This is a pic from the 2004 NOC. He gets pretty damn shredded and doesnt really have any glaring weak spots. Does he need an extra 5-7bs of muscle to take a top show?

Another 3 inches.  You guess where the judges would prefer it.

Branch has no glaring weaknesses but for some reason he never really looks that "great.  Big, yes, but not great imo.  He kind of always reminded more of an enormous truck driver rather than a bodybuilder.

if he could get a little more back detail, fuller traps, and dry up his lower back i think he would be a fuckin force to be reckoned with.  ...maybe fuller biceps too.  THEN he would be a force to be reckoned with.

he has enough traps they make him look narrow! he needs more shoulders!

His only real weakness is his back, it's thick but severly lacks detail, much like Cutler earlier in his days.

Warren already looks very good.

The only thing I'd say is that his upper is 'only' very good, whereas legs are outstanding. So he could do with bringing up his upper body a little, mainly arms, delts and lats (not his chest, which is also top notch), while keeping waist under control, which is not easy. That should give him a better upper/lower body balance.

Just a little more back detail,and bicep fullness.The guy on here that said fuller traps is crazy.He"s got some of the freakest traps in bodybuilding,even better than his training partner JJ.Take a look at last months M.D.

better traps than Johnnie Jackson??  no way man.  Johnnie's traps are monstrous.  they look like horns from behind from the way they curve outward.  i'm sayin that the upper traps right at the base of the neck could be fuller and use more detail.  true, his middle back is already thick and dense, but no way is it better than JJ's.  on BFTO '05, when him and JJ were posing it was obvious that JJ's back is above and beyond like 95% of current pros.  BTW, i'm not knocking Branch.  the guy's a beast and he's one of my top 3 favorite pros right now.

Ditto brother, but there's something else he needs to bring up ...or grow, a gut. ;D

Branch needs more width and thickness in his back and a bit more arms wouldn't hurt either....help balance his chest and shoulders.....still this extremely nitpicky if you ask me.   As it stands Branch has already won 2 pro shows....provided he doesn't pull an Art Atwood or Nasser he'll be a serious Arnold contender soon and a definite top 6 and possibly top 3 at the O.   If Mike Francois can win the Arnold and NOC then Branch can win the Arnold and NY Pro.

If he had the same mass at a taller height, he'd go more places with his freakyness.

That's quite a lot of filters and processing there.
