October 10, 2004, Atlanta, GA - Mr. Olympia runner-up Branch Warren started is IFBB Pro career in 2004 with the Night of Champions (where he was 8th) and the GNC Show of Strength where he landed in the 4th spot and therefore his first posedown. As good as Branch already was in this first pro year: Nobody in the industry at the time had thought that he would rise all the way to runner-up at the big one in Vegas within the next 5 years!
