:-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
-
massive,not pretty,but he gets freaking conditioned for that size.
-
wow terrifying physique
-
tan seems to be a little off
-
He looks good only due to the photo editing.. not a fan
-
Tony,
Do you feel Branch is one of those guys much better in person than in pics?
-
Damn he is a little ball of mass and veins. Good conditioning.
-
Tony,

Yes definitely.
You cant grasp the density or hardness from pics.
Dorian was the same, much better in real life than pics.
-
Looks like a blob of grease. Is this what bbing is degenerating to?
-
is that what the judges in the IFBB want to see today?
bodybuilding has regressed from a contest of looking like a greek god to looking like the biggest pile of shit with vains and "hardness"... looks like a piece of dog shit that was left out for 3 days and dried up.

This board used to mock the Iron Agers. Now you are turning into them. The baton is always passed. Behold! It is happening even now.

This photo just showcases his disgraceful and injury riddled physique.
Torn Lat
Torn Peck
Right Quad has caught up to the left one.
Horrible Biceps and Triceps
This guy should not be a top 5 pro. He is proof how weak and talent-less the current pros are.
-
Apart from Branch's look it's amazing that the person who took this photograph thought it would appeal to others. Hell. I'd have deleted it and tried to get a better one. One that doesn't make him look like a petrified turd.

small everywhere, even legs now

Look like shit !
I hope this help! ;)

I still remember the AC with Flex, Levrone, Dillet, and Ray. All in the same show! Branch, wtf is this mess? Guy looked good as an amateur. Everything that is wrong with modern bb.
-

do you write homo erotica

Looks riddled with injuries.

"only now...at the end... do you understand!" ;D

I concur.
-
Bodybuilding died with the end of the 20th century - unfortunately. :-\
Sad state of affairs when the likes of Branch have become the standard in bodybuilding.
No aesthetics.
No symmetry.
The worst arms in BB.
He's got nothing but his left quad to stand by him.

'bout sums it up
-

I see no striations---vascularity doesn't mean "conditioned", if it did, then Dillet had the most "conditioned" chest.
-
LOL... when I was a kid I used to put posters of Arnold, Sergio, Larry Scott, kEvin, flex,.....In my garage gym. If this was a center fold in a bodybuilding mag, it would go straight in the trash can
-
I'm no photographer , but that is not a good shot of branch
Fancy lights, background and photoshop didn't help
He can look (marginally) better
-
Horrible HDR photo. Details are ramped up to 100%, contrast up to about 85%. Looks like he over did the High Pass Sharpening. Just plain horrible.
EL PACIFICO!

Sorry, but he looks at least 3 times better than a shit like Gaspary

Good morning Wes my NY brother. Are you craving an Ice Cold Genny?

Not at all my friend..............stay ing positively sober and enjoying a natural high!!

So this is the ideal muscular male physique?
Good grief
With not a hint of funny, the guy needs to retire. This and many other recent pics confirm just how wrong pro IFBB BB has become.
-
WOW look at that hard ripped Tricep
::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Very bad pic. His right arm looks like 12inchs. :-\

looks like a burnt turkey that got run over by an 18 wheeler and this is what's left of it's mangled corpse

Big Down hill looks to have better arms now then Branch
-
Considering his height his arms are 21 inch at most I bet :D

He looks just like your avatar.
If Cheech & Chong saw him, they'd say, "Looks like dogshit...smells like dogshit...must be dogshit. Good thing we no step in it."
-
looks like absolute shit, like a conditioned grainy turd. No lines, no symmetry no proportion, torn everything. The end of bodybuilding.

Branch reminds me of Chet From Weird Science

I have to say that there is some truth in your statement!
Gaspari was the Branch Warren of the 80' : just an horrible bodybuilder with crappy genetics and hideous shape built on a ton of drugs .
Comparing Gaspari with Branch is like comparing a cat turd to a dog turd,Branch is the bigger turd , but at the end of the day both of them are turd.
I would also add that Gaspari and Yates are the reason why bodybuilding took the wrong direction!

Yep.
But it seems to be natural to suck Gaspari's cock because he competed more than 20 years ago which give him the status of a "legend".
Just wait for about 5 or 10 years after Branch retires and you will see all the board prostrate themselves before his graininess in repeating "how bodybuilding was great during these days".
-
This picture is right up there with Palumbo's and Art Artwood. I think the judges are just deliberately destroying the cult now because they know how much of a joke it has turned into. No one after Ronnie under 5-11 should even bother going over 200lbs. They all (VAST majority) look like absolute shit. This sport is a fucking joke.

Gaspari had shit genetics but Branch will NEVER look like this. First thing, he won't be able to get his waist under 40 inches.

Branch looks like utter shit, conditioned shit, but shit none the less.

Only idiot will give Branch a status of a "Legend".
Branch is shit now and will be remembered as shit in the next 20 years,just like Gaspari was a shit then and still remembered as shit now!
By the way this is how a bodybuilding "Legend" should look like! ;)

Bullshit.
Coleman was one of the most controversial bodybuilder 4 or 5 years ago only, now he is considered as the best bodybuilder who will never be equaled by the entire board (with the help of the prophet GH15 ).
The ugliest Mr Olympia Dorian Yates is the "most complete Mr Olympia" ever.
I don't even mention a creepy physique like Tom Platz who is regretted every day with all his generation.
etc...
Just wait for a few years after his retirement and you will see how Branch will be admired like the guys cited above. It will be the same scheme for Jay, Phil and all the bodybuilders you currently hate.
-
Even the average jackass off the street who thinks that "bodybuilding is gay and for fags" can't deny that most men would kill to look like this and admire this type of physique.

I'll never forget when I was in Barnes and Nobles once and overheard this couple looking at a magazine with Branch Warren on the cover.
The woman asked her boyfriend or husband "Why would anyone want to look like that?" his response "No kidding, that looks disgusting and probably hurts"
This was the cover...

Even in your offstage pic he still looks like nothing with his torn lat, short arms etc...
There are dozens of photos of Branch warren onstage looking 100 times better than this mess.

Never seen so many smashed assholes in a so tiny shit bag.
At least, Nubret is dead and can't watch this mess :-X

Related to bodybuilding covers, anyone notice how crappy the Flex covers have been lately? Just got the most recent one with Phil Heath on the cover and it looks like piss-poor photography and presents a body and image that very few people would want to emulate. (Even hard-core BB's.) It's no wonder that the BB mags keep going back to the Arnold photos. They are much more interesting, more well done and feature a look that many men wouldn't mind copying.

Palumbo said in his podcast that Branch could win the Olympia.
The sad part is he could lol.

i hope it rains again a week or two before the Olympia...

That is the part that I just cannot understand. I get why MD fags keep repeating that Branch deserved to win, that he is a true warrior and shit like this. They are obviously paid to do so, they push reality upon weak minds. Have you noticed that most of those magazines do good old jedi mindtrick on people? They keep repeating that judges did good job so people that cannot think on their own just parrot what they say. That's why Jay Cutler won Olympia so many times for his "width" despite having horrible waistline while Ruhl who was twice as wide as Cutler didn't place so high because he had "no triceps and aesthetics" (while Cutler got no arms at all and looks just as disgusting).
For everyone that can think on his own most frustrating fact about judging is not the fact that Branch Warren won, because there are criterias based on which Branch could have won but the fact that every criteria I can think of that explain placing on last Arnold classic would make guys like Kefalianos place way higher than they did. So obvious conclusion is that every competitor is judged on different criterias. Branch is praised for his "freakish" look so when he comes freaky and disgusting it's good, but this doesn't apply to anyone else.
-
Fuck judging criteria,anybody with a pair of eyes can see he looks like shit.

I really like you wes but no offence, people thinking like you really caused whole problem. In order to cure bodybuilding we need transparency and clear judging criterias. Judging panel should write conclusive summary every time after competition with detailed scoring on every pose, every bodypart, everything that is relevant and detailed description why given competition received given amount of points for given aspect. I know many people would not even bother to read that because they are mathmatically illiterate and are afraid of reading many numbers and analysing data but there is whole bunch of people like me within bodybuilding that could analyse that data and give you my opinion about it. Now that they are completely in the shadow they can do literally whatever they want without really explaining shit to people.
