absolutely, 100% false, unless you actually mean people on getbig.com
highschool age kids, ie basically everyone who "goes into" bodybuilding, are largely clueless.
X2.
On the one hand, the video has a good look and sound to it. It's well edited, and bills itself as an inside look at a 'day in [Kai's] life.' Moreover, I understand that the “documentary” is aimed toward an unsophisticated audience. However, on the other hand, it is precisely because of this targeting that I am sympathetic to concerns over the filmmaker's “storytelling.”
The issue I have is not whether the video’s narrative is obligated to expose bodybuilding’s seamy underbelly in the interest of full disclosure or absolute “truth,” but rather whether it contributes to a naďve romanticization of professional bodybuilding by sweeping all the sordid stuff under the rug.
Subsequently, to the initiated, the video smacks of disingenuous mythmaking; while to uninitiated, and soft-headed groupies, it postures as a positive-thinking motivator by spitting out self-help platitudes. I imagine that if Norman Vincent Peale was a schmoe, he’d sound like the narrator.
Seriously, how ought one consider such comments as:
α: “Many theories have been advanced to explain the reasons for Kai’s ever-present hoodie.”Why write this into the narrative? Was NASA burning the midnight oil on this mysterious conundrum? The video actually has Kai answer this tripe.
β: “On this particular Day in the Life, Kai begins his gym session not with cardio, but with a twelve minute warm-up for mind and body. He then performs a long and careful abdominal and stretching routine. His focus at this time is so strong that the photographer and I dare not interrupt him.”Really, upon pain of what? Does the filmmaker think he is Sir David Attenborough filming a pride of hungry lions?
Overall, the video comes off as jejune nonsense on stilts. Still, good luck to filmmaker and his fluff-piece, juvenile fantasy video series. And the very best to Kai at the O; he's overcome circumstances that would have crushed the spirits of lesser men disinclined to do violence against the will of subtropical fruit (and allow dirty schmoes to suck his penis under a towel during his "artistic" stripping shows).
