Let's hear from Kai Greene!

There are a few good stories you guys could address from the NY Pro.

1) Should a guy with a major lat deficiency on one side be able to win a show?
2) Did the judges finally follow the synthol mandate and penalize guys with obvious injections?
3) Will Dennis Wolf, once he adds five more pounds to weak areas, be the next big threat?

1. I couldn't get a straigth on view but the right lat in the back dbl. bi and lat spread looked a bit small on Branch. However his chest and delts really overpower his arms in bi shots.

2.Who pray tell?

3. Is such a thing possible to add muscle to problem areas without growing more in strong areas? Also, I've never seen anyone "bring up" calves....you either got em or you don't I say but I'd love for Wolf to prove me wrong.

Here are a few. I hope the PBW hosts address this. branch looks unbalanced, yet he won.

240 - in one post you're saying he and Dennis have more muscle yet here you are implying he should of won. Who should have then - Dennis?

AVBG · « **Reply #6 on:** May 13, 2007, 12:07:36 PM »

How does Dennis Wolfe not place ahead of DJ & Branch Warren?

How on earth does Des Miller place in the top five with an upperbody so weak?

I think you're operating under the faulty assumption that I believe the man with the most muscle should win a bodybuilding show.

IMO the man with the best physique - a combination of size, shape, conditioning and symmetry, among other factors - should win the show. I think Branch had him outmuscled, but that torn lat should have cost him. Dennis James probably should have won, with Wolf second and Branch third IMO. Branch just didn't look the epitome of human muscle perfection - he was unbalanced.

Fair enough. He only appears "unbalanced" from the front poses in my opinion. Dennis didn't appear to be in the condition Branch was in.

What "other factors" would you say are needed?

Question for the show.

Why are guys with gyno placing in the top 4 and qualifying for the Mr O?

True that. Gyno is some nasty shhit. i remember that Ronnie had bad gyno when he first won the Mr O. Who are they having on tonites show? I think I'll have me a listen.

west coast willie, wtf you doing on the east coast bro

You know what many of the fans want to hear. Why would the judges put up Branch Warren over Dennis Wolf or Dennis James in first place. Based on the popular opinion on this Getbig.com board, and other boards, plus based on the phone calls, e-mails, and myriad of other forms of communication, the majority, over 85%, have said that Branch Warren should not have won the New York Pro.

It would be interesting to hear from some of the judges on what brought them to this decision.

This is not a knock off regarding Branch Warren, it is just what many of the people thought. Branch and his training partner are great people, and Branch is a great competitor, but people just want to know.

No one is saying Branch sucks or anything... it's not like he's Kamali... just that he clearly wasn't the best man in this show, he probably should have been 3rd.

Dennis Wolf got screwed!

Lift Studios · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2007, 10:44:36 AM »

Guess we won't be hearing from Kai on PBW any time soon.

240 is Back · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2007, 05:04:58 PM »

Bob starts with 3 lame Wolf jokes.

Bob, one would have won some chuckles. Three? Come on, man...

240 is Back · « **Reply #16 on:** May 14, 2007, 05:05:55 PM »

From the callouts - no one thought branch was the winner.

Dan and Bob were both shocked Branch won.

Bob had him 3rd to 5th.

Holy shit.... Bob agrees that Wolf should have won!

They agree that Dennis James is a loser.

Dan just said Wolf should have won the show in his opinion.

You can't knock on these guys for kissing anyone's ass, they go after what the fans want to hear.
