This morning Arnold Classic Champion Branch Warren had surgery to repair a quad tendon. His doctors at Baylor Hospital in Texas said the surgery went better than expected. According to his wife, Trish, he is recovering comfortably at home and plans to begin rehabilitation as soon as possible.

Warren's doctors expect him recover 100 percent and have no doubt that he will be able to defend his Arnold Classic title.

The 2011 Arnold champ suffered a torn quad tendon on Saturday after slipping in a parking lot in Atlanta, Georgia. The injury has forced Warren to skip this year's Mr. Olympia competition September 16-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Warren, who placed second in 2009 and third in the 2010 Mr. Olympia competitions was expected to place high again in this year's show.
