Author Topic: Kai's Rear Lat Spread - What Happened? (Read 5515 times)

I'm a Kai fan, but what is going on with his rear lat spread? I know he is trying to make his traps appear bigger by not spreading his lats out all the way, but for him this pose went from good to bad with in a short time.

He's getting owned in this pose by 2 guys that can barely even make top 10 at the Mr. Olympia. Kai's back double bicep is one of the best of all-time, but his rear lat spread is..................

On another long haired note, what's up with William Bonac?

Kai's physique is going downhill. Heath will continue to own him.

Triceps also look smaller compared to the other two

Kai's legs are way better than the other two dudes

That's hard to assess in that pic. In other shots Kai's arms arm huge.

This.

I hate to say it, but Kai stands no chance against Phil.

Phil may eventually tie Ronnies and Lees Mr. O record, perhaps even surpass it. Kai was the only one who was a threat to Phil. With Kai regressing, Phil is pretty much lined up to take this years Mr. O, as well as a few others (possibly).

He just won three contests in a row, traveled to Australia and Brazil, and held his condition and size for the most part. He's also been competing since he was a teenager and is over 40 so I think he did really well. He's also 260's/70's at about 5'7.

His quads are nuts.

True, that first pic is nuts.

Crazy and the guy still squats heavy. I don't doubt he may have faded some in Brazil but to compete in all three contests is impressive.

Very simple, he is coming in too heavy. The back is usually the last to come in and the first to go.

Goro versus Goro!! (see the thread about Duck O'Hairs latest ~~acting opportunity~~ actortunity)

Edit: posted because I agree with Mr White that 3 for 3 is very impressive (and I liked the 'warrior' eye contact in this picture)

Kai's upper and lower lats have never been "3D" in the rear later spread pose. Even at lower weights. His traps just blend in unfortunately.

Could be a flexibility issue. One of our friends has an issue with posing bc of flexibility problems with the lats and rotator cuffs. Can't open up the lats.

He's doing it to hide his lack of upper traps.

I like that pic where Kai is sitting on the weight bench, they shoulda put joels stubbs on there though for that shot wether competing or not
