Damn, i wanna see that 10 rep curl with 225 lbs. Strong guys, but i have to say JJs bench is quite low for a powerlifter.

[Q80_MuscleHed]

personally i prefer Branch over JJ .. Branch has much power and strength although he's not a powerlifter :) .. but i heared he torn his bi's doing 225 pounds curls

[TrueOutlaw]

crazy #'s i would think jj would be stronger than that too.......i read some where that he was probably the strongest pro BBer

What you have to realized about JJ is that his training styles have changed so he's not going to put up the same numbers. If he lifted the bench like a powerlift, I'm sure he could do much better. The mechanics of the lift change the numbers.

some great lifts... JJ could do more if he trained like a powerlifter

[miniduck]

That's impressive no matter what you train like.

branch is a fcuking beast.....

[front_row]

very impressive #s, for sure. Were they wearing their regular workout gear? Powerlifters usually wear special suits for competitions that jack up their #s even higher.

Branch is gonna turn some headz,, he is the new MAN on the block

[ruel]

branch is the man...

[Rocky]
