And how is a different style of training going to be the difference, in terms of winning the Olympia? As for his training style not being effective, I think two ASC titles and a 2nd place at the 2009 Olympia (not to mention his other wins) would beg to differ.
But, by your strained logic, unless he wins the Olympia, every thing he's done to this point is a waste. Did Dexter Jackson's style of changing change in 2008 to give him the win?
Well, if training matters so much, as you have stated, then yes, a different style of training may make a difference.
Branch has said, like most other bodybuilders that his dream is to win the Mr. O. But if youre not winning the Mr. O, then why would you keep doing the same thing every year and still not winning the Mr. ? Does not make sense to me. If youre not accomplishing what your main goal is, why wouldn't you change it up?
Cannot use his wins as evidence to suggest his training works. Bodybuilding is corrupted. He was a muscletech guy for a long time. Of course he won shows.
Given his injuries, his shitty aesthetics, and him never winning a Mr. O, id say its time for a change.
Dexter probably never had to change his training all that much. He always trained fairly well for a pro bodybuilder (thats not saying much either). And he was always on point, decent lines, etc. Not much to change when you have dexters build. He was always close enough. However, Branch is VERY far off, which would indicate a need for a change.
