• Branch Warren Unchained Raw Reality

I was disappointed with this dvd. The editing was horrible as in there wasn't any. Branch doesn't talk so the viewer is left to simply watch him workout. He doesn't explain his routines or his training methods.

His training partner is reckless and dangerous, and he would be banned at most gyms. The second dvd shows Branch at home, and he does speak, but we still don't learn anything about him or his training. This dvd might have been acceptable 10 or 15 years-ago, but not today, especially when Phil Heath and Kai Green have exceptional videos out there. Even Shawn Ray's 'The Final Countdown' is a much better buy than 'Raw Reality.' Save your money and pass on this one. I was disappointed with this dvd.

Save your money and pass on this one. In watching this dvd, I found myself put off by how these guys showed no respect for the weights & the gym itself. Tossing the plates around like rubbish. I know if these guys were at any of the hardcore gyms in Sydney,Australia, Like ex-wrestlers Paul Graham or Billy Moore's Gym's they'd have been neck cranked & thrown out of their weight rooms pretty bloody quick. I've seen Arnold work out. He'd put the weights away for the simple respect of any other gym member to use & wipe down the bench with his towel so as not to leave his sweat behind. Now Branch is a strongman, no doubt.

Everything else about this dvd was good but boys. Put your TOYS away neatly so the other kids can play with them okay? For participants and/or fans of the sport of bodybuilding, this is a must see. The gym sessions with Branch are uncensored but ring true and are well filmed. Most of the sequences are in black and white, which adds to the intense effect. Branch is as hardcore as they come, and I have tremendous respect for his work ethic and determination which brought him to the world of professional bodybuilding. The training sessions amply explain why he has already won and placed in several top competitions (including a top 10 in the Olympia).

There is also a second disc in the package, which shows Branch at home with his wife and that is also very well done. He is a multi faceted athlete and individual, and this is highly recommended as a top viewing experience.
