Branch Warren to Sit Out the 2011 Mr. Olympia

[Bouncer]

2011 Arnold Classic Champion Branch Warren will be sitting out the 2011 Mr. Olympia on September 16 & 17 in Las Vegas. Warren was a favorite to challenge for the title, but with only four weeks to go he suffered a torn quad tendon in his left leg. As often is the case, the injury didn't happen in the gym; Warren was in Atlanta for a guest posing appearance and he slipped on wet pavement getting into a car.

Damn! That quad will never be the same.

[Mr I]

Hes done tricep and shoulder before and come back just fine with no scars.

[dna9488]

sucks. Definitely want to see him come back next year and compete

[Mr I]

WTF

[decadecadeca]

I know crazy shit can happen from seemingly minor accidents, but a torn quad tendon from stepping into a car?

These guys are pushing things so far they're destroying themselves. That much size, drug use and heavy training is a recipe for disaster.

Fucking guys are as brittle as old men.

^ My thoughts exactly. Kinda like the rash of injuries we were seeing in baseball a few years ago with guys tearing shit up in their legs from running around the bases.

[Bouncer]

hey scrum, you are just a hater of the big dogs! :D

It's about functional fitness bro.... I don't see the point of getting so muscled up that you can't walk down the street without blowing out a knee or get gassed getting off the couch to go to the bathroom.
