In the world of bodybuilding, Branch Warren needs no introduction. The retired IFBB professional bodybuilder is from Tyler, Texas. His training discipline is the most eye-catching aspect of the bodybuilding icon. Warren did place 2nd in 2009, Mr. Olympia, which was also his best in the contest. Despite never being able to taste the glory of Mr. Olympia, Warren has two Arnold Classic titles to his name.

Last month, Branch Warren discussed the upcoming Mr. Olympia in December and also talked about the Master’s Olympia. The bodybuilding icon, despite his retirement, has kept his body in top-notch condition. He also answered questions regarding his comeback to the big stage of bodybuilding.

Any chance of the bodybuilding icon’s return?

Branch Warren had the same level of dedication as legends Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman. No wonder Warren was also considered a bodybuilding legend, despite having zero Mr. Olympia titles.

“Hell no [I wouldn’t do a Masters Olympia with a 50+ over age limit].” Warren said and continued, “Just like I told him, I said, ‘for me, there’s no positive upside to it.” 

Olympia President Jake Wood did hint about Masters Olympia returning next year. This will only allow men over 45 years old to compete in it. Despite the opportunity, Warren won’t be returning to the professional scene. He also claimed that during his thirties he was at the top of his game, so there’s no way he is returning to the sport.

“The last reason — and I’m just going to say it to be honest… I don’t want to take those drugs,” Warren said. This was the most important reason why the bodybuilding icon wasn’t coming back to his beloved sport. He just doesn’t want to consume drugs again to be at the top of his game.
