If hard work was a person it would be Branch🙌 nothing but respect for this man

[@cbone4332]

Yeah, and tons of steroids and who know what else!

Best description of Branch Warren he's one of the hardest workers ever to do it.

[@playero03]

True GASP is what it is today because of Branch ( and Jonnie ) I remember the first videos of GASP with Branch and Jonnie training, till this day those were the best ads ever

[@benclark1376]

That's great when you marry someone that supports you like Trish does. I'm doing the Arnold "You need to start eating". love it.

[@johnbenjamin98]

Branch Warren is the Hardest Worker in the room! Even after bodybuilding he's still training hard, has a great business going with Wicked Cutz, and being an Apollon Nutrition Athlete. I remember when he said that he grew up on a farm to now see him and his family have a nice house is truly amazing!

[@ssantoro36]

Branch Warren is a legend and still in damn good shape. And name another bodybuilder that hunted his own food. Kids today need more men like Branch to look up to.

[@petercsigo3314]

Branch Warren is the only person who came back from the quad injury and his able to excel and win shows.

[@terryperry6491]

Two champions right there. I still play Branch Warren videos when I'm working out. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@IfbbProMartaeRuelas]

I remember he came down to Metroflex Phoenix and Brian Dobson was with him. I asked them if i could jump in their arm session and Branch said " As long as you can hang". That was pretty brutal but an honor to train with them that day...

[@homelander7506]

Well did you manage to keep up?

[@IfbbProMartaeRuelas]

@@homelander7506 My arms felt like they were going to fall off. His intensity is on a whole other level. I saw it through to the end and learned at this level that intensity is definitely good to keep with you...

[@jimmyselby4279]

Branch is a big role model for me! Wish him and his family the best!

[@gunnermuehring3845]

Branch warren my all time favorite,idle bodybuilder. I started kind of late like 19 years old. I remember starting to work out in the powerhouse gym here in Michigan like 135 lbs. doing my training with my head down because I’m this skinny little twig but full of mind to muscle connection and would get huge pumps. Once confidence built up I started looking around and watching people and how they trained. I remember finally noticing this huge banner hung up from the ceiling of this guy that was just massive with tree trunks for legs. There he was Branch warren in his prime just a monster! That poster became the first thing I would look at when I walked through the doors everyday. I would say man I’m going to be a mini version of that guy.

[@henchgamer6996]

Branch is my favourite bodybuilder. I love the intensity he workouts with.

[@MarkBates566]

Met branch in the dungeon in Tenby and after the seminar he stopped back and we had a great chat about gear and he was so open I even bought the sweatshirt he was wearing lol Great guy great bodybuilder

[@raymondglover95]

I would love to hear the dosages on that one 😅 I've heard so many conflicting stories

[@MarkBates566]

@@raymondglover95 it doesn’t matter if you can’t grow on 2shots a week of tren boldenone and enanthate plus clomid forget it

[@raymondglover95]

@Mark Bates in Thailand yea but 2 shots could literally mean anything 🤣 The total mgs of the compounds could be anywhere. 2 shots is 6 CCs alone lol.

[@awiseman23]

[@tomaszanderson]

Branch Warren is a true inspiration to bodybuilding and fitness! Overcoming all obstacles no matter what! HWMF who always go all out! And as Real as you can get!

[@PTPalmer_NPC]

You cannot let your past selves down by giving up after an injury if you can look yourself in the eye and say you have gas in the tank. You owe it to all those past selves to get back on the horse…

[@lokizeme7342]

What an absolute legend, man's an inspiration! Motivation in the dictionary should read "see Branch Warren" ✌❤

[@abrahamjustice777]

Love Branch's attitude and work ethic ..INSPIRING

[@flizz6927]

Intensity is the last name of Branch

[@mrsandura78]

I remember the Rockel incident cause Branch was super PISSSED & waved his finger at him. Never was a Rockel fan after that.

[@tracybrovan3997]

Can you elaborate what happened between them?

[@marcoshaydar2749]

Bring markus ruhl flex 👍👍

[@latman1]

I'll never forget that 09 Olympia Branch drew number one and he was the first guy out. He wasn't even favored to really place in the top five and when I saw him, I thought if there's five guys better than this tonight this is going to be one hell of a show!! Took Jay Cutler and Quad stomp to take him out that night!

[@666specter666]

deff one of my favorit Mr.O's that year

[@dannyjay2425]

Those videos of him training with jonny Jackson were some mofo motivation let me tell you.

[@FlexLewisStraightOuttaTheLair]

Wild shit

[@raffiki95]

Only bad thing is there is too many ads especially for this video.

[@jordandowd8911]

Pay for youtube. Problem solved

[@miguelaquino6822]

Now days you ask so.e one for help with diets it costs you over 400 bucks. Lucky you man. Trainers now collect your money and you on your own.

[@spicyterp]

Good episode, terrible audio leveling lol

[@jordandowd8911]

No it aint. It's just fine. Branch just talks low and a more quiet type of person

[@spicyterp]

@@jordandowd8911 yes he talks with a quiet low voice, which is exactly why they should have increased his input volume and left flex’s as is. You’re not making much sense here bro

[@user-cl7fm1uc4r]

Where is the weight scale Flex? You didn't keep your promise.

[@arcticreviews]

I can barely hear branch why is he mumbling when he talks

[@abelflexes2]

That's how he talks lol

[@alek1701]

HAHA Same here, I don't understand him. Like he's talking to himself. I don't understand Branch, Stipe Miocic and Mike Tyson. And is even harder when English is your 2nd lang.

Fuck man, I'd love to see Branch make a comeback...
