Its crazy to think that from 2005-2010 (this video) was without a doubt Branch's best look, but he had his biggest wins AFTER he completely ruined his physique and was ravaged by injuries, terrible training practices, and GH/insulin/IGF. He looked incredible up until here and absolutely disgusting at the 2011-2012 Arnolds which he won.
@@TheLusianPopa he had an absolutely ridiculous amount of muscle but I didn't look better. In my opinion of course. Some guys kept or even improved their overall aesthetic as they got huge. Cutler, Heath, Ronnie, Kevin, Kai, etc. But Branch not so much.
@@ods1ODS Sorry but you are wrong Ronnie certainly didnt keep let alone improve his aesthetics after 99 Heath same, after 13 he didnt look aesthetic anymore, despite being more or less same bodyweight in 14,15 and even 18 Kevin and Cutler did more or less maintain their aesthetics but even Kevin said hsi best look was around 245 and not in the 250s as he was 96-99 Kai didnt look/get better later on either, its widely accepted his best ever was the 09 AC or the slimmer 2012 Olympia
@@TheLusianPopa this doesn't make sense though. How is it you have this opinion yet you say Branch's prime was during the years his aesthetics went to absolutel sh*t?
@@ods1ODS i meant phisical prime, his phisical prime was 09-2012 .Just because he was in his phisical prime doesnt mean he nailed his look all those years Jay cutlers phisical prime was 2001-2010, did he look good all those 10 years?no half the time he looked pretty average, 2003,2004,2007,2008... and its my opinion that his aesthetics( which were never really there btw) went to shit 2013 and after.Up until 2012 he still looked ok, for his phisique...
@tennowns mine were measured flexed and pumped... which certainly makes a difference. Its probably bigger if you measure it with your arm bent like in a front double biceps, thats how I did it.
He gets a lot of negative comments that his genetics and structure are not good but I disagree. He is tight, grainy and in shape with some freaky bodyparts. I think he got a bum rap at times. He is a little blocky but still has a very good midsection and no bubble gut. He was also one of the hardest training bodybuilders in his day and likely still is. The man trained with some very heavy weights and it shows in his physique.
When it comes to back double, his front/rear and lateral shoulder are incredible, i feel like if he just had the seperation...he would have the edge even more. incredible symetery. not too happy about the definition. but my favorite BB still
@elite99900 I think its the way he poses in the front double bi. He needs to open up the pose more which will give hime more of a bigger pleasing look.
@@juanbaclavab lol you dont have an idea, clearly branch was being gifted these placings because hes been in the game for a while and hes done mad g4p paying his dues.
@MrSchwartzenator branch does not have good seperation is his back. I assume its a genetic flaw because his glutes/hams are so seperated. I know what you mean though, his back looks more watery then everyone else, and it does affect his placing, im not sure he can do anything about it though.
@tennowns are you sure your forearm is 20cm? that is only 7.8 inches. I'm shorter than you, and my wrist is almost that size. not to mention I have small joints. You know you measure the largest spot right? im 5'9 and 175 and my forearms are 13 inches which is 33cm
@diamondboi89 You can't always make every muscle big, it depends a lot on genetics...look at frank mcgrath, he has massive forearms...you would think every bodybuilder's would be that big considering there are guys bigger than frank mcgrath, but that'snot the case
His calf could feed a family of four.
It's not a calf anymore. It's a full-grown cow...
What a freaky Vascularity branch had man
He might have been just about past it here, but Branch was amazing in his prime, he looked unbelievable a year or two before
young branch looked phenomenal and very different.
U guys talk so much shit he looks great stupse
This was his prime, he placed 2nd in the 2009 Mr O and he won the 2011 and 2013 ACs...
he trains insane...
Hardest worker in the gym.😍👍💪🏻🏅.
Never liked branch's physique much but comparing him to the crop of 2018 bodybuilders with their pregnant guts, I think he looks great!

He deserves to win 2010
branch lower body + Johnnie Jackson upper body = mr O
+Robert Patton you must be Branch's brother. If you're offended so easily, then that suggests your thin-skin is your weakest body part.
***** nice gyno you fairy
aldo baffo nah
Difference between him and Phil is immense.
Phil kills him
one of the thickest physiques around..great thick double biceps pose
Love the hardness
Love
I’m a Branch Warren hater but man he looked incredible in this show.
Ya I really hate his style of training. It makes me think how he would’ve looked if he trained different.
@@Tinkerbell0320 his genetics were so outstanding he made gains looking at videos of himself working out
Phil Heath looked the best in this show. Branch was definitely grainy, and I love Branch but Phil looked a lot better.
One of branch's better looks
That back is a mess
Need this 💡 for olympia
This version of Branch wins the 2022 olympia hands down. No one has conditioning like this anymore. It's all about size
You are either drunk, joking, or blind?
we can cry together.
That back latspread just looks like a big bowl of sick, lol...
That commentator is right Branches problem was that he packed on too much mass for a 5ft 6 guy, and it obscured his separation
@tennowns mine were measured flexed and pumped... which certainly makes a difference.
@diamondboi89 yes, i have watched every training video of branch and not one time have i seen any forearm training.
Gotta give him credit for being one of the hardest working guy, everyone only talks about his shit symetry dont forget conditioning.

Not sure how he used to place so high with no arms, no back and a torn lat is beyond Me!
of course is beyond you because you have no idea about bodybuilding

His one lat look deflated compared to the other one...I wonder if he had a injury
I was stumped but I just twigged that I’m always rooting for Branch.
Sorry, I’ll leave.
How branch won this and the 2011 arnold I will never know when he had kai and phil better than him
Kai won this show
Now he needs to train harder because Kai Greene is back!
He looked great at the ny pro!

his legs are fucking godlike
His calf has more muscle than my entire body.
Has anyone noticed something funky going on with Branch's right lat, in particular where it attaches up in the armipt???
He is definitely winner , I don’t know why he lost the title
Perdi so na largura
@diamondboi89 damn, you're absolutely right, he has no forearms
No lower back. How did he beat Dexter Jackson
@diamondboi89 You can't always make every muscle big, it depends a lot on genetics...look at frank mcgrath, he has massive forearms...you would think every bodybuilder's would be that big considering there are guys bigger than frank mcgrath, but that'snot the case
his legs are fucking godlike oh and he would look soooo much better if he lost some size on the waist
Back double bicep looked soft
Branch's back is garbage.. Like horrible pose and he holds so much fat and water on his sides unlike Phil and Kai in this show where they are so tight
idk why but his arms and limbs just look short look when he does a front double biceps his arms look short
Reminds me of Phil heath in some shots
B. Warren must won 2009 olympia but blander to jay cutler
he wins
@Programmerx they never looked good but
Most weird physic of all timr
terrible symmetry
If only he didnt have the personality of a tomato...
without proper form you'd get them veins everywhere
Is this true?
@@Alvin_Vivian No
@2TheGuy2 he tore 1
poor man.. certanily his life is too influenced by diet
@diamondboi89 i laways chirp his forearms
:D
No gut on Branch
Greta legs,
Upper body is a complete mess
Ugliest back shots ever on a top 10 Olympian.
Dead reptile body
Ufff que rico
he wins
