Hey guys, even here and in this video we're gonna talk about Branch Warren, as you can see him right here, actually we're gonna talk about what he looks like and what he's doing right now today in 2022. This right here is him from 2009, Mr. Olympia, where he was runner up, he was second to Jay Cutler, so he was very close to winning the Mr. Olympia to becoming the best pot builder in the world. However, it was just not close enough, he was second still, this edition of him 2009 was absolutely insane. Look at this guy, he was freaking rock hard. Anyways, that was a long time ago man, 13 years ago, and now this is what he looks like. This water was taken 2 years ago, so about 11 years after retiring, he still looked pretty solid, right? I mean, he had a full six pack, he was pretty conditionally conditioned actually, like there was pretty much no fat on his body, and this was just him, you know, cruising around, not really prepping for anything, he has no plans of ever competing again, don't count on a comeback, he confirmed that there is not gonna be one, I'm gonna show that to you in a moment, but here you can see like he held on to a lot of T-Sho too, and yeah, he did have some injuries, but overall he looks pretty healthy, like his packs are intact, they look symmetrical, big and full, the arms look decent, he was never known for great times, but now today for our retired bodybuilder, they're pretty big, they're pretty good. The shoulders are still there, he looks big, he looks full, he looks round, he looks jacked, and this is not by coincidence, he trains really freaking hard. I'm assuming not as heavy as he used to do back in the day when he was at his best, but look at the intensity, he still has the same intensity, he's still having that mindset of lifting as heavy as possible as you can, not really worrying about the perfect form, not even worrying about form at all, that's just a distraction for him, he just needs to lift as heavy as he can for a certain amount of reps, and that's what he does, and you know what, it worked back then for him to become the best bodybuilder in the world, it also works for him today, to maintain a solid bodybuilder like physique, and now in this video here you can see that he's doing a little bit better form, he's more focused on doing things properly, again, it's not as heavy as he probably once used to go, he's not that strong, and it's probably his injuries that are holding him back, and I also think that's the reason why he lifts with a little bit better form, as you can see it looks a little bit nicer, you know, a little bit slower, he holds, a little bit in the stretch than the flex position, and also he has a little bit of negative, it's different, a little bit different from back in the day, but the intensity is definitely always there, he's posting videos regularly, and you can see that Bran Choren still has that intensity, no matter if the goal is when the Mr Olympia, or just maintaining a solid physique, it's still there, the intensity is still there, if you're watching these videos and these photos and you're thinking, wow, he didn't lose a lot of muscle, he still has all the mass, he's very strong, he has the conditioning, he could come back, maybe he should come back, guys, come on, I mean you forgot who Bran Choren used to be, this was him, right, this is absolutely freaking insane, just look at the size of this freaking guy, I mean his head compared to his body, the traps, the chest, the delts, like those shoulders were so big and round, it was insane, I mean this guy was an absolute monster, this was him in the gym, you know, pumped up, this is him probably like very close to a show because he's very lean here, so in the office he's and he would be even bigger, I could have showed you stage photos, but it wouldn't really send the message here in these photos, from his training videos, here you can see how big he actually was, I mean he was a freaking monster, a freak of the freaks, today, seven years after he retired after that, 2015 Mr Olympia, which was his last show, he is holding on to a lot of tissue, he's still very big, and more importantly he's still just as intense, look at the way he's training, by the way looking at Bran Choren's photos, I found a couple of really old ones back when he was a teen bodybuilder back from the early 2000s, and I gotta say, Bran Choren is one of those bodybuilders, could have looked even better if he stayed a little bit smaller, now it would be such a shame, it would be a pity if he never became the freak that he became later, especially in 2009, but you gotta say, you gotta admit, back when he was younger, he was really a static looking, he would make a great classic bodybuilder, not saying that he could really fit the weight, I don't know about that, but he looked really classic, he had those classic lines, and still looked really freaky, it was a beautiful physique, of course, like all other bodybuilders, he had to grow to be competitive, but most of the other bodybuilders, open bodybuilders, they don't really look at their best until they have filled out their frames completely, until they have reached their max potential, Bran Choren wasn't small here by any means, but he has gotten bigger later, and I think he just looked amazing when he was a little bit smaller, you know, back in the early 2000s, that was an amazing look, if you ask me, anyways, today, seven years after he retired, he's still training like a maniac, he doesn't have to, he has no real reason, but he still does it, and he still does it with Johnny Jackson, as you can see right here on the right, in the gym, he's still there, Johnny O'Jackson, this is probably the longest training partnership ever, like these guys are still training, and it's interesting that they're both really freaking intense, here's an older training footage of these two guys, as you can see, they were training like two absolute freaking maniacs, with no regard of perfect form, not even close to perfect, it was all about lifting as heavy as possible, and they looked like it, they looked like a couple of monsters, Johnny was actually even stronger than Branch, and this is Johnny right now, just like Branch, Johnny is also still very big and strong, and he's still training with a lot of intensity, but Johnny retired only two years ago, his last show was 2020 Arnold Classic, but he plays that last, he actually retired in 2017, where he made an official statement, so really we should say that he retired five years ago, he still has crazy traps, look at those freaking traps, he was known for them, and he still has them, now if you guys are thinking, he could come back again, he's still very big again, I'm thinking you guys probably forgot how impressive Johnny Jackson was back in the day, he looked as intense as he was in the gym, he was a freaking monster, he didn't have really good legs, and that's why he didn't do as well as Branch, but upper body it was really freaking impressive, look at his freaking traps man, by the way apparently he's still leg pressing the same way with the same range of motion, which is probably the reason he never had great quads, anyways that is Johnny Jackson, at the age of 51 actually, and Branch at the age of 47, still training like maniacs in the gym, still looking great, big and strong, and that's gonna do it for this video guys, about Branch War and also Johnny Jackson, if you enjoyed this video guys, give it a thumbs up, tell me in the comment section down
