I don't blame the judges.  The quality of competition sucks so much right now that there are no winners.  Neither Branch, Evan, or Dennis are worthy of an Arnold title at this point.

BULLSHIT

From: IFBB Professional Division
To: All IFBB Professional Members
Re: SYMMETRY & NATURAL AESTHETICS


Montreal, Canada, April 13, 2005: With a mandate from President Ben Weider, the Professional Committee and a team of expert advisors recently evaluated the issues associated with muscular development, such as size, shape, density, separation and definition, in relation to symmetry and natural aesthetics.

Certain objective criteria are involved in assessing symmetry and natural aesthetics in competitive bodybuilding. Of great significance are the qualities of balance, proportion and the overall “flow” of the physique, including classic attributes such as a dramatic “V-taper”; from broad shoulders and a wide back to a streamlined waist and a flat, muscular abdomen. In addition, there should be balance between upper and lower body development, and harmony between the left and right sides of the body. These characteristics have been the hallmark of a bodybuilder’s physique for decades, and it is the intent of this Advisory Notice to reaffirm their significance.

Distended abdomens and distorted muscles negatively impact upon symmetry and natural aesthetics and, therefore, detract from the overall physique. Athletes and judges are advised that muscle size at the expense of symmetry and natural aesthetics will not be assessed favourably.

Post by: bic_staedtler on March 04, 2012, 12:19:41 AM
I'll tell ya what.  Beyeke could have easily won this show if he showed up ripped.  Give him another year or two...as long as he doesn't turn into a Samuel Savior S-something, he could get up there.

Ever since the days of Ronnie, the genetics have become more and more concentrated into less critieria.  Today's top guys are nothing but 'parts'...nothing flows. 

There are very few people out there who are stupid enough (surprisingly) who would willingly do what needs to be done to be a top competitive bodybuilder.  I'll point to Phil Heath because as far as I'm concerned, he's the only legit guy out there right now.  The only guys who come close are the mass monsters who don't have the shape required, only raw mass.

So you get what you had here last week, which is the way they wants it!  ;D

We're going through the worst lull in truly impressive physiques in decades.  Dexter, had he been in better shape, should have destroyed these pretenders.  There's a big difference between his generation and today. 

Why can't any of these guys come in the extreme condition that they should be?...don't they realize this is the Arnold? 

And Wolf...forget about this guy.  If his unsymmetrical mess of a body is what's considered top notch, well, I don't know what to tell you. 

I do however think that Branch has the best story to tell, and I admire the hard work he does.  But no way is he anywhere near a Mr O calibre physique, yet now he's won the Arnold...twice.

What the hell is going on?  People are wising up to this crazy sport, and nobody with the right genetics (the new Flex Wheelers, Kevin Levrones, Dorians, the list goes on) would consider ruining their health for this cult of a sport.  No WAY Branch is like a modern Dorian.  No WAY this top three could beat the like of Wheeler, Levrone or even Nasser. 

Too many pro cards given to too many guys who really don't have the genetics to live up the champs of the past.

Strong as hell, bald, rocks a goatee, hot wife ::)  of COURSE, give HIM the trophy!!! ;D

Glad you're happy your guy won but if this is modern pro bodybuilding, then it's degenerated into a reality tv show where the winner is decided by all the unimportant things you mentioned (and his chest wasn't anything to boast about in light of those who came before him).

His right pec is messed up too, as thought.  How in the world Ronnie couldn't win #9 but this troll wins the Arnold Classic.  I'd like for Chick to explain this, since he was the one on the feed pushing Branch.  This guy has twice as many tears as Ronnie had in 2006.

BULLSHIT

From: IFBB Professional Division
To: All IFBB Professional Members
Re: SYMMETRY & NATURAL AESTHETICS


Montreal, Canada, April 13, 2005: With a mandate from President Ben Weider, the Professional Committee and a team of expert advisors recently evaluated the issues associated with muscular development, such as size, shape, density, separation and definition, in relation to symmetry and natural aesthetics.

Certain objective criteria are involved in assessing symmetry and natural aesthetics in competitive bodybuilding. Of great significance are the qualities of balance, proportion and the overall “flow” of the physique, including classic attributes such as a dramatic “V-taper”; from broad shoulders and a wide back to a streamlined waist and a flat, muscular abdomen. In addition, there should be balance between upper and lower body development, and harmony between the left and right sides of the body. These characteristics have been the hallmark of a bodybuilder’s physique for decades, and it is the intent of this Advisory Notice to reaffirm their significance.

Distended abdomens and distorted muscles negatively impact upon symmetry and natural aesthetics and, therefore, detract from the overall physique. Athletes and judges are advised that muscle size at the expense of symmetry and natural aesthetics will not be assessed favourably.

All inquiries regarding the IFBB Professional Division should be directed to:

they should let bb shows be judged by little kids....
1 they are honest...
2 a lot cheaper , so more pricemoney for the bb's
3 they have no agenda
4 do not yet have sexual feelings about oily men in thongs...
 
when i show my little nephew a pic of wolf.... he says wow cool... looks like a superhero....
when i show a pic of Branch.... he cringes and almost starts crying.....
that would be the judging system.... when the kids start crying... penaltypoints are given to that bb....
he who gets the most kids crying ,therefore will have the most points and finishes at the bottom....
flawless sysytem... and WIL result in a lot better physiques....  ;)

it's just his physique is horrible.... but it's the judges and powers that be that reward this look....
he is just doing his job, and doing it wel!
it's not Branch that kills bodybuilding ..... it's his physique..... and the people that reward what he is doing with it...
Branch is doing what he loves , and making money while doing it... so in that sense he is a winner...
but.... i have lost ALL interrest in PRO bodybuilding..... it sucks.....

None of the pictures I've seen impress me. Even Wolfe is lopsided,  one lat looks huge the other not so much. Evan....looks to have a wide waist, nothing really stands out, especially from the front and Branch just looks like a mash of bodyparts throw together and good conditioning.

Agreed. They all looked like shit so I didn't watch more than a few minutes. Its so annoying. They all carry loads of muscle but they look like utter shit. Evans arms sucked balls and his midsection is fucking horrible. Do they not realize that they look like shit. These are pigs wannabes on stage nit bodybuilders. Wolf and branch and evan all outweigh arnold by a ton yet they cant even get their arms to his size. Pathetic.

Branch Warren winning the Arnold Classic in front at Wolf (who should have been the rightful winner) is the final nail to the coffin!
When you think that he could get not worse than having "THE FRIGE" Cutler a 4 times Mr. Olympia ,than you have Branch winning the Arnold!
I had hope of Bodybuilding resurrection when Heat won the Olympia but now after this Arnold result I am convinced that the CULT IS DEAD!

-FUCK YOU IFBB JUDGES!

-FUCK YOU IFBB FOR RUINING MALE BODYBUILDING AFTER YOU RUINED FEMALE BODYBUILDING (they ruined when they made that hideous Kim Chivzesky Ms. Olympia)!

-FUCK YOU IFBB FOR CREATING THAT FAGGOTRY OF MALE PHYSIQUE COMPETITION!

-FUCK YOU IFBB FOR CREATING ALL THIS STUPID FEMALE CATEGORIES (FITNESS,FIGURE,PHYSIQUE)THAT REWARD BIKINY WHORES ON HORMONE AND PLASTIC SURGERY THAT HAVE NOTING TO DO WITH THE CULT OF BODYBUILDING!

he did not have a wide waist.... it was in good proportion to his shoulder width.....
marcus in his prime wipes the floor with Branch... kills him in every pose.... no contest.....
go look at pics from the 2002 NOC..... he looked amazing there... ridiculous!

I no longer call myself a bodybuilder. I'm a Zanebenfattobuchananbuil der.

Sadness is in my heart :(

just cause branch seems "hardcore" doesn't make him the biggest all drugs guy. Just cause . Evan is a "phiolospher" and Phil is always 'smiling dont fool yourself...'doesn't mean they abuse drugs as much, if not more than branch.

Please, Branch when he first turned Pro looked good. Now he has no arms, a good chest, bad back, wide waist, big legs which lack heavy detailing, good calves. And good traps. He is a human T-Rex...
And many of his muscles are torn now...
Regardless of what Phil is taking, he won in the 240 range...and Evan is 5'11, and is no philosopher--he's got fat boy genetics as well, and it shows. Regardless of what all three are taking, it is Branch that resembles the "all drugs" era, as he has nothing really going for him. He is beating bbers that are his superior in every way.

Its funny, because two short bodybuilders, and one looks like shit (branch) and the other, despite a lot of people disliking him, looks good (Priest)...Look how horrible branches structure is  :-\ :-\

why was it such a forgone conclusion Branch would win what politics are at play?

Bob Chick went on the record saying that Branch would win the Arnold.

Can you imagine the "athletes' rep" in any sport actually publicly predicting the outcome of a subjectively judged competition?

And the fact that he exceeded the amount of muscle his frame could handle.  A man of his diminutive stature is not designed to be that heavy.  The muscle has nowhere to go but horizontal.

Ban insulin and bring back the conditioned look! These guys look "hard" but lack striations and from a distance look smooth.

yes

They used to look good.


Bingo and it's not because it was my era hell the 80's was too but I think the guys peaked in the 90's. I accidently caught the last hour of the broadcast last night. Damn they should have televised the amateurs instead. No one who is 6 ft tall should ever weigh more than 250 on stage. No disrepect intended to these guys, but they need to drop all this other shit. Even Dexter is smooth compared to some of the amateur guys. When you are limited to a weight class all you can do is rely on conditioning. This is why you see some of the guys in the 202's so lean with tinier waists.

No wonder Branch and JOJ train together---both had/has some of the best chests in the business.
Now Branch looks like a gimp.

you can't compare these two. flex is all genetics/synthol anyway. it's not branch's fault he wasn't born with round muscle belly's like black people have. blacks and whites should be in separate categories anyways.

the difference here is genetics and conditioning. branch is more conditioned and has worse genetics which makes him look freakier (and less aesthetic). it's pretty simple really.

Well I'll agree with he first part, Branch conditioning is the best..... OF THE WORST. As far as shitting on the guys from the 90's you gotta be kidding. Branch has zero back definition along with some other body parts too.

i didn't say he plain shits on them. i said his condition shits on the posted pics. and it does. lets be honest. does he look better aesthetically? no, i'm not saying that. kevin had the best combo of aesthetics and mass ever—hence my avatar, but you have to give credit where credit is due and branch nails his condition every time. grainy hard and veiny all over.

Has nothing to do with bad structure, only bad injuries
his triceps seem different.... receding almost... they used to attach way more near the elbow it seems....
maybe he tore them both and that's why he oils them up??
