There was one moment where I think an investigator might have smelled story confusion. His woman was home when he fell. She said something like "he told me he fell and broke his arm".

Maybe he's the manly type would could fall down steps and break his arm (he thought he did) then pull himself up and find her and tell her what happened. Most mortals would yell for their partner to come give them a hand up. If you fall down 12 steps and you're in excrutiating pain, as Brance said he was, wouldn't you summon the woman with a "Babe, help a brother out?"

It could be a true story. He's big and doesn't move too gracefully. Most accidents do occur in the home. You toss in clen, eca, etc and the mind isn't the clearest thing. But that one part of the story made me hesitate for a second as well.

i caught that as well .................("he called me and told me he fell" ) branch just finished saying she was home

240,

If he is lying, then "what" would he exactly be trying to cover up? Why couldnt he just say he tore it in gym doing some exercise? Would it be:
1-he doesnt want ppl to think he doesnt know how to properly execute the movement
2-what would the negative be about telling truth?

Someone else made a good point about not being able to cover the "drug bill" for two very good reasons:
1. They're going to spend the "drug fund" on her Ms. O prep
2. He just sold his personal training company, so they're prob going to be a little tight for a while.

Also, when someone falls down stairs, isn't more like a tumble than just a straight 10 foot drop?! $:-\$

Branch is a pretty intelligent when it comes to priorities. Him and his wife probably have insurance.

I think the conspiracy theory is a bit unlikely, from what I've heard Branch has a shipping business and just sold his training business so paying his drug dealer may not have been a problem at the moment, also a dealer would have broken a bone (Flex Wheeler) rather than tear a tricep.

Hey, we're all just theorizing here. I have no idea. It's not like he was wrapped up with shady characters, right?

Hi Dave jacobs!

Maybe there are insurance reasons. Maybe all his bills are paid if he is hurt at home and none are paid if he hurt it at the gym. Who knows.

Silly.

Another thing we couldn't possibly know.

Look, he probably fell at home and hurt it. But for gossip & discussions' sake, when you have two people, you have two stories, and that was an awkward moment they had, describing how she found out..... well, it opens the door up to 'what ifs'. Branch was mixed up with Dave jacobs... hell, they were trianing partners. Doesn't mean a thing, or it could be something.

Bottom line is, it's his business, but to the casual listener, the story does make you smirk a bit and wonder what they're hiding

Must feel like shit.
Now he is going to miss out on a olympia paycheck.
Oh well...

All that prep for nothing. Seems like a really cool dude though.

He's one of the few that I can respect. I seen a short documentary on him and the way he conducts his life through business and knowing you can't make a long time living in bodybuilding and uses the money from bodybuilding to invest in his trucking business....smart guy.

But I have one question about Polumbo. Why does his microphone resemble a phallic symbol?

IT'A OVER NOW FOR HIM...ONCE YOUR TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS START TEARING (DEGRADING)...YOUR WHOLE BODY HAS REACHED IT LIMIT AND IS NOW BREAKING DOWN. NORMALLY BONES WILL BREAK LONG BEFORE A TENDON OR LIGAMENT TEARS... WITH ALL OF THE DRUG USAGE HIS LIGAMENTS AND TENDONS HAVE BEEN WEAKENED AND ARE NOW IN A FRAIL STATE. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO VICTOR MARTINEZ AND QUITE A FEW OTHER BBs... HOPE HE TAKES THE HINK AND EXITS BEFORE MORE SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS SURFACE...

fall down 10 stairs, reach your arm out to try and break your fall, and see what happens bright eyes.

I dont think it will make much of a difference, he's already torn the other tricep, a bicep, and a lat. $:-\$

Relentless · « **Reply #44 on:** August 18, 2008, 06:47:52 PM »

The way Branch trains is too damn dangerous. Those lightening fast, piston like reps don't work for most people not named Ronnie Coleman. It's a sure fire way to weaken joints and tendons.

With that torn lat you can already see that side of his body is in atrophy.

Yea, and what's sad is that with the lat visibly torn and symmetry horribly off, he somehow won the NY Pro lst year. $:-\$

Muscletech, anyone??

seriously....

...my buddy fell down the stairs and tore his bicep as he tried to catch himself. why is it so unbelievable?

another guy at my old gym had a partially torn bicep from missing a hook while sparring (cage fighter tough guy)

the point is...shit happens
