I'm surprised there isn't a pool on the internet on when/where he is gonna rupture the next part of his body.
His reps are FAST with big weight.

Ronnie-esk muscle maturity

Top 5 not likely. I like "Boomhower Branch" but his physique doesn't fall in line with any others. He's short (5'6) very thick but no symmetry.

-
those are some shitty shoulder presses, they look more like incline presses to me.
bench
-
his arms look tiny compared to his torso....top 5 - HELL NO
-
This is Branch training strictly, light and with peak contraction.
Hate to think what it looked like in the past!

In one article I read in MD-last magazine I ever bought- he talked about how he'd just torn his bicep and that he had completely revamped his training style. He spoke about telling his partner (Johnnie Jackson at the time) how he should do the same because "you'll regret it when you do the same." Branch said he slowed down his tempo and how he wouldn't bounce the weight anymore....::) ::) ::)
In the video, I can't believe how much he's throwing the weight around. The set of 315/20, while ridiculous when you see it, is a complete facade. Bouncing reps, no tension on the muscle, his back is arched so much it's more of an incline press, when the bar bounces off his upper pecs, I can't believe how much his body moves and I'm surprised that he hasn't had some sort of implosion by now. Whatever works for him, right?
Oh, and just after the aforementioned article, he tore another muscle! So, is this the third time he's changed his training style? If so, even if it's the second time, his form still sucks like Vince Goodrum being drunk after a night with Queen Vissy.

Agree, his form totally sucks. But still fucking impressive!!

Gawd....fast forwarded through most of it and ended up at around 6:40 when he went into his whole "Muscletech" shill. Made me want to puke. The way he does his reps...is that pretty much a resounding demonstration of what drugs can do? I mean....would he be any bigger if he used a more complete range of motion or slowed his reps down?
Also....early in the video when hes doing the military presses....check out the calves on the guy in the black tank that is training with him...HA HA
1:57 he yells out "light weight fucker"...... ::)
-
I have him pencilled in as a solid 8-12th place. This era's Mike Katz.
Excellent marble mouth as well.
Sometimes the MD player isn't so good, here's the same vid on youtube.
-
thats great and all but who the hell wants to look like that ???
-
Atleast he goes all the way down to the chest, getting all out of the exercise stimulating the upper chest and delts to the fullest.
-
Very sloppy but very intense!!
He is a real bodybuilder! 8)
He is one of the pros whom i want to train with.

I like Branch he will never win the O his structure is off
-
he would not attain many young fine ass hoes, however branch would probably attain alot of milfs and attain milk money

Fair call, Branch knows this from what he's stated so he keepings smashing the weights to widen the delts, back and shrink the abs.
-
Branch's form makes Ronnie's look textbook!

At this rate he'll be in balance for the 2021 Olympia. ;)
Always amusing that he thinks he has a serious shot.
-
branch needs to relax and run a few sprints
-
Anyone notice how Bad the chunk of right lat missing at 8:25 into the video is???? :'(
-
Good to see Branch is still natural; he even takes his supplements at the end of the video!
-
Damn that was painful.
I tore my bicep just watching that :'(

After an injury, how in the world doesn't a man move to a stricker form of weight training? I'ts almost like he is looking for an excuse to never have to compete again...The bigger he gets, the further on down the line he is going to get..Ego is a hella drug isn't it :-\
-
Even if his form is sloppy his intensity is crazy :o
I would tear something training like that.
I hear that Branch is going to be coming in at 240. If he is the same height as Dexter, I don't see how Dexter can be 235. I think Dexter is more like 220-225.

I dont worship him.
But His training career is long and i guess he knows what he is doing.
Apart from Ruhl, Maybe he is the biggest and one of the hardest guy(Cus Paco is the no.1 hardest. 8)) on this planet now.
So what can we say?
-
Who gives a shit about his form. Whatever he is doing obviously works for him. Dude is thick as fuck. Got that hard dense look. Makes guys like Jay and Phil look soft as shit.

Do other sports have videos like these?
Is there a road to the Olympics 100m starring Usain Bolt showing him eating meals and training?
-
The man trains and looks like a bulldozer. I've never seen his physique so massive and detailed. Compared to Kai Greene he is still strong and energetic as fuck.
-
oldest looking 34 year old guy i've ever seen. look at his pic below at 30 in 2005.
-
bald with a goatee is not a youthful look
-
look a the end when he takes the muscletech supplement. when they close up on the bottle bransh has written in marker on the label, what looks like "35".. and then when he takes it he pours it into his hand in a maner so that it was impossible to tell what eh had actually put it in his hand and taken... i think he has emptied the muscletech bottle an dput in tabs of a steroid, probably 35mg tabs of winny or anavar or Tbol or maybe anadrol

Who gives a fuck, bodybuilding is not a beauty contest

i know i'm just saying he looks like he's burning himself out for the sake of a trophy and some dollars.

Branch has no black genes so he has to go to extremes when it comes to dieting, training and juicing. Apart from Jay & Wolf he's currently one of the best white pro's.
