Branch you is a bad, bad dude!
What do you guys think. Does this qualify as balls to the wall?

if you mean balls to the wall wrong form and a good way to get hurt unless you are that massive then yes it is.

Just balls to the wall N2. Not correct, not effective, and not necessarily right for you or I just balls to the wall. You have to tip your hat to the guy for being so damn intense. I find it inspiring and he wasn't that big in the chest area to begin with. Chest was always his lagging muscle group.

SwitchMan,
Like I said, it aint for everybody, that's for sure but it works to a certain degree for him. I personally just watch those type of vids to get pumped up. Having suffered through my own shoulder injuries I know your pain. How'd it happen? Are you sure you tore your rotator cuff?
C.K.,
I didn't count it actually but it's a high volume workout for sure. I am not a big fan of those drop sets he's doing. That is a good way to get hurt if you are not careful.
branch is a badass and my favourite BB'er yes I think pretty much all of his training is balls to the walls and its weird because Johnnie Jackson claims to be the strongest BBer but I saw a video of them training shoulders together and they went up to 315 and branch was reppin it easy for 15 reps or so and JJ used less ROM and did about 8 reps and they all looked hard for him. Needless to say they didnt show branch going up to 405 lke usual most likely because it would make JJ look weak.
Branch's legs and chest are some of the best out there right now IMO his delts are badass too. Wierd about his legs though because especially in his first DVD he was squatting high, not hitting parrallel and leg pressing with a couple of inches ROM

i think that some of these vids are deceptive to the real training. not all of them. i think people are trying to impress the camera and that what you are watching does not really reflect their regular training. but they are good to show that people are training in different ways, with diferent form, different theories all together. unless i am going 4 rep or less heavier i follow this. perfect form is what creates the most pressure on the targeted muscle in a rom that just keeps the weight on the targeted muscle. i could care less about all of the guides and pictures by the best on form. and i could care less about the programs written by the experts about hoe may sets and reps i should do. i care about building mass. so after studying my own development i design my own training that works for me. i think this is the key to success as far as training goes. no schedule, no laid out plan just go by feel. the laid out programs are or the guys who havent learned what they need yet.
the drugs come into play with this exteme training also. when i was running a few grams of suspensions i found myself having to push 15 or so high rep sets before i started to get anything done. when cruizing all i needed was a few rp sets or similar. either way if your not going real heavy there is some leway that would be better utilized focusing solely on the muscles rather than the mirror and making sure it looks right.
