Title: Branch... evolution
Post by: BayGBM on September 30, 2021, 01:05:20 PM
I know he had earlier competitions but the oldest one I could find is from 2006.. vs 2016. :-\

I gather after seeing the photos from his 2016 show he decided to hang it up for good. He had a nice run there for a while.

Perhaps like Dorian, you had to be there in person to appreciate the wow factor they brought….

Utterly nonsense

A lot of Branch`s wins were gifts.

He was the guy I started saying had a "chemical look" to him...now most of these guys have that same look....Nick Walker comes to mind...ugly physiques.

I know what you mean - me and my TP sometimes refer to that look as "processed muscle"

X3. He looked great in those amateur years and very good-looking when he had hair (no homo). Imagine doing all that decades of bust-ass training and drugs only to look worse.

Nobody believes that. Everybody agrees you are a seriously disturbed little creep.

LOL @ me being gay. You keep digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. I don't think anybody has written more self-owning posts that just backfire and further exposes you as just a sad, lonely pathetic idiot.

Look who is calling me gay. LOL! Keep it coming my own little bitch boy.

I am sure he has his quirks, but he certainly evolved his physique and made an impact!  For a few years, he was one of the most talked about bodybuilders!

Branch was really good when he was at his peak, but it didn’t seem to last long.  His training style and how his body handled the drugs probably cut his best years short.

By definition a peak does not last long.  When do you think he looked really good? I think he looked great from 2000-2010.  2005 Show of Strength was probably the physique I liked best but I think he looked good for ten solid years!  How many guys can say that?

Branch could still look good in the later years, even off season:

Does anyone actually watch those training vids?  Or buys them?  I'd like to know who.  I have never seen more than 5 seconds of one on you tube. ::)

Some viewers know how to fast forward: at the very end, the featured bodybuilders generally strip down to their posing trunks.

Agreed with BAyGBM that this was his best physique. Branch is a short guy and that always creates issues.

Yes it's real... :-X


They're just your run of the mill former actor/physicist fraudsters who claim they've never been under the knife... ::)

Who are the Bogdanoff twins?
 
The fraternal twins were once considered French television heart-throbs and were massively popular during the 1980s.  As presenters and producers, they have been the brains behind — and faces of — various television shows covering both science and science fiction, after developing an interest in astronomy as children.
 
Although they were once known for their good looks, the brothers, now 68, are now barely recognisable after each undergoing a several plastic surgery procedures.

Igor Yourievitch Bogdanoff and Grichka Yourievitch Bogdanoff (or Bogdanov; born 29 August 1949) are French twin brothers who are television presenters,[1] producers and scientific essayists who, since the 1970s, have presented various subjects in science fiction, popular science and cosmology. They were involved in a number of controversies, most notably the Bogdanov affair, in which it was alleged the brothers wrote nonsensical advanced physics papers that were nonetheless published in reputable scientific journals.
