Well deserved 2nd place, in real life things are completely different to what the pic shows. Dex was the only man better then him at the night. Great show, and completely agree with the judges. Didn't see booty, saw the man, great show.

Arnold disagrees with you

thats the propaganda for both branch and phil...you gotta be there in person to witness the miracle.

The second place finisher at the ASC received US$75,000. That is a lot of money if undeserved.

Twisted and compressed. Looks like a syphilitic Nibelung dwarf from Wagner's Wring Cycle.

His musculature is deteriorating. It's as plain as the nose on his face. Too much for too long.

That he continues to get placings SO beyond his form is a travesty for the IFBB's integrity.

Just maybe the judges are following the leader. If the head judge puts the top three in a lineup then that is how you vote if you want to keep judging.

You can see this in the call outs. I didn't watch the Columbus ASC finals because I saw that Branch was going to be top three again.

Manion and Steve W have to go as well as all the stooges who do as they are told. I well remember one contest in New York where the judges were being

introduced and each one was booed. Big Steve stood up and challenged the audience to a fight. Now that guy is supervising the judging. We remember when

he lamented the time in 1983 in Las Vegas when the judges placed Bev Francis 8th in Pumping Iron II The Women. Now it is his turn to have power and

I can't say he is handling it well at all. Heck, he wouldn't let Bev answer emails from friends! A control freak for sure.

Branch didn't deserve to be in the top 8!!!

Horrible structure, but his conditioning is winning..

Well, that seems to be what the judges use to separate the men. However, I don't see anything about Branch's physique that is praiseworthy.

The ugly veins, the paint tan, lumpy looking muscles, bottom heavy proportions, left and right out of balance and just plain unaesthetic.

I really would like to talk to the judges about his placing. Of course, that won't do much good.

When I heard that 5 of the judges were imported from America I knew we were going to get the same result as Columbus.

So it appears that the promoter has to go along with what is decided above and give the officials free trips to Australia. Must have cost

a fortune to stage the event. In the past it seemed that the Aussies always were independent when it came to judging.

From this moment forward, whenever I hear the phrase "Smashed Asshole", I will think of Branch. Glad I went on Saturday & not Sunday when he was on stage.

He should really take up bowling or darts.

Blackwell · « **Reply #40 on:** March 17, 2015, 10:23:17 AM »

Sadly, if he was simply bigger and more conditioned he would win. Biggest conditioned glob of shit = win. Nothing personal against him. He used to have a great physique.

He never had the best put together physique.
Though he does look better in that pic.
Looks like he also never had much forearm development.

Funny - Branch looked great at the Arnold, but you found a terrible pic of him. That is why it is different when you are at a show

In this pic I took, Branch looked incredible

Hard to tell from that small photo. I disagree, in the broadcasts he didn't look incredible to me.

X2. You make a very valid point.
In your pic branch looks a lot better.
There is also the strange phenomena
Of some looking so much better in real life
To in the pics.
Always found this with Dorian no matter how good he looked
In pics, He was far far better when you saw him in real life.

Vince B · « **Reply #48 on:** March 19, 2015, 05:57:45 PM »

LOL at the apologists. Ron posts that Branch looks incredible and some people support him. I thought Getbiggers feared no man and spoke what was on their minds?

Why should we as bodybuilding fans accept this decision? I feel sorry for all the guys who should have placed ahead of Warren. Unbelievable what kind of nonsense

occurs in the IFBB/Pro League. Is Manion's position an elected one? What about Weinberger? Everyone involved in that decision should be ashamed. You,

collectively, have reduced pro bodybuilding to a joke. Oh, yeah, who is responsible for the boardshort idea in Men's Physique? More nonsense.

haha, well deserved 2nd place. Horrendous back. Right lat is atrophied, his mid and lower back is non existent. His forearms are completely atrophied and withered to nothing. His triceps are starting to go and his biceps look like shit. Yes, he looks so much better than Cedric McMillan $:-\$

McMillan destroying him

I'm glad Arnold was critical of the judges.

They suck.
