**IcyHotNate** · 10-17-2006, 11:21 PM

I think someone else brought that up here at one point, along with pics of blotchy skin on his forehead.

I found this one from July 06.

damn branch looked at least ten years younger in that pic and its only 6... i dont kno first thing that comes to mind when i see branch is that one pool of bbers who are numbered in order of most likely not enjoy a long life.

**IcyHotNate** · 10-17-2006, 11:29 PM

It's a hard sport. Extreamly demanding. His paycheck depends on him being the biggest and freakiest...

He does what he has to do to make a living. Too bad it's hurting his life.

**bbjeff86** · 10-18-2006, 05:19 AM

I see how people can say he looks unhealthy... but that doesn't mean that he is, maybe he is, maybe he's not. I think it's just the fact that he's very vascular and gets in extremely good condition and has that dry grainy look that only Dorian Yates has sported before... and sometimes Dave Henry does as well... however neither of them has the same vascularity so it doesn't look as unhealthy.

**superdrool** · 10-18-2006, 05:38 AM

He looks WAY older than he really is...almost like he's 50

**AdamJames** · 10-18-2006, 05:49 AM

Looks like the grim reaper is not far from his door step.. he looks like hell and he completely ruined his physique. I used to like him.

I agree 100%

**2_GuNz_Up** · 10-18-2006, 08:50 AM

He's one of my favorites as well.
He doesn't look "unhealthy" at all in that pic, if anything his arms look freaking huge!

**heftizzle** · 10-18-2006, 05:47 PM

I know this is going way off topic, but they say you age faster if you do not sleep that much. I read all of his articles in MD and he always says that he only sleeps 5 hours or so a night where as a lot of other pros try to get in upwords of 9 hours of sleep. It gets even worse when he diets down. He then says he only sleeps 3 hours a night. I don't think it is a juice thing. I personally think he is burning the candle at both ends. He has mapped out his day and it is packed to say the least. He spends a lot of time running his gym and training business.

**RiK** · 10-18-2006, 05:59 PM

It's cos he's naturally so damn red.

**edizzle** · 10-18-2006, 06:29 PM

i agree he looks unhealthy, i think its his sick ass vascularity

I still think dude should maybe get on some flax oil, grape juice and a glass a wine...the veinage has me worried about him.

**Guardian** · 10-18-2006, 07:32 PM

He just holds less water then most people which can often lead to someone looking older. Dorian yates actually looks younger now then when he was competing lol.

**empresscat** · 10-18-2006, 08:46 PM

Agreed - everyone looks older when they are that dry. Compare women, especially, off season and on - and you can see that their faces look ten years older when they lean out to extremes.

I know someone who's worked with Branch (prepped him at the Olympia) and says Branch is doing fine.

As for balding, well - you can tell in the earlier pics his hair was thinning, so that's no big deal.

**Antoine** · 10-18-2006, 09:19 PM

Branch is one of my favorites.

**cennys** · 10-19-2006, 07:20 AM

HE JUST AS A VERY LOW BF in this photo,

theres multiple pictures not just the leg press one. but like someone said looks of age doesnt nessicsarly refelect on how much he has to live..

he, to me, looks like achain smoker.. at least in his face.

**MCWlightsout** · 10-23-2006, 10:32 AM

do you think this is a healthy sport? Being over weight, dealing with high blood pressure, putting your body in over drive constantly, tearing up your vital organs inside bodybuilders are headed for heart attack and stroke city.

**7digits** · 10-23-2006, 10:53 AM

he needs to lay off the horse juice.

Is that photo from flex? Because I think its been touched up, no way are his arms that big. Or maybe hes just extremly pumped.

hey, in my mind, he looks awesome in that picture.

**csumt76** · 10-23-2006, 03:56 PM

Doesn't he own his own gym in SouthLake Texas??? So he runs a business, trains clients and also finds time to drive to MetroFlex in Arlington to work out where Ronnie does? Sounds like a hell of a load to take on... stress will make you look old in a hurry.

**blondo** · 10-23-2006, 10:39 PM

and overweight makes you look older. 20 pounds less=5 years younger, thats a rule.
