past couple years Branch has enjoyed mixed success

with guys like Freeman, Heath, Wolf, and Silvio coming into their own, are Branch's best days behind him?

Ex Coelis · « **Reply #1 on:** January 20, 2008, 03:25:56 PM »

as a quick aside, pictures like these are why MD is a great magazine

Matt C · « **Reply #2 on:** January 20, 2008, 03:27:08 PM »

Branch is still a potential top 10 candidate at the Mr. O.

PS - I also like MD. I have never really paid attention to the drama. I don't like the CF.

Branch never had good days ahead of him...

who is this Branch guy that you speak of?

he is MIA

I'd take his physique anytime.

All that size and a small waist with no roid gut. He has flaws...but if each of you posted pics I doubt any of you would not have VERY visable "flaws".

He's finished.

his waist may not have grown too much but his abs have lost detail (at least since this picture was taken)

he looked a lot better in 2004-2005

I wouldn't say he is finished or his best days are behind him but I will say his best DEALER is finished so it's a little hard to achieve that conditioning/look when his #1 hook-up got pinched.

It takes time and trust to find a new source. You know?

The first 3 pics of Brach look unreal - he is an alien

Noel Fuller · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2008, 04:28:16 PM »

Did you guys not notice his lat is detached? he's finished

Busted · « **Reply #13 on:** January 20, 2008, 05:32:19 PM »

he is Purple

gymguy · « **Reply #14 on:** January 20, 2008, 06:06:54 PM »

Branch will continue to have success. He won a show last year and will do the same this year. and of course, qualify AGAIN for the Olympia. not too many pros can say that now, can they?

AVBG · « **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2008, 06:13:32 PM »

His best is definately behind him, he had some great results but to be in the $$$ he's got too many flaws.. He'll place well in the $10k shows.

Critical analysis from the Block, as always. We wouldn't expect any less

Not to go off topic, but would you expect the physiques in the amateurs and pros to start deteriorating and showing signs of lack of drugs, as the government tightens its stranglehold?

Noel Fuller · « **Reply #17 on:** January 20, 2008, 06:50:44 PM »

He won a horrible show last year...unless he fixes that lat tear he is finished

kyomu · « **Reply #18 on:** January 21, 2008, 03:37:54 AM »

Never liked his physic except legs.

TrueGrit · « **Reply #19 on:** January 21, 2008, 05:27:11 AM »

going by his face he must be about 45.

retire!

Trev · « **Reply #20 on:** January 21, 2008, 05:29:45 AM »

Branch will remain a good top ten pro. His lat is not detached at all. He's got too big for my liking, but the judges will still place him high(ish)

in less than convincing form followed quickly by a 4th place finish at the Keystone and a dismall 7th at the Shawn Ray Classic

in 2005 and 2006, his conditioning was spot on at every contest. since then he has lost his consistency

TrueGrit · « **Reply #23 on:** January 21, 2008, 09:03:45 AM »

seriously, how old is this guy? he looks like he's nearly 50. Are we talking about masters events here?

Enough already. IS that all you can talk about. He's not that old. Stop trying to rip the guy down. Don't be such a hater.
