Branch Warren & Johnnie Jackson Shoulder Training (new video footage)

[Julio Ceasar]

He is...whats your point?

Haha based on what? Muscletech commercial?

Hold on!! Are you implying that Muscle-Tech commercials are all bullshit. I will have you know that Anator-P70 changed my genetic make-up.

JOJ is a good deadlifter. There are probably a few bb'ers out there who can beat him in bench/pushing exercises and squats.

Stan Efferding (would eat jj alive), Ronnie Coleman, etc, etc

[mesmorph78]

From videos bbers who are stronger that joj ... Coleman kovacs levrone cormier I'd even throw shawn in there too.  One exercise doesn't make you the strongest bber

[Chick]

yeah, because they didn't let the real "strongest bodybuilder of the world" compete in their stupid 2 man show  

Strongest IFBB pro in the world means that one must have COMPETED as a pro, which Stan the man hadnt done to that point....now he is eligable, which will make for a great challenge this year...

There were no other takers...

Stan is probably the strongest bber ever IMO...

Come on Bob that was a shitty contest.

Also, JOJ said he won't compete in this year's challenge (because he knows he will lose)

I don't give a shit about who is the strongest, I just think JOJ is a coward

BTW, your argument doesn't even make sense.

Stan applied for a pro card, so he was an IFBB Pro.
Even if he would never compete, he would still be an IFBB Pro because he has his pro card.


that's like saying: Ok so to compete at the Pheonix Pro, you need to be a pro. But you can't compete because you have never competed before ?
it's stupid, it was clearly because JOJ and Ben White were scared shitless of Efferding.

[Lion666]

I really don't like the pros always slam or drop the weigtts on floor

same here but they may just do that for dramatic effect for the vids...
most of the time,,, if you cant rack unrack properly it's too heavy... ok for once in a while but if your doin that all the time,,, injury chance has to increase...

also,,, they're pros, with that said looks like branch does all his reps in everything ballistic,,, he must feel confident with his tricep, i know its been a while so.... does anyone know if branch always did those ballistic reps or is this recent,,, how did he tear his tri again?
he looked strong on that front press too btw... surprised he moved it that quick on the bottom...
surprised their shoulders are still intact.  that's a lot of front delt work there.

noticed they did front raises thumbs up as opposed to palms down,,, i used to do palms down during the 1st 3 years of training then dropped them cause they made my shoulders start to hurt... i was thinking about throwing them back in cause its been like 7 yrs now and heard that thumbs up is the safer way to do them,,, anyone with actual experience,,,  chick, anyone, etc.  know its a training question but i'm already in this post, lol.

true but it's part of the biz... he prob made about a grand for that vid that took maybe an hour to shoot from when he got there to when he left so including travel, maybe and hour both ways and another hour being 2 total and to wear more than what he wears to compete in not a bad day.  bb'rs are used to showing off their bodies so this isn't that much of a stretch,,, exhibitionists do it all the time for me,,, some are "affluent" people and have garbage bodies so...
and no one can take jj's strength away...
again, part of the biz... people do a lot worse than that...
how many do nothing housewives just layed there to get pregnant, to get & keep a paycheck...  and how many chumps go along with it because it's a girl with her legs and hole spread for him,,, almost anytime he wants or complains enough... and how many of those guys cry when they bust... i mean get real.  who cares about jj prancin & dancin for schmoes &/or ladies... it's the biz and won't change. 
again, people do worse for free and ain't even built so... lol

First, it's not an argument, its a fact.

You're not a "pro" until youve competed as a pro...simple as that. Having a pro card makes you eligable to compete as a professional in the Pro League....calling yourself a pro when never actually competing as one would be ludicrious.

The rules we came up with for this title were put in place to insure some sort of level playing field...

That said, judging by your response, you obviously dont know how the pro card system works...when one wins a pro qualifier, you actually have to submit for approval for a pro card, it's not automatic, and contingent on your ability to actually step on stage and compete.

[Immortal_Technique]

Man I don't know nothing about this shiz. I thought when you got your pro card you were a pro.

On the plus side me and my friend had a competition called "world's strongest human". Only me and him entered but I won. Since I won the title of "world's strongest human" I can now call myself The World's Strongest Human, because if you win a competition with that title you don't actually have to worry about whether the statement in the title is true.

[mesmorph78]

Johnnie strong dead that is it
every article or video with branch baranch destroys him look in that vid branch repped 315 luke lapsed johnnie had help from rep one so bow in samhill is johnnie the strongest bber the strongest bber was cleman at his prime taking nothing from efferdine his lifts so far have been at meets Coleman lifts were never max he was working out johnnie is not even top 5 strongest

good one!

JJ is only strong in the deadlift...... thats about it.

They get paid more than that. I was offered 5 g's with travel and accommodations covered obviously. 2 days in Miami to shoot for Muscle Gallery. I thought about it but realized it was more than a couple pics taken in a posing suit.

[Flexb]

Stan should be called the World's most muscular powerlifter. Bodybuilding is his second job

[Lion666]

exactly,,, you get my point to though...
i mean,,, yeah some stuff is questionable and sometimes of course theres more involved, however it's the biz and people in it expect it.  they get paid more than 5k for that stuff,,, so when some people out in usa work 52 40hr wks and make 25k-30k for that,,, some of these guys get a chance to make a 1/3 to 1/2 that in a days or two.. to prance around and gyrate .. of course thery take it... (maybe they figure i move more 4x-8x the amount of weight a normal guy does so, whos he to judge). i mean i know this is getbig where everyone is a fortune 500 guy that makes 25k in a bad week benches 700lbs for reps 1000lb dl and 1500lb squat but to meer mortals living below those high rises,,, 5k is a good take.
who cares what anybody does to make a living, unless you intend to do business with someone... but who cares,,, really.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh... you should walk up to them and tell them.

He is a pro.....Bob just CAN NEVER BE WRONG, so he posted some nonsense

[lastrep]

He is...whats your point?

hahahahahahahah.. he is?? Based on what? I bet there are a dozen "bodybuilders" that are stronger than JJ, starting with mariusz pudzianowski (yes.. he IS a bodybuilder)

[#1 Klaus fan]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh... you should walk up to them and tell them.

Just throw a dumbbell in their face and say ooops. This sometimes happens when I throw these things around...

[_bruce_]

branch isnt even sitting on the bench, he's creating an incline benchpress, dude must have a huge ego and insecurities to appear strong on camera, cheater

Branch = the ultimate in momentum

[mesmorph78]

How can you call yourself strongest bber and your training partner does like 15+ reps easy and u need help from the first rep Cormier ray levrone would eat johnnie for breakfast I'm not even gonna mention Coleman  johnne strongest deAd lift. Maybe
strongest pro not even in top 10
