Branch is three weeks out, feeling good and thinks he's ahead of schedule. He talks about his workout, his chances at the Arnold and how he's bounced back from his injuries. In case you didn't know, he's torn a tricep and had surgery August 15, 2008.
Shoulders & Triceps

I think the Arnold after all will be a great show!

I'm surprised with Branch! he is looking very very good!

I think he is in his best shape so far!

I might have to change my top 5 pick in the other thread.

First of all he looks grainy!!! great condition so far, from what i've seen in this vid, and wow! his "torn" triceps looks like he said, better than ever! with striations and all, definitely top 4 at the ASC this year.

Thanks for the vid D!

he's still my all-time favorite. Genuine guy. Hard as nails when it comes to training. No bullshit. I hope he does SERIOUS damage at the Arnold. I got faith in him :shakefist:

Is it just me, or does it seem who ever made up these questions for Brian and Branch is trying to discredit Dave Palumbo's low carb diet and his training service?

4th place in my list


Update: Feb 18 - Chest Pt2 - Prep for the Arnold

In this succeeding segment, we see Branch continuing his chest workout with heavy dumbbell presses.

Brian Dobson contributes by providing a voice over talking about the time leading up to Branch's tricep tear and how Branch managed to over come it.

This is Branch's last heavy workout before the final weeks leading into the 2009 Arnold Classic

There must be something to country music that helps with super heavy intense training!

Hmmmm could be....I thought they were more so leaning towards guys like Charles glass. Kinda goes hand in hand with Branch's apparent dislike towards gold's and the mecca of bodybuilding. Who knows...
