Along with more muscle there seems to be an extra 20-30 lbs of water lol I usually don’t get into the dose convos heavy and genetics are obviously a roll here but visually you can see the vast disparity in drugs or at least androgens I dunno maybe dude takes oceans of winny and I’m wrong about total. Mind you I love Nick I’ll say this I have pics with Branch when he’s been off season, chill mode not bulking and we are pretty much the same in general, fast forward to where he guest posing and I’m competing-this could be say 4 months later and the difference is DRAMATIC and I know the training isn’t much difference, he had more time in the gym I was 23 b4 I was serious and Branch was Teen Nats champ but genetics are undeniable

I mean, there’s a difference to US…to our moms or our ladies, there really isn’t. Also, Dorian was an elite level national competitor. So he’s no slouch.

True unless your chic competes then she wants a winner

ive seen pics of Branch offseason dude was a waterbuffalo but come comp time he was fuckin shredded!

Stage he was always shredded whole career but towards the end he woukd not blow up just seemed to be on less gear. I never asked but he’s healthy far as I know and I think all of us scaled back as we age also you reach a point where blowing up in the off season isn’t necessary after decades of doing it the muscle is there. Putting on 40 lbs is just more weight to lose. 10 years ago I would’ve said that’s insane but turns out everyone else was right just took getting over 40 for me to realize that lol
