When I travelled to Las Vegas to tape Kai Greene as he prepared for his first attempt to win the Mr. Olympia crown I expected to see the usual hardcore workouts that Kai is known for.
Instead, I found an athlete pushed to his limits...and beyond. The word "hardcore" began to take on a new meaning.

where is wiggs? >:( i thought he was kai's biggest schmoe in Vegas.

I believe I was edited out. This is the gym I was at with Kai and Oscar and this is the gym I train at. I was also promised a free video and haven't seen that. I feel like an IFBB pro....broken promises.

Wiggs, I've told you, you weren't edited out! My video has NOTHING to do with whatever video you were shot for and whoever made you that promise was working for someone else. This is not an MD video. It's MuscleMeds DVD shot by me and only by me. I've never met you!
However if you'd like to be in Kai's NEXT DVD, let's talk!

Obviously there was a bit more to the story than what you saw in that short clip. Maybe that's why it's called a teaser!

Why is the narrators voice is so fake and cheesy also kai is a strange person no doubt what's with all the strange faces and biting his sweat shirt
hats off to Coleman just liftin no extra emphasis no faces no cheesy over dramatic voice on his vids
just heavy lifting

Maybe because the narrator is trying to do something different with the same old workout footage.
By the way, many people have found this DVD to be very inspiring. Usually it's people who have actually TRIED bodybuilding.

.... i made a comment about the dvd which is my personal opinion
i didnt make a direct comment about you and trust me i can... i know who you are(genetics) :-)
dont assume to know anything about me
ok back to what i was sayng i own dozens of bbin dvd and take it from a HARDCORE lifter
the simplicity works... that hollywood voice would be the only reason i wouldnt purchase the DVD
this is coming from a potential customer a good business man would take ALL opinions on board

That has nothing to do with hardcore, check out Kyomus and Pacos training then you know what's hardcore.

First of all, you may know what I look like (I'm not a bodybuilder) but you don't know much about me either. I take ALL constructive criticism very seriously and am determined to learn from it every time. When I was a professional musician and someone requested a song I did not know, I made damn sure that the next time I played in that venue I knew that song. It is the same with my video work.
Having said that, I agree with you that simplicity is important in filmmaking. However, the OVERWHELMING majority of BB fans tell me that the 3 hour unedited workout videos of the past put them to sleep. I have gotten a lot of feedback about this DVD. Personal emails from all over the world. I find that those people who connect most strongly with the story of OVERKILL tend to be those who have pushed themselves to the limit, as Kai does. It was a blanket, generic statement. Although it was meant as a dig, if you've spent any time on getbig at all you shouldn't have taken it personally. Should I have taken "cheesy" personally when there was a better way to say what you meant? You get what you give in this world bro.
My DVDs are an attempt to push the genre a bit and give the audience something new. OVERKILL is an essay on bodybuilding at its highest level. I consider myself like a reporter in the field, asked to bring back my impressions of what I saw. I did that. But I also agree with you that it's not for everyone.

Please re-read my OP more carefully. I said that it REDEFINED what hardcore meant. Hardcore is not always about lifting heavy weights. Throwing big weights around the gym is all well and good when you feel strong.
Hardcore can also mean never giving up even when you feel like shit and want to quit. I think this clip and OVERKILL in general exemplifies that philosophy.

Ok point taken please do not think it was a personal attack because it wasn't. Wh knows I might even get a copy as it seems different

"Kai is crashing into the limitations of the human body"
I guess he found a grapefruit he couldn't penetrate :D :D
-
why is kai greene such a fucking drama queen? watch a coleman video and you don't see any of this bullshit. Does he think hes some kind of fucking martyr or something?
