More like 1/4 reps.

Absolutely foolish to have any greater movement than the contraction of the muscle being trained. If you can train back and feel strain on your biceps you are wasting the rep - same goes for chest and tri's. "Full" reps don't make any sense.

Looks like shit-
I cant believe he has not had any serious health problems...Drug addict midget-

Hurts never being able to gain any muscle - and at the same time having that stubborn blubber doesn't it lil fella? If you keep the negative, jealous attitude you will be a miserable failure in your every endeavor. If I ever hear one of my employees with that attitude - I first speak with them or have their team leader speak with them - and try and correct it but there are no third chances. It's ok to come here to waste time and just vent - so silly arguing is expected because everyone loves confrontation as men are natural combatants - but jealousy is such a weak, feminine trait that it can't be stomached.
Positive critiquing is fine - just don't let your insecurities control you.

JJ manages to do shittier reps than Branch's. Coleman wannabes with half the potential of Big Ron. Sad.

As always, but actually he looks better than I expected. Waist has not grown. Arms better than I would have predicted.

Like 'em or not, they train their asses off, unlike the texters/gym socializiers we see elsewhere.

DLB's training sessions must be interminable with her stopping to take duck face selfies after every rep.

Johnny Jackson looked better right when he turned pro as a light heavy.Branch Warren also looked better when he turned pro.
As far as there form goes, every video I have seen of them.Yes they train hard but the range of motion sucks.They dont use full range of motion and the use momentum to move the weight.
I hope is just for show in the video.I give them credit for training hard and intensly.But if your not using full range of motion, maybe that is why there physiques have declined over the years.
Yes they have gotten bigger, but they dont look as good as they did when they first turned pro.,
They should lighten up the weight, keep the intensity, and focus on symmetry.IMO

Branch sadly is deteriorating with each and every year that passes. His physique isn't anything close to what it once was. Why continue to wreck your health when the chase for your pinnacle has come and gone?

700lbs squat? Maybe in his dreams.



This is fucking terrible half squat-half good morning with brutal 2 plates on each side...



Dude is struggling with 2 plates front squats. I mean plz, I should be able to do around 18 reps with that kind of weight...

x2 I see a lot of folks these days just doing really low-intensity / unchallenging workouts.  Better than nothing still I guess.

Screaming, huffing and puffing does not make your workout hard. It just makes your workout look hard in the eyes of the public. Advanced lifters like you, oh mighty Hulkatron, know better than that ;)

Where did I say screaming/huffing/puffing were required?  I said I see a lot a easy/low-effort workouts being done.

Nice strawman though "receiver".

Employees?
How many kids do you have mowing lawns for you?
How about you fuck off and go to a homo website so you can worship drug addicts?
