is this current or photo shoped because he looks a lot younger in face than recent pictures of him

- - - Updated - - -

and he has hair in this pic, he hasn't had hair in over 10 years

 

[nuknuk]

Think you misunderstood this. It is a younger pic of him, at his best. Now he looks bad and has took a turn for the worse from what he did look like in the past.

 

[dorian123]

oh I follow now, he has come in very hard and grainy for the last couple years...

now it seems like he holds a lot of water, noticed that a lot of people seem to think that he took a toll on his body the last few years to get that grainy look and now it's not worth it???

 

[chotto]

He trains like a lunatic and usually gets injured doing so. You would think that he would learn.

I don't care what you all say branch kicks ass! You can't get more hard core nor be as big and bad ass at his height. Just my 2 cents

IMO I think alot of the pro's look better in the NPC than what they had to do to become competive in the IFBB

don't get me wrong I think the guy is hardcore but the bottom line is nobody can keep up that intensity forever, the guy has been training and dieting like crazy for how many years now?

I like Branch, but I have to agree with Chris, these guys look great in the NPC then just get cartoonish in order to compete in the IFBB and it takes away a lot of what got them there

anyone got other pics to post a side by side

 

[chotto]

I was going through a Charles Poliquin book that I have and it had a picture of him. I didn't even recognize him. He looked good.

 

[Lightsout]

I have to agree I think he looked better in his younger days. Then he dose now.

 

[The Dude]

Overall I agree, however, that look wouldn't have earned him a glance on the Olympia stage. He absolutely looked perfect in his younger years, but freakish qualities are what gets your name out there and the judges looking at you. He did what he had to do.

His arms looked proportional to the rest of his body and actually were a strong point in the NPC. Now he has t rex arms compared to the rest of him. I guess this just shows how much size he put on as a pro.

 

[Rep]

Not a branch fan in the least. Nothing personal. Oh, off note but my friends and I are always talking about the old days BBr's and Vic Richards came up so we googled some of him and DAMN was he a freak. Sorry, to go off thread

 

[mike ross]

you dont get all that size and bloat without upping the drugs. People wanna see the freaks. Ive trained with Kai Greene and Terry Norris personally in jacksonville when Kai was first making a splash in the NPC....looked we better then with a tight waist and hour glass shape...then more drugs, more insulin, more peps, MORE, MORE, MORE...and now you have the behemoth you see today...With Nuk on this one too.

I personally like the way he looks when he trains and walking around. I don't like the way he looks on stage, just has a different look and he doesn't tan well.
