Don't know if anyone has ever/will ever match his graineyness, last person I remember was Jim Quinn back in the day
-
He's "freaky" and I like freaks as much as the next guy, but I think Branch peaked a while ago. His lines are nowhere near as good as they used to be. See the pix in this thread http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=150704.0
Grainyness only goes so far. At 5'6" you can only add so much muscle before you've maxed out your physique; I think Branch has done that. His waist has also gotten a lot bigger over the years and that doesn't look. :-\
He's got 'the wow factor' in spades, but I wouldn't give his physique any more trophies.
-
a lot of muscle tears
sure the size game has taken a toll, still a freak nonetheless. Good drawcard factor
-
He wont be around at 40, in the ground.

trainwreck

he looks almost 50

im a steroid user and all so im not hating, but HONESTLY....you gotta wonder what his blood pressure must be. i would be willing to bet that if you put a sensitive enough microphone next to his lower back you might actually be able to hear his kidneys weeping.

Yep dont think he last long a good dude though.

I like the "grainy" look as much as the next guy, but his physique is just becoming ugly - it just looks like a mass of bodyparts all thrown together. The quad size and shape is excellent but he doesn't really have anything else that I would want if I could have that sort of physique. Steroids are wrecking him.

never know though, maybe with his resources, he knows the right doctors to put him on the right kind of statins and BP meds. even though he takes probably alot more, he might just be safer then the average user
doubt it though

and other compounds, Im sure. Many other agents

x2! Steroids made him and they can break him!
But seriously, the guy is 5'6". If he were not on steroids would anyone in the world even notice him at 130lbs? ???
He's done a lot with a little, but he's taken it too far. :-\

#1 it not the steroids that are wrecking him (physique wise) its the peptides
#2 what weird is he totally changed his structure over the years, if you look at his pics when he was competing as a young man....he was actually pretty aesthetic and proportioned

He's paid his dues and seems to have found the right formula for conditioning.........
-
He does not look like the same guy. How is that possible?
-
Bay is right. These short guys just don't get it. You can only put so much mass on your frame before you look like a complete ball of shit. Why don't they just lower the dosage, bring their waists in, and compete in 202? In time, the 202 division will be modestly lucrative in its own right.
-

My point exactly! http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=150704.0
Yet there were people in that thread who said he looks better now. ??? :-\ :-[

the open is barley lucrative, save for 2 shows a year. all the other shows pay around 10 grand, which isnt far from what it takes to prepare for one of these shows
the 202 division, there is noooooooooo money there

Paco and Dorian
gaspari, munzer, pavol joblinicky
white guys tend to get granier for some reason.....when ever you mention the thinnest-sandpaper skinned grainy bodybuilders, its almost all white guys
just like when you mention the best structured guys its black guys
i think black guy tend to carry l little more water then white guys,

Gaspari is grany as you say.
Pavol...so.so.
Munzer is super shredded but he is not grany.

Are you high?

Haha I love the tragic injuries incurred in bodybuilding.
"Fell down a flight of stairs outside the gym."

Serious.
Have you ever seen his off season mode?
He looked soft. Just he knew how to dial in.
On the other hand, Dorian looked hard even with fat.
Paco also.

The theory of short guys and muscle mass??
Well, look at Kai, he is 5'7 or so and outmasses Phil, yet Phil is 5'9 is already maxing out his physique as it seems.
Nasser is 5'11 and IMO he looks much better before adding all that mass to his frame, he was looking like shit in his later years. Flex Wheeler is the same way. So the arguement of height in some ways can be throwned out of the equation. Bone structure/joints have more to do with it.
The only guys that come to my mind right now that can add mass and still look good whether height is concerned is Chris Cormier, Dillet, Freeman, Ronnie of course, etc..

Munzer is super shredded but he is not grany.
really, like the other guys said.......are you high??? he single handedly redefined "grainy"
-
Munzer was only 31 years old there. At 35 he would have been much more grainy looking (fuck that sounds gay).

I can't believe how far he has fallen from his peak. :-[
He is starting to "look like a bag of smashed assholes." Btw, which getbigger invented that phrase?
-

I don't see super grainy, I see super shreddedness. Grainy to me, is the consistency of the muscle, to have a granite like quality to it, a certain solidity and denseness that comes from yrs of hard work, versus young "inflated" muscle.

not invented on getbig

Branch has looked like crap for a few years now.
Has a serious chemical look to him,as if he was gonna` explode anytime soon.
Ruined a nice physique.

his upperbody is at least. strange.
-
another idiot waving his arms around arbitrarily only to arrive after a stagnant pause at one of the "same old" poses.
what was with the pirouette before his first pose?
seriously, this shit is embarrassing.
