Kai Greene, in my eyes, is the greatest bodybuilder of all time. It doesn't take a MR. O title to be the best. Kai has the whole package: Physique, Wisdom, Knowledge, Humble and Inspirational.
If there is ONE thing you need to understand when you're watching this, then that is what you see at 18:00, THAT'S what you want, no matter the exercise when you're training your chest, that type of contraction is the ONLY thing that is important, even if it means that you'll have to go from pressing 50+ kg dumbbells to 10 kg dumbbells and become the laughing stock at the gym, that's why you'll see the thinnest and flattest dudes in the gym press heavy weights and STILL have chests that are as flat as pancakes because they solely focus on the weight rather than on the movement and the contraction, if you want a thick chest then that is what you need to learn, I know this because I went through it as well, it took around 2-3 months for me to learn to contract my chest properly and now I can contract it no matter the weight and after having wasted quite a few years just pushing weights and having barely any chest muscles I finally have come to understand how it is done thanks to Kai Greene and have gotten quite a decent chest for a 90 kg dude.
You need a strength base to be doing these kind of isolation movement too see any benefit.If you can't squat 225+,deadlift 315 and bench 225lbs don't be messing around with pink dumbbells thinking you're kai greene or arnold .Don't forget these bodybuilders are immensely strong but they rather destroy the muscle with higher reps and lighter weights.Muscle size is always equal to strength .(injecting testosterone also helps)
Kai is seriously one of the greatest guys out there. Most humble person to ever be around. Don't know how much of Kai's past anybody knows but this is a man who grew up with no parents sleeping from park bench to park bench not fitting in with any group always moving from foster homes and living in a shit hole his whole life. Skipping school for the gym to finally everything paying off. Everythings finally made sense and came together. God bless you Kai.
Great Video! I'm 46 Yrs. Old, I've been Bodybuilding since I was 18, and even I have learned something from watching this. Kai knows what he's doing, and he's a good teacher. As for the kid he's training here; He just doesn't seem Hungry enough.
7drakkar1 the people they put in videos with Kai are never hungry at all and it ruins the video. Kai is so knowledgeable and these guys don’t even really listen to him. So many bodybuilders are too caught up in their egos now
This is exacly what happens when you're an artis, you can bench many kilos but when you're trying to train chest it's like ooops i need to lower the weight and now i feel the chest propertly... just full ROM and mind-muscle connection, super material, thanks.
Hell yea! This video is exactly what i needed to see...instruction on how to execute dumbell pullover with the pecs. Last time i did these my lats were sore.
Wow, im new to building . Been watching the wrong guys. This guy's wisdom is priceless and amazing. Thankyou for a great video . I learned alot and will definately drop the weight im lifting. Back to the basics for me.
The last comment seems to be like 3 years ago , i wanna thank Mr. Mike Pulcinella for uploading these videos , i have learned a lot from kai , that guy there training WITH him cant relate to kai's words as much as i can , same with rich piana's words , god rest his soul....first time i watched these train with kai videos , i was a 17 year old kid , now im 22 , not a proper bodybuilder , but boy do i have a physique , plus i do it all with light weight, the max i can do dumbbell press is 35 kg each arm , i have never suffered an injury and im not kidding , the way my muscles grew as i trained after listening to kais words each day every day , its phenomenal .....anybody reading this , learn , absorb his words , try this out in the gym , take some light weights and just feel your muscles contract and expand , feel the burn and then let me see you do that with a 15 kg dumbbell with a straight face....
He’s using light weight for everything but lifting with mind to muscle connection isn’t the same as regular lifting. If you go in and focus on contractions from one muscle group it’s really tough
Thats because Kai Greene also uses extremely heavy weights. RUclips "Kai Greene Overhead Press 405" Click the first video that pops up and tell me light weights are why Kai Greene is huge
There’s a difference between going heavy and light man and going light definitely helps Kai Greene control the heavy motion, in fact if he never went light, he would plateau at much lighter weight when he goes heavy.
Kai greene is right about range of motion when going down, but you don't have to go all the way up... the last little bit is engaging the triceps more than the chest... now if you go all the way down and 75% of the way up and back down... there will be 100% tension on your chest throughout the entire lift/set, whereas going all the way up releases tension on your chest and puts more on the triceps... Bodybuilding is about isolation, not RoM.
hes 19 his mind could be in a million and one places thing is .. hes doing it and thats what matters most @ 19 hes in a good place so i wouldent say he dosent want it bad enouf..just that hes naive to what it takes to reach what kai's talking about
This wasn't Kai's most wise and ego-less time. In fact, this may have been his most egoistic times. It often happens for those who "seek enlightenment" or those who want to appear wise that their egos will first surface and be strong. Thus Kai is kind of discouraging to this guy. Kai is being critical in spirit even if you think it's "constructive criticism". However Kai's own ego is there. Kai did get his ego dealt with in the end though...Phil Heath. You'll notice that Kai Greene is far more positive now than he was before. Wisdom requires true humility. Kai needed to be humbled to obtain true wisdom. And in the end, Kai got that true wisdom...which is far greater than being a Mr. O
This is such a misunderstood concept atleast to me and everyone around me fuck man but I'm think I'm starting to get it. Kainis amazing and most ppl rlly aren't explaining this well
Sure you can lift the same weight as Kai but do you look like Kai? Thats what matters to bodybuilders 😂 I don't give a shit how much is on a bar as long as I'm hitting the correct muscle and bringing that muscle to failure with a progressive overload weather that be wirh slower tempo, higher reps or slight increases in LBS I'm happy. Also it's super humbling training with someone who is really intune with training and doing stuff correctly. They'll destroy you with some low weight.
This is bodybuilding, fuck lifting 300-350 lb bench and a shit chest, good to see a light weight and proper form and contraction, coming first. At the end of the day it's about building a muscle and not building strength.

I love his wisdom and the passion he shows when explaining an exercise and how that part of the body should be affected. Kai greene is the best!

@Ze TheGame Why is it that in these videos the exercises are 4 sets of 15-20 reps? I thought heavy weight is what builds muscle?

Sasq forg true. The isolation movements with the pink dumbbells only work when you have been busting your ass with big weights for years before that
@@Insaniya.humanity what? No they dont. You dont need big compound strength to make gains via iso mvmnts
@@gcg8187 It is however more beneficial to do compound lifts when you start training, instead of iso movements.
The best train with kei video, the guy was there to absorb the information from kei which makes this video informative for me

Im not a Bodybuilder, but Kai Greene is a good advertising for Bodybuilding. He shows the soul of this sport.
this needs more views. The part about the memory retension with the photos is something i'll never forget
Man, I´m not that much into bodybuilding but that guy is amazing. Such a humble and great guy. Wow.
Kai might be a God
best bodybuilder in the world.. his words are absolutely priceless
Kai Greene for president. He never fails to inspire me all over again after all these years. Love the man
Basically what kai is saying, is that the ego is the reason why you are not gaining muscles. lower the weight and feel the exercise
Lol
Great Video! I'm 46 Yrs. Old, I've been Bodybuilding since I was 18, and even I have learned something from watching this. Kai knows what he's doing, and he's a good teacher. As for the kid he's training here; He just doesn't seem Hungry enough.

I always though Kai Greene achieved what he acieved because he works hard but now it is also because he is extremely wised. This guy is a legend!!!!!!
This is why i love Kai
This is exacly what happens when you're an artis, you can bench many kilos but when you're trying to train chest it's like ooops i need to lower the weight and now i feel the chest propertly... just full ROM and mind-muscle connection, super material, thanks.
Kai Will be good trainer like Charles some day
Hell yea! This video is exactly what i needed to see...instruction on how to execute dumbell pullover with the pecs. Last time i did these my lats were sore.
Watching in 2022 after years just to refresh my memory. Kai is fucking King 👑❤ and living legend
Kai is an amazing motivational speaker and a great bodybuilder.
kai is incredibly smart, nice person ! love his videos i´ve learned a lot from him...
So inspirational; especially the last segment!
Love Kai
This guy provides more value in a 48 minute FREE video than any £2,000 PT ever could.
I always come back to this video to remind myself about this 05:46
Kai is the man. Puts all the BS aside and focuses on form and results.
you are my mentor and i follow your routine of training to do my everyday training.....i have changed my body
Wow, im new to building . Been watching the wrong guys. This guy's wisdom is priceless and amazing. Thankyou for a great video . I learned alot and will definately drop the weight im lifting. Back to the basics for me.
Couldnt agree more!

Dude looks up to kai greene.. When the wise speaks the intelligent listens. Great video 👍🏻
You're able to what you need to do when you say you're gonna do it....
Kai is a very wise man..!!! and strong as hell too!!
Kai Greene is a great bodybuilder, he is a great man as well !
Kai was doing the most here. Just simple feel the muscle and move the weight
Kai loves his 15-20 reps of 4 sets!!
moving in a arc was a new idea for me, ill put that to use soon
Kai is a genius in Body Mechanics.
Thats because Kai Greene also uses extremely heavy weights. RUclips "Kai Greene Overhead Press 405"
Click the first video that pops up and tell me light weights are why Kai Greene is huge
Or the other chest workout video where he's incline benching 500.
There’s a difference between going heavy and light man and going light definitely helps Kai Greene control the heavy motion, in fact if he never went light, he would plateau at much lighter weight when he goes heavy.
Watch that video, he didn’t do one rep without a spot
Thanks for uploading this video. It's so much easier to watch this on RUclips than stankin' FLEXOnline!
what a master .... great guy. Train with ur head not with ur ego
thanks for uploading this. very inspirational
Champ is a greatest coach n one of amazing bodybuilder of the world! Hell ya!
This is bodybuilding. Just starting to understand what he is saying after 11 years of lifting. No heavy weights
Lucky boy hope i can get this opportunity
I start to love this guy
I KNOW!! He actually competes, look at how he does flys, like he's pressing. Good thing the guy has genetics on his side.
Kai be the man..
Lol, "The bitch starts oozing out of them..." I'll have to remember that one and use it!
haha im squeezing my chest muscles on every rep on that incline press just watching this lol
kai greene for president !
Thoughts become things.
Kai greene is right about range of motion when going down, but you don't have to go all the way up... the last little bit is engaging the triceps more than the chest... now if you go all the way down and 75% of the way up and back down... there will be 100% tension on your chest throughout the entire lift/set, whereas going all the way up releases tension on your chest and puts more on the triceps... Bodybuilding is about isolation, not RoM.
Sweeeet!! a new vid of the 2013 mr O :P
kai is a bodybuilding genious
Steroids or not, his advice still applies to nattys
Hence they say its just not about the steroids
It's only the second excercise and dude was already fatigued..... Kai put him to work. Lol
Don’t ever ask him how his day
Great advisor wow
hes 19 his mind could be in a million and one places thing is .. hes doing it and thats what matters most @ 19 hes in a good place so i wouldent say he dosent want it bad enouf..just that hes naive to what it takes to reach what kai's talking about
its very difficult to detach from ego when doing chest exercises.. i tend to lose about 50-100lbs off my max when i focus on the squeeze.
This is so true man. Ive trained for years in the past making 0 gains, its one of the hardest muscles to master.
Does Kai use as high reps during off season?
This wasn't Kai's most wise and ego-less time. In fact, this may have been his most egoistic times.

excellent video. i would luv an opportunity to train wit a pro like Kai
27:40 man those words
Lasto song name??
It's just perfect with Kai's words.
glad i have that book :)
ending music starts.. motivational speech starts.. pants need changing
someone post the emotional posing scene by itself so i can mp3 it to my bodybuilding album please :)
that dude is petrified guyz!!!!!!
"I`m willing to do all or nothing"...it has a bad taste when you think about taking steroids cause this is really what you have to do to go pro!
Well that's what it takes. It's a fight. fair and unfair doesnt apply to a fight. You either win or lose.
kai will be mr olympia 2013!!!!!
he is tha shit, he doesnt even take those sups. just
to drink them..
His methodology hasnt always been for everybody. These videos of him mentoring people, they never seem to get what hes preaching
Kai is the best,,,,
Hell yeah!
This is such a misunderstood concept atleast to me and everyone around me fuck man but I'm think I'm starting to get it. Kainis amazing and most ppl rlly aren't explaining this well
wheres this dude at now?
Respect !!!
damn Kai makes you think
Pull overs i always thought more fornlats
Bro this dude training with kai can’t even do flys properly. He can bless his lucky ass genetics.
Or he couldve been over thinking like most gym goers would be if they met Kai.
That's because his muscles were all stressed out already.
Sure you can lift the same weight as Kai but do you look like Kai? Thats what matters to bodybuilders 😂 I don't give a shit how much is on a bar as long as I'm hitting the correct muscle and bringing that muscle to failure with a progressive overload weather that be wirh slower tempo, higher reps or slight increases in LBS I'm happy.

Wonder how Rick is doing nowadays
I hate all these spam comments. No one is gonna buy your bullshit products.

Words!
kai i want to workout with you one day and do chest and triceps
