Title: BRANCH WARREN ON NEW MD COVER!
Post by: Steve Blechman on April 25, 2006, 08:23:08 AM
This guy's just so awesome and by far the most improved bodybuilder in 2006.  Second place at the Arnold Classic is a credit to him because, coming off his eighth place finish at the Olympia, a lot of people thought it would be tough for him to get into the top six.  Instead, he almost won it!  And that was a tough lineup.  He made such impressive improvements, he won the Most Muscular award and the fans love him.  Branch Warren has firmly established himself as trouble for the top row.  If there was ever any doubt as to what tier Branch might have occupied, it's been squarely put to rest.  He knows he has to bring up his back and he's spending from now until the Olympia focusing on it.  It's going to take him to the next level!

I disagree. He's not the most improved BB -- it's just that the judges are finally realizing how good he is. He's been looking that amazing for a couple of years now.

Branch's cover is one of the best we've ever printed.  The photo was taken by our exclusive ace photographer, Per Bernal, early on Sunday morning following the show.  Branch was leaning on the squat rack (you can see the bar in the background!) when we took the photograph.  As a result it made his legs look wider and bigger!  Plus the combination of Branch filling out from some well-deserved eating after the show and Per's incredible (and expensive) lighting, made for one of the most explosive photoshoots we've ever arranged.  The photos inside the issue are just beyond human.

Leaning on a bar will not make Branch's legs look any bigger.  ::)
Unless the individual is morbidly obese and fat located on the posterior portion of the thigh is pushed forward to the sides, the pressure from the bar will have no effect whatsoever.

All too true. That's the power of denial hard at work.

Fact: you are bald and you know you’re bald.
Fact: we know you’re bald.
Myth: if I wear this baseball hat, beanie, toupee, (whatever) no one will notice that I am bald.

It's photoshopped to the gills. If you look closely, Branch arms are as big as his legs. From what I heard from a very reliable source, they normally make the head appear a tad smaller, so everything looks that much bigger!
