2011 Arnold: Kai Greene not competing

Kai Greene will not defend his title at the 2011 Arnold Classic

December 23, 2010

Kai Greene will not be defending his Arnold Classic title this year. Greene, the two-time and defending champ, announced today that he will sit out this year's competition.

Greene, who fell to a disappointing seventh at the 2010 Mr. Olympia after being tabbed as a precontest favorite, had been keeping a low profile since October. But all indications were that Greene would be on track to defend his title in Columbus, Ohio. In late December, though, Greene informed us he would be taking off the early part of the new season and would target acompetition later in the year in order to qualify for the 2011 Olympia.

"Defending my Arnold Classic title, winning the Australia Grand Prix and competing in the Olympia took a toll on my body last year," Greene said. "I've been competing at least three times a year since 2006, and I just felt like my body needed to rest in order for me to be at my best. I wish all of the competitors in the 2011 Arnold Classic the best, and I look forward to being back onstage in Columbus in 2012."

Assuming Evan pays uncle joe a visit wearing these and remembers to swallow and not spit, id say its in the bag

[affeman]

I already thought so, something weird going on with his right leg.

[littleguns]

Ahh how Bodybuilding has changed... 3 shows and toll on his body.....

Remember in the 90's, BBer's would get laughed at if they only did 3 shows...

AC will be very interesting as 1&2 are out (Kai and Phil)...

Will Branch win the 2nd big one or will there be a surprise dark horse...

Stay tuned same bat time, same bat channel

First Phil out the Arnold and now Kai - hopefully this will lead to the highest quality and hardest-to-call Olympia top three ever (no schmoemo).

[affeman]

Will Branch win the 2nd big one or will there be a surprise dark horse...

Will be between Branch, Dexter, Wolf and Stalkerpani.

It is not the training and the diet that took a toll to his body for competing 3 time a year but the amount of the drugs he had to take in order to compete at that level ! A clear indication is the disappointing condition at the last Mr. Olympia. When a truckload of drugs and 100% dedication to training and diet do not give you result maybe it is time to give a brake to the body!

Somethings up, my Spidey  Sense is tingling....Both top Weider Athletes out?Is this politics, a backdoor agreement between MD and AMI/Weider? Will we see Dex, Branch, Vic Roelly, Cedric, Nunn, Centsandpennies, Hide, go at it...a agreement to let the youngbloods have a chance?

It also seems like nobody wants to touch Flex Wheeler's record of 4 Arnold Classics

If Cedric McMillan can hit the stage with conditioning he's never had before....

He could take it all on structure alone. Most genetically blessed shape in years.

Just a shame he doesn't diet hard enough

he probably doesnt "diet"

more than likely he might train alot and eat alot to attain more and more size

the uberly shredded look is acheived by unhealthy measures

[Mr Nobody]

Is he still living in section 8 housing where people piss in the elevator? If so where is his money going?
