Branch Warren 2nd place

[Flex]

Why?

From stories, seeing him with his fans, and seeing him at the Arnold...seems like a dick.

I have nothing against him physique-wise.

Still seems like you're trying to build a house from straw here.

Saying "I can't stand Dex" was not really accurate, I didn't describe my personal feelings that well. It would be better said as "if he is the person many people say he is, then I don't care for him."

some of you fools are funny hatin on branch. must say im a huge phil heath fan, but your guys minds are all clouded by all the hype. branch looked fucking sick as hell...back improved and arms bigger, super conditioned. i think he deserved it. kai, phil in better shape...totally different story. anyways, branch deserved 2nd. shit dex doesnt even have any fucking calves....not a complete bodybuilder, PERIOD.

No calves vs no back and bis... well judged.

Same here. Everyone that I know that have met him (only 4 guys) said he isn't nearly as nice as the other pro's that give the fans time of day to answer questions and pose for pictures.

They'd be his weakpoints

What's not to understand?

Compared to the rest of his body, they're not good.

I'm not hating on Branch, I was hating on the judges. But, after seeing the score cards and pictures, I think the judging was fair.

Dex is a dick and has an arrogance about him...that's from meeting him in person at the ASC and just seeing the way he acted around fans etc....that being said he is one of the most consistent bodybuilders on the circuit today. Never been a fan of his physique but that's just personal preference. Can't deny the guy comes in shape.

I just think although he is obviously in shape, he looks smooth to me when he hits poses like these:

I'm not hating on Branch, he stepped it up big time this year. I'm pissed at the judges for giving a guy with a wider waist, weak arms, weak back 2nd place over a guy (Dexter) that beats him in all of those areas and more.

For the next year Branch is going to act like he is the 2nd best bodybuilder in the world, LOL which he is not.

 

[SerbMarko]

I think he deserved it, he was at his all time best.. hands down..

 

[SerbMarko]

anyone else notice how much his front double bicep has improved? its like night and day!!

08 Arnold

09 Olympia

 

[Pain]

Those pics tell a different story. He was on.

definitely.. i think this was well deserved for Branch, whatever he did differently for this prep he needs to keep doing it, unless its something that will harm his health..

 

[Beau]

Ya when he walked out friday night he looked unreal...had that grainy, dry look. He still needs to work on the back but he was in the shape of his life and you gotta be happy for a guy like Branch who pretty much came out of left field in this show

I think his back double bi will also look better if he pulls his elbows back a bit.

 

[SerbMarko]

I think his back double bi will also look better if he pulls his elbows back a bit.

possibly, i think he struggles with some poses due to his injury, i think last year at the Arnold he had to keeps his elbows down a bit in his front double bicep, maybe im wrong but his poses seem to differ a bit all the time.. this year he hit everything almost dead nuts.
