Title: 2012 Kai Greene must be one of the best physiques ever.
Post by: Frank Clairmonte on June 19, 2014, 02:10:58 PM
Great combination of mass and aesthetics, probably his best showing ever in my book.

Kai has been consistently the only "wow" physique as far as I'm concerned.

Yes....even when he dropped placings

He peaked right there wont ever have that combination again, still battling structure wise against the very best in the sport but still better in that department than big Ron who managed to win his share of olympia s with just size and condition.

I disagree. Ronnie had a better structure. It was only when he went to El Monstro levels did he looked flawed. He had a small waist, and was 5'10-11, so he could carry the weight. Kai is 5'8 and looks very compact due to having too much muscle on his frame. Just look at that one shot where he is standing with is arms near his side and abs flexed. His waist/torso lacks a definitive taper...it's a "U" instead of a "V".

No
Comparison to ronnie .... On ANY level ronnie bigger harder rounder muscles better muscle insertions better taper etc etc.... Kai isn't even in the same ball park , country or on the same planet...

Ronnie quads to big for his hamstrings from the side, long legs short torso, long rib cage short midsection, long arms. Muscle and condition for the sake of it Ronnie probably wont ever be surpassed, but structure wise hes the worst mr olympia ever. Kai structure at this point isnt good, but  at its best and hes more balanced than Ron particularly through the hammies and calves, yeah his backs short in comparison and Ronnie has far more muscle, but hes more pleasing to the front and side than Ronnie was.

One of the best physiques ever, no doubt.  If the Olympia were held in the nude, that mighty mastiff would have multiples Sandows hanging from it.

If you look at it that way, then pretty much all of the multiple O winners have terrible structures. Dorian was shaped like a barrel, Haney's arms were too small for his torso, Arnold's waist was too wide, so he needed to twist in different shots.

Thats because he was 4 feet closer to you than Kai was. Only thing was, you couldn't see him standing 4 feet in front of the line like we could. :D

Srsly though, he was 4 feet closer to you than Kai was.goddamn cheater.

Dorian best modern day bodybuilding structure, Arnold best classic structure maybe even bettered by Zane.

Agreed. Dorians structure was excellent,  especially lighter. If you actually lool at the pre judging in 93, his waist was as narrow as most of his competitors. He had an almost perfect skeletal build for the mass he carried as far as torso/limb length goes. His bicep insertions kinda sucked, but that was it.

Haneys structure was very good also, just his upper body seemed over developed in comparison to his legs.
Dorian 93 prior to injury and waist growing was as close to perfection in terms of size structure and condition with no obvious overall obvious weaknesses we have seen, for me the look is still to overly dependant on drugs im not a fan of modern bodybuilding but giving credit where its due, Bodybuilding peaked that day, Ronnie had more muscle, but structure wise they are light years apart. Later versions of Dorian also dont compare, Flex earlier in 93 at the ironman must be close to the second best all time shape, with Leverone 92 at the olympia my personal third.

What, you must be trolling? Levrone famously had saidin which he said that Dorian was not the genetically blessed with a good structure, but he did the best with what he had. And others have said that as well. I believe Dorian himself even said that his structure/physique wasn't "pretty". Dorian was very blocky. The fact is that the best structure or aethestically perfect physique does not win, but the most freakiest.

Exactly why he said best 'modern' structure. Dude had the perfect structure to carry that freaky mass. You seem tp forget this is subjevtive, there isnt a 'ideal' structure.  Its whatever looks good to you. I prefer his structure over a flex, he looks like a tank, massive and powerful, herculean. Not pretty, but no one ever said 'pretty' is ideal.

I distinctly remember Cormier  saying Kai physique looks like a frog... Harsh but compared to a guy like Cormier .. True... Kai is good for nowadays SHIT STANDARDS but should never be used in any sentence where the word ever follows the word greatest.

Now doubt in any sane mind he was the the 2012 winner.

In about  2007 he had this weird squashed torso look.He sorted that. Think that were the frog comment come from.
+ Cormier always seemed pretty precious.
