They look like they struggle with 225 already and don't even want to train legs.
But they are like ninety eight years old, their knees have taken a shit ton of damage so they can't have the same intensity in leg training.
I wish I could sell my soul to get some sort of metal exoskeleton like wolverine, that would be awesome, then I would bounce squat every day !

::) Strange / This looks like body destroying not bodybuilding ?

brutal 2 inch amplitude on all workouts except maybe squats lol

epic stared down at 225lbs pounds on the bar for squats ::)

I think the point is drugs + overall stimulus = size, not how you do the lifts

wtf did I just watch??? this proves that modern bodybuilding is all about drugs!!! period!!!!!!

please refer to Phil Heath leg workout 15 weeks out, where he was doing leg extensions and 4 plate leg presses

I'm sure their knees are that of a war veteran by now. I admire their determination to squat at all.
-
Has JoJ taken the oil road as well?
-
btw they're dong squats EXACTLY the way like Tom Platz showed David Hoffman NOT to do them ;D
-
Without being unduly mean, these twats truly are shit squatters.
I'd go tow-to-toe with Branch ANY day, and I'm 100-percent drug-free, too.

As Big Daddy Kane once said: "Ain't No Half Reppin'"
Not even coming close to tops of thighs parallel to ground territory.

3:35 Mark OH BROTHER!!! ::) Chalking the Bar, Chalking his back, for 405 squats while having a spotter behind him ::)

Then explain Branch Warren's legs, as he's doing the same thing.
You do realize these guys have each won multiple pro shows and placed top 10 at the Olympia multiple times, with Warren a heartbeat away from winning it all in 2009.

Jay won with a perfect score, hardly a heartbeat away.
he was only one point in front of Dexter.

Dorian won with a perfect score in 1994, too. I rest my case.
Warren beat one Mr. Olympia and came close to beating another.

Warren beat one Mr. Olympia and came close to beating another.
What case, in both shows the winners won with perfect scores, thats where the judges placed them, no amount of handwaving is going to change it.
Branch didnt 'nearly win' in fact he only just scraped 2nd.

I know that's where the judges placed them. Some of those same judges have give perfect scores to Phil Heath. And, you know how well that goes over.
The point is Warren's leg training is appaerently effective, as it got him that high at the big O and in the top 10 multiple same. Jackson has placed top 10 multiple times, too.

agreed mate, any kind of intense stimulus will allow the muscle to grow, the muscle doesn't know sloppy form and half reps from perfect full reps.
The joints and tendons may suffer because of the ultra heavy weights though.

Especially with age. I don't do as many superheavy sets as I did 10 years ago.

Me too, I use strict form on all exercises and keep my reps quite high 12-20 sometimes more.

Brian's voice behind them and this looks like the exact rack Ronnie did 8 plates a side on....I couldn't watch it fully. Bit like trying to get excited about the Paralympics after watching Bolt in the 100m.

1/4 reps of peace. Seriously why bother doing an exercise if it can't be done properly with manageable weight.
Not sure what was more embarrassing; Johnny on leg press or Branch and his parking lot lunges.

this proves its all drugs and how individuals respond to them......the fact that Branch has won the Arnold twice and 2nd at the Olympia s\ays more about the sad state of judging in the IFBB than it does about the man's grotesque physique.

That mentality makes people think the only reason they're not Mr. Universe or Mr. O is lack of syringes. All the steroids on planet Earth won't turn Justin Beiber into Brock Lesnar.
If it were all drugs, there'd be way more Mr. Olympias, ASC champs, and Mr. O runners-up.

I agree
I don't like branch's physique but he's got good legs , his legs actually over powered his upper body big time in his earlier yrs

U could say since bbing is a "cult" with not many kids interested in it like a real sport like football, basketball, baseball, etc... I'm also willing to bet not many mentally sane people are willing to pin themselves boatloads of drugs everyday, every few hrs
Real athletes with real genetics are guys like usain bolt, Michael phelps, Kobe Bryant....
I'm willing to bet that if bbing is more mainstream with kids growing up wanting to take this "sport" up u would def see more flex wheelers and levrones but we all know that'll never happen

They do actually stress the muscle quite intensely.
Partial movements under constant tension at the end of a normal set are perfect for pushing the muscle that little bit further.

I bet in Ronnie's closet he has shirts ranging from medium to large to XL to XXL to XXXL

All downhill starting with Jonnie's last set of squats.

Fighting to do 15 reps with two plates each side? With the shitiest form ever? Maybe they are trolling viewers.

You're associating "real" genetics simply with the popularity of certain sports/venues (i.e. basketball, track, football, etc.).
Bodybuilding's lack of popularity isn't so much about steroids. It's about the concept that bodybuilders don't do anything with the muscles they have except pose and flex.
I'll give you a classic example. One of my best friends was a big wrestling fan, just like me, when we were kids. His favorite was the Ultimate Warrior; mine was Hulk Hogan. Big muscular wrestlers were cool to us.
In 1992, I went to his house to watch the WBF championship, since I didn't have cable at the time. I had to give his dad $15 to order the event. He watcked all of two minutes of the championship and bounced. Previously, he'd complained about all the WBF promos that were aired on WWF Superstars and Wrestling Challenge.
Bodybuilding was boring to him and he didn't see the point of it.
And, let's not forget about American Gladiators. There were top amateur men's bodybuilders and IFBB pro female bodybuilders who were the stars of that show, including....
Case in point: Billy Smith, the bodybuilder was basically unknown. As "Thunder", the American Gladiator, he was on TV every week for years.

why do bb always make so much sound when they train? Weightlifters double the weights and are all quiet and calm when they train...

When you've trained only a few years, you call bad form. When you've gained experience you realize that they're not locking out or breaking parallel. Why? Because it keeps constant tension on the muscles. You rest the target muscles when you lock out, and as for breaking parallel, this isn't powerlifting. Can you really argue with their results???
And before you say that other pros train different. Actually train with pros, or even in the same gym. Because at bev's, strong and shapely, steel, etc. You'll see them train the same. Sometimes don't be so quick to critique, and instead ask why.

Worst reps in the history of leg training. Jason Hu is laughing right now.

Arnold and Ed Corney doing squats in Pumping Iron. That's how it's done.
Yeah, because Arnold was hitting such depths in his reps, right? Arguably worse than Branch's.

We know Jackson's legs aren't his strongest bodyparts (muscle-wise, at least). The point is that he and Warren train similarly and have had much success.
The top pic was from Jackson's last win two years ago.

Look like a half squat half good morning
:-\
After over 30 yrs of training johnny can't do the squat properly he never thought to learn to do it right
Basically he I doing a half good morning his head goes forward and down perhaps creating the illusion in his mind that he's going low but he is not, not even to parallel, his glutes need to be going lower. I'm suprised a pro bber like johnnie didn't or won't take the time out to learn and execute his squats in a half decent way
All ego I guess

Maybe injuries? Most 40 year olds in my gym who are huge as mountain squat half assed with double wrappings. Maybe they have squatted with great form in the past but won't listen to their doctor who it urges them to stop squatting all together.
If they start to do female figure leg training they would probably lose the size they have

when you have to psyche yourself up for a 225 squat it's time to quit

Thing is take away the drugs off a bber and he's nothing , genetics or not
Take the drugs away from bolt, phelps , mike trout and those guys are still superior athletes
No matter what bbing relies very heavy on drugs compared to any other sport , u can't argue with that
All I'm saying is no one growing up wants to be a bber, if more kids wanted too , the novelty of "genetics" will wear off. There are more genetically gifted physique people than athletics that take skills like a kevin durant , Tim Duncan, Tom Brady , etc....
I wonder why bbing isn't that popular?? Hmmmm....
Dude one of the main reasons of "modern" bbing is the drugged up look, it is the STERIODS and freak show atmosphere. Show any respectable, average person branch, Kai, Phil

Hardly! Take Lee Priest for example. He won the Mr. Austraila three times before he could legally drink (in the US, that is).

I already explained that. The bodybuilders do NOTHING with their muscles, according to the average Joe. Again, I used my buddy as an example. Was he impressed with Gary Strydom or Jim Quinn? NO! Did he dig the Ultimate Warrior? ABSOLUTELY!!

If they did something tangible, besides flex and pose, they'd be more accepted. Again, look at the American Gladiators. Nearly all of them (male and female) were bodybuilders. Yet, because they showed other acts of athleticism, they were a huge hit in the late 80s and 90s.
ESPN still airs the World's Strongest Man contests, with dudes that make most IFBB pros look like shrimp. Yet, you hear very little about steroids in those WSM contests. Why is that?

Wow just wow!
I don't know what's more funnier , u actually think lee was natural . Haha. Aren't u the guy that thinks mike ashley is natural too?? ;D
No if U take all the drugs out of bbing they will look like average everyday people!
No steroids no competitive bber. Steroids is a must in bbing
Take drugs outta of real elite athletes and they are still head and shoulders above the average athletes
Physique genetics are plenty! No sane person is going to want to inject boat loads of drugs
Bodybuilding isn't really that special with the bragging about genetics , no normal person gives a shit for the competitive wearing thongs aspect , working out yes
I stand by what I said , if bbing was more popular with lots of prize money involved , u would see more "genetic freaks" and that novelty will wear off
There aren't many Kobe Bryant's, durants , jeters, Ronaldo's , messi's though
Bbing can't compare to those popular or not

Not even close!! But, if you want to believe that without drugs, Ronnie Coleman or Victor Richards Gunter Schlierkamp would look like the average bloke, knock yourself out.

One man's "boat loads" is another man's average dose. Listen to some of these ex-baseball players who talked about what they took (of course, after they retire and have nothing to lose).
Bodybuilding isn't really that special with the bragging about genetics , no normal person gives a shit for the competitive wearing thongs aspect , working out yes
What is it with this obsession with thongs? People thought bodybuilding was just as "gay" in Larry Scott's era, when the trunks were three times the size they are now.
Heck, the male physique guys get clowned for looking fruity and they have "shorts" that go clear past their knees.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that point. The issue is WHY!! Bodybuilders don't do JACK with their muscles. That is why they aren't accepted. Steroids are in all of those aforementioned sports. You can argue the semantics of use vs. abuse all you wish. But, the bottom line is that they're in the mix.
Rather than discuss that point, you want to take shots at me regarding my comments about Priest. Fine!
You can believe that both Priest and Ashley were injecting anabolics by the truckload, from the moment they started lifting cements weights from their dad's/brother's/uncle's garage. Does it soothe your ego to think that the only reason you aren't Mr. Universe is that you don't have the right chemist?
You just don't get it. Bodybuilding's lack of popularity has little to do with steroids. It has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that it ain't a spectator sport. You aren't going to get your buddies to break out the nachos, wings, and beer and park in front of the plasma screen to watch two guys trade most-musculars.
I don't care if it's Heath and Greene, Ronnie and Jay, Dorian and Kevin, Lee and Lee, or Arnold and Sergio. People pay to see something or someone get hit or thrown. People get why Brock Lesnar is nearly 300 lbs. They don't get why Big Ramy is such.

Check JOJ's traps. Probably the best there is right now.
And he had legs when he turned Pro as well.
