Branch Warren & Johnnie Jackson Old School Chest 10 Weeks Out

Bodybuilding
GASP presents BIG IN TEXAS: The Branch & Johnnie Training Video Series
Branch Warren & Johnnie Jackson Old School Chest!
What does it take to train like Branch Warren or Johnnie Jackson? Find out in our exclusive video series, presented by GASP. In this eight-video series, Branch and Johnnie will be giving you a behind-the-scenes look into their Olympia training, as they take in inside the gym and show you what it takes to compete on bodybuilding's biggest stage.
This week, Branch and Johnnie train chest again at MetroFlex. But this time they are going back to old school chest training instead of the new powerlifting style of training that was featured in our last segment. At 10 weeks out from the Olympia, Johnnie explains why they are going old-school.

Planet Fitness would love to have these guys as their members.

[@magnuskongsgaard]

[@catmacros]

[@darinwhite5178]

Paul Ngo hell naw they wouldn't make it threw the door... 😂😂😂😂

[@julianabrego5706]

Much respect man. It's so fucken hard to train at that level of intensity every time.

[@phatbastard2026]

Lots an lots of Cyber coaches here!

[@alin-stefanamariei5709]

You can't build muscles with bad form. Branch:"Hold my beer"

[@drewmuscle9825]

OBVIOUSLY BRANCH IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!!

[@robertvojcik463]

Nice video guys ! I'm looking forward for next one :)

[@Delincvent]

RESPECT BRANCH

[@chvideo12]

the form police is pissed

[@AnabolicFarmer]

"Good form built my body"

[@AznChewii]

They don't need to do full range of motion because their muscles are that back so they can't contract any further

[@peterhalat913]

Dion Chu ACTUALLY, drugs will get the necessary pump in a individual with decent genetics just by moving the weight indiscriminately.

[@americahealth]

I don't train like these champions, but I get inspired every time I watch them.

[@nickrunaway2]

dat range of motion

[@LoadedGunn47]

I'm amazed Branch hasn't injured himself more than he has. I mean, granted he's gotten amazing results, but the way he trains seems very sloppy and dangerous some times. But whatever, it's the way he trains, and he seems to like it, so to each their own.

[@yolodrol7500]

Is it just me or he looks like a dwarf.

[@LoadedGunn47]

I Troll Mike Chang Dailyyy! He does seem somewhat stumpy, or maybe "stocky" is the better word.

[@LoadedGunn47]

***** Well that makes sense then, even though not everyone at that height is stocky, it explains his shorter limbs.

[@babypizza3903]

Yolodrol Saw the new Hobbit and did a double take on Thorin Oakenshield.

[@Girts-M]

He shoud learn from Dorian. :)

[@stefi326]

gear yes they on it but the level of energy and dedication is massive for these guys !

[@tylerhill6224]

In a MD magazine he said he likes to focus on form and I died laughing!

[@jiaxiangwu5669]

Branch = Hardwork= Dedication

[@ghostmutt4265]

X by steroids

[@nagone11]

These boyz str8 beastin' !!!

[@ansiMoh]

That's not old school, that's " Bouncing School " muahahahahaha

[@TheIrishny]

Seems to work ok for them

[@ansiMoh]

TheIrishny If you bulk like them, of course you'll have a better body using more controlled workouts, that' what makes the difference between 2 pro bodybuilders.

[@CiriloDrums]

Dude look at their sizes, they are both huge, they make their living out of it and do you think you can say they're wrong??

[@ElvisFerbeyre]

Yeah, and ''bouncing school'' seems to be very effective for building muscle, don't you think so?

[@ElvisFerbeyre]

Tom Andersson it seems that those ugly muscles bring a lot of money, and lots of chicks too

[@ElvisFerbeyre]

Those workouts kick ass

[@lisagamer9449]

too funny...like a bounce house...love these kids

[@illusionarytactic]

ronnie coleman moved those weights like they were toys

[@sonamtipotas8564]

Hardcore!

[@dancjamm]

Yes. Yes he is.

[@resdalhogal3]

This is my preworkout

[@reede17]

Branch is my favourite pro because he is all natural and he has still accomplished so much in the bodybuilding world!!

[@Carriesaglock]

If Branch is the ugly guy in this vid then ya, keep tellin yourself that.

[@reede17]

INMY01TA what do you mean?

[@Carriesaglock]

He's a juicer.

[@reede17]

I don't believe he is, there is no proof of that. you would be amazed what hard work and great diet can do, especially with amazing genetics like Branch. He is gifted

[@Fuss2Bus]

First song is framing Hanley- lollipop

[@Sean-xs1zp]

as jonnie stated at last. they're doing some power lifting. though i believe in Kai Greene style workout, this sort of power lifting is still beneficial to the overall size building.

[@Moritz5466]

Hahaha best repetitions i have ever see :D:D

[@llewgibson]

Just stumbled across your video mate, absolutely love the content. Subscribed straight away, We should connect!

[@PROTEUS_SEER-OF-EONS]

You guys are giving these dudes advice? They have two of the best upper bodies of all time, and you are telling them that their form is wrong. Amazing.

[@joaoluizsn]

proper form is an option with these guys

[@noherekruger3738]

+João Luiz ESPECIALLY Branch.

[@Charles-bn4cd]

Oh yeah!

[@MsVitormiguez]

Não tenho moral para criticar o branch, mas esse treino está MUITO LOUCO

[@mardigann996]

Jonnie Jackson : Cab driver who happens to enjoy bodybuilding.

[@user-bq4vs6hz8p]

EXPLOSIOOOOOOOOOOON!

[@UnleashedGraffixx]

that pump branch got is ridiculous...lol

[@MitchellChicky]

i didnt realise 'old school' bench press meant crushing your sternum

[@jay733]

Man if those weights would have dropped on Johnnie's foot, that would of spelled early Mr. Olympia retirement.

[@pfdad1]

To each is own until the injuries start showing up slow the fuck down and focus on the negative rep he has the genetics to be a monster

[@MrSlb2012]

good

[@pureballer29]

its about eating! and theses guys eating good!!

[@paulschiell5355]

Funny how this was recorded it looks like Branch and Johnnie are the same dude from set to set switches. The way they both train they very well could be the same guy.

[@RaulEdu33]

People giving training advice to professional (Olympian!) bodybuilders! Lol! The form and their type of training isn't for the average gym rat. They have great control over the weight, it's really just an illusion of them throwing the weight around so fast... This way they are able to stimulate and overwhelm the muscle fibers. For anyone else this is definitely bad form, because the muscles aren't prepared to recover from that kind of training. Johnny Jackson once said "to train like a pro you have to eat like a pro" and that includes anabolic enhancing goods ;)

[@Nutritionist777]

Does anyone know what that first song is called, that was playin in the background

[@KNByam]

Proper form is the way to go if you just starting out BB. It works for them and their contest results shows it. lol

[@thiagooo88]

Essa gyn é das boas só toca rock pesado pros maronba treina..

[@xoeidi]

go read a book!

[@SuperRoach007]

That gym has more history in the spit on the floor than any gym you've ever walked into.

[@neemapaxima6116]

I never thought these pros train like this...

[@Grimmjow19872]

+Neema Paxima dumbass

[@airobyou]

branch looks good

[@bicimotoworld4115]

100$ to the guy who would go to them at 3:38 and say: "excuse me, can you use a tovel? there is a lot of sweat!"

[@muriloninja]

They are notoriously horrendous on form, however make no mistake about it early on to build the bases they have their form was spot on. I'm guessing the last years have been for show and bad habits. They still know how squeeze and get what they want out of the movement but for sure, it's not pretty or "proper". Johnny is the better of the two when it comes to control and form for sure.

[@halloweenlifter4383]

TRICK OR LIFT !!

[@SkyfoxNsL]

DAMN! THAT GYM. HE SPLIT IN THE FUCKING GROUND LOL

[@supergingstas94]

Believe it or not he's natural

[@1988kirsche]

name of the song at 3.03

[@jonnyolofsson2913]

Song name at 5:26? Thanks

[@1234harleydavidson]

Name of song at 0:39 ?

[@Charles-bn4cd]

Oh yeah! Lets go baby! Fuck form! All day long!

[@dalziel7864]

i think they are just generating pump,with Gear..the pump is the most important thing.They will damage the tendons thow

[@ozanpa7000]

Johnnie is one strong bastard haha

[@lisagamer9449]

this proves that crazy genetics and drugs can create these beasts, swinging bouncing etc.. anyone else would be crippled

[@nicenow25]

That chest on johnnies jackson is thick

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

Boy, if Branch doesn't look like a young Ivan Koloff...

[@matthewsisk]

When he says pounding his chest, he literally means pounding his chest

[@iambrunogay]

what is exactly the reason for one of Branch's lats being bigger than the other?

[@NathanMulder]

+BIG Bopper Injury and horrible form

[@bernieorbust6104]

Quadzilla vs Trapzilla

[@FeelFreeProteinPots]

If they have the answer but you suggest they work out incorrectly have you ever thought that just maybe you are incorrect about what the ' correct ' really is !? If someone in class keeps getting the answer right yet repeatably being told he is not working it out right what does that suggest ?

[@newguy69]

this aint old school, no one in history trained as hard as Branch

[@giuls19891]

Their form might suck but these guys are intense as fuck, as long as they dont injure themselves tan who the fuck cares if they have bad form. they work harder tan most bodybuilders, and its worked, teres a reason why theyre at the Olympia level

[@HavocReaperZz]

branch warren is probably the dumbest dude competing in the olympia, he has such an impressive physique yet time and time again he trains like a dumbass and gets injured and is forced to miss the olympia.

[@giuls19891]

Adil Tahir Ironically, his injuries have had nothing to do with the gym. He talks about this in generation iron. The last time he missed an olympia was because he slipped in a puddle outside a super market or something like that lol.

[@kabilan]

Ronnie screaming at the back

[@jackkim3615]

All day long!!

[@Benaddicted11trkfbal]

there style of training is so much different in comparison to phil heaths or kai greenes. i guess it goes to show that you can get jacked with different styles of training and that no one method is really better then another

[@Grimmjow19872]

+booby b you re learning , that's amazing

[@Kalapuikkosoppa]

First song at 0:00-0:50 ish pls thx.

[@09adge13]

Lollipop by framing hanley

[@Kalapuikkosoppa]

[@beewalk34]

[@davide5871]

[@maccas5528]

[@pratiknair9747]

What the hell did I just watch😵😵😵

[@diogoreis3998]

how did bodybuilding become this.....

[@diogoreis3998]

have to agree with you, even tho that the decision was of the judges, so its theyre fault

[@bloodandguts9007]

diogo reis Don't follow bodybuilding then.

[@diogoreis3998]

who ? Blood And Guts

[@matthewsisk]

I know that both Ronnie and Branch/Johnnie train at metroflex, but Ronnie has MUCH better form. He doesnt use momentum and bounce the weight!

[@SolicitorRandolph]

"I want to work out at the gym that plays Limp Bizkit" - Said no one ever

[@benditlikebendtnar6210]

that must hurt their chest

[@a20111a]

وحوووش الاقزاام هههه

[@burtjackson676]

hating them makes u a chump I like the hardcore

[@butchy586]

theyre bouncing that heavy weight a bit for the cameras

[@Hyena9324]

but you have to admit that they are pretty big :)

[@salnorton7937]

See These guys Jackson been the strong man thing but his legs have been he week point Branch huge contest small...Jay does nothing over 4 plates and is huge at he contest..

[@dtsang508]

Did these two guys completely throw technique out the window or what?

[@sewahanglimbu7092]

yeap, that explains ur size and theirs. :D

[@dtsang508]

Hey, you take that back, J/K LOL.

[@bodybuildinghulkman.4693]

su to makaci,ale sipu jedna radost

[@pobig]

only came for a laugh

[@RandomPokecenter]

not enought sweat...

[@ramjie1472]

Please have the right attitude in the gym premises most specially to others. Please dont throw the weights its very dangerous to others.... Very unsafe

[@MrMofuccer]

Why is Branch impersonating Ronnie Coleman?

[@killerkakaz]

Wtf is up with their form ?No negative phase and bouncing the bar?I see that they are huge but wtf

[@toddwilley1776]

I've met both these guys and they are very nice people, having said that I'm a body builder as we'll " granted I don't have there awesome size yet" but I do have to say that it's shocking to see such poor form from guys who at this point should know better. Also if they would just slow it down to half there speed they would longer time under tension and experience a greater looking physic. This is the reason these guys will never be great!

[@AmerikanGrizzly]

bold claim, saying that some of the top competitive bodybuilders in the world do not understand how to train properly.

[@benaud9001]

Did Branch tear is pec before? When he is doing the cable crossover you can see and indention. Man that is weird.

[@Martmi29]

nah he has torn both triceps, one biceps, and 1 quad, but not the pecs.

[@benaud9001]

Did you see how his chest looked on the cables though? Weird

[@Martmi29]

Ben Aud It's either genetic difference in separations/striations on his pecs or he's left handed and contracts his left side better than his right therefore getting slightly better development on his left pec.

[@HotDogWater44]

About as natural as ronnie coleman

[@LeMecMoustachu]

Am not a Pro, but this is Kind of Weird for a Workout....

[@LeMecMoustachu]

this looks a bit like the "Gym Idiots" Videos :D

[@nicogiard8701]

anybody else see branch spit in the gym?

[@bengermanbrowne4378]

branch dont spit on the floor in the gym ....n please re rack your weights sir...

[@mcswaggyswag1655]

This isn't planet fitness

[@merkinyall]

Spit dries. Don't worry.
