branch should have been 3 rd - he was the hardest guy there - just not the package judges are looking for -

kim klein i know personally -- good friend - she did great - hope she finally gets the olympia this year

somehow branch looks odd in pictures. as massive as he is, his shoulder width just seems tiny on stage.

true -- he was in some shape yesterday -- best for him yet -- phill heath s potential is scary -- i love his and dennis wolfes overall look --

I feel kinda sorry for Branch. He is usually the most shredded guy in the show but his delts and especially arms will always hold him back. His chest and quads totally over-power his arms/delts and there is just nothing he could ever do about it.

On a side note, look at Kai Green's legs, good god...

good shit thanks for posting it

[Bouncer]

so from what i hear from a bunch of people is that Dexter acted like a real asshole after he won. basically saying that he doesn't really work very hard at this etc.. Arnold being the greatest wasn't going to have that. he says to dexter on stage, "so what is it then, you just pop a bunch of pills". hahahahha. they say dexter went from black to red in 1 second. hhaha. arnold is the best.

I just read an article about Kai Green. His legs are unreal.

And Phil Heath's arms are freakin huge!

I always wondered how Branch placed that high in so many events for that reason.

his condition. he is almost always hard as nails. his genetic shape holds him back though.

Iris Kyle was penalized for having steroid bumps on her ass ..That would suck ...

The girl I was helping with posing etc took 3rd in the amateurs - she has a ton of potential - I'm pretty sure her sights are on junior nationals now....

that link says "disqualified" and thats not really correct. she placed 7th. she may have been penalized but not disqualified.
