Kai green On ronnie coleman video (repost)

[Nasty Nate]

Dumb-ass Kai comparing himself to a soldier or a cop. Some "athlete". Soldiers don't make videos fucking grapefruits.

nah, they make vids throwing small dogs off cliffs and throwing objects at young children. honourable folk.

This reminds of the sports century done on ray lewis years back when a reporter guy says pre game guys are getting ready, listening to music, getting pumped and he looks over at ray lewis and he is in tears.

Said the guy takes himself to the darkest place he can, thinks about his friends that were murdered, the suffering....etc and works himself into pure fury of rage.

Those who know understand, its a switch you can turn off and on. Most don't get it though.

good post bro

good post, especially the bold, people don't understand this, this is why there are only a few people who can throw around 800. LOL at people thinking Ronnie is a nice guy and timid, of course he behalves accordingly but the amount of stimulants you have to take to break your barriers is enough to kill an elephant, sorry guys you have to be a fucken animal to even survive the anxiety, 30 ephedrine's and 5 caffeine pills, your mentality ain't fucken flowers here, it's fucken "go for the kill" mentality, Ronnie is no different, can't believe people don't get it. Someone here said he is a man of faith, King David is more a man of faith and he literally cut peoples dicks off(and their balls too) he didn't do it to just 1 person's but hundreds, unreal where Ronnie's brain has to travel to pull these incredible feats out, the only difference between him and Branch is Branch doesn't care to hide what he is thinking and Ronnie does

looks pretty angry and aggressive here gettin psyched for this lift

[mesmorph78]

Kai is spot on ... coleman just hides it very well
... I remember watching bfto 2003 the year coleman destroyed everyone on stage
after the 02 olympia everyone said he would lose anyway before he started his leg workout at his home gym,
walking through the kitchen picked up flex with him gunter and culter on the front looked at the cover to psyche himself up quietly
also while working out he keeps playing that hip hop song  , I aint never scared ....
also notice before he squats and deadlifts that 800lbs .... he asks for a slap.....
trust me like kai said there has to be rage in there... any serious trainer knows that

Ronnie greatest Mr. O ever!

looks pretty angry and aggressive here gettin psyched for this lift

2:10 minutes...smiling like a schoolboy.  I don't see any anger in the earlier spots, just some yelling and shouting, but nothing nearly as depressing looking as a guy like Kai or Branch when they're getting ready to lift.  

I'm just laughing my ass off that he's been saying "ain't nuthin but a peanut!" since NINETEEN NINETY FUCKING FOUR!!! ...hilarious!

Anyways, call it what you want and yes, many MANY powerlifters do go to dark places, but I'm just voicing my opinion that in Ronnie's case, it doesn't appear that way.

Branch had a chip on his shoulder and it shows in his training.  Kai is the same.  When you watch Kai train, you can tell he's suffering.  Branch, not so much but nobody enjoys training the way Ronnie does, at least from what it looks like on the outside.

Do you really think that Ronnie is the kind of guy who could harbour some dark demons (like Kai) and we wouldn't have seen a trace of it on stage, in interviews or training videos?  

Kai should (and it seems as of lately he is) look to the positives of Ronnie's training.  When I say it's faith, it's obvious to me that guys like Ronnie, Brian Dobson and Lee Haney all derive (and give thanks to) their faith in God as to why they can do what they do.  Ronnie has said this himself when talking about Haney.  That's the part that they keep more private, their faith...not their rage.  

To each his own, but I've always respected the guys who can go in, get the job done in the gym without looking like they're going to murder someone (like a Craig Titus or even Dorian Yates).  

Remember, in the original Gold's there was NO music...none!  And yet you had the greatest bodybuilders of all time in there, getting the job done.  Now THAT takes mental discipline, IMO.  

The happier guys just always seem to be loving what they do in the gym...even the hardcore animals, screaming and yelling, but that's different than tapping into inner rage to make a lift.  Reminds me of a guy like Layne Norton...wtf?  Does he really need the whole circus atomsphere to train?...man, I think I'd rather be ON steroids than have to go to wherever the fuck he 'goes' to 'get in the zone' for his lifts.

Bottom line for me is that I look at a guy like Kai, a guy who's killing himself in the gym, and I can see why he would think that Coleman must have some dark place he goes to for motivation.  I think the reality is much different, and maybe Kai could learn something from that.  I ain't sayin he should get his ass in church, but he's tried everything else; might not hurt at this point.

1:22  ...puts it in his BIBLE, then...let's it go.  That's different than what Kai is getting at, I think.  This Lewis guy seems like a pretty positive dude.  Unlike Kai, most times, even though he looks like he's getting better.

by letting it go he goes into a complete fit of rage, that is what he means.  He's not sitting there content his friends were murdered and people suffer..etc and is at peace....no..he goes into a rage. He was quoted as calling it "controlled fury" once on the radio down here.

Evander Holyfield is as positive guy as it gets, but he has a raging demon inside him that made him do the impossible at times and he was not taking no shit from anybody in that ring when he channeled that demon...that is what Kai is referring too. That evander we will never meet. Mike Tyson is the polar opposite, he used intimidation and brute strength.....evander was a pure dog from birth....that quiet guy that would take you to the woodshed if necessary.

I`ve known and seen powerlifters and bodybuilders who would scream,headbutt walls or the bar,slap each other,punch stuff,shake the bar aggressively,and other crazy shit before a big lift,on the other hand,I`ve seen Glen Chabot do a triple on the bench with 600 and he was relatively calm while psyching up.

These guys could be cool,or assholes outside of the gym,but even the coolest most calm guys put themselves into an almost hypnotic state before attempting big numbers.........lots of them use rage as a motivator.

You don`t have to be a prick to people outside the gym in order to summon up rage inside the gym.

Unless you have served your country, you should shut your whore mouth. If you had ever spent time in the military, you would know how good and honorable most soldiers are.

Good saying from the wise old man.

interesting thread

[OTHstrong]

I think the ones that disagree with Kai are confused by the word rage in the way Kai means it towards Ronnie. Kai doesn't mean the type of rage where your girlfriend tells you to shut up then you slap her in face and put a hole in the wall, there are different forms of rage and you can be a man of faith and have rage, in fact Jesus himself went into a fury of anger at the temple mount and flipped all the tables.
