But then we wouldn't be able to launch into the same speech about how dangerous bodybuilding is.

Ahhh come on. We don't want somebody to die, it's just funny to think about who MIGHT die.
Also, we wouldn't be able to launch into the same speech about how dangerous bodybuilding is. (Sorry Lucius

No prob. I wrote it somewhere before. The little fucker sniffed too much glue and got hit by a truck.

R.I.P. Diddy Kong

it's like the whole swimmer physique debate.
if you would show these guys to the general public, they would be classified as freaks, yet bb fans talk of 210lbs swimmer bodies.
ridiculous.

The diuretics Tom Prince gave him caused him to cramp up so badly he needed to go to the emergency room.

Being "hardcore" and an "iron warrior" he opted not to go. Mostly because the idiot who he was with didn't let him. Branch was there cramping in agony and the guy refused to bring him to the E.R.

24 hours later the guy won his pro card. Judges are definitely to blame too.

are you saying that extremes are needed to become a "pro", Matt?

Yeah, extreme drug use lol.

Look at Tom Prince and Craig Titus when they came off. Both were barely over 180.

i think 180 is being generous when it comes to Prince but yeah, they were quite slim weren't they?

Tom looked to be 170 and Craig looked 190 so it averaged out.

are you saying that if they were a pro wrestling tag team that they would weigh less combined than X Pac and Rey Mysterio, Matt?

Mars · « **Reply #38 on:** May 25, 2006, 09:24:10 AM »

I wouldn't be surprised if Tom was 120 pounds.

you don't think going off the diet or staying out of the gym had anything to do with it?

Exactly.

Staying out of the gym would have had some effect. Honestly if you eat big and juice like those guys you would grow doing pushups. In fact, I will go on record to say that you would be significantly more muscled than the average man by doing NOTHING except for eating. Yes, that's right - NOTHING. You could sit on the couch watching TV and if you eat enough protein to synthesize you will grow if you take massive quantities of juice.

you don't need "big" muscles to be more musular that the average man

the average man would struggle benching 150

you need to lift to hold on to your strength and muscle that was built through training

if you don't use it you lose it

I have a premonition that Nasser is going to experience a profound, possibly fatal health crisis in the next 5 years.

But playing the odds, I'd have to say Titus. As Ice Cube observed: "A d**k in yo' mouth is bad fo yo' health."

SteelePegasus · « **Reply #43 on:** May 25, 2006, 12:32:45 PM »

I would say Alexxx

dude went from 160 to 185 in like 4 years. He has to be on heavy gear. How else can you explain benching 225 for 4 reps without spotter?

At that rate once Ronnie retires next year Alexx is next in line.

Two pics of Branch, five years apart--at the 2001 Nationals, and the 2006 Arnold Classic:

Interesting pics - he doesn't actually look like he's improved that much.

Ronnie will be the one to go. Twenty grams of test per week has gotta hurt.

i always wonder when BIG names like Jay and Ronnie will fall ill, i mean its evident that what ever they are doing , they ae doing lots of...
The last big names to fall victim were Flex and Prince. Then Matarazzo too ...
Mustafa does some dangerous diretics too

hahahahhaha no I started at 150 and now weight 240.. and my best bench was 315 x 2 by myself. Once I start my cycle of creatine I will be benching 315 for 10 reps.

Branch is a big-name proffessional bodybuilder with a real college education and a world class physique. The guy knows what he's doing. I seriously doubt he'll be dying anytime soon.

Watch his clip in the BFTO 2005 - he's here to stay.

LOL. Creatine might add 10 or 15 lb to your bench, nothing more. Even dianabol wouldn't increase your strength that much.
