This is an excerpt from a video I shot and edited. The full video of this training session and many more training and lifestyle documentary videos from Kai and other top level bodybuilders are available on my channel.
I'll say this, i like him and i think he's great on what he's doing =) and i like that he doesn't settle to be at 4th place, but i know everyone to get 4th place at mr Olympia is a very very great deal".
29:09 Just out of curiosity I would love to know what Kai was thinking at that moment? Notice the smirk and how he shakes his head. Just curious. Was he recalling a funny memory? Thinking of appreciation for his partner? Having a philosophical debate between two of himself?
just watched this.... while on my cq duty and all i want to do is lift... but i have been awake for over 24 hours so im going to sleep.,.... thne lift the fuck out some shit!!!! lol
You know i think Oscar sucks the fun out of bodybuilding for kai, they end up taking it way too serious to the point of becoming neurotic. I think this is why he so emotional all the time, and whines about not winning. Till he find balance I don't think he will ever win Olympia.Every Mr olympia winner enjoys their training, and have had no problem with the camera. I mean at around 27 minutes in when Oscar gets injured and you can tell they blame the camera, and they start resenting it. I mean wtf, Ronnie Coleman allowed filming his training all the way up to the day of comp . They missing the whole point of bodybuilding. Its supposed to be fun.
I've much respect for Kai, but his self-indulgent soliloquy about placing 4th in the Olympia was very unbecoming and starkly contrasted his usual disposition. I can't even fathom the arduousness of preparing for something like the Olympia, but Kai's expectations aren't even close to sensible. Dude, 'giving it your all' doesn't warrant a victory...you're going up against the greatest and most seasoned competitive bodybuilders in the world, and you didn't win because you weren't the best. The aforementioned scene and the arrogance displayed therein shows us a less flattering side of Kai Greene.
i think everyone who competes on stage wants to win. nobody trains hard to get 2nd place. so i dont see why its wrong when he says he is not happy with 4th place. think this will make him train harder and become better, but if lean back and be like 'hey 4th place is great' you'll never be the best. just my opinion :)
"... the arrogance displayed therein shows us a less flattering side of Kai Greene", thus affirming he is human. your comment was very well written and i completely agree with you but keep in mind, Kai Green is (i assume), human just like everyone else.
Kai Greene taking the metro to the gym? Hahahaha SURE! That's why I don't like this guy much... Looks like he plays the humble, poor and inoccent guy... looks like he takes "putting these hundred pounds on the back and squating down to the floor" for some kind of goal for life, some kind of thing that takes human's soul to another level..... fuck this shit. Working 16 hours a day to be able to feed your wife and kids is something we should respect.. not lifting weights.
He doesn't have kids or a wife, bodybuilding is his job. He's living his dream, you're obviously not living yours because you're sitting on the internet bashing him for it. He works harder at what he does than you do anything. And nobody said bodybuilders were gods. What are you so butt hurt about?
***** I love bodybuild and I respect Kai Greene for all he has achieved in his life. I respect him for his size, for his placemente at Mr. Olympia, for his style of trainning, etc. When I said we should respect a guy who works 16h a day and not a bodybuilder, I meant we should respect a guy who HAS TO WORK to guarantee other people, who depend on him, to be happy and healthy, and not a bodybuilder who gets millions per year, travel the whole world and got no stress AT ALL. I just don't like when they take him or another bodybuilder to another level above human being, as if they were Dalai Lama, Ghandi or Nelson Mandela. I don't like how they take Kai Greene as an angel or martyr. You know what I mean... I don't like all this acting, like playing the poor, hardworking and solitary guy... playing the so-much-tired guy that randons between 50 minutes of a day in the gym and 23:10 hours of a day in a darkened room, depressed, thinking about the "D-day". ...I used to train with a guy who used to compete, and he was big as a fuck (1,75m / 120kg), with great genetycs, and everybody came to congratulate him and shit. By that time, he used to be all quiet, didin't talk to nobody, didin't have friends.. didin't go out to eat, didn't work to save energy, didn't study, didn't date bitches (not to waste testosterone). He didin't even jack off (masturbate) in order to save energy! All of this for playing the humble, divine and martyrized bodybuilder that goes heaven trought iron, oh! This guy, my ex trainning partner, even had money, but he always made sure nobody knew that in order to get "sponsors" and "chewings" from other people. Fuck that! I'm sure Bodybuilding's got a lot of good things to offer beyond muscle size, but i'm also sure that it's not much more than lifting irons, eating good and having mentalpreparation.. It's not much more than that! Lifting irons don't construct angels! In our society, we have the same conception for people that works, specially in factories.. thanks to industrial revolution. - "Working nobles the soul"; "God helps who wakes up early"... fuck that. Do you know what i'm trying to say now?
He may never win for political reasons. What an injustice. A truly humble, mental & physical champion.
This was Awesome. Thank you! :-)
i love this dvd
4th place is REALLY good in the first olympia jeez....
Pleeeeease tell me the music from the 5:40
This is an excerpt from a video I shot and edited. The full video of this training session and many more training and lifestyle documentary videos from Kai and other top level bodybuilders are available on my channel.

He deserved rank 1 2014.
What is the song that plays on the shoulder work out at the beginning of the video
I'll say this, i like him and i think he's great on what he's doing =)
and i like that he doesn't settle to be at 4th place, but i know everyone to get 4th place at mr Olympia is a very very great deal".

Does anyone else think that kai green looks like a real life teenage mutant ninja turtle
kai is defo my favourite bodybuilder after the one and only arnold :D
I love how Kai shits on Branch repeatedly when talking about coming in fourth. lol.
I feel exactly the same.
29:09 Just out of curiosity I would love to know what Kai was thinking at that moment? Notice the smirk and how he shakes his head. Just curious. Was he recalling a funny memory? Thinking of appreciation for his partner? Having a philosophical debate between two of himself?
I asked him and he explains it in the documentary
Why do i never see phil or jay sad like this during olympia?
This guy has to win this year FFS!!!! they robbed him already of too much!
Pedro said it perfect man
These comments lol. People just cant be happy for another individual's success.
Its sad that the video didn't mention the only other person that has ever tied with ronnie coleman in mr olympia 8 times was Lee Haney.
52:36 everytime that shit happens to me, i get a mini heart attack
People always want to think everyone is on steroids. They just hate to admit that some people do work very hard.
It meant: YOU CAN'T SEE ME.

I want Oscar!
33:00 very well put
