Branch had an insane physique in his younger days. And quite a pretty boy (no homo). He became so ghoulish after spending a fortune on gh and hormones.


He weighed in at 212 when he won his pro card & he was pretty damn big then.
There is no way he came close to 245 contest condition.
Ryan REynolds who's 6'3 says he puts on 10 pounds when he buffs up
for movie roles and says it makes a huge difference. No way he put on another
30 pounds of contest muscle at his height.
I think they just make these guys pay their dues. Darreem Charles beat Branch
when Branch looked awesome (for him) and a few years later the judging
would be completely different. Respect his work ethic.
Always thought of him as the Rich Gaspari of the 2000's.
The mass with class thing had to go..Lee Labrada owned that moniker.
