Kai Greene is 42 years old, that's ancient in bodybuilding. So if this is true, it's actually a pretty smart move.

Is it ancient? Coleman and plenty of other BBs have had success late 30s/40s +

It's relative to position mainly. He could come back and do decently, but he'd never be a threat for the Olympia like he was just a couple of years ago. If he retires now, he goes out on a high note, rather than becoming one of those old bodybuilders that are always chasing the dream.

Relative to position makes sense.
I wonder, though, if BBs start later, if they wouldn't suffer the palumboistic effects as much.
Say, someone didn't really drug up until 35, could they be peaking at 42 instead of declining?

Actually, many guys peak in their mid to late 30s. Id say bbing is a rare physical endeavour where age is not so much a deciding factor (to a point).

I work out with this one guy periodically and he is 58 6' 270 lean and he has gotten much better the last few years than he was in his 40s.Obviously juiced but still he just keeps getting bigger and leaner.

Not at all ... that's average, just look at the ages of the top 20 Bodybuilders in the world . You'd be surprised
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dorian Yates's best years were mid 30's, and he was already a Olympia winner.
Coleman's best years were again late 30's, and he was already firmly cemented in the top spot. By the time he was Kai's age he was dropping in the ranks.
Cutler, again his best years were mid - 30's. He was younger than Kai when he started fading.
Jackson won it in his late 30's. He's doing ok, but will he ever win another Olympia?
Phil Heath, again mid to late 30's best years. He's half a decade younger than Kai.
42 is old in competitive bodybuilding at the Olympia level. Sure, there are older guys that look and feel great, but it's rare that they do anything at the Olympia level, they are usually middle of the pack at best. Jackson and Rhoden are the only guys over 40 that have a chance at being top 3 placers at the Olympia.

What does this mean? The super league has bodybuilding competitions? I am not american.

It seems like a throwback to the old days of competition with athletic portions, physique portions, and fan interaction portions contributing to a total score.
-
Never heard of the Super League before.
There are no rules!
There are no judges!
BUT .......
-
This is the League of superhuman Men and women with superhuman form and superhuman function.
This is not a physique pageant. There are no posers and there are no judges.
The opinions, bases, and personal interpretations of other humans are not allowed.
Only real athletes and metrics
It looks to me that this will open the GetBig doors to much animosity.

Fake news
-
Just had a quick glance at the SuperLeague web-site and it sure as hell seems to be very similar to a bodybuilding contest somewhat along the lines on the NPC/IFBB Men's Classic.
At first glance it appears to be in opposition to the IFBB/NPC org, which surprises me as it appears that Dorian is somehow involved.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out!
-
FAKE NEWS??? Maybe .... but ....... According to the website ....
Anyone can compete in Super League by sending us an application via the contact form. After our first event, there will be two ways to turn pro neither of which involve local shows, pro qualifiers, or years of traveling to get your pro card.
1. GET DRAFTED BY THE LEAGUE. As determined by the League Council Dorian Yates, Erin Stern, and Stan Efferding pro athletes must simply exhibit the following:
The characteristics of a great physique (3D score)
The ability to create exceptional output in the gym (OQ)
A positive presence on social media
Athletic accomplishment is helpful, but not required
2. BEAT A PRO TO BE A PRO. You can achieve professional status by posting a SuperScore that cracks our world rankings. Official score registration will be available in the Las Vegas Arena on the 1st Saturday of each month, beginning in August 2017. A qualifying score grants you pro status, and the ability to compete in any Championship Event.

You're a 52 year old man insecure enough to stay on steroids. Hardly a hot shot yourself Mr

The Super League isn't a bodybuilding competition....its a powerlifting one. No word from Kai so I'm calling bullshit just for advertising from this Super League
-
Kai fucked a grapefruit. Kai sounds like an imbecile when he talks. Kai hasn't competed in years. Why does anybody give a shit what Kai does?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ;D

ron says he hasnt left ifbb

I'm no expert regarding this subject matter but ...... it appears that this will simply be another form of a Powerlifting event/federation.
Dorian is the Super League president and as far as I am aware he is also closely associated with the IFBB and most likely would do nothing to discredit that association.
And since the NPC nor the IFBB have nothing at all to do with weight lifting events or competitions, it appears that there is no conflict between the IFBB/NPC and the Super League.
The Super League website is a bit confusing (maybe I'm just not reading it correctly) but on my next input I will post some major points regarding this new ....Powerlifting Federation ????!!
At present there are approximately 30 National/International powerliftingfederations, so this new Super League may be of interest for the many powerlifting enthusiasts on this here GetBig Board.
If I am correct in assuming that this Super League is simply a new powerlifting federation with more events and judging criteria, I fail to see why there would be any IFBB problem for Kai to join this League as a member, an official, a contestant, or simply as an observer.
-
I are dumb and cannot fully comprehend the Super League details as explained on its website .... but here are some of the major points as so stated on that website.
The Super League will promote a Super League event in Las Vegas on 09/16/2017. I assumer further details will follow.
Dorian Yates is the Super League President
Gal Ferreira is a League Official
Stan Efferding is a League Official
It appears that the contest will consist of the following cut and paster events:
1. Plate Loaded Squat (by Arsenal)
2. Plate Loaded Leg Extension (by Super League)
3. Rack Deadlifts (by Sorinex)
4. Lat Pulldowns (by Arsenal)
5. Dumbbell Curls (by jBells)
6. Incline Dumbbell Flys (by jBells)
7. Standing Shoulder Press (by Super League)
8. Plate Loaded Dips (by Arsenal)
I have no idea what the following is all about but it does appear to be interesting:
Originally designed by the U.S. Military for weapons manufacturing, three dimensional extrusion (3DX) is advanced laser measurement technology that is accurate to within 100 microns. Now being applied to fitness athletes, it is the new gold standard for the industry.
The weight classes:
(M) Super Heavyweight 240 pounds and over
(M) Heavyweight 220 to 239 pounds
(M) Cruiserweight 200 to 219 pounds
(M) Light Heavyweight 180 to 199 pounds
(F) Middleweight 140 to 150 pounds
(F) Lightweight 130 to 139 pounds
(F) Featherweight 120 to 129 pounds
(F) Angelweight 119 pounds and below
The following does appear to describe some form of a bodybuilding event and was a response to the question "Do I have to be ripped and dehydrated? Ripped, yes. Dehydrated, no. Every athlete must find the right balance of achieving the best possible Deltas, while maintaining maximum output. The lighter the bodyweight the better the OQ, and the smaller the waist the better the 3D Score. This is a real sport. Using bodybuilding prep as a reference point between 4 to 6 weeks out condition.
So as it is explained above the bodybuilding (composition???) event appears to be of importance in some predetermined formula to decide how one gets placed in the powerlifting event.
Can I spray my body and do a stage routine?
No! Go elsewhere. Probably your local pageant. (This appears to be a derogatory answer.)
Do I have to wear an expensive outfit or little posing trunks?
No. The only requirements are Nike compression shorts and Nike shoes. Men may compete shirtless and women may compete with a Nike sports bra. Other supplement and apparel clothing may require League approval. (Nike a sponsor?)
DO athletes have to appear at two separate events such as prejudging and finals? No. Your maximum time at the event will be four hours, and you will receive a schedule two weeks prior to the competition. All athletes are also provided two live tickets if you choose to spectate before and after your rounds.
Do friends and family have to pay to watch the competition? No. All events are live streamed for free on www.bodybuilding.com. Limited live seating is also available for purchase at each Championship Event.
DO I have to pay fees every year to compete? No. Athletes only pay one lifetime fee of $99 to join Super League. There is an entry fee to participate in each of the Championship Events unless you are sponsored by one of our partners.
How do I join Super League? Anyone can compete in Super League by sending us an application via the contact form. After our first event, there will be two ways to turn pro neither of which involve local shows, pro qualifiers, or years of traveling to get your pro card.

Interesting!!!! How many GetBiggers will be entering?
If you can provide more information, pls do so!

insecurity is mans driving force...
-
Seems like super league notorious are a bunch of hasbeens, one waiting for a new heart, and another brain dead. The mansheila is also there, and last but not least, the lying tren addict.
-
He is just making a apperance at their first show. They are paying him close to 50k so why not. It is the same weekend as the Mr O. I wounder if the IFBB is going to like this.
-
Has anyone heard of any rumors of animosity that may have ocurred between Yates and the IFBB?
I don't believe that anything has occured but it is interesting to hear that Super League will be promoting a non-IFBB-sanctioned event the same weekend as the Olympia ...... if such an event is actually happening.
To the best of my knowledge ... Yates has always had a close and friendly association with the IFBB and the people within the IFBB.
AND ... Based on the SL website, it does not appear that a bodybuilding event will be promoted .... but one's body "condition" / "composition" may be a factor in computing the scores of the lifting events.
At first sight the new Super League appears to be a Strength and Stamina event with no official sanctioning body other than the Super League itself.
It appears to have taken Powerlifting one step further and does not appear to be in any conflict with the IFBB other than it is holding an event the same weekend as the O. (If that event date is a fact?).
Can someone refer me to the site concerning the SL event that will be held the same weekend as the "O"?

This is the third round of Superleague...the FAN interaction.
-
JUST FOUND THIS . . .
-
So will he finally accept that special invite?
-

Would liven things up but yeah I doubt it too
-
He's there to promote the new league with Dorian Yates...don't you dipshits even follow the news in this fucking bodybuilding world?? He WILL NEVER STEP ON AN OLYMPIA STAGE AGAIN!!!! Give it up already!!!
-
So somebody mentioned in another thread that Kai Greene will be in Vegas on Olympia weekend (this weekend) not for the Olympia, but to promote the Super League.
And maybe this topic has already been beaten to death (I've been away from getbig for a few years and I'm too lazy to scroll back to threads from weeks or months ago)...but doesn't this new venture look like the most boring thing imaginable? I mean, even more boring that your typical bodybuilding show. It's like miniature golf--it's fun when you're actually doing it, but nobody in their right mind is going to pay to watch somebody else doing it. Or am I wrong? Please share your thoughts. Thank you.
-
So will he finally accept that special invite?
YES...KAI WILL ACCEPT THAT SPECIAL INVITE !!!
BUT... THE SPECIAL INVITE THAT KAI WILL ACCEPT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK...
INFACT THE SPECIAL INVITE WILL CUM FROM THIS INDIVIDUALS... :o

This. Will likely die of death in a year or so.

I thought last contest was complete trash. I think it will die too but lets hope for the best.

What super league is doing this weekend is such a cocky move that its just meant to fail.
-
Though he is not in competition, Kai is making money from a rival organization.
This has been generally outlawed by DeMillia, and now Manion.
The WBF athletes that came back in 93 had to pay fines proportional to their wages (odd arrangement)
Lee Priest was suspended for competing in Dmillia's failed venture - PDI
former WNBF and IFPA (natural orgs) pros, had to promise not to compete in those orgs again, when they competed in the NPC
When a rival org posposed to have a contest the same weekend as the NPC USAs, the NPC (Manion) threatened to suspend any athlete that was thinking of jumping ship
Over 20 years ago, i recall reading an article in flex where Jean Pierre Fux was fined for simply guest posing in a rival org
So despite Ron toeing the line (in another thread), it would be surprising for the IFBB to not discpline/fine Kai
for posing / participating and making money with another org, especially over Olympia weekend.
The controlling nature of Manion et al is what would make such an outcome surprising.
-
yes,
watch Manion, on his power- ego -trip fine Kai and possibly ban him from the IFBB

I don't think so yet. They want him back bad. Without him the O is not the same.

He's not competing in the other org

I don't think Kai will do the O again

totally true

I agree unless Phil retires.
