When I train, I just load up the bar with a bunch of 10's and 5 pound weights. Love to hear them clang together. Gives me a chill down my spine.
-
I tore both my biceps and my rotator cuff just 80 seconds in.

I got a hernia :S

JOJ is out of his mind to play this game with Branch, given he doesn't have any visible injuries. Branch is a little man out to prove something, which means you get injured fucking with him. I, 5'10", trained with this little 5'5" Russian dude years ago, and the midget fuck tried to get me to load 4 plates each side bench press when my chest responses quite well to 2-45s each side. I guess it's those 1/2 negro round belly genetics. ::)

branch seems to have jacked it up a notch. top 3 asc.
-
Funny how he uses a neutral grip bar to bench press and struggles with 275lbs.
Prob couldn't flat bend 350 for 2 clean reps

The 180lb dumbbell presses before that don't count?
-
Branch spotter looked a lot bigger,,,looked like 5'9 - 5'10,,,250lbs
The 180lb dumbbell presses before that don't count?
Don't forget branch started of with heavy flat db press, then heavy incline ( 315 for reps) and then finally bench press.
-
it irked me seeing him not use collars on his 405 inclines and have the weights flopping like a flacid penis during his bouncing off the chest set
-

if he had done 1 clean rep, maybe... ::)
-
Branch is so short that he has to rest the plates on the floor between each rep on barbell rows. He need a booster block to stand on.
-
he trains like such an asshole
all those rows are just working his biceps
-
when you seen him doing those chest supported rows with such shitty form it explains why his back sucks and looks melty. Him arms are fuck'd.
-
the douchebag doesn't believe in proper form, oh fuck i remember how i used to admire assholes like him in my teen years and my father made fun of me.....needless to say he was right
-
I can only imagine the joys of working out in a gym full of high school kids imitating their heroes... ::)
-
2012 asc winner
And if he doesn't get hurt getting off the toilet or watching tv, 2012 mr olympia!
-
he will tore his psoas trying to put his thong.
-
He wasn't using clips because in that particular set, it WAS a drop set...dude behind him quickly threw off a plate, but it woulda fallen off anyway.
Just sayin.
-
So umm lets get this straight..A bunch of internet twinks are trying to tell the ASC champ that he's doing it wrong? ::)
Keep reaching for that rainbow boys

Some of you guys are fuckin' hilarious. I can't stop crackin' up readin' some of these posts ! Hahahahahaha ! :D :D :D
