Branch Warren's right lat injury (pics)

[akers1021]

if he doesn't cool it a little bit on his back training he will, i know this sounds crazy coming from someone who admires strength but there's no reason for any of these dudes to go over 315 on bb rows or 6-7 plates on t bars for full range reps.

I agree the weight these guys use now is just getting STUPID, the rash of injuries the last few year is just amazing....

come to think of it how many top guys have a BAD injury?

Branch
Coleman
Freeman
Tamila ( his whole Physique is an injury)
Who Else

[Rampage]

In that 1 post which compares branch before and after , you can see his legs improvment

His legs now resemble those of Mustafa.......amazing legs

DVD buyers demand to see maximum poundages.

[monstercalves]

lmao

yesssss this is it.......dvd buyers demand maximum poundages.....


but in actual fact this is not the case....seems like jay doesnt give a fuck....he just trains with no showing off

[trab]

I think that heavy weight builds a quality Cutler does not have.Even ripped.
I cant believe how long Ronnie lasted throwing plate like that.

yeah but anyone who is expecting to see strict form from Jay is going to be disappointed, Jay swings the weights more than anyone i've seen on just about everything.

Exactly right... this is the cause for most of  the lat tear and partial lat tears.  Keep it at 315-365 and these injuries can be avoided.  Too bad for Branch though, runner up last year and now out of the top 6.

shawn rays form is nice


and of course Arnolds is perfect

The human body can only take some much abuse,and will start to break down.

Maybe they should rename "Metro-Flex" gym down there where Ronnie and Branch train into "Metro-WRECKS DA FLEX"........

Maybe you should stop eating burgers at the fastfood franchise you manage in good 'ol Tenesse and actually start hitting the "Metro-WRECKS" for a change. Maybe this way you could break the 167lb barrier.

He has no seperation.  Branch looked better when he won the Europa a few years ago.

[400kwgtr]

Is Branches career over now? how do u come back from a injury like that? does he have massive surgery to repair it? can they even repair an injury like that?
 

[phyxsius]

Branch won't live past 40

Yeah but his upper body looks way better before those leg improvments

[Sir Bigness]

Shitty form = muscle tears. Coleman, Warren, Freeman, Platz, etc...

[Marty Champions]

dude has like no abdominal devolopment

[johnnytosh]

EXACTLY,
While I dont wish injury on anybody, he desrves this 100%.
After tearing his bicep "Curling" (heaving) 275 pounds, he tore his tricep, and now this..
Fuck all that Metroflex "YEAH BUDDY" macho horseshit..

Branch is STOOOOPID.. I hope he recovers...

that heavy, crappy form training was going to catch up to him sooner or later.

Now he has 3 torn muscles. One Bicep, one triep, and now his lat.

Better to train smart like Cutler.

[getfast81]

  Whoa heavy training works all the time.  These guys blow their wad precontest when it is very easy to blow a muscle or two.  All it is, is backing off precontest.  ASK my man Dorian YATES. 

[adipo8]

it looks like branch lost some size in his upper body and put on size in his lower body....The opposite of what he should be doing....That and his conditioning...

Ronnie rockel will beat Branch next time

[honest]

If only these guys would stop shootting 3ccs in each lat twice a week or if their going to, train lighter, nothing like a few ccs giving you that full feeling whilst you row 405 for reps then snap, good bye lat. 

[Petrucci]

Like someone said, guys who use heavy weights have a kind of physique and thickness others dont have...(Johnnie , Banch, Ronnie, etc)
 And lets get real people...people who use light weights and have great physiques (for a pro a least) HAVE to be genetic beasts....like Flex Wheeler for instance or maybe Gunter, and even those guys put some big numbers a lot of times...
 Jay may not force himself 100% to beat his records on weight, but he dont use 'girlie' weights either...he do go heavy, and after all, he is more of a 'volume' guy...And even the fact he do not use perfect form may be a thing that prevent him from injuries (just look at Dorian...Perfect form with lots of intensity led him to what???)
 Ronnie may have his injuries but have in mind the guy has like 15, 20 YEARS of heavy trainning...its not like he have a tear every year....
 Inhuman volume may work a lot for some guys (lee for instance, or maybe Milos?) and prevent him to have injuries...but this doesnt look to work for anyone....

[GoneAway]

Can you fix a torn lat?

[monstercalves]

yep same as any other muscle

tendon to bone

i suppose it would be more complicated than the common pec/bicep tears
