Branch Warren out of the 2011 Mr O

[Ken "Skip" Hill]

I heard this a couple days ago via twitter but was waiting to have it confirmed 100%:

Branch Warren injured his quad getting off of a plane at a guest posing and is not competing at the Mr O this year.

Wow, how the hell did he do that?

[akanimal]

that would be horrible.....getting off a plane!

[Daniel7908]

That's really sad, especially considering that he was sure to be one of the top contenders and, more than anything else, the effort he must have put into his prep work for this year's Olympia.

Heard somewhat of the same story except that he was leaving a guest posing and slipped in the parking lot. Either way It sounded horrible. They said you could hear a loud snap when it happened. The mans a machine and he will be back, but I was really curious to see how he'd match up this year.

[mark!]

I heard the same thing about his getting in to his car and slipping. Really sucks, was looking for him to place really high.

You know, nature is really trying to tell you something about the structural integrity of your body when you get horrendously fucked up TAKING A STEP.

[SAHD]

I really fucked myself up running once, I ran straight into a tree. Maybe Branch slipped and fell and got fucked up but I'm sure what he landed on got a little fucked up too.

In all honesty though I would bet he was 90% already busted up when he slipped and the slip was the last straw. Don't most guys get injured when comming off gear or dieting as this is when they are really taxing their bodies?

I heard the same thing, but I heard he was lifting the plane, swearing, and then throwing it around when it happened. In all seriousness, it is sad that this happened to him when he has been getting so close. His size and conditioning are absolutley retarded (in a kewl way)! ;-)

He came back twice as strong after his triceps injury, just think if he comes back twice as good after this quad issue...God help any man that stands on that stage with him.

yeah....read the same, slipped in the parking lot...left quad tendon tear..sucks to think that's probably a minimum of 75K down the toilet for him in addition to the bills from surgery, rehab, etc. Didn't Massive G tear his quad tendon/s after slipping on the stairs?

[Carlito Gambino]

Talk about bad luck...so close to the Olympia too.

LOL

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading through the thread. It seemed the story was likely to get bigger and bigger.

Us Texas boys were really rooting for him this year too

What is wrong with this guy Branch Warren?

First he falls down the steps and tears his tricep off the bone and then he "falls"
somewhere in the parking lot and tears a quad??

WTF"??
