Branch Warren Bodybuilder Workout Routine

William Branch Warren is one of those top professional bodybuilders that we see placing in the top 5 Mr. Olympia places without winning. A man that has dedicated his life to building muscle from the time he was in high school. Branch was born in Texas and after winning the AAU Teenage Mr. America in 1992 he has been determined to win Mr. Olympia.

Branch knows what it's like to compete at the top level and how to keep over 200lbs of muscle on his body. From a high school kid who couldn't afford gym fees to training for the next Mr. O event, we can learn from this man of steel. Below is a copy of a week's pre Mr. Olympia training that he would do.

Branch Warren's Training Split:

Monday: Back

Tuesday: Chest

Thursday: Arms

Friday: Legs
