Still Training Like a Pro, Branch Warren Pushes Serious Weight on the Machine Hack Squat

Bodybuilder, Branch Warren is still training like a pro even in retirement.

Branch Warren is squatting some serious weight in a recent training session. The retired bodybuilder is showing no signs of slowing down his training any time soon. He seems to be pushing himself in defiance of those who believe he should be slowing down post retirement.

Branch Warren has always been known for his impressive leg development. To be dubbed “Quadrasaurus” means you haven to have some pretty serious wheels. Warren was always able to impress in that department every time he stepped on stage.

Since being retired you would think Branch Warren would have slowed down his training. While he may not be putting himself through grueling show prep, Warren is still pushing himself hard in his training. Once you’ve adopted a professional mindset, shutting it off is no easy feat. For Warren it appears that doing so is the last thing on his mind.

With the mindset of a professional Branch Warren just can’t seem to stop himself from training hard in the gym. There’s no massive downsizing for Warren. Instead he’s doing things as he’s always had as pro bodybuilder. That means pushing himself to the next level with every training session.

By the look on my face I’m upsetting a lot of cry babies who can’t seem to get over the fact that I still train hard. Well guess what……. I DON’T GIVE A DAMN!!!!

Pushing Some Serious Weight

A recent training video showcased just how hard Branch Warren is pushing himself in his post retirement training. Warren seems compelled to push passed his limits and lift heavy. When you consider that he’s five years younger than Dexter Jackson who only just retired a year and a half ago at age 50, the 47-year-old Warren still has plenty in the tank.

The training video in question shows Branch Warren pushing some serious weight on the machine hack squat. All this despite the fact that he’s been retired for years now.

Ain’t nobody gonna tell me HOW TO TRAIN!!!!
