Why do people say Kai Greene will not win an Olympia?

[pm22]

Ive seen several people say that Kai will never win an Olympia. Why exactly do you think he wont? I saw a pic from the last Olympia with him Jay, and Phil. Personally i think he could win in the future. Is the more political issues why he wont win? just wondering. thanks


Please ignore the fact my rep bar is red. Nobody on here respects me anymore because of that

Some people think that politics will hold him back. The theory is that he is not a marketable bodybuilder and his past will harm the image of the IFBB.

I don't personally agree with that, but that's why people think he won't.

Heath and Centopani are gonna dual it out and Cutler and Greene will battle for 3rd and 4th place. Kai looks swole but hes just too short for the type of physique he envisioned. If he was 5'10" his vision would of worked wonderfully.

The only people that win are ones that stand to make the most money for whoever has a vested interest

Kai's not short at all, he's average height for a bodybuilder.

IMHO this is what will prevent him from winning Mr. Olympia. Although his physique Olympia worthy his past and the way he presents his physique is not what IFBB wants to represent the sport.

Jesus, the Centopani hype is getting ridiculous

[Carlitom]

Like some others have already said, a lot of people don't think he will ever win a sandow because of the politics of bodybuilding. Is it true? Well, it could very well be because it's quite obvious that politics play a very big role in bodybuilding and how the judging goes. Take last years Olympia for example, and many other shows for that matter.

[pm22]

Thanks for replying everyone. yeah i was thinking the whole political aspect would be an issue. I hope the best for him though, i really think he deserves it, not like anyone doesn't, but i would like to see him win one.

If bb'ing were more mainstream and more people knew about it, I think Kai's past would harm it's image. However, not a whole lot of people are fully aware of what really goes on in bodybuilder or who any of the competitors are for that matter.

^^This. He will not be battling for 1st...

[Deano87]

In a sport thats so serious.
What holds him back:
1. His past.
2. His posing.
3. His inability to bring something outrageous to the Olympia stage.
4. Politics.

I think if he can bring point 3 to the stage, he'd be hard to deny, but it depends i guess.

Thanks man!! i seriously got zero respect on here. I owe you, but idk how the whole rep thing works :/

I was solid green for a long time, but some creepy mod went into a 'roid rage and negged me. Then his synthol arms exploded and he couldn't reverse the neg.

I laugh at people who say Kai is getting screwed by the IFBB. He hasn't brought an Olympia package to the Olympia stage yet. Over-dieted in 09, significantly off in 2010, and Phil was unbeatable last year.

We really don't know if Kai's past will hold him back until he actually has an Olympia winning physique. But I think if he truly, 100% nails it at the O, the judges will have no choice but to give it to him, or they will have a riot on their hands.

if people think that politics are holding him back then kai never would have become a 2x arnold classic winner

I'll walk right around the eggshells everyone is carefully stepping on and say it starts with a G and ends in a rapefruit.

Phil Heath has this to say to Centopani:



JK/ but Phil Heath looked awesome at the Sheru Classic, i'm impressed with some pics i'm just now checking out.



Side-Chest came up heaps since 2009:

It is.

As said Kai has yet to bring his best package to O' stage. If he is the best man up there he will win.

Centopani who didn't even win the Arnold Classic last year is now going to take on Heath for the Olympia? Impressive.

I gotta say these two versions of Kai Greene in the last year were very impressive:

New York





Sheru Classic




Too bad he hasn't peaked in the Olympia stage yet.

Agree with most others here it has not been politics so far, Kai needs to improve his physical conditioning on game day and also his posing still has a significant techinical room for improvement. Until both of these are up to Olympia standards Kai will not be a real contender. PERIOD.

applause begging, once he masters that he win be unbeatable

[csommer83]

Probably because he sexed a grapefruit.

Kai could learn from Lionel Beyeke. If I had the time and access to all the video footage I would like to see if any major title has or will have been won this year without applause begging. Its more than just random chance.

[ROMMYromboid]

In a recent video clip Kai was saying he was working on his posing and the crowd interaction aspects, lets wait and see what improvements he brings.

[pm22]

I think he looks exceptionally well in this pic
