bodybuildinglif...
Interview with Branch Warren, preparing for the Arnold Classic of 6-7 march 2009

[@Chaaarge]

Branch and ronnie are my favorite bodybuilders! Branch has the most incredible work ethics!

[@etard82]

Guy...soooo great to hear someone that competes talking about years... instead of instant results..... great vid... really enjoyed watching and listening

[@TheViralSweed]

he has faaaaaaaaaantastic tri's! some of the best in the game! verry proud and supporting this guys work!

[@DEVILxMAYxCRYx5]

this takes alot of motivation to become this big. Props!

[@jurekweis9169]

Maaan. He truely looked the best 2009! Just through and througj, from top to toe. If Jay wouldn't have been the best version of himself that yeae, I truely belive we had Branch winning the Olympia!

[@jensohjens]

one of the most motivating bodybuilders on this planet!

[@JUMPMAN23MCM]

Branch, Your words are great!

[@Dudelookslikeeylady]

Yea I totally agree. I was one of those who dident belive in eating much and getting bulky. But then I read this great article and changed my mind. Cause the more u eat, the better you eat, the harder you train the faster u will grow. And by having excess bodyfat you will be stronger, lift heavier and it will result in more muscle growth. I know alot of "in shape" guys at the gym who are so concernd with never getting fat that they dont gain ANY strenght or any size

[@collin355]

Ive always grown from it..i train chest shoulder tris traps one day all pressing movements.. next time at the gym back biceps forearms pulling movements..next time at the gym qauds hams and abs...i try and go 4 days a week but usually only make it 3 days sometimes 2 days..and i will train my calves on 2 of those gym days...would love to go more and get more treadmill or stair climber in but i got work and family so it limits me..im in and out after 1 hour..it works for me.and i eat like a champ

[@MoneyR8]

my favorite bodybuilder .. so motivational

[@MoneyR8]

Branch Warren is my favorite bodybuilder.

[@23codez]

Holy shit! His shoulders got WAY BIGGER. Plus his triceps are on point after the injury. Good job.

[@Sizerian]

1:43 HOLY FUCK....as long as I've followed Branch and seen his videos, somehow I was still not prepared for that....those arms and delts are INSANE

[@AussieAngeS]

Man...I love branch

[@aussiebowhunter01]

obviously its working for him, look at him, people always critisize it makes them feel better and important

[@hellawaits77NY]

Same here! I can't stand when people criticize PRO BODYBUILDER's form. I mean of all people to criticize, the best bodybuilders in the world? Jesus, give me a break! It obviously works for them. Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman do not use great form, pretty sure it works for them. It's like these people read in Muscle and Fitness or FLEX Magazine "oh, you must use perfect form or your muscles won't grow." These same idiots who criticize these pro's are usually the guys who can't Bench 225 and have 14" arms.

[@MaxiH4l]

HUGE...I hope Branch will win Mr. Olympia next time..He´s the Best and he should become a legend like Ronnie Coleman and Arnold. i love his training!

[@TheFirstAmendment]

Also having good form increases the muscle growth and tears in the muscles when you don't use momentum. You ever hear the term control the weight don't let it control you?

[@Gfors85]

I love it when he pulls down that rope, his triceps is like machinery! awsome!

[@todd48371]

u are huge man.... hope to get my shoulders even half as big in my lifetime

[@Vas1984]

I know a lot of people who go to the gym but dont even look like they do lol i think a lot of people think just by "going" to the gym you will see results. It's like going to school and not paying attention in class, just because you are there doesnt mean you will learn. Not many people train hardcore in gyms anymore and it shows. Branch is looking huge by the way damn!

[@shotgun14141414]

I love his attiitude he's fuckin confident!! go branch !!!!!

[@thuglife88888]

i think this is the perfect body shape and size, keep it up man!

[@charmharmany4143]

That sounds good to me. wether it is too much or not depends on how much time you allow for 'adaptation'. If u love training n just love barbell curls, cable curls n preacher curls for bicep, fair enough. But put that into the recovery equation. Simply the more u do, the more time off u need. I pick machine curls because they give me resistance at start,middle n fully contracted position. Using free weights, u may have to do all three. I often only do one set for quads!! but at end i nearly hurl

[@RmagicmanJ]

what a great dude...

[@Keepinitreal2011]

well done dude from ireland you work hard fair play:)

[@yasinpatel12345]

i hear you on the fitness enthusiasts thing hell yesterday me and my friend were doing squats and i heard and saw ppl makincomments on our workout who were not even half our size im sick an tired of hater's in the gym its like wat branch said they don't respect your workout now days..

[@EDtheIslander]

I agree gyms nowadays arent what they used to be.There are very few hardcore gyms now where you can train as loud and intense as you want without people interrupting you with stupid comments and questions.I had to buy my own equipetment and start training at home.

[@yurisanchez7457]

Awesome... very strong to much.. Congratulations

[@soul4tran]

He's a beast!!! Huge! Sounds like a cool guy too. :) Great results...hard work pays off.

[@goldmine1995]

Great form on the miliety press

[@diversitytvnet]

Not bad Branch... Can't wait to see you at the Olympia..

[@dylan_8993]

the front delt is gonna make his delts look more capped while the mid-delt is for the look of overall mass.

[@wombtstyle]

Mad respect!!!

[@God_Bolt]

HOLY SHIT look at that trizeps !!!!!!!!!!

[@1Bassmasta1]

Branch is a beast :)

[@phantom5573]

Just awesome!!!!

[@activebryantsystems215]

go man go good to see

[@charmharmany4143]

Very true sothe 'progression becomes 1 extra rep the following workout.But this could represent a 10% improvement. The longer u have ben trainin, the smaller thos improvements willbe and the harder u have to train. I too have used static holds and strongest range partials with good results. Im always looking for more intense contractions. If close 2 maxin out I may have to train every 2 weeks. Ill do that if i have to.I'll let others worry about it. Imnotafraid 2 bedifferent for natural results.

[@9nYle3]

he has got two mount everests over his shoulders. And those delts.... fucking monstrous!

[@DeathMetalThunder]

Could someone give me some tips for lateral raises? I can't seem to really feel a burn in my delts when doing them, and I hardly sway at all. Should I use more weight and sway slightly?

[@charmharmany4143]

@SnuffDizz Even with his first cycle he will eventually overtrain and instead of reducing sets etc he would compensate for the increased stresses of more size and strength, with higher dosages. This would go on until he gets to be the second best bber in the world. This explains why guys are getting bigger without actually training hard or harder. So..his training does work but ONLY because such high dosages make him like that beginna again!

[@HarryPotter047]

i don`t get it .. is it better to train volume to put mass on ? or just heavy weight.. and 12 reps? .. i`m new into bodybuilding btw

[@kyle9003]

at 1:06 the guy in the backround is doing side oblique raises with two dumbells

[@maury9817]

THATS VIDEO WAS BEFORE ARNOLD CLASSIC

[@KoomiB]

Branch Warren deserves to be Mr.Olympia.

[@SnuffDizz]

notice how branch do his presses/benches/front presses in a very fast, almost halfrep (to keep muscletension) plyometric kind of fashion, this flies directly in the face of all those stANDARD textbook 2 seconds concentric 4 seconds slow eccentric BUT IT OBVIOUSLY WORKS, he is a true power bb, his moves are very explosives to build strength but the range is carefully controlled

[@tornadosteve1]

I like how he's speaking on this.....

[@joebrick23]

Awesome: Do you take protein shake too!!!!

[@BigHallzy]

Very very cool. looks damn good!!

[@collin355]

I've always grown from volume training and have also had great results from STATIC training...HIT slow to no gains

[@WideReceiver45]

his triceps are HUGE!!

[@collin355]

nice language..i have just about every bb mag since the early 80s and have seen yates routines..he himself has stated he did volume training and later on swithched to HIT..and the funny thing is he was never doing hit..his routines that I have read from the early 90s were for example 3 chest exercises and for example on bench press he would do 1st set 135 2nd set 225 3rd set 315..he would call those warm ups and then would do 415pounds which he would call a working set....

[@collin355]

I already know that..I hit each body part about every 6 days..I noticed my body changes the most from week to week depending on how I eat..if I drink alot of beer i look good about 3 hours in but the next day i look flat and depleated..If I alot of clean food for say 7 days straight I look great..

[@badderthanyou]

Put in headphones and ignore people. Also, how many cycles to get that big?

[@saneroner]

Warren has some massive tri's

[@BigGee614]

What do they mean when they say "I'm 3 weeks out"? Like 3 weeks from taking some time off or something?

[@SR4LosersIsMYBITCH]

He's gotten much bigger since this video!!

[@mikeyab88]

He's got a point about Gold's now its so popular that everyone and their mom works out there

[@cjstauner18]

yea like straight up and down either sitting or standing. 100% incline

[@posada37]

high weight low reps is for building bulk. Low weight high reps is for toning .

[@unrealexplorer]

Branch is cool in my book !after the shit he has been thru to get back to were he is now is very impressive indeed. This juice bs means very little, try and lift as heavy and as dedicated as this guy and hold down a business and family life, never mind strict preparation for contests.

[@kieranfleming7538]

this is first video ive seen of branch out of metroflex

[@nukleuz89]

Somebody can tell me where to find hats like Branch online or wathever

[@ngma03]

Steroids or not doesn't matter he works hard. Don't hate!!! Long live bodybuilding, it is only for those who want to do it. Branch Warren Mr. O one of these days!!!

[@kabilan]

ngma03 👍👍👍

[@Dudelookslikeeylady]

u dont even pay attention do you? he just said in this video that before he got injured he did reps on 405 in military presses. + this was a lighter workout

[@jeasy02]

@benchmstr o fo real? Right now I'm trainin at a powerhouse type gym and I think it's probably the realest gym I've ever been to. dumbells up to 200lbs, old school plates, and they don't get on you if you drop your weights...

[@TheHardTruth101]

@50centfaneminem i agree. but it only takes 1 to prevent him from hoisting a Sandow

[@charmharmany4143]

volume traing is not totally evil. If it bring results and your conscience isnt giving you 'toohard a time' over its leck of effieciency then fine. Just remember as we get bigger n stronger, we have tomake ever more severe stresses to the body and these MUST be compensated for. ALL of us r on this journey, its just that many ignore itn make NO progress foryears, or pros increase their dosages to horrific levels through 'fear n ignorance'

[@keepitallday]

@YORKshireMANN THANK YOU

[@deumcole]

Check out the dude doing side bends, epic

[@JayDee98765]

@dwiseus do you think its rude to ask someone to share a machine?..I know some people do, but ive always figured its not too much hassle?..

[@hulkhogantupaclover]

@SplatterFreak Haha! Awesome comment dude! The Hulkster has the right to steal studio equipment ;-)

[@motivation131]

I like this guy

[@inktoxicated]

branch is the shit. from what i see on the tube

[@sz42781]

@krasi3 how many more do you need?

[@LoganCart]

what is a good way to get carbs in you?

[@RIPJoeRogan69]

@dwiseus I always love it when people ask how much I can bench, but asking how many sets...FUCK OFF!! lol

[@cliffjumper11]

his triceps amaze me

[@Kermithe1]

This guy is legit!

[@rexxroberts1905]

Beast

[@jow031]

@YORKshireMANN some people dont even know what they're saying, that dan13718 is one of them..

[@juanma19711]

my god,,,,,he¨s got a perfect arms,the shoulders,are fantastic.......good luck men.

[@MegaJustice2]

ok i get you. i was only refering to muscular size. i think i could get as big as him. it would take a couple years, but i think i could do it. i just have 16 inch arms and a 45 inch chest right now.

[@admiradoruno]

wow... fantastico!!!

[@needabloodyname]

All respect to Branch and believe me i'm not trolling or hating but anyone else notice how he talks about how he trained shoulders without slinging and jerking while swinging and jerking haha

[@daedcpl]

@KoomiB Yeah man, sucks he came close again. He'll get it some day.

[@microfttt]

good job

[@MusclePrinciples]

Very good point DimebagVision. I used to go to a gym where hardcore guys where lifting in the same place with the people who just want to get fit spending hours on cardio equipement... That sucked. Now I go to a gym where there are two separate halls - one for fitness (machines, cardio and sh*) and the other one - only free weights :) And also women have got a separate hall aswell which from one point of view is a good thing, from other - not, cuz I miss the beautiful booties ))))

[@KNByam]

He's right about one thing, people have very little gym etiquette.

[@charmharmany4143]

Hardgaina? Yes coz i have to train brutally hard 2 gain. Lucky u if u dont, or u let the gear do it for u!! My ONE set of curls is ultra strict, even at the end, and taken to failure. When and only when i tain like that does my body respond. There are times i may plan 2 do 2 sets of chest but im so fried afta 1 that ive had more than enuff. Can u saythe same about your training? U do 8 sets of chest? Wot happens if u do 7? U get smaller? Have u ever tried 2 find out wot is the least i can do?

[@realoutdoors]

AMEN !

[@ImGonnaFailExam]

Where is the rear delt workout?

[@charmharmany4143]

Im STILL waiting for you to answer my questions.

[@charmharmany4143]

Talking mentzer, he did build a decent physique with volume, enough toget him 3rd i think at me america, but he has always stated he was just not getting anymore 'output' for such 'input'. He built a lot of muscle as an already advanced bodybuilder using HIT.But the real 'master' was ray mentzer. The guy got upto around 280 with HIT. I saw him in seminar in july 85 n he said his chest routine was one set pec dek n one set inc press! The guy was gettin bigga with such brief yet intense training!!

[@SaulMeyersz]

is that tom plattz walkin by at 4:04 ?

[@selathael]

only 3 workouts for shoulder ?

[@DangerousBoy88]

hes got 1 crazy build size and rip, the onli thing is how do these guys get ripped without losing muscle tissue, i got the size but i can get that rip

[@Dudelookslikeeylady]

@HugoBeaumont AMEN!

[@HATEHACKERZZ]

In shoulder press if ur in a slight angle u target the front delts more
