Branden Ray - new IFBB Pro

[Shelby]

Branden won the light heavyweight class at the NPC Nationals this weekend.

I think he can make an impact in the 202s in years to come.

 

[Jello]

Yes

Definitely going to be a top contender soon.

Look up ripped in the dictionary!

used to train at his gym when he lived in maryland he's about 5'5-5'6 on a good day. incredible physique...reminds me of a mini david henry. without a doubt the future of the 202's.

 

[Shelby]

He's a bit shallow in the back.. it will be interesting to see how much he can improve that, and still stay a 202.

 

[Johnny Smiles]

what did he weigh in this show?

its interesting to see how "big" these guys can get and still weigh 202

198 but he could have dropped a bit more, IMO.

I love his look. Very aesthetically pleasing, much more so than English and even Henry....he's just got great lines and symmetry...good x-frame with his thick delts, small waist, and quad sweep....

 

[Johnny Smiles]

from that pic he kinda looks like a hybrid of kevin english and dave henry.

[Shelby]

back (not his best angle, IMO)

 

[Shelby]

side (good thickness head to toe.. he's so ROUND from the front and side)

 

[VTliftVT]

He certainly earned this IMO as he had one of the best overall packages in the show. One of the most asthetically pleasing looks in the game for sure.

JS, he definitely has "Henry-eque" shoulders and chest in that MM shot above.

 

[slyder]

Looks like all his posing oil came off of his back! Could have been just a tad harder from the back, and he'll need to get those hams thicker to hang with the big boys...how's his ham drop in the side chest?

Quick draw mcgraw there with those pics....side chest looks great in that pic, just a little more hams and that's MONEY.

 

[Ashop]

He has some great potential. Love his shape.

 

[Shelby]

Henry would crush him in that most muscular shot.. and Henry is about 2 inches shorter too.

Absolutely...Henry is a absolute monster in that pose. Personally, I was just referring to his shape.
