I am very much looking foreword having Oscar and Kai in my Koloseum Gym...ASAP...so we can exchange some ideas and try to bring the best Kai at the next Arnold ...and Olympia...
I am certainly willing to share my knowledge with numerous pros...as I did for many years...People are just not aware of how many I really have helped in last decade and a half...
Take a look at Nasser before 1993 (when at FIBO I gave his wife 2 hour free seminar what Nasser should do for his next shows) with those instructions look for improvements he made by 1994 NOC (only year I missed NOC) and Olympia.
But, REAL IMPROVEMENTS happened when he moved to San Diego and I gave him my journals to study and take what he finds interesting...He came back few days later with suggestion: "he is not stupid, he knows that I made those journals just to trick him and no way in hell that i would be stupid enough to share such important knowledge to his competitor...
So, i asked him:
"Are you suggesting that I made these journals (since 1987 'til 1994 - until the time I gave him to take home and study...And I continued to 1999 - when I stopped) with 10 to 12 meals written every day, and precise measurement of every food in every meal - including breakdown of macro nutrients PROTEIN/CARBS/FAT/Calories...in each meal, totaled by the end of the day - 365 days per year times 10-12 meals...= 3650-4000 meals per year and than multiply that with 8 year yournals I gave him at the time...32000 meals I would write in my notebook, all nice and neath and color separated...with additional TRAINING, SUPPLEMENTATION AND Rx medication I was taking...+ numerous photos about every 7-10 days...where I would "inspect what I expect" and check if I am happy with progress or IF I should consider changing anything....
JUST TO TRICK YOU?"As he thought for a second (or 10 minutes) he realized how ridiculous that would be - but than he asked - well, you say you take insulin...but you are never fat...I took insulin and made me fat?
YEAP, it could make you obese if you don't know what you are doing...It can also KILL YOU...something that you'll hardly notice (being dead) but people around you will...believe me (well, if I knew than what I know now - I would not be so sure...)
Anyway.
With all his probable denial - I have so much material that I can prove what I am saying - I welcome his response....
I mentioned him as he was the very first pro I have helped - and typical example where I would take average guy and in just few months put him on stage so superior - he would instantly become ELITE OLYMPIA CONTENDER...
So, look at pics of Nasser up to 1994 Olympia...and than since he started working with me on January of 1995 - take a look of his two shows in may: Houston and Night of Champions - which he won convincingly - looking unbelievable...And than look 1995 Mr. Olympia (where he placed 3RD...)....
Making average pro top contender over night...started with Nasser...and continued with numerous others - Vince Taylor for Mr. O'95 and Euro Tour 1995 - where he dominated competition beating guys that manage to beat him at the O...
Dennis James (look his pro debut 1999 NOC) and than 2000 Arnold Classic to understand difference
Gustavo...maybe best example - I started working with him at mid November 2003 and check what he looked at the 2003 Ironman (placing 3rd behind dexter and lee) and than having incredible 2 years with me - placing top 3 at both 2004 and 2005 Mr. Olympia...
Kris Dim - not making progress in NPC until he hired me in 2002 and in couple of months he won 2002 USA light-heavy class, 2nd at Nationals, than in 2003 as I was already preparing Richard Jones for 2003 USA and Kris called me 6 weeks out telling me he wants to compete as well - there was nothing that I could tell Kris but...better wait for Nationals...as Richard is going to be beyond dangerous (I knew he'll be untouchable, and i did contact Peter Mc Gough prior to the show letting him know that he must take a look at ONE GUY IN PARTICULAR...as I knew he would instantly want him for FLEX...Well, Kris decided to do it anyway, not fearing Richard...and we all know results...Richard won the Overall and Kris got second...)
As Kris promised his wife that IF HE DOESN'T turn pro by the age of 30 - he'll quit...pressure was on 2003 Nationals...So, I made sure I was with him in Miami - and job was done...he turned pro (should have been Overall but nevertheless...) and in his pro debut he immediately qualified for Olympia - in Sacramento 2004, behind Dexter and Lee, but beating numerous others - including Gustavo, Chris Cormier...etc....
Hidetada Yamagishi...?!
Check this board alone and see what people were saying back in 2006...when I started working with him - no way in million years he'll be Olympia competitor...Check also my response: give me one year and I'll bet anyone...
While we almost managed to qualify in 2006 (missing by one spot)...Hide easily qualified for 2007 Olympia...
One contest in particular - where I had something to say to Bob and others - was Ironman 2007...
All of my three guys were arguably in their best shape of their life...yet Silvio placed 4th, Hidetada 7th and Joel 10th...IMHO - all 3 could have take 1st-2nd-3rd...with Tonny Freemen ONLY being competitive - and NO ONE ELSE - PERIOD!
Of course - if judges would have judge physiques and not names...
James FLEX Lewis...
...he was a
baby, boy...when he came to visit me and year later I was getting phone calls from over the Seas asking who is this man...pro bodybuilder you sent back to us?
Lee Powel was funniest of all - as he was in complete disbelief...
But, point I am trying to make is: I have been helping guys for numerous years...and I always
try -
succeed getting THE MOST OUT OF EVERYONE...
Dennis Wolf...is just one of the guys you can see what happens when someone else takes over...
Silvio Samuel...
...Bob and others claim he is so much better since he left me...
Take a look his Ironman-Sacramento-Arnold 2007 with me...and take anything before that or after that...and compare...
And even "my Achilles tendon" - Dennis James...IF I had to say the truth from very beginning (instead of covering for him) - I would have said many things differently...but as a friend it was easier for me to take the blame than expose his flows and/or mistakes...
What many don't understand - I don't do this because I have to...but I am doing something that I absolutely LOVE doing...and have been doing 24 hours a day for 30 years pretty much...
So, I am not going anywhere...I am coming back to ifbb - one way or another...but also, I would be very much willing to help deserving bodybuilders achieving their full potential...
I already called Wolfy...and we will have a talk by the end of this week...
I would love to see Ronnie coming here as well - as I would be 100% certain he will exceed his personal best...
Darrem Charles...as well...as it hurts me to see what is happening with him...and besides - for someone who looked pretty much the same for many years - people would be able to see what kind of difference I can make even for "unchangeable" physiques...
Even Jay...as much as he impressed me and I personally congratulated him (calling his mobile phone and leaving a message as comparisons during prejudging just started...it was clear to me that he'll win...).
I am still not happy with his back detail, hardness, tie-inns, lower back separation/striations...delts detail/striations and chest striations...Also intercoastals/serratus could be better and even arms - both size wise (as big as his arms are proportionately could be bigger...and certainly better in seperation/vascularity/triceps striation/biceps-brachialis tie-in......and Jesus - his haircut...
- he might as well use some wigs from Bobs huge collection...but having a nest on the stage could attract some birds...and I know exactly what Dexter was thinking looking at that mess...You heard it here first...dexter will plant some birdies backstage and if Jay brings that "Coockoo's nest" on the stage - we'll have a scene only Hitchcock could create...(the only good thing is - some birds will go after Bob...so THAT PART I would enjoy seeing...so Dex...just go ahead...proceed with your plan...
OK...to get back to Kai...
I absolutely love the guy.
He is true artist in every sense of that word.
Everything he does is ART (and I know some of you jerk-offs will mention grapefruit...but lets face it...WORLD is ruled by SEX and SEXUALITY and all of you "purist" will still do so many nasty things behind the close doors...and rightfully so: THAT should be done behind the close doors...but some guys unfortunately had to do certain things in life as "necessity is mother of all inventions and intentions"...and I don't blame Kai for doing whatever he did at the time - to survive...
That is long behind him...What he brings on stage is absolutely ORIGINAL, PHENOMENAL, EXCITING, BORDER LINE UNREAL...SPECTACULAR IN EVERY SENSE OF THAT WORD...
I told him yesterday - Kai, you have set your standard so high that now when you are still best conditioned guy on the stage in comparison to others - judges will compare you to your previous best...and actually say: you are OFF!?!?
So check how OFF
Kai really was:
