Interesting point

My gym is now busy in the morning as guys do their pre contest cardio - it used just to be me


Overheard one guy say he was just working part time as a waiter so work didnt interfere with his prep !

( he wasnt that good !!)

Are their really people this committed and stupid !!

Shows there's no excuse - if you claim to really really want something and are mentally and physically fit and healthy then nothing can stop you unless you let it.

You need to compare him with the likes of Mark Dugdale and Stan Effing who manage to have a successful career and be a pro

I cant feel impressed by someone who lives in a block smelling of piss and then has the time to paint porn when he should be out getting a job

Good point. I hadn't thought of it like that. I guess in the way it's presented, it's meant to make you feel kinda sorry for the guy.

You dont know who Mark Dugdale is ???

Ok Effing was a bit vague but Branch Warren , jay Cutler , Dorian , all have successful careers and business interests and dont live in places smelling of piss and my point stands

Sergio Oliva was a full time steel worker FFS !!

I see no reason why this way of living should be seen as something to admire or something anyone has to settle for to reach ONE of your life goals .

Totally fooking stupid

Rant over

( still on diet :twisted: )

No I only know the big names in bodybuilding.

Branch, jay, Dorian all had the cash to set up buisness ventues, he doesn't even have the cash to live in a piss free place.

He had a career, it was the fruit fucking career that got him in this mess in the first place. I'm not sure what job would allow him the time to eat 8lbs of fish a day. Kai competes at 250-260lbs, Mark at 202, one of those weights requires alot of eating. Alot of people compete at 200lbs (their just normal sized people) only a very few compete at post 250lbs. Its a different league.

Ah yes the melon job !!


Sorry still see nothing to admire here . zero.nowt . nil

Pretty much all of us start out with nothing and get somewhere better .

And I dont buy that he has to settle for this lifestyle because he eats a lot of fish !!!

Olivio was a copper in NY mate.

Kia is a bit of a fruit cake and had no family, so he's done okay considering

I dont think it would be possible for anyone of Kai's size and consistant standard of top 5 in the world to hold a normal job. It just wouldnt be possible imo at that size and also at the conditioning he takes on the stage. Its a diffeent time and physiqe now from the days gone by when Arnie was a brick layer etc. Thats gone if you want to be up there even close.

All the top guys have business interests and good sponsorship that will require them to do bits n bobs representing i would imagine. Kai ruined his image and brand when he must have got desperate for cash and started pumping grapefruit with his oversized donkey kong.

Clearly he has an incredible work ethic to do what he does so i would be that over time he ends up better off and on his feet. His art will probably earn him a few bob for fish and gh

Im not dissing Kai Green !

This time last year I saw him at Bodypower and he is humble and very approachable

However is he someone whose life is to be admired ?

I dont think so he is a successful bodybuilder and thats it .

He has all his eggs in one basket or cocks in one grapefruit

Hes esceptional what he does but his lifestyle is not worthy of admiration

It's not really his lifestyle that I was admiring; it's his work ethic/dedication. The bus/train to the gym for hours, etc. I think many in his cicumstance would give up.

I know what you mean roadz, he could have gone bad and done drugs etc., so he is a role model in many respects
