Branchs training intensity and work ethics in the gym is second to none. Unbelieveable considering he's pushing 50

He's also riddled with injuries, and if it wasnt for politics, he'd be out of the top 8 in most competitions.

Its not working for him.

Obviously he isn't using the Planet Fitness personal trainer form LOL.
He's kicking ass and pumping the fuk out his delts.
Love the music, the attitude and how he works out.
That motivates me a lot more then some twink doing perfect form with 20's and no sound

I believe Dex Jackson trains with Charles Glass from time to time. And so did Gunter as well. And a few others.

Yep

I'm no advocate of glass, expressed my opinion on her numerous times about him but if u are a bber it's pointless to lift like guys like Ronnie, branch this late in their careers, heavy here and there yes, but every other work out is pointless

I see a diff culture here in Texas compared to California imo, all these tx fools do are mostly ego lifting, branch and Ronnie had much to do with it I reckon

Love all these guys who champion using crazy heavy poundage for accessory-type movements but seem to not have a lot of motivation to use exceptional weight on a basic one like squats.

Branch does shallow reps on that exercise with 4-500 pounds. Considering his gear use, that's not too impressive.

Why not get your ass to the floor with 600 pounds, Branch?

Now THAT would impress.

It's easy to go bananas on dainty-ass movements that don't put one's ego/rep on the line. Cheat your ass off on laterals. Whoopie-do.

I think Charles Glass has a very good training philosophy. The man is still in shape and trains people.

Belted side laterals should be done early in your workout before any fatigue sets in to ensure safety.

Who cares if he trains like a "man." He looks like smashed asshole. He should have placed out of the top 15th.

Isn't he a millionaire with a trucking company or some shit? My guess is some of the judges get an envelope the night before prejudging in any show he does.

He owns his own freight company. I am sure he's a good business owner, but he sucks as a bodybuilder. Atrocious physique, and needs to retire.

Either the judges are getting money or something else.  :-X :-X

This guy would be lucky to have any cartilage in his knees, shoulders, elbows etc. How he hasn't completely torn his pecs, rotator cuffs, bicep tendons etc etc is beyond me. fuck, once he actually comes off the gear and finishes bb'ing he'll be in excruciating arthritic pain. Serve the fucker right, too.

Sucker's got that been-at-the-drugs-too-long withered look.

And as another says, and repeating what I've said several times, Twig is gonna be in horrible pain once he stops his mega-dosing. Gonna be scarfing whole bottles of analgesics daily when that time comes.

Branch is def hardcore to the max and i gotta respect that. One of my favorite pros, (yeah he looked like shit last year on stage), but bottom line hes still branch warren and has had many impressive shows in my opinion.  He took his genetics to the next level and beyond , isnt as lucky as some genetic wise.

Just the way he carries himself for a short guy is very impressive

What's the point in shouting "Light weight" and "All day"?? It's clearly not light weight and he's clearly not going to do them all day. Branch needs to have a word with him.


Love the Borat-level understanding of screaming gym folk.

He did look very good in his younger days. Now, Palumboism has well and truly set in and he's had multiple injuries and torn muscles. He should have called it quits years ago but as long as the judges keep placing him highly, he'll keep at it.
