Branch Warren had a truly classic form in his teens.

Bodybuilding in the ope weight division is all about putting on considerbale mass and size in the hopes of being the most massive and shredded competitor on stage. On the journey to achieving greater amounts of muscle, a bodybuilder must start somewhere before leaving humanity behind. During this time, many bodybuilders hit a level in which aesthetics and muscle are hand in hand. For Branch Warren this time was back in the early 90s.

Branch Warren has always had a great physique and before he became the massive mountain of muscle that he is today, he had a far more streamlined, classic physique that focused more on aesthetics than on muscle. The Instagram post below shows Branch Warren back in 1993 during his time competing as a teen amateur.

TBT – 1993 Teen Nationals Prep – I was just a young kid with a dream of being the best bodybuilder in the world. I set realistic goals knowing it wouldn’t be an easy task but believing in myself that I could do it. I stayed dedicated to the journey and surrounded myself with successful people who encouraged me along the way, most of them are still in my life today. I tuned out the negative critics and refused to be out worked, every contest I would evaluate my weaknesses and worked my ass off to turn that weakness into a strength. It’s very important to believe in yourself and remember this is a marathon not a sprint!!!!! – Branch – – #BranchWarren #nevergiveup #blackskullbybranchwarren #blackskull #hardwork #oldschool #Bodybuilding #lifestyle #fitnessmotivation #bodybuildinglifestyle #hardworkpaysoff #teen #pushharder #tbt #driven
