Author Topic: What the hell happened to Branch ??? (Read 5433 times)

I've been in basic training for the past month and have essentially been cut off from the outside world the entire time. As it happens, we were kicked off base to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving in the civi world.

I just checked out the Olympia results and saw Branch Warren took 12th. What the hell happened? A close second at the Arnold and all of that pre-Olympia hype to break the top 5 apparently didn't end well.

Was he injured? Did he forget his pro-tan at home? What's the deal?

Watery, fat, and yes, he did indeed forget his tan at home.

Probably burned out from the early season and guest posings...

Branch looked as if he took his contest prep lazy. F-ing lazy bastard

every time Branch does a pose he always looks like he is in pain. He has clearly has maxed out his body and is on the down side.
His body has zero asthestic beauty to it. And as others has said he looks old. JJ has training partner still has a youthfull look to him, you can't see that on Branch

Branch is finished, mark my words

I rarely say this but this really is a burned out body

if he continue this way, we are looking at Andrea Munzer take 2 $:-\$

Disagree.

why ?

- he keeps tearing every muscle on his body
- he got bigger everywhere since the ASC but his arms stayed the same, and it fucked his symmetry big time
- he hasn't been able to dry out correctly, something that never happened before ( from the look of his pre-contest pics, he should have been in shape)

trust me it's downhill from there, I'd bet my life on it
just look at his goddamn face, he looks like he aged 15 years in only 2 years

-He's torn a tri, and what else?
-His quads are predisposed to be big(ala Platz, De Mayo), his arms are bigger(took Jay a while to bring his up)
-He came in out of shape after a good year

I think he takes time off, comes back and makes an impact, I think its premature to cal him MunzerII.
Just burned-out.

Branch does have an awesome side chest pose, ever when he is off.

hifrommike · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2006, 02:41:00 PM »

Come on you guys, Branch didn't peak for the Olympia. So what? Ronnie & Dorian have both come in looking terrible & WON the Olympia in the last decade. Branch will be back, clouded crystal ball predictions notwithstanding.

IceCold · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2006, 08:00:54 PM »

i think branch is a bit burned out.

he did too much too fast. doing all those show aint healty for the body.

also, anyone else notice that he tore his right lat. much smaller than his lat one.

SWOLETRAIN · « **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2006, 09:45:57 PM »

Do you guys really think he is similar to Andreas munzer? What do you think his drug intake is like?

the shadow · « **Reply #22 on:** October 09, 2006, 12:29:30 AM »

the great tree trunk warren will be back..his peaking this year was bit messed up..but on the whole warren looks huge as hell..in the olympia he looked thick as hell..don't worry people this tank will be back with more guns and blazing...just wait and see

the fact he left muscletech probably had a small % to do with his placeing but he was still off
