I don't have very many favorites in this age of "bodybuilding" but Branch is one. Dude knows hows to train and doesn't train like pussy.
Who are the judges and what is the criterion? Also, who picks the judges and on what qualifications? I have never approved of the system where they assess judges by how well they agree with other judges. While that is important it makes for some anxiety of the judges to vote for who the others are voting for. There are several factors that are important. What is the judging process? What is the scoring system? Do the rounds count equally? Where do the judges sit and are they separated? There should be no opportunity for judges to compare notes or have others discuss the contest with them. Therefore the whole process should be completed at the so-called prejudging. No posedown, etc., for points except perhaps for a best poser award if given. The history of both the women and men demonstates that decisions made after the judging often changes by time the contest is over. While that may reward the best men it also allows for some to influence the judges and this really shouldn't happen. I wouldn't want to see the judges separated and isolated but what else is going to guarantee independent and unbiased judging? Dexter has a better physique than Branch Warren. So what if the guy is huge and ripped. His bodyparts don't go together well and I would never place him above Dexter, Phil, Ronny, and even Jay. That he does well in top shows is a credit to him but it reflects badly on the whole judging process. Overall appearance should be paramount and in that regard Branch should be placed lower. His legs are great but they are out of proportion to his upper body. He compounds this by placing them out wide in many poses.
Branch's asthetics have actually improved a ton in the past few years. I think thats what is helping him place so much higher in some of these shows recently. His waist is smaller and his upper body is catching up with his lower half. Kudos to Branch, he was the freakiest guy on stage. Too bad he doesnt have a back.
I'm no fan of Branchs physique, but his back was the best i've ever seen it. especially the rear lat spread.
Those forearms show that he doesn't train as hard you speak of...maybe Bench can confirm, but those look like the forearms of someone who trains with straps alot...sad to see that Dex, Phil, Vic, Kai, etc all have better forearms.
He does train very hard, not perfect form at all, but very intense. I've seen it many times. He certainly doesn't have the best structure or shape, but TX boys don't fuck around at the gym.
TX boys prefer to fuck around in bath houses , only two things come from texas , steers and queers
Hahahaha!! I bet you know all about that since you brought that up "Scott Markley." Or is it "Scott Markey??"
i am not scott markey are names are similar , but other than that i have nothing in common with that cum drinking homo , this is me
is that a streak of jizz running down the middle of your goatee?
silence negroid , im from the south and we dont tolerate this kind of insolence from the mud people where i come from
easy there arab f@goot or you can join your friends , il make you die for my country
Branch can change his presentation and become slightly more aesthetic. If Dexter helped him it would make a big difference. Eg. His lats are so wide that they merge into his triceps in the front double biceps pose. If Branch lifts his elbows perhaps 2 inches he would have a better flow. He needs to keep his legs closer together and not squat down while posing. That accentuates his being bottom heavy. When standing relaxed he needs to keep his ^%@#%@# elbows close to his body and not out wide like some musclehead. I mean, don't these guys have any idea how to pose! He makes the same mistake front and back and looks the worse for it. Shortasses who are thick need to resemble Hercules and not try the fancy out wide poses.
branch has size and condition over dex therefor branch places higher. end of story.
im really happy for branch and his successlot of people shit on him , this past year, giving him very little respecthe persevered, and somehow brought a better , more well proportioned packagehe works hard, keeps his mouth shut, and deserves all the success he is reaping
Branch rapes Dex on size and conditioninig, no matter if you guys think he's handsome or not.
