Branch Warren was in Atlanta for a guest posing appearance. He was in a parking lot and attempting to step into his car. The pavement was slick and his left foot slipped out from under him. He fell onto his left leg and heard/felt a "SNAP" from his left knee/quad area. He was immediately taken to an Atlanta hospital for testing.
Branch Warren left Atlanta this morning at 10:30 Eastern and expects to meet with his team of doctors at Baylor Hospital immediately after landing in Texas (approximately 11:30 Central time.) After phone consultations with his doctors they are prepared to perform surgery tomorrow morning if they think it is necessary. Currently his knee is swollen and his leg is in a wrap.

I probably speak for pretty much everyone on here in wishing Branch the speediest of recoveries.

*sigh* Bit of thread necromancy, here, but I was just looking at these shots again... it kinda taints them, now, knowing that not even a month after these were taken, he'd see everything he'd done this year to work up to the 2011 Olympia just slip right out from under him in Atlanta. Especially since he was already looking so awesome here. :-(

Sounds like he's healing, physically, which is great... hopefully he'll be able to put the whole thing behind him, let this year go, and focus on having even more time to prep himself for next year! The mental healing from something like that can be even trickier, sometimes... all that lost opportunity, work and planning... it's gotta be tough.

You could see it on his face, I felt like, when he did his appearances at the Olympia. The poor guy just looked crushed some of the time. It almost hurt to see. (And, like I said, it's totally understandable that he could feel that way.)

But, shit happens. And hopefully, by now, he's back at work on the 2012 Mr. Olympia's bod! ;-)
