The new MD has me PISSED - comparing Branch to Dorian!

[NeoSeminole]

[Wiggs]

LOL....Branch is not in Dorian league....not even close.

[suckmymuscle]

I rarely start threads, but I feel MOTHERFUCKIN' COMPELLED today after having read the new MD ! I'll keep this short. The new MD has a feature starring both Branch Warren and Dorian Yates. Here's the kicker ( and where my bp goes through the roof ) ... not only is Branch hittin' Yates's signature poses, but he's also being compared to him. "

The new Dorian ... " or some shit like that ( can't remember verbatim ) ! WHAT ... THE ... FUCK !!! Branch isn't even Dorian's league, for christ sake ( and I'm NOT a Dorian fan, btw ) ! If I was Dorian, I'd be fuckin' pissed ! Goddamnit ! Ok ... rant over. Any thoughts, opinions, etc. ?

  Branch is the best conditioned bodybuilder of our generation, and yet if he were too step onstage with the conditioning that Dorian had at 255 lb, he would step onstage weighting 235 lbs! Dorian carried 20 lbs more of lean muscle than him and he came in with better condiotioning since Branch insists in stepping onstage at 250+ lbs. So more lean muscle mass plus better conditioning. If Branch came in at 235 lbs, Dorian would only have the muscularity advantage, but since Branch comes in at 250 lbs, Dorian has both the muscularity and conditoning advantage.

Did it also bother you when Priest hit Sergio's overhead biceps shot?
I think Lee is just as known for that pose, now, as Oliva.

I knew a guy who competed in NPC events.
He told me that the competitor "handbook" prohibits athletes from using other pros' signature poses onstage.
I don't know if this has ever been enforced.

I wonder if this was something done just for the magazine shoot, or is Branch is now going to start incoprorating Dorian's poses onstage?
Branch has mentioned several times that Dorian was a major inspiration to him and his training, and I doubt this is any kind of disrespect/sleight aimed at Yates.
On another hand, it's good that Dorian's name is still mentioned today.
I doubt he minds the free publicity, especially with his supplement line and gym chain.

Maybe the comparison was about the torn muscles?

Brach has Dorian beat in all of these:
Way better chest
Way better quads & hams
Better conditioning, vascularity, hardness & dryness
Way better lines and shape
Better Arms.

Dorian has Branch on:
Way Better back

They both had great calves, good enough shoulders & shitty arms

and Yeah, I always say that Branch is a better bodybuilder than Dorian overall.

Wow ... you need to get your eyes checked. I've never heard such bullshit in my life. Wow. Are you sure you know who Dorian Yates is ? Apparently not, my friend ...

 They are marketted the same way, to the same target audience.

Hahaha!
Credibility = Out the window.
I can only attribute the Dorian hate to the fact that Dorian bitch slapped your boy Levrone all over the place in his heyday.

[Meso_z]

he looks fucking awesome in those pics.

His best showing ever. Not a "fan" of his "physique" but those pics are crazy.

Are you actually kidding?

[Shockwave]

Are you actually kidding?

Dude hates Dorian badly cause Levrone never had what it took to beat him. 

[NarcissisticDeity]

 I think it's accurate to compare the two , I've done it myself. In terms of heavily muscled frames with great density & dryness while not exactly being aesthetic they are comparable but that's about all

[Dr Dutch]

I fucking hate those tats, but the calves are beyond believe...why haven't they shrunk like the rest when he went off the turbo-gear?

Pretty sure he said that he always had em' even before he started...



Lots of people do that don't even lift. Genetics strike again.

[G_Thang]

only thing cool about yates was his training partner who was ill.

blue collar mr o, NOT

tattoo thug who was saved by bbing schmoes, YES

[alnassak]

Had Dorian ever had such chest & legs..?



Had Dorian ever looked that great from the front relaxed pose..?




Had Dorian ever had such vascularity..?





So, each one has something on the other and since Bodybuilding is based on opinions, I would go with Branch over Dorian.
