Keep it clean this time so the thread stays here guys.

I would vote for Branch Warren after reading about his near death experience at the 2001 nationals. Funny thing is, Tom Prince was the one who provided him with the diuretics for that show.

Don't pretend for a second there weren't long term consequences from that Branch.

Ron coleman, it will happen.

He says he's healthier than his doctor.

I do wonder about Jay sometimes though. He is beet red all the time but that might just be from the tanning.

That's what he says remember he has endorsements we will never know what is really happening behind the scenes but it is not good. I don't wish harm but he is playing with some dangerous drugs and is in no way a role model for children.

Judge/promoter *Merv Steinberger* won't make it two years. His father passed away at 43 from heart disease. it's common knowledge that he is usually quite emotional, roided out the ass, and gets into arguments at a lot of shows. Man is beetfaced red at many shows. My money is on him next.

Dexter because of the extremes he puts his body through to get so shreded (and past out at the Arnold)

Victor Martinez, from what I hear he not only trains hard but parties in the same fashion

Dude, Warren looks really bad compared to five years ago, wow how can you do that to yourself. He must have mental problems.

Maybe Branch has that condition causing the face to redden/splotch when body temp rises. Maybe it's something he takes pre-show to thin the skin.

I personally think he's probably fine. If his skin is that thin all over his body, it's going to be that thin on his head and show whatever's going on beneath the skin.

I think fans equate paper skin with harder working guys. Branch is usually the most popular guy in any show he's in from the house fans- boos reign down when he takes 2nd, no matter what. And he's had some cover shots too. So despite that grill, ppl like him.

Branch looked very unhealthy

Who is his doctor the guy in Gunsmoke. I highly doubt Ronnie is as healthy as any doctor in any field including vets.

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #15 on:** May 25, 2006, 03:30:26 AM »

he looks horrible now and 10 times more unhealthy. Look at his noggin, LOL. Noggin seems to be more changed than body too.

it's called bad Pro Tan application......If you look at competitors, many do not put anything on their face as the sweating from the lights causes it to run....

Agreed, but if the competitors where a bit smarter, they would use a different tanner for their face (like loreal or some stuff they can get at the drug store). That stuff "holds" better when sweating - and who cares if the face isn't quite as dark, at least it's better than a runny, blotchy tan...

What happend with Branch at the nationals?

DK II · « **Reply #22 on:** May 25, 2006, 07:47:46 AM »

Funny thing is, if you compare competition pics, these guys look 10-15 years older than they actually are!
I noticed this with Levrone, he looks like he's in his 20 now, when he competed he looked like late 30s.

When i saw Coleman from close, i was astonished about how good his skin really looked. He looked better than most 40 years olds.

Even if roids and the extreme conditions before competitions would make you look older, the huge amounts of GH would also have their effect to keep the body younger in a way.
Either way, being a professional bodybuilder is not the healthiest thing you can do in your life.

Im going to go with Mustafa because of a couple of his close calls during contest time. Could end up like Mohammed Bennaziza

Tom Prince is a great example of this.
