Title: Olympia: Kai Greene Update from Mike P. from MD
Post by: Wiggs on September 08, 2009, 01:01:56 PM
Just sent a tape to Robbie of footage that I shot last night of Kai working chest at Gold Gym. It was an incredibly intense session. Toward the end Kai's body began to give out on him. I'm paraphrasing Oscar, so I'm probably getting alot of this wrong but Kai's muscles stopped contracting because he is so calorie deprived at this point. He said something about the sugars in the muscles was completely depleted. Still Kai powered on.

I hope some of the intensity comes through in the tripod footage I mailed to Robbie. Please don't blame him if it's a little spotty at times. I'm running two cameras and the documentary hand-held shots must take precedence.

The chest workout happened during the night. After that and a supermarket stop we got back to the hotel at 2:30 AM. Even though Osacr was going to let him off the hook, half an hour later Kai felt ready to go back and do cardio, so we piled in the car and drove back to the gym!

Later today we go shopping for more food. Then more cardio and another workout. I've never seen a human being pushed like this. It's beyond endurance and is almost a monk-like ordeal. Kai rarely speaks. He listens to motivational tapes all day, writing in a journal when he isn't eating, sleeping or working out. His intensity, and focus is almost frightening, yet he projects an aura of calm so that I feel very relaxed when I am in his presence.

So far this has been an amazing experience.

More to come...

I didn't say you followed him in the shower and got on your knees begging for an 'autograph' with his favorite 'Pen"  now did I ?

Wiggs, serious question: isn't there a part of you that thinks that no matter how great Kai looks, and I do think he will look good, that the machine will never let him win, the MD and "interesting" past keeping from taking 1st no matter what he does?

Honestly no.  I think that if you come into a contest and just outright dominate there is nothing they can do to stop you. Alla Dorian 93 and Ronnie 98.  This is the plan according to Oscar for Kai.  If it's close well then we know who probably gets the nod...

How often did Kai do this in the past? Do you feel he will be able to continue to push like this for his next contest, and/or the rest of his career?
Hope he doesn't burn himself out and become a one-hit wonder.
How does his gut look? I see he's covering up quite a bit and since we're so close that makes sense, however, you yourself mentioned that Kai's gut was getting attention for this prep via Oscar. Have they undertaken any measures to reduce or keep his gut from getting any worse?

I agree with tendonitis on this one...

 At best he will take 2nd. That's still a fine payday but this is a race for 2nd place as a MuscularDevelopment contracted 'athlete' will NEVER win Joe Weider's Mr. Olympia not allowing Joe Weider publications to not be able to have any access to the Mr. Olympia.

Kai has never gone to this length to prepare for a show.  He stay covered up all the time.  I don't know how he does it in the Vegas 100+ weather.  From what I can tell his guy looks the same as it was for Arnold.  His gut was never a problem, it was his waistline that was starting to expand with the extra weight he put on. I can't accurately assess his waistline because of all the clothing.

It would be quiet interesting to see how something like that would go down if a MD "athlete" won.

Isn't Kai supposed to pass out on the stepmill at 2 or 3 weeks out after his third hour cardio session? What about the long, low carb induced stationary bike ramblings of old? Where the f*ck is the drama?  :-\

My prediction: If not in the top 3-4 this year, Vic and/or Wolf will leave MD for Weider.....and they should.

whats the big fuckin deal, this guy doesnt have a job, all he does is eat, sleep and workout......what kind of dedication does this take when its your fuckin job.

its like me being commended because i go to work everyday on time and do my job, then go home.

how about workin a real job not fuckin grapefruits for $$$, and goin to the gym, doin your cardio, and eating a perfect diet, while taking care of a family and being fiscally responsible. When a bodybuilder does that, then ill be in "awe" of one like the dude whos schmoeing around filming kai is.

They're all in that situation, doesn't mean they're all dedicated or traning as hard, not at all.

His dedication and desire is exactly what it takes. Some don't have or realize it; this is the norm for reaching for greatness and doesn't have to cause injury when training smart.

For Kai at this period of time, bodybuilding is his real job.  Do you think that MuscleMeds is just some non-paying bullshit sponsor?  3 pro wins garnered a decent salary that allows him to train the way he does, or even fuck a grapefruit if he wants..

Great post flexington.

While Kai's determination this year is admirable, his past is shaky at best and its not that difficult to be so focused when this is the only thing you do.

Nonetheless, will be very interesting to see how Kai appears.  He looks really big...hopefully the gut is in check, as that has been growing with the new size he has added.  Unless he's off, he's definitely near the top.
