[njpooldude]

I understand everyone has different styles of training, but this dude is just an animal! Man, he's gonna be sorry when he breaks, rips, or crushes something!

EDIT- ok that wasnt the vid i meant to post, but now i cant find the other one!

not sure why he doesn't just do incline bench. can't be good for your lower back, but who am i to question him he's a lot bigger and stronger than i am

How does he not hurt himself? Branch has torn just about every muscle on his body.

correct. haha.
most recently tricep.

hes also suffered bicep, pec, and APPARENTLY had a near quad tear... dont know if theres truth to it.. but i have a buddy that knows branch, and told me that.. but only branch knows. he probably has more injuries that have been covered up, like a lot of guys do

 

[Michaelthomasj]

to be at that level, and train with that intensity...injuries will happen, but you know what they say...no pain no gain

 

[Big_Ed]

He is an animal! He has hurt him self. It even says so in the video that he tore his tricep recently.

 

[Kaladryn]

He's not going to hurt himself because he's not training that heavy, for him. 315 on shoulder press is easy as cake for him, and he's building up to it with lots of reps and sets. There is nothing wrong with is form, he's just training explosively.

Comments both here and under that youtube video about it being incline press are dumb. That angle is ideal for hitting front delts, a perfectly vertical military press is lots of medial delt, he's going for all anterior.

always have been a huge warren fan... he improves every year... cant wait til he gets the win he is after...

One of the most respected BBers to me. I think he is over looked a lot of the time. He seems to stay away from all the publicity, which is great.

 

[D.Bone]

He's a animal... but always getting injured... wouldnt be worth it to me...

 

[sexyboy]

that sure dont look to safe. lol

That was pretty intense. He knocks out those shoulder presses with almost no pause.

This vid is shot at the Metroflex Gym Arlington -- they shoot a lot of vids for Branch there.

Metroflex Gym :: A Hardcore Training Facility

I met him and most of the guys in the vid. They are regular people, just BIG. I've seen him do bentover rows with 200lb dumbells. Yes, they have
200lb dumbells made up at this place. It is hardcore. There is a picture of Branch hanging above the entrance to the gym area being awarded "Most Muscular" by Arnold. I used to work out there. It's a cool place. It's definitely a gym and not a "fitness club."

I don't care what anybody says. He sure is big! BUT HE TRAINS LIKE A FUCKING LUNATIC. I would never say "well, he's bigger than me, so it must work!"

Lifting weight works. Do it safely and you won't hurt yourself. He's a genetic anomoly. Try what he does for a year. See how your body reacts.

NO THANKS.

 

[brazil]

my roomate has a video of him and his buddy lifting like nutcases. Yelling and throwing around barbells with weights then chucking them and smashing the other equipment.

 

[minister]

He did more reps in those 9 minutes than I do all month,LOL. Intense but a little insane. Gob bless you all.
