Guy...soooo great to hear someone that competes talking about years... instead of instant results..... great vid... really enjoyed watching and listening
Ive always grown from it..i train chest shoulder tris traps one day all pressing movements.. next time at the gym back biceps forearms pulling movements..next time at the gym qauds hams and abs...i try and go 4 days a week but usually only make it 3 days sometimes 2 days..and i will train my calves on 2 of those gym days...would love to go more and get more treadmill or stair climber in but i got work and family so it limits me..im in and out after 1 hour..it works for me.and i eat like a champ
Maaan. He truely looked the best 2009! Just through and througj, from top to toe. If Jay wouldn't have been the best version of himself that yeae, I truely belive we had Branch winning the Olympia!
Yea I totally agree. I was one of those who dident belive in eating much and getting bulky. But then I read this great article and changed my mind. Cause the more u eat, the better you eat, the harder you train the faster u will grow. And by having excess bodyfat you will be stronger, lift heavier and it will result in more muscle growth. I know alot of "in shape" guys at the gym who are so concernd with never getting fat that they dont gain ANY strenght or any size
Same here! I can't stand when people criticize PRO BODYBUILDER's form. I mean of all people to criticize, the best bodybuilders in the world? Jesus, give me a break! It obviously works for them. Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman do not use great form, pretty sure it works for them. It's like these people read in Muscle and Fitness or FLEX Magazine "oh, you must use perfect form or your muscles won't grow." These same idiots who criticize these pro's are usually the guys who can't Bench 225 and have 14" arms.
I know a lot of people who go to the gym but dont even look like they do lol i think a lot of people think just by "going" to the gym you will see results. It's like going to school and not paying attention in class, just because you are there doesnt mean you will learn. Not many people train hardcore in gyms anymore and it shows. Branch is looking huge by the way damn!
I agree gyms nowadays arent what they used to be.There are very few hardcore gyms now where you can train as loud and intense as you want without people interrupting you with stupid comments and questions.I had to buy my own equipetment and start training at home.
i hear you on the fitness enthusiasts thing hell yesterday me and my friend were doing squats and i heard and saw ppl makincomments on our workout who were not even half our size im sick an tired of hater's in the gym its like wat branch said they don't respect your workout now days..
That sounds good to me. wether it is too much or not depends on how much time you allow for 'adaptation'. If u love training n just love barbell curls, cable curls n preacher curls for bicep, fair enough. But put that into the recovery equation. Simply the more u do, the more time off u need. I pick machine curls because they give me resistance at start,middle n fully contracted position. Using free weights, u may have to do all three. I often only do one set for quads!! but at end i nearly hurl
Also having good form increases the muscle growth and tears in the muscles when you don't use momentum. You ever hear the term control the weight don't let it control you?
All respect to Branch and believe me i'm not trolling or hating but anyone else notice how he talks about how he trained shoulders without slinging and jerking while swinging and jerking haha
Could someone give me some tips for lateral raises? I can't seem to really feel a burn in my delts when doing them, and I hardly sway at all. Should I use more weight and sway slightly?
volume traing is not totally evil. If it bring results and your conscience isnt giving you 'toohard a time' over its leck of effieciency then fine. Just remember as we get bigger n stronger, we have tomake ever more severe stresses to the body and these MUST be compensated for. ALL of us r on this journey, its just that many ignore itn make NO progress foryears, or pros increase their dosages to horrific levels through 'fear n ignorance'
Very true sothe 'progression becomes 1 extra rep the following workout.But this could represent a 10% improvement. The longer u have ben trainin, the smaller thos improvements willbe and the harder u have to train. I too have used static holds and strongest range partials with good results. Im always looking for more intense contractions. If close 2 maxin out I may have to train every 2 weeks. Ill do that if i have to.I'll let others worry about it. Imnotafraid 2 bedifferent for natural results.
total different side of branch warren, he cant drop the weights and yell out. yelling out, dropping the weights, def motivates me to lift hard! wish i can go to hardcore gyms
Branch is cool in my book !after the shit he has been thru to get back to were he is now is very impressive indeed. This juice bs means very little, try and lift as heavy and as dedicated as this guy and hold down a business and family life, never mind strict preparation for contests.
Steroids or not doesn't matter he works hard. Don't hate!!! Long live bodybuilding, it is only for those who want to do it. Branch Warren Mr. O one of these days!!!
notice how branch do his presses/benches/front presses in a very fast, almost halfrep (to keep muscletension) plyometric kind of fashion, this flies directly in the face of all those stANDARD textbook 2 seconds concentric 4 seconds slow eccentric BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WORKS, he is a true power bb, his moves are very explosives to build strength but the range is carefully controlled
@SnuffDizz Even with his first cycle he will eventually overtrain and instead of reducing sets etc he would compensate for the increased stresses of more size and strength, with higher dosages. This would go on until he gets to be the second best bber in the world. This explains why guys are getting bigger without actually training hard or harder. So..his training does work but ONLY because such high dosages make him like that beginna again!
Talking mentzer, he did build a decent physique with volume, enough toget him 3rd i think at me america, but he has always stated he was just not getting anymore 'output' for such 'input'. He built a lot of muscle as an already advanced bodybuilder using HIT.But the real 'master' was ray mentzer. The guy got upto around 280 with HIT. I saw him in seminar in july 85 n he said his chest routine was one set pec dek n one set inc press! The guy was gettin bigga with such brief yet intense training!!
I already know that..I hit each body part about every 6 days..I noticed my body changes the most from week to week depending on how I eat..if I drink alot of beer i look good about 3 hours in but the next day i look flat and depleated..If I alot of clean food for say 7 days straight I look great..
Branch and ronnie are my favorite bodybuilders! Branch has the most incredible work ethics!

1:43 HOLY FUCK....as long as I've followed Branch and seen his videos, somehow I was still not prepared for that....those arms and delts are INSANE
I love his attiitude

He's a beast!!! Huge! Sounds like a cool guy too. :) Great results...hard work pays off.

Branch Warren deserves to be Mr.Olympia.
Not bad Branch... Can't wait to see you at the Olympia..
I know a lot of people who go to the gym but dont even look like they do lol i think a lot of people think just by "going" to the gym you will see results.

Branch is looking huge by the way damn!
his triceps are HUGE!!
I like this guy
I like how he's speaking on this.....
good job
first time in a video i see Branch to workout without cheeting.
his triceps amaze me
He's gotten much bigger since this video!!
high weight low reps is for building bulk. Low weight high reps is for toning .
@YORKshireMANN THANK YOU
I agree gyms nowadays arent what they used to be.There are very few hardcore gyms now where you can train as loud and intense as you want without people interrupting you with stupid comments and questions.I had to buy my own equipetment and start training at home.
he has got two mount everests over his shoulders. And those delts.... fucking monstrous!
AMEN !
Beast
Good shit.
i hear you on the fitness enthusiasts thing hell yesterday me and my friend were doing squats and i heard and saw ppl makincomments on our workout who were not even half our size im sick an tired of hater's in the gym its like wat branch said they don't respect your workout now days..

I pick machine curls because they give me resistance at start,middle n fully contracted position. Using free weights, u may have to do all three. I often only do one set for quads!! but at end i nearly hurl
In shoulder press if ur in a slight angle u target the front delts more
Check out the dude doing side bends, epic
Also having good form increases the muscle growth and tears in the muscles when you don't use momentum. You ever hear the term control the weight don't let it control you?
the front delt is gonna make his delts look more capped while the mid-delt is for the look of overall mass.
HOLY SHIT look at that trizeps !!!!!!!!!!
He's got a point about Gold's now its so popular that everyone and their mom works out there
this is first video ive seen of branch out of metroflex
This guy is legit!
THATS VIDEO WAS BEFORE ARNOLD CLASSIC
look on guay in 1:05 :0 WTF????:D
Yes like fucking stupid
All respect to Branch and believe me i'm not trolling or hating but anyone else notice how he talks about how he trained shoulders without slinging and jerking while swinging and jerking haha
Branch is freakin huge.
He's right about one thing, people have very little gym etiquette.
my god,,,,,he¨s got a perfect arms,the shoulders,are fantastic.......good luck men.
Could someone give me some tips for lateral raises? I can't seem to really feel a burn in my delts when doing them, and I hardly sway at all. Should I use more weight and sway slightly?

2 days away from a bodybuilding competition.
Warren has some massive tri's
total different side of branch warren, he cant drop the weights and yell out. yelling out, dropping the weights, def motivates me to lift hard! wish i can go to hardcore gyms
i like branches smooth technique with heavy weights
hard man
@HugoBeaumont AMEN!
Branch is cool in my book !after the shit he has been thru to get back to were he is now is very impressive indeed. This juice bs means very little, try and lift as heavy and as dedicated as this guy and hold down a business and family life, never mind strict preparation for contests.
I've always grown from volume training and have also had great results from STATIC training...HIT slow to no gains
@Tubezy amen brother
i don`t get it .. is it better to train volume to put mass on ? or just heavy weight.. and 12 reps? .. i`m new into bodybuilding btw
at 1:06 the guy in the backround is doing side oblique raises with two dumbells
Steroids or not doesn't matter he works hard. Don't hate!!! Long live bodybuilding, it is only for those who want to do it. Branch Warren Mr. O one of these days!!!
ngma03 👍👍👍
yea like straight up and down either sitting or standing. 100% incline
@50centfaneminem i agree. but it only takes 1 to prevent him from hoisting a Sandow
you look good man!!! very big and lean !!!
yep, after his arm injury
notice how branch do his presses/benches/front presses in a very fast, almost halfrep (to keep muscletension) plyometric kind of fashion, this flies directly in the face of all those stANDARD textbook 2 seconds concentric 4 seconds slow eccentric BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WORKS, he is a true power bb, his moves are very explosives to build strength but the range is carefully controlled
@dwiseus I always love it when people ask how much I can bench, but asking how many sets...FUCK OFF!! lol
branch is the shit. from what i see on the tube
@SnuffDizz Even with his first cycle he will eventually overtrain and instead of reducing sets etc he would compensate for the increased stresses of more size and strength, with higher dosages. This would go on until he gets to be the second best bber in the world. This explains why guys are getting bigger without actually training hard or harder. So..his training does work but ONLY because such high dosages make him like that beginna again!
Branch speaking directly to the microphone is the only way to understand what he says lol :)
Somebody can tell me where to find hats like Branch online or wathever
Talking mentzer, he did build a decent physique with volume, enough toget him 3rd i think at me america, but he has always stated he was just not getting anymore 'output' for such 'input'.

BRANCH RULZ!!!!!
oh, my gosh!
Thanks for a good laugh, pal!
I already know that..I hit each body part about every 6 days..I noticed my body changes the most from week to week depending on how I eat..if I drink alot of beer i look good about 3 hours in but the next day i look flat and depleated..If I alot of clean food for say 7 days straight I look great..
Im STILL waiting for you to answer my questions.
@SplatterFreak Haha! Awesome comment dude! The Hulkster has the right to steal studio equipment ;-)
What do they mean when they say "I'm 3 weeks out"? Like 3 weeks from taking some time off or something?
@KoomiB Yeah man, sucks he came close again. He'll get it some day.
Agreed, when people interrupt sets it's fucking annoying!
