Best chest ever

[bazookasword]

fuuuark dat chest and dem legs

srs tho, he looked great back then

[Jishuku]

He's gone down hill since then. While his upper body has caught up with his legs, his structure has gotten worse. But to his defense, he is older now.

Off-topic: Jeez.. time goes fast. 11 years. Felt like yesterday I watched 9/11 on the news. I'm getting old too. :P

[OliFs]

Hahaha and people say he doesn't have good genetics. He has some of the best genetics I've ever seen. No flaws in this physique. Perhaps some minor proportion issues but jeez, striated quads, huge calves, super thick pecs with the hang too them, wide detailed back.. If anything he's one of the best genetically gifted pros.

[justinnnnn]

Wow.. That chest and those legs.. Not too many guys have that combo. only if he had a bigger back.

[TTimmerman]

wish i had balloons for chest

[the-craig]

It sounds strange but Branch Warren has a physique I would like to have right there.

[f0rcedr4ps]

And it's all downhill from here.

[MrSilverback]

If you look at the caliber of guys who compete in the NPC, he was already IFBB level in the NPC. Kind of amazing.

[lsk]

Woah....got any pics of him from that contest vs the competition?

[tumtum]

yeah.. it is funny ppl always talk about his "terrible genetics"... sorry terrible genetics dont put u there.. hell his first competition he stepped on stage at my offseason weight.. and he's wayyyy shorter..

and it took me 8 yrs to get to here lol..

bad genetics.. stfu

[Jishuku]

He definitely has great genetics.. you don't place that well in the Mr. O without it, politics or not.
It's just that he's being compared to others who are gifted with equally good or better genetics, who may also be younger. He's still one of the freakiest alive though.

2nd guy is one of the Coleman training partners back in the days.

[Braveheart91]

Not gonna lie he looked crazy back then

[shisouka]

and to think.. all he had to do was tear a few things, bloat himself a little and ruin his proportions to get a couple of arnold classics under his belt. #ifbbisntfixed

[handyman89]

Man he always looks rock hard and shredded ..wheels of peace!

Yeah, he def should have walked over Ronnie, Jay, Levrone, Wheeler........

Oh wait?

[Rsardinia]

I'd argue that was one of the best fronts in the history of bodybuilding. If he could have just kept it chill on the crazy training and focused on bringing up his back, he could have easily had one of the best physiques of all time. I know he has still done well for himself but those tears really detract from his very pleasing yet freaky physique he had in 2001.

dat chest

[NVious]

Just needs to tear a few muscles/whine about his "horrible" genetics/praise God and swear a lot and he'll be on his way to being an IFBB champion!

[caliguy2010]

wow he looked way good even back then 11 years ago

[tsiparlanaeht]

So DRY!

[HBKHitman]

any shots of a side tri?
I think he looks great (best pose he has) now in a side tri, I'm curious to see what it was like back then
