Branch Warren Suffers Horrible Rotator Cuff Tear

by Jacob Ladon Published on Oct 8, 2018

Branch Warren suffers horrible injury.

As a bodybuilder, pushing your body to the limit is essential to making new gains. You can’t hope to compete in a bodybuilding show and not push yourself hard. But, while training hard is essential to making solid gains, recovery is also a major component of seeing results.

Sometimes pushing past our limits can just ultimately lead to unforeseen circumstances, namely horrible injuries that can sideline our progress.


While we may not have seen him on a bodybuilding stage for quite some time, Branch Warren has kept training hard in the gym. Retirement doesn’t mean you completely give up the lifestyle you’ve grown accustomed to over years and years of training. Branch Warren may not be competing, but bodybuilding is in his blood. Pushing hard is also in his blood, which has unfortunately led him right to an injury.

In his most recent Instagram post, Branch Warren touches on his recent rotator cuff injury and what it means for his training going forward.

I had shoulder and bicep surgery a few weeks ago, and just like all my other injuries I’m in the gym everyday doing what I can. I say this to remind you that we all face obstacles, don’t get discouraged, find a way to overcome!!!!!

I’LL BE BACK!!! Sometimes we are forced to rest, and in all my past cases I came back better and stronger than before, and this times no different. I’m hitting the gym every damn day doing what I can, making no excuses. Life is tough, REAL TOUGH but I’ll be damned if I let this stop me from accomplishing my goals. You have to keep pushing no matter what. Do you remember that guy who gave up????? Neither do I!!!!!!! – – @officialgasp @perbernalphoto #BranchWarren #Motivation #chestday #perbernal #gasp #nocompromises #blackskull #bodybuilding #NPC #IFBB #Traininsane #thursday #tbt
