Branch was noticeably off the mark at the Olympia this year and his placing reflected that. He has assured me that he’s going back to his old way of doing things and promised a much-improved package for the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. In the meantime, I thought this month’s cover might help motivate him…the cover shot and 15-page leg workout was photographed the day after last year’s ASC. Branch placed 2nd behind Dexter Jackson. There’s no question Branch has some of the freakiest wheels in history.
