The role HGH and IGF are playing in BBing is obvious.  What you get is a much more massive BBer, but what you are sacrificing is the crispness of the physique.  Look at all these guys as they earn their pro cards, they look hard and crisp, tkae Kamali for instance, then they load up on the HGH, IGF, and other peptides in odrer to size up.

Branch looked better before.

yeah with the exception of the arms i agree, he's bigger everywhere and his waist is just as small now.

He had better color and more hair. He looks like a red hot dog.


yeah but both of those are fixable, he could just grow some hair and ease up on the pro tan, the only thing i see is that his skin is thicker now.

Abs and Arms are better in the first.

Chest and veins are better in the second... I guess it's a toss up.

Worse. He's thicker but not immensely so and his abs are not as tight as before. He had really good shape/thickness in 99. The only thing he needed was a thicker back - nothing else. And he hasn't done that.

His back actually is in better propertion here than it is today.


Today


Looked really thick, well proportioned and awesome waist-shoulder ratio.

veins are not muscles, and should have no relevance in bodybuilding competitions

Much more detail in the older pics. Mass monsters are cool, but the drug use is out of control with some of these guys.

The Veins are a byproduct of his SOMETHING...

Whatever that IS... it makes him look more defined in that area, which is relevant to a bodybuilding competition.

Agreed. There are only two veins that don't look like crap: the big bicep vein and the big calf vein.

He looks better in the first picture.  I think when a guy waist gets wider it really throws a physique off, even if the rest of his body gets bigger.

Notice the change in the shape of his head.  Bah!

Doom disapproves.

Now those photos tell a completely different story... He look SO much better in 2001.

Wow... he looks very disproportional in the 2K7 photo versus the 2K1.

He lost biceps peak, his lats are no longer equal in size (left is larger than his right lat), his waist is wider - his proportion just isn't as good anymore.
