He looks to have aged decades in a relatively short time. A little leaner & more defined now at a cost of leathery horrible looking skin.

Upper body's a little bigger and more refined but looks grotesque and inhuman, while he's let the lower body imbalance get worse. Legs too big and unrefined. Last several years should've been about bringing them down & defining while working on improving the calves. Lower body neglect is similar to Coleman.

Sadly  :'( the reality is that in order for him to win in the pros he had to mass up and make his body look freaky.
Like Ronnie and even Jay, if ya wanna win big time ya gotta go big and freaky.
Do I agree with that? NO!!! No! no!!

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.

Thats exactly right, there are VERY few exeptions when it comes to a pro being "ripped" and the IGF has played a huge role in ruining physiques, I could be wrong, but I think it was Milos that first introduced the use of insulin into the drug programs and by doing that (along with the encouragment of the poor judging) has dangerously ruined the industry physiques that USED to be good.

These pics are perfect example of how drugs ruined a physique, I'm not aginst the use of it for competition, but to take it to the point that it totally ruins people is a total step backwards from where it used to be...........bottomline, Branch looks like shit!

But why do these pros do it? They need to in order to win. I agree it looks worse, compared to a leaner , sharper look,
amd dare I say healthier look. Jay Cutler remarked during a seminar that he prfered how he looked 25 lbs lighter, but was told he needed to be BIGGER to ever win.

No, they're leaner, sharper and bigger on, at the expense of a natural, healthy and less cramped look.

You could probably start with the judging standards and take it from there, I've always said with the amount of gear some of these guys are on it's easy to get big.

Yes, Branch has shocking skin. 

As a matter of fact, the skin is the largest organ in the human body.  The quality of the skin is a reflection of one's overall health.

Branch's overall health is evidently in appalling condition, if you go by the look of his skin.

I hope the guy will live past his 50th birthday!

Laura, i think he has already gotten there.  He is a mass monster!

Are women in general attracted to these behemoths?  I dont think so!

He doesn't have anything to worry about regarding women liking or disliking his physique.  He's got a girl already.

And some women like it, some don't.  Just like some like skinny men, some don't.  ;)

I think he looks terrible in the shots from the NY Pro, looked waaay better a couple of years ago.  Again it's a case of a guy going for size for the sake of going for size at the cost of everything else.  Leg imbalance is horrible, skin tone is horrible, back lacks refinement, waist is getting huge.  The judges seem determined to push this look and I don't understand why but whatever, it's thier "sport" not mine.
nasser=piece of shit

Laura, i think Branch would be concerned whether women are attracted to his physique or not!  Afterall, he is in the 'physique business' and for him it is all about appearance/vanity.  The fact that he has a girlfriend is irrelevant.

I think most bber's who want to be, or are mass monsters don't care if a woman is attracted to his physique or not...otherwise they wouldn't become such.  Their main focus is get as big as they can.  The fact that his girlfriend is in the industry helps because she understands and obviously finds him and his body attractive.

Branch got married in 2006.  Don't you guys read the mags?

He is still pretty new as a pro.  Consider what he'll look like when he's been a pro as long as Ronnie has been.
