That is a terrible physique. Very close to palumboism. Just looks unhealthy.

He is probably a nice guy in the real world but in this picture he looks like something that just dropped out of a worm infested dog's butthole.
Bodybuilding is so pathetic these days.
-

Looks like a turd and ironically it looks like he's in the middle of squeezing out a turd. Phenomenal athlete and equestrian nonetheless

somebody shoud photoshop a rose in his mouth and a woman in his hands. It's time to Tango

He has been getting over inflated placings for about five years.

Arnold is going to be pissed.
Wonder when someone's going to tell him ::)

Torn his body to pieces.
-
He had a great run; it is past time to retire. Going down in flames is not the way one should be remembered. Bay used to likey. :P
-
Torn his body to pieces.
Nearly as many torn muscles as me... :-[
He can't really expect to keep placing well
With how his body is going.
He had a Good Run, time to go out on top.
Well near the top.
-
Is he made of the same material as these two?
-
:-X
Agreed, he was robbed for that 2nd place. Should have been 1st.
-

Dude placed second at the Arnold Classic... hes at the top of the game...
-
Its like they're sinking bodybuilding on purpose promoting Branch. He's fucking atrocious. If I were Arnold I'd ensure that look wouldn't place top 10. Stop this shit!
-
Well deserved 2nd place, in real life things are completely different to what the pic shows. Dex was the only man better then him at the night. Great show, and completely agree with the judges. Didn't see booty, saw the man, great show.

haha, well deserved 2nd place. Horrendous back. Right lat is atrophied, his mid and lower back is non existent. His forearms are completely atrophied and withered to nothing. His triceps are starting to go and his biceps look like shit. Yes, he looks so much better than Cedric McMillan :-\

Arnold disagrees with you

thats the propaganda for both branch and phil...you gotta be there in person to witness the miracle.
-
The second place finisher at the ASC received US$75,000. That is a lot of money if undeserved.

Welcome to getbig Branch. You are a great athlete. :)
-
Love seeing branch placing high, it pisses everyone off ;D
Fuck that cock taking homo cedric mcwatermelon
-
branch is a devoted christian. a hunter. a hard worker. a caring, sharing, loving man.
of course he deserves 2nd. at least.
-
dude wont live long.
-
Twisted and compressed. Looks like a syphilitic Nibelung dwarf from Wagner's Wring Cycle.
a classical music fan, i'm impressed... :D

i hear he's a good equestrian as well.... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
looks like manure as always
stage two palumboism, it's plain as a day now
-
His musculature is deteriorating. It's as plain as the nose on his face. Too much for too long.
That he continues to get placings SO beyond his form is a travesty for the IFBB's integrity.
-
Just maybe the judges are following the leader. If the head judge puts the top three in a lineup then that is how you vote if you want to keep judging.
You can see this in the call outs. I didn't watch the Columbus ASC finals because I saw that Branch was going to be top three again.
Manion and Steve W have to go as well as all the stooges who do as they are told. I well remember one contest in New York where the judges were being
introduced and each one was booed. Big Steve stood up and challenged the audience to a fight. Now that guy is supervising the judging. We remember when
he lamented the time in 1983 in Las Vegas when the judges placed Bev Francis 8th in Pumping Iron II The Women. Now it is his turn to have power and
I can't say he is handling it well at all. Heck, he wouldn't let Bev answer emails from friends! A control freak for sure.
Branch didn't deserve to be in the top 8!!!
-
Horrible structure, but his conditioning is winning..
-
Horrible structure, but his conditioning is winning..
Well, that seems to be what the judges use to separate the men. However, I don't see anything about Branch's physique that is praiseworthy.
The ugly veins, the paint tan, lumpy looking muscles, bottom heavy proportions, left and right out of balance and just plain unaesthetic.
I really would like to talk to the judges about his placing. Of course, that won't do much good.
When I heard that 5 of the judges were imported from America I knew we were going to get the same result as Columbus.
So it appears that the promoter has to go along with what is decided above and give the officials free trips to Australia. Must have cost
a fortune to stage the event. In the past it seemed that the Aussies always were independent when it came to judging.
-
From this moment forward, whenever I hear the phrase "Smashed Asshole", I will think of Branch. Glad I went on Saturday & not Sunday when he was on stage.
He should really take up bowling or darts.
-
Sadly, if he was simply bigger and more conditioned he would win. Biggest conditioned glob of shit = win. Nothing personal against him. He used to have a great physique.
-
way back..
-
way back..
He never had the best put together physique.
Though he does look better in that pic.
Looks like he also never had much forearm development.

Funny - Branch looked great at the Arnold, but you found a terrible pic of him. That is why it is different when you are at a show

In this pic I took, Branch looked incredible

Great pic Ron
Thx for posting it

Hard to tell from that small photo. I disagree, in the broadcasts he didn't look incredible to me.

X2. You make a very valid point.
In your pic branch looks a lot better.
There is also the strange phenomena
Of some looking so much better in real life
To in the pics.
Always found this with Dorian no matter how good he looked
In pics, He was far far better when you saw him in real life.
-
LOL at the apologists. Ron posts that Branch looks incredible and some people support him. I thought Getbiggers feared no man and spoke what was on their minds?
Why should we as bodybuilding fans accept this decision? I feel sorry for all the guys who should have placed ahead of Warren. Unbelievable what kind of nonsense
occurs in the IFBB/Pro League. Is Manion's position an elected one? What about Weinberger? Everyone involved in that decision should be ashamed. You,
collectively, have reduced pro bodybuilding to a joke. Oh, yeah, who is responsible for the boardshort idea in Men's Physique? More nonsense.

I'm glad Arnold was critical of the judges.
They suck.
-
I watched McMillan pose in Columbus via the net. I was surprised to see him duplicate many of Arnold's poses, especially the 3/4 front and back.
Cedric might be more impressive than Arnold was. So it is no surprise that Arnold is impressed with Cedric's physique.
Justin Compton looked good, too. Of course, the damn judges seldom reward those newer guys until they have 'paid their dues'. Did Weinberger ever get
up on stage in posing trunks? Manion didn't have a great career as a bodybuilder. Darn, how I dislike the jobs for the boys forever system in
the IFBB. They don't publish the judges scores any more so the system lacks transparency. They also use a method of deviation to rate judges.
In other words, if Weinberger puts three guys together then this is how you place them. The top six competitors are rejudged at the finals so this is the time
when mistakes can be corrected. Why do they need to be judged twice? Okay, it is great for the audience but why have the lengthy prejudging then?
Since judges can talk between those sessions we can kiss independence goodbye.
Integrity has long been absent from the Pro League. Controversy after controversy and more of the same in the future.

In the main poses Branch looks great. He's big, his structure is good and he is very conditioned. He doesn't make the rules. His torn muscles don't look too good and people are complaining he's gone downhill....the body is going to change over the years especially if you get bigger, he's not doing too bad. At least he comes in shape, no bloated stomach......

YES AND NO ,,PROBLEM IS LIKE RONNIE THE MASS IS THERE THE CONDITION IS THERE,ITS THE MELTING OF BODYPARTS INTO EACH OTHER WITH BLURRED LINES THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME AS THEY GET BIGGER ECT...
-
Cedric looks awesome and I like his enthusiastic appearance on stage, a great ambassador.
-
Branch's wheels are crazy....dude has tree trunks for legs
-

Yes, but his torn quad looks smaller than the left quad adding to his bad symmetry. His arms are weak, has a thick waist and he looks terrible in the back poses.
People are confusing his "melted" look for definition.
-
Let the photos do the talking.
-
no, branch looks like shit!
small stature, torn lat, tri, quad.
the ridiculous "working man" gimmick tops it off.
-
Let the photos do the talking.
Including the video where he pats another man on the booty and then takes a camera from admiring schmoe, sicks it down his posing trunklettes and snaps a photo of his schlong for the slobbering suckophant?
Character matters. Being a manslut is a total lack of character.
-
Darn, I dislike all that distracting staging. Bring back a plain background without those awful coloured lights.
-
Once the forearm atrophy kicks in, you are done IMO. Branch's body is wrecked. Seems like the forearms and triceps are the first body parts to start resisting or rejecting the drugs, which ironically goes hand in hand with developing palumboism.
-
Compare Cedric to Branch. What a contrast.
I cursed the lighting guys. What is with that purple/red colour?
-
always take kafelianos over branch

AGREE,,guy looks good,has some structure issues otherwise solid bber..
-
Is he made of the same material as these two?
Haha - awesome!
Branch looking pretty bad now. He may look great in a fatter mode, but that lean his body is done for. His name won 2nd place.
-

And Kefalianos was placed dead last after Beyeke who looked like he was 12 weeks out.

Vince hates IFBB since 1975, hey Old Fatso who is forcing you to follow Ifbb Pro League ?.
If U don't like just piss off.

I agree, he is definitely superior to Branch Warren.
-
very strange placing for branch (the abomination)
seems to be a "nexus" between branch and the officials
the minds here would be put to good use and shed some light on the matter
hmmm.....
-
Can any of you appreciate the frustration of many of the big guys who place lower than they deserve? A guy like Cedric. A guy like Justin. Both placed behind the troll, Warren.
Damn, they must be totally pissed off. What is the point of those contests if they aren't fair? Beats me. Then we have Ron approving the decision. Bloody hell, he is part of
the problem. They give him press passes so he figures he owes them or something. To heck with taking photos at those contests.
How well I remember how they put Bev Francis 8th in 83 in Las Vegas. She was the clear winner by a country mile. The IFBB never let her win the Ms Olympia no matter what she did. That pretty much sums up
the IFBB. NO integrity. Jobs for the boys. Kowtow or you don't place high.
-
There is something very wrong with Branch Warren's pecs.

He was in great shape, like almost always, but his posing is hurting my eyes. He needs to learn things like posture and to slow down his poses.

he poses fine, hit the shots, looks good and is placed last. blows branch out of the water.
