Be nice. It's slightly relevant.
So. Does anyone know? From coaching Kai, Evan and Victor to... Nobody? What happened?

I googled oscar Ardon and the very first post was an article about him. Apparently he was taking 50% of kais money **IF he placed. Kai didn't like this so he moved with goerge and thats who is prepping him this year. In the article Oscar went on to say that he told kai if at any point he didn't feel this was fair he could take less. Personally based on kais reactions to his last placing at the Mr.O, I think he is just looking to blame someone. I think it was ****ty of him to just drop Oscar like a bad habbit.

from what i understood the deal was oscar will do "everything" for kai for the prep and won't charge him for it ( buying foods/cooking food/supplements) and he just takes 50% of the winnings of the show
wether it is fair or not, i'm not sure, i'm sure kai saw it was fair even after winning 2x arnolds
Oscar still preps people, i think his biggest client is Keith William

Oscar is training some amateurs at the moment. One of his guys just won a state show a month or so ago. MD had an interview with him and his client, but I can't seem to find it.

50% is totally fair if it is true that he was not paid anything else and paid fo all of Kai's food and other expenses It's like a lawyer only getting coningency fees if he wins the case, or a CEO getting stock options. It ensures hat everyone's interests are aligned. That said, if Kai dint like the deal, he didn't have to agree to it. Really do to hi k Oscar can be blamed at all or he financial arrangement.

This 50% thing with Kai is probably only part of the reason why Kai left him.
I think Kai felt Oscar pushed him way too much in every possible way. Training, diet, drugs, etc.. maybe even philosophy.. which lead him to back problems, gut, bad conditioning, etc..
Kai was definitely over____(insert any word here)...
over trained
over feed
over thinking
over grown organs (??? lol)
and to be honest, Oscar was a master in bro science.. Smartest move for Kai ever

I miss Oscar/Kai. But it was probably a good decision. They share similar philosophical views but Oscar it seems tended to overtrain him, among other things.

Don't not bash Oscar guys. He brought Kai in "on" a whole lot of times.
Oscar worked with Kai for years before he became a pro (other than a brief period in 09 when Kai worked with Charles Glass). Really, any time Kai won a contest prior to 2011, we have Oscar to thank.We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.
