2015 Olympia - How does Branch place higher than Bonac and Roelly.

[Parker]

Bonac is Bertil Fox 2.0. They're both 5'6 and have similar shape.

Bertil was listed at 5'10.

[DroppingPlates]

Very simple, his conditioning.

[Voice of Doom]

Branch places well or it would be nothing but black guys dominating...and we don't want to alienate the white dollar market.

[Joe Pietaro]

They gave him a top 6 finish for his social media posts against the new NPC-Global.

A small gift for towing the company line.

One hundred percent correct. That War-and-Peace-sized post by the Warrens was enough to give him a top-six gift, much like Cutler's final O foray.

Dallas McCarver looked better than Branch. And there was Wolf in 4th.

I see Branch looking better in those pics for a bodybuilding competition.

But make no mistake I would not choose to look like his physique given the choice of these two.

Are you referring to the injured lats, the atrophied foremarms and biceps, and the water on the lower back?

Yes, that is clearly preferred from a bodybuilding perspective. 

[SF1900]

Hes more muscular and conditioned in that pic and has bigger arms,legs,lats.

His right pec is torn and sunken in, his forearms are atrophied, his lats look to be regressed due to injury, and he has a turtle belly, and you think he beats Bonac? 

[jude2]

He put out a video supporting the NPC and not Lee Thompson.

Branch, well versed in the "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" philosophy. So, in some way, deep down, he may feel that his physique doesn't deserve to be up there, but HE deserves to be rewarded.

[TTfit]

Honestly branch looks better to me in the fdb

Branch has more quality dense muscle mass. This is bodybuilding after all. I see why he placed higher. Watching the livecast Branch looked okay. Bonac was impressive for debut. You can't just judge on a nice flow. Muscle mass counts.

[hardgainerj]

Biggest robbery of the night. Branch over Bonac.

branch appeals to meatheads which is the minority in the audience

[Wiggs]

Bertil was listed at 5'10.

Never seen him listed that tall till today. Looking at this pic, I'd say he's 5'8.

[wes]

Branch wrecked his body with way too many drugs and a sloppy training regimen that has him going way too heavy.......hence the torn shitty bodyparts.


Guys a fucking trainwreck.

[ITALIAN_FAN]

Branch has the worst physique in the IFBB, he has got a disgusting large waist, no details in his back, his arms suck and his chest il literally falling apart. Yet is rewarded again and again by the judges. I felt really sorry for Roelly who got denied a 6th place finish, something that he could have proud of for the rest of his life. In 2013 he deserved to be top 3 ( at least) and he got screwed by the Jay. I hope that the new federation may offer better opportunities to guys who got constantly overlooked.

[V Man]

Not sure how people can say Branch is in better condition there. Bonac has better seperation. Branch's skin is melting.

Branch is a bunch of torn and melting body parts mashed together lol

[funk51]

Branch is an alright guy. This other FéLLA, however...

why does he call himself true adonis

[DroppingPlates]

why does he call himself true adonis

Adam is even more ugly than that torn gobbin..

[mr.turbo]

here's a vid of branch sitting pretty beside Manion

Jay says he's been doing the pittsburg guest posing thing for 15 years

I wonder how much these guys get paid to do all that guest posing?

It must cost a lot of money to have all the top guys promoting your show!

there was some guy who competed at the Pittsburgh amateur show that Flex and I think Jay raved about. He was like Edgar Fletcher all over again. I forgot his name.

[WalterWhite]

Dallas McCarver looked better than Branch. And there was Wolf in 4th.

Dallas really surprised a lot of people but didn't "pay his dues" and got screwed. 

I remember when Weinberger was a truck driver and now because he married Bev he's a head judge.

[michael arvilla]

How Indeed? ...

all things go through pittsburg , or so they say...he should do well!

[Ronnie Rep]

What happened to Branches Chest in the FDB?? It's disappearing. Not like it used to be.

Wolf looks insane there. Won't even comment on Branch.

[Parker]

no, this was a long time ago. Dude apparently stopped competing. There was a thread on him back in the day.
