Kai Greene 4.5 weeks out

[JacqueAttack]

that beard...

[realistromeo]

Dat upper chest, dat split approaching Franco Columbo split chest thickness...ok maybe 2/3 there.

Kai is lookin great!

[buffmouse]

Don't think he's gonna win it based off recent pics but I hope he proves me wrong.

[andyboi]

He needs his mid section/lower to come in. Feathered lats is never his problem.

[buffmouse]

Imo why he lost last time was his arms, delts and traps being overshadowed by phils. I dont see enough improvement to give him the edge

kais arms are as big if not bigger.

he looks on point imo

[Animaul]

dat back symmetry

[BartPimpson]

Hard to tell but I think we might be getting another smaller-but-conditioned Kai.

It's a bad strategy, from where I'm standing. I think he should be showing up huge and massive, not trying to outcondition Phil (which, honestly, he's never managed to do). Kai at 90% conditioning and 100% mass is better than Kai at 90% mass and 95% conditioning.

At prejudging his arms looked better than Phil's. At the night show they flattened out.

[PEETcassidy]

He obviously looks incredible but like others have stated I don't see how a smaller even morr ripped Kai stands up to Phil. He loses his size advantage and actually looks smaller than phil on stage. And while his arms are probably taller at the bicep peak, overall Phils are far more massive. That combined with Phils legendary delts and I just don't see it happening for Kai.

Id love to see an improved version of the NY pro Kai go to town with Phil. That would be really really close.

On a side note looks like Kai has spent more time site injecting his delts this year. Look at his left delt in this photo. It has that shiney stretched out look we tend to see from oil usage. Obviously tgey all do it but i hope he doesn't go too far trying to bring up his weaknesses.

That thickness !

Really hope Kai wins at least one O in his career . What a legend

[lllDBOlll]

Damn Kimbo Slice got swole

Doesn't look a whole lot different from last year.

[DedicateD93]

He was supposedly 299 a week or two ago...Pretty sure he is still massive while being shredded and conditioning seems to be coming on point.

That's not how it works.

[PEETcassidy]

That's not how it works.

how does it work then? Not being snide, I genuinely don't have a clue about synthol etc. Just that delt has a similar look to other examples I've seen pointed out.

I'm a huge Kai fan btw. He'd probably be top 3 of all time if it wasn't for his traps and tiny forearms. I still believe he is one of the best ever tho and has done amazing with the genetics he was given.

It's a shame there seems to be NOTHING he can do for those forearms tho. When Phil is your main rival that is really hard to come back from.

[littlemike23]

Kais delts are underrated. Always have been. And his arms are better than phils in the majority of the poses, especially fdb and bdb, his arms are bigger than phils

[Virrhoe]

great beard, looks fukn alpha

[Wzn]

Farah still using his cellphone from 2002 to create drama?

Getting abit silly when the quality is crap after crap, and blurry after blurry.

[justinnnnn]

How on Earth are you people predicting the outcome already based off of pictures that were taken nearly 5 weeks out.

This


Lol

[jrhodez]

After going over pics over the year I've come to the conclusion it's the way Kai hits THIS specific pose, every shot of this pose left delt pops more then right delt.

Then every other pose he does they are symmetrical and evenly sized. You can see under his right arm in the second example pic how his lat doesn't seem to be fully flared out, therefore not pushing the rear and medial delt out as far as the left side.

someone message him on ********!

[jahaa]

Doesn't look a whole lot different from last year.

is it just me or does Phil almost look like a booblehead in that picture? lol.

[ikillsuckers]

is it just me or does Phil almost look like a booblehead in that picture? lol.

phils head always looks to big for his body and idk why cause his body is massive lol he must have a huge freaking head

[mormonpickett]

would be dope is jay, kai and phil all had beards. maybe ramy too

wait why does everyone think kai will be smaller

[T3mpest]

Guys he just came in flat last year, that's all. Go look at the Sheru pics, he still was as conditioned as Phil, but alot larger. He's not going to TRY and come in flat and if he comes in full, he should look better than last year if he's shredded.

[boyoboyo]

Way to many assumptions in this thread.

And on the subject of Kai being smaller but more ripped, please correct me if I'm wrong but he pushed Phil a hell of a lot harder last year than the bigger version of himself did in 2011.

To be fair in 2011 he didn't have much opportunity with the all mentor vs student bullsh!t. And phil looked much better in 2011 imo.

At the sheru though...

This. For YEARS Kai came into the O huge but lacking conditioning. Everyone said over and over "he needs to just let go of 10 lbs or so and come in ripped!" "when will we see a conditioned Kai at the O???" and so on and so on. Now he looks maybe a bit smaller than his biggest (bloatiest?) but still massive and ripped, so now people want to say "Kai needs to be bigger!! what the f--- is wrong with him!!" Fwiw I prefer the slightly smaller, leaner, more ripped version, even if it turns out that he's reached his mass limit for that look. just MO.
