I don't know man I think it's better when I listen to the pros talking. You really learn new things, and learn more about them too.

Yea, and bring back Dave Palumbo also, his rxm vids are much better.

^^ That's would be difficult for him. Top 10, no doubt, top 6... I don't think so.

I tend to agree. The field is deep this year, he'd have to be at his best ever to be comfortably in the top 5-6. I thought it was interesting none of the guys surveyed by flexonline had him in their top 6.

If Branch will be in a better condition than 09 ASC (even if he looked crazy like he was), and with some improvements in his back, i think he could break that top 6.

Branch is looking freaky.Thick as a brick wall.Amazing.Good ROM or not, he's busting his ass.Anyway, considering the only sure spots in the top 6 are Heath, Dex and Kai, the 3 spots left are to be contended among Victor, Jay, Wolf, Freeman, Warren, and if Branch comes in just a bit better than the Arnold where he deserved 2nd place, he can crack it.His vasculirity is matched by no one, and his size has increased.

his rom on these back exercises is the worst ive seen on any pro. but poor back training aside he still has the best legs and chest in the pros should be enough to get him top 8 maybe top 6 :icon_ninja:

thats alot of back work.
I dont think even Ron ever did 250 quarter bent over shrugs.

Damn that was a boring training video.

haha my thoughts exactly.........branch knows he has a weak back so u wuld think he would do something else for his back training....yet he does the same old boring workout time and time again instead of making sum changes in hopes of improving his back
