It's almost like they shrink the guys heads to make everything look bigger....

photosopped.

Yes, his head shrinks while doing leg presses.

The only thing that displeases me about Grant is his forarms. They slope off something fierce after the elbow (lack fullness). but all in all the man is a freak no doubt..

That happens to me quite often...it sucks because then my hat falls down over my eyes.

the quads screams "we have been enlarged using photoshop"

If it's from "Photoshop Development" (formerly known as MD) we know it's fake.

To fully understand how much of an effect photo editing can have, go to this link:

click on 'portfolio' and then click on the photos... mental!

Don't believe your eyes; most publicised photos these days do not truly represent the subject matter

I think this pic might be legit, it's just taken in a way that makes branch looks massive, little photography tricks.. taken from a low angle facing up, also taken pretty close to him. When you take a pic of something up close the parts that are closer to the lens tend to dwarf the parts that are further away, they used a similar kind of trick to shoot LOTR to make Gandalf look 8 feet tall, I forgot what it was called, I think forced perspective or something... but anyhow , that's why his head looks so small compared to the camera side of his body.

I think it's legit. Has anyone seen Palumbo's leg shots? I think they're off his website, I've seen them posted here a while back. Anyways Dave's legs were looking pretty amazing too...unlike the rest of him. He had a couple pics of him doing legpress, so if Palumbo can have legs that are ripped and almost as big, Branch's pic is legit.

looks good to me. it may have digitized to make some of the lighting and vascularity look better, but that's about it. its a close up from a lower angle that branch is. plus, he's 5'7 and competes at 240.

crazy ain't it!?

Have you seen the pic of paris and nicole?...

...Nicole has lierally been cut down the middle!

No wonder she's got an eating dissorder!

DEFCON · « **Reply #20 on:** March 02, 2006, 09:44:02 AM »

I think it's fake. just looking at the edge of his arm shows something was done. it looks artificially 3d. I noticed the same thing with the new MD with Bill Wilmore. The colored pictures inside were messed with in the same way. Looks like they are selecting certain body parts and then enlarging them. When this done the edges look weird.

seanashbrook · « **Reply #21 on:** March 02, 2006, 09:57:47 AM »

he's really 170lbs in person.good lighting for the pic.
