branch

anyone else see the pics of his torn lat. sucks for him but after seeing footage of his training its to be expected. he has torn his tricep and bicep and was able to recover without a problem but i would have to say this injury is the nail in the coffin, had some serious atrophy going on at the arnold. right lat insertion at the armpit, same as ronnie. being that johnnie jackson trains in a very similar fashion i look for him to tear something next. freeman's pec tear actually doesnt look to bad must have not been that bad of a tear. lots of injuries on the pro stages lately. ruhl also torn pec, though an inner pec tear.

have'nt seen pics but that sucks. i liked branch, he had a mighty physique and good lines. I would not count him out all together. But tears like that usually mean the end. I like to be positve, I mean these guys a warriors and have a never say die attitude, this can work for or against them sometimes. I hope he recovers and continues to make some noise in this sport.

I saw some pics and it looks really, really bad. A tough one to recover from IMO. I have never seen any of his training footage though. Is it reckless? You are right about the number of tears these days though. Seems there are a lot happening, but these guys really push the limits

Damn! I haven't seen the pics but as everyone has said, this does not sound good for Branch... Man I hate that because he is one of my favorite bb's... I hope that he can get through it and keep competing, but if its as bad as you guys say then I highly doubt it... Plus he is supposed to be guest posing at the Jr USA's in Charleston, but I guess that is out to... I was looking forward to seeing him there...

Why doesn't someone help him with his color!

Damn!! that's f'ed up man. He has some major damage there. I hope he comes back from that but it looks really bad. I guess we'll wait and see.

his training form is beyond reckless, lots of momentum. obviously it worked for him siz wise but also put him at an increased risk for injury, i thought he would blow a pec before anything
