hot weather heat wave uk one of the  hottest days of the  year today at over 30c with temperatures only set to cool down by the weekend, well worth getting out in the sun if you can and enjoying the beautiful sunshine, while it lasts, though there is  said to be more heatwaves on the way this  year, the hotter the better, though a lot of people are complaining  that it is too hot, i think it is better  then being cold.

hawaii volcanic eruption news kilauea

hawaii volcanic eruption news kilauea, though the volcanic eruption is not headline news anymore, or  even for the  last few weeks, as of yesterday there  was more earthquake like eruptions at kilauea, and the lava continues to flow, not really showing any signs of stopping either, this story should still be getting more news coverage imo, as you never know where these types of events  can lead to, mother nature types of events like this are very unpredictable, so i am checking for news each day on the volcano as eruptions keep happening.

Kai Greene Bodybuilder

00:00
professional athletes are in many ways
00:02
our culture's holy men they give
00:05
themselves over to a pursuit endure
00:08
great privation and pain to actualize
00:10
themselves at it and enjoy a
00:12
relationship to perfection that we
00:14
admire reward and love to watch even
00:17
though we have no desire to walk that
00:19
road ourselves in other words they do it
00:23
for us sacrifice themselves for our we
00:27
imagine Redemption David Foster Wallace
00:34
what is a day in the life of a
00:36
bodybuilder really like since 2004 I
00:41
have been attempting to strip away the
00:42
hype and misinformation to reveal the
00:45
gritty day-to-day existence of those who
00:47
participate in this most demanding of
00:49
sports I have been fascinated by the
00:52
extreme devotion and dedication that
00:54
bodybuilders must have in order to excel
00:58
in my documentaries I have strived to
01:01
find subjects who exemplifying the true
01:03
nature of the sport can articulate their
01:06
thoughts about it and are brave enough
01:08
to show the world that difficulties as
01:09
well as the triumphs no one fits that
01:13
bill better than Kai Green for this
01:16
video series an accompanying magazine
01:18
article a still photographer and I
01:20
followed Kai through his daily routine
01:22
for several days to show as much as
01:25
possible what life is like not only for
01:27
the professional bodybuilder at the top
01:29
of his game but also for the beginner
01:31
the amateur and frankly for anyone who
01:34
wants to succeed in transforming their
01:36
body and pushing it beyond its natural
01:38
limits
01:40
in the beginning over the years I never
01:43
spent a tremendous amount of time
01:44
sorting out my new shit details like
01:48
sodium those details that come later on
01:53
those start moments that fill the
01:55
highlight reels and you know leave an
01:58
audience in are the watch those seconds
02:02
are built on thousands and thousands and
02:04
thousands of hours that a lot of people
02:07
wouldn't think are worth adding to a
02:09
highlight reel this is a day in the life
02:15
of a bodybuilder
02:27
hey what's your day like it's not very
02:30
interesting you consider these only
02:33
piece of cardio equipment for two hours
02:35
a day spends another hour or two cooking
02:38
you know practice food another two hours
02:41
in commute to and from your gym oh damn
02:44
if you train twice a day or three how
02:47
does that start to look
02:57
a lot of times these the day in the life
03:01
of opportunities bring a lot of anxiety
03:04
for me because there's a lot of
03:07
expectation a lot of times of what
03:10
you're supposed to be this accomplished
03:11
celebrated bodybuilder and you know why
03:16
don't you have what Jay has why don't
03:18
you you know live like he'll he does why
03:20
while you were a hoodie old fucking time
03:22
you know what's that thing on your face
03:24
you know we were you know where are you
03:27
from
03:28
you know and then in order to try to
03:31
explain that you almost end up looking
03:33
like you're coming from another planet
03:36
kai green is unique among today's stars
03:40
of bodybuilding he rejects the usual
03:42
trappings of success and prefers to live
03:44
simply still living and working in the
03:46
downtrodden Brooklyn neighborhood he has
03:48
known for most of his life when flex
03:51
magazine proposed this day in the life
03:53
video series kind was adamant about not
03:56
concentrating on the flash and rewards
03:58
of the sport which can be elusive and
04:00
few foremost but rather on the daily
04:03
existence that got him to this place if
04:06
the world only got a chance to see you
04:09
on stage receiving top honors before
04:13
they get a chance to see this or you
04:16
sleeping on someone's couch just
04:19
scraping pennies together so you could
04:21
afford to train 6 hours a day to bounce
04:24
and gig some stripping hustle or
04:27
something like that it becomes very
04:29
difficult to really understand
04:33
moment of triumph when it comes in these
04:36
videos you won't be seeing any fancy
04:38
sports cars or marbling chrome kitchens
04:40
no personal deep tissue massage or
04:43
highly paid nutritionist instead you
04:46
will see what has been a day in the life
04:48
for Kai Greene for 20 years and to a
04:50
certain extent still is and it all
04:53
starts here in a rundown dollar store on
04:56
Flatbush Avenue a critical tool getting
05:01
ahead in his game preparation is poker
05:07
where it is critical to get up in the
05:13
morning early or go to bed a little bit
05:17
later at night cook you from back good
05:22
man hack a lot of bodybuilders go off
05:27
track right here so what I'm going to do
05:31
today is show you this is how it's done
05:35
so you get yourself in trouble
05:37
I don't have to be very flashy
05:48
even though Kai's success has enabled
05:51
him to move into a townhouse in a nicer
05:53
area nearby he instead takes us back to
05:56
the apartment in the projects that he
05:57
still keeps strewn with the remnants of
06:03
the recent move and cluttered with his
06:05
artwork and bodybuilding mementos
06:06
this was Kai's home base for many years
06:09
as he struggled to survive first thing I
06:14
would do for years you get up in the
06:17
morning and follow some basic
06:20
disciplines that just end up becoming
06:23
habit as a result in becoming a habit
06:27
you end up feeling like your day isn't
06:29
complete without doing these things in
06:35
the beginning over the years I never
06:37
spent a tremendous amount of time
06:39
sorting out my new shoe details like so
06:46
do you know have details that come later
06:49
on is it 10 grams of protein more or 10
06:53
grams of protein less okay just get
06:57
started I can take a bag of the frozen
07:00
vegetable it can be string beans
07:03
broccoli throw in the microwave as Kai
07:10
expounds on the fundamentals of
07:12
bodybuilding the temperature and that
07:14
cramped kitchen keeps rising and rising
07:16
by my estimate after 20 minutes it's at
07:20
least 120 degrees in there I and my
07:22
light t-shirt am soon drenched in sweat
07:25
it Chi and his hoodie and knit cap seems
07:27
unfazed by the sauna why you running the
07:31
other burners
07:32
as to work today water wait I'm very
07:38
comfortable in a very warm very warm
07:41
environment I used to be in here doing
07:44
cardio with the oven on my sweet
07:48
potatoes cooking all the partners on a
07:50
stove or place so hot think the devil
07:54
was sitting over there talking to you I
07:55
do really want to do this cardio sweat
08:02
just pouring audience would never see
08:06
that they'll see you on stage the day of
08:09
the competition though and see you you
08:11
know receiving top honors and then say I
08:14
want to do that I want to be that guy
08:18
and that's why I think is so important
08:21
to show this like this because when I
08:24
grew up in and I grew up and I looked at
08:25
the magazines in our soil stuff I saw
08:27
the Sun let the celebrated athletes of
08:30
the day with the big contracts and I saw
08:35
that I saw them in these nice kitchens
08:38
you know able to cook each meal fresh in
08:44
their more comfortable relaxed calm kind
08:50
of explain these things to the camera
08:54
and I grew up thinking that that that
08:59
picture was was was the picture and I
09:04
always wanted that picture but I
09:05
recognize that now being on the other
09:08
side of that wow you know this is the
09:11
work though that will produce the
09:14
desired end result it's you know being
09:17
able climbing the trenches now when it's
09:20
not convenient it's not comfortable when
09:22
the kitchen isn't very beautiful yet you
09:24
know but recognizing that it's very very
09:28
important to get these meals and have
09:29
them with you once you cook these meals
09:32
and pack them up now when you leave the
09:34
house you have now eliminated the
09:36
possibility of being stuck without your
09:39
meal
09:39
and having to go to three for six hours
09:45
before eating again there's a certain
09:49
amount of work that we really do have to
09:51
take on ourselves and not expect for
09:56
someone to do for you the best coaches
09:59
the best supplement company like muscle
10:04
meds the best product you can ever have
10:07
available to you will be of little
10:10
resource to you if you're not able to do
10:14
it work is required of you when it's
10:17
time to do it
10:20
struggle some broccoli here three ounces
10:24
there only takes about two or three
10:28
minutes in the microwave you're just
10:30
you're cold vegetables you know they can
10:33
be string beans they can be asparagus
10:36
broccoli and put another four ounces of
10:39
chicken breasts in here with this I can
10:44
add 1/2 of sweet potato sweet potato I
10:47
can have in even the oven now bacon or I
10:50
can have in my microwave for nine
10:52
minutes I can put four sweet potato in
10:54
the microwave give them nine minutes
10:58
depending on how big they are but we
11:00
don't have to get lost in my new show
11:02
real life real you know in the trenches
11:05
bodybuilding means that you have to be
11:07
inventive you have to be a problem
11:11
solver you have to be able to
11:12
troubleshoot you know because at the end
11:16
of the day it's your responsibility to
11:18
stay on on target with your goal your
11:21
goals your dreams are important to you
11:23
your mother may love you but she doesn't
11:25
care whether or not your arms are 24
11:27
inches she's still going to love you
11:29
well maybe most mom's but you know but
11:35
your dream of having your arms 20 over
11:36
20 inches is your dream so what's up to
11:40
you to cultivate that to protect it to
11:42
nurture it so it's your responsibility
11:44
to come up with ways to find out how you
11:47
can eat every two and a half hours
11:50
without incident
11:52
all the beginners all the real you know
11:54
fledgling amateurs that have grand grand
11:58
expectations of where they like to go in
12:00
the sport man you got to develop your
12:03
tools you got to develop the use and
12:05
awareness of your of your instrument you
12:07
got to develop these skills here I'm not
12:11
talking about focusing on how many grams
12:13
of protein as much as I'm how many grams
12:16
of carbs or how many grams what I'm how
12:19
many grams of fat what I'm focusing on
12:21
here though is the development of
12:23
character which comes which speaks to
12:26
your ability to follow through and start
12:29
to string together days of efficient
12:31
action from the very basic level in
12:34
order to be able to have your food with
12:37
you every day all day so you are able to
12:40
eat on time keeps even allows you to
12:43
stay in an anabolic state now now you
12:45
start talking about the things that
12:46
scientifically can be can support
12:49
cellular growth lean muscular muscle
12:51
repair but if you are still working
12:54
without the strength of character yet
12:58
without the ability to follow through
13:00
then all that complex conversation about
13:04
those Sciences will be very very little
13:08
with nothing to you if you still are not
13:11
able to get up cook your meals pack them
13:15
have them with you and follow through
13:18
with eating them every two and a half to
13:20
three hours and it was these tools that
13:23
allowed me to turn around and be ready
13:26
when the next level of my help came when
13:31
when the next mentorship that will come
13:35
along and say hey look Wow you know you
13:38
got some real talent I want to invest in
13:40
you I put some time in in helping you
13:41
call to Vegas they didn't come because
13:43
you were just walking around aimlessly
13:47
looking for someone to help you this
13:50
work you got to do on your own and you
13:52
got to be willing to to bust your ass
13:54
and get it done not have the excuses
13:57
about well I can't because I'm I don't
13:59
know how to cook or I can't because I
14:01
don't I'm not a nutritionist I got a I
14:03
got a work wait till I can
14:05
you've got money to pay a nutritionist
14:07
and then I'll turn pro no you do the
14:10
things that you can do to the best of
14:13
your ability but I'm just saying this if
14:17
you got big dreams and you want to do
14:20
something really big something that's
14:21
going to demand your best and all of
14:23
that stuff and you're expecting to work
14:26
with you know some of the giant names in
14:29
the bodybuilding industry hey I got big
14:32
dreams I want to be mr. Olympia one day
14:34
I want to compete in the Arnold Classic
14:36
you know what I'll start and uh I'll
14:40
just go get one of the big names like
14:42
George Pharaoh or Han Iran by Chad
14:47
Nichols I'll get Dave Palumbo one of
14:50
those guys to to help me out through my
14:52
diet and life will life will be great
14:55
after that Charles glass they'll make me
15:01
a champion you got a set then coming the
15:06
the idea of developing yourself in
15:09
gaining mastery of these skills you know
15:13
your discipline time management you know
15:20
those things are critical
15:22
without those in place even even the
15:27
great supplement company get the great
15:29
powerful supplement will be of little
15:33
support to you without some basic
15:35
fundamentals that are required of you to
15:38
already have possession that's the truth
15:41
no one should have to stand over you all
15:43
day did you eat what time's your next
15:45
meal hey man are you on top of your
15:47
schedule are you staying true to your
15:49
your path there's at the end of the day
15:53
it's just not that important to
15:55
everybody else and if it's more
15:57
important to other people than it is you
15:59
then there's a large part of your better
16:01
potential that will not be attempt now
16:05
funny thing about Tupperware even if you
16:07
get like really expensive Tupperware one
16:09
thing that I've learned is it always
16:10
give it enough time it will always leak
16:14
something will happen whether it's the
16:16
heat in
16:17
the bag the jolting your bag got bumped
16:20
when you put it in the trunk of your car
16:21
the thing got tipped upside down the
16:23
homeless man kicked you and knocked all
16:26
over the flat form on the train the
16:27
possibility is very large that it will
16:29
always open so um I put my stuff in
16:34
garbage bags tie my foot up in the
16:36
garbage bag before putting it in on my
16:39
bag one it'll help you be able to save a
16:43
lot of the food bags you got I don't
16:46
know if you've never done this before
16:47
what happens is with a full bag food
16:50
spills in them sometimes condensation
16:52
for an inside of the bag they'll produce
16:55
mold and they fall apart it can become
16:57
very not nice in there particularly if
17:00
you're not putting your stuff in garbage
17:02
bags and plastic bag and trying to
17:04
reinforce them to stop the seepage
17:06
because eventually stuff just does see
17:09
even the really really really good
17:11
tougher work armed with his nutrition
17:15
for the day we head out when I was a kid
17:18
they used to tell you how to get in the
17:20
elevator when you get on the elevator
17:24
and we're not to get on the elevator you
17:27
know some people you know suppose get on
17:29
the elevator with you know so you need
17:31
to velop very quick very good sense of
17:34
judgement and character look up I'll
17:38
wait for the next one but I look getting
17:41
elevated I look across and I see the
17:43
image that I've grown into that would
17:45
have been the image as a boy I would
17:47
have been told not to get on the
17:48
elevator because now you're growing up
17:51
and you're you see these changes
17:54
physically in the mirror every day and
17:56
at some point you know you you have to
17:59
know that the very thing that you've
18:02
been taught to be afraid of to have
18:05
disdain for you've now grown into you
18:08
look like despite his intimidating look
18:11
on these streets this gentle Hulk of a
18:13
man with his trademark red hoodie is a
18:15
familiar sight and he can't walk very
18:17
far without being greeted by a fan
18:19
or a friend
18:21
your master now you getting it you're
18:23
getting it done good dude
18:25
all right up as we drive to our next
18:30
stop we are reminded of an important
18:32

18:34

feels amazing and I encourage anyone
21:08
anyone out there who ever had an idea
21:12
thought about something that they'd like
21:14
to accomplish they'd like to but it but
21:16
they know it would demand the best of
21:19
the efforts and the most of their
21:21
concentration and everything that they
21:23
had inside of them in order to get there
21:25
make it happen I encourage you to do it
21:28
and when you do then you'll know exactly
21:31
how I feel it would be tempting for a
21:39
bodybuilder of KY stature to think that
21:41
he has arrived
21:42
and that he has learned all he needs to
21:44
know about his sport it's easy to let
21:46
the accolades and the glare of the
21:48
spotlight cause you to forget the work
21:50
that has gotten you here and the work
21:52
that yet needs to be done
21:53
kai knows better those star moments that
21:57
you know fill the highlight reels and
21:59
you know leave an audience in awe the
22:02
watch
22:02
oh wow play that again I want to see
22:04
that those seconds are built on
22:06
thousands and thousands and thousands of
22:08
hours that a lot of people wouldn't
22:12
think of worth you know adding to a
22:14
highlight reel basic fundamentals being
22:21
applied over and over
22:24
and over again getting up a certain time
22:27
doing certain things cooking your meals
22:30
going to you know do your cardio walking
22:34
through the disciplines keeping the
22:36
checklist and staying on top of those
22:40
are the things that you know you string
22:44
them together start to create a day of
22:46
efficient action more likely you are to
22:48
string those days or fish and action
22:50
together but more likely it will be that
22:52
you can set up your own success so far
22:57
in this day in the life Kai has done his
22:59
cardio early in the morning shop for
23:02
food cooked and pacted these are the
23:06
building blocks of any successful
23:07
bodybuilders daily routine and cannot be
23:10
skipped over or ignored these
23:12
fundamentals seem simple and KY can
23:15
sound repetitive when asked to talk
23:16
about it but it is this relentless
23:18
repetitive simplicity which is the
23:20
foundation of bodybuilding and can
23:22
sometimes be its most difficult aspect
23:26
some of kinds duties that are not a part
23:29
of the lives of most practicing
23:30
bodybuilders at the amateur level are
23:32
the obligations to his various sponsored
23:35
personal appearances guests posing
23:39
photo and video shoots like this one for
23:42
the train with chi instructional series
23:44
of all things that can interrupt the
23:46
schedule of day-to-day activity and yet
23:49
despite all of this those fundamentals
23:52
of bodybuilding must continue to take
23:54
precedence one of those fundamentals is
23:57
posing which brings us here to a
23:59
Saturday afternoon closing class they
24:01
greet attends once a week though this is
24:04
not a daily thing Chi feels that it is
24:06
an indispensable part of his weekly
24:08
routine everything tight good relax
24:11
catch this out take a deep breath to me
24:15
poison is the end of all the hard work
24:18
and all the dieting and everything it is
24:21
the you walk that you do to get your
24:26
degree I look at it like this you're in
24:30
school training every day and it's cool
24:33
you're doing your work no you go to the
24:35
show that's a graduation ceremony your
24:38
poison is your walk to get your diploma
24:40
right close to your body right hold
24:43
tight hold tight lock it pull it down
24:47
and set it let's go right all the way
24:51
down again set it hit it come on
24:53
even as a teenager Kyle was an excellent
24:56
poser breaking new ground by
24:58
incorporating hip-hop balloons into his
25:00
routine in 2007 Chi exploded onto the
25:04
scene with his now famous Dirty Diana
25:06
routine and has since taken posing in a
25:08
new direction
25:09
some people love it some people hate it
25:12
but no one can deny that Chi is anything
25:15
but an expert and yet he humbles himself
25:17
once a week and continues to learn from
25:20
his original teacher oh well put it back
25:23
to me every now and then you need a
25:26
tweak see bodybuilding is subjective a
25:29
good body builder or a great body
25:32
builder but always look for what he can
25:35
improve on nobody's perfect you can
25:37
always learn a little something you
25:39
might forget something and somebody can
25:42
see somebody forget a table of hey you
25:44
forget how to hit this you got to do it
25:46

25:48

important to hear to tighten them up
26:33
squeeze the whole time for tonight
26:35
good relax stand up thank you though Chi
26:40
is naturally a shy person he
26:42
nevertheless spends some time as the
26:44
center of attention once the session is
26:45
over he's used to it of course but he's
26:48
always sure to maintain his eating
26:50
schedule the next stop in our day in the
26:54
life is the gym as we drive the
26:58
exhaustion of the bodybuilding lifestyle
27:00
begins to show and Kai quietly nods off
27:03
it's got to be tough moving 275 or more
27:06
pounds of muscle around all day and it's
27:09
not over yet kai is very fortunate that
27:12
by this point in his career he can pick
27:15
and choose where he trains most days he
27:18
works out at the mecca of bodybuilding
27:19
on the East Coast
27:20
powerhouse gym run by husband-and-wife
27:24
bodybuilding legends Bev Francis and
27:26
Steve Weinberger at powerhouse Jim you
27:28
can never be sure which star of the
27:30
sport you may run into and fans of Chi
27:33
know that he is always willing to take
27:34
some time to say hello or take a picture
27:37
this gym has been the location of many
27:40
now famous video and photo shoots over
27:42
the years chances are if the photos in a
27:45
bodybuilding or fitness magazine article
27:47
were shot on the East Coast they were
27:49
shot here although those kinds of
27:52
pictures are beautiful and inspirational
27:53
and an example of the best that
27:55
bodybuilding has to offer
27:57
they don't really reflect what life is
27:59
like in the gym every day for
28:01
like hi green for one thing he would
28:05
never train shirtless and in fact only
28:07
reveals himself when urged to by a
28:09
photographer he always remains covered
28:12
up and does not practice posing in the
28:14
open areas of the gym many theories have
28:18
been advanced to explain the reasons for
28:19
Kai's ever-present hoodie but it's
28:22
really very simple and practical
28:24
thermogenesis that's my secret
28:27
I just feel comfortable I do sweat a lot
28:32
though so it's a little bit more
28:35
convenient and a t-shirt if I had a
28:37
t-shirt on I had all over the place I'd
28:40
have to be wiping stuff down I mean the
28:43
hoodie is more absorbent on this
28:45
particular day in the life Chi begins
28:47
his gym session not with cardio but with
28:49
a 12-minute warm-up for mind and body
28:51
he then performs a long and careful
28:54
abdominal and stretching routine his
28:56
focus during this time is so strong that
28:58
the photographer and I dare not
29:00
interrupt him beginning with the
29:03
documentary overkill I have made the
29:04
observation many times that Kai seems
29:07
like a monk he lives a sparse ascetic
29:10
existence by modern standards his deep
29:12
philosophizing the extreme dedication to
29:15
his goals his discomfort in the
29:17
spotlight and the ever-present hood all
29:19
add up to give him the aura of the holy
29:22
man of bodybuilding I'm not sure he sees
29:24
himself that way but it's hard not to
29:26
make the comparison especially today you
29:29
ever see like people chanting a Buddhist
29:32
doing things with their breathing and
29:35
using their breath to start to alters
29:37
their mind state and show on some level
29:41
in some way
29:43
it's simple 12 minutes or so before I
29:46
get started on the floor training this
29:49
moment allows me the ability to kind of
29:54
walk through some exercise like that
29:57
you're regulating your breathing by
30:00
using it as a device to be able to
30:02
suspend those thoughts for other things
30:04
to try to get focused on what I'm about
30:06
to do get done and then try to keep
30:11
moving with the continuum of my day as
30:14
with the posing class it is this kind of
30:17
meticulous attention to detail that
30:19
creates a champion but Chi greens life
30:21
and mindset were not only so controlled
30:24
and structured earlier in the day we
30:26
stopped at a diner
30:27
kai ate his prepared food of course and
30:30
he explained to us how bodybuilding
30:32
provided a very necessary catharsis for
30:35
a young man in a bad situation
30:36
everything else was a mess outside into
30:41
my life ISM was a mess socially inept
30:47
did not fit in and I feel like you fit
30:50
in and good management getting into
30:54
fights raging against Authority not
30:57
developing cultivating relationships
30:58
very well insecure just a whole lot of
31:02
things going on but and the gym
31:07
all those things that were a weakness
31:08
were strength to me I was able to summon
31:12
a tremendous amount of intense energy
31:20
just
31:22
and be intense to allow myself to be
31:24
intense about something like those other
31:27
times we ready explode and be angry and
31:29
violent ah take it kept bottle it up now
31:35
bring it into the gym millions moment
31:37
and please under under the weight I
31:43
think about being strong think about
31:46
dominating thing about overcoming and as
31:48
you're thinking that you want to act it
31:53
out just what happens why you're acting
31:56
it out though you're underneath that
31:57
same weight that would have crushed you
31:59
if you were thinking those weak thoughts
32:01
this thing is going question and then
32:05
another minds that maybe it would have
32:08
but you know no mind said just being
32:14
relaxed it's the date without fight yeah
32:17
he's drunk rushing but I bought me you
32:21
already exploded ticket you can bottle
32:22
it up went to the gym but you know
32:25
underneath the squat right all right in
32:27
the bench press under the iron okay and
32:30
release oh man isn't you're channeling
32:36
anger face it every tool will help you
32:40
get we trying to go once you are clear
32:43
about where you want to go the picture
32:48
that kite paints of his young self
32:49
contrasts greatly with the steady and
32:51
thoughtful Chi we see today but I get
32:54
the feeling that he wants to spread the
32:55
word to other young people about the
32:57
benefits not only of weight training but
33:00
of mind training as well that's critical
33:03
thinking skills that you're going to
33:04
need
33:05
more refined and developed as a man 10
33:08
15 years down the line in way you do not
33:10
see rightly another reality of the
33:13
bodybuilding day in the life is that
33:15
every day is not always a heavy day
33:17
today Kai concentrates on what are
33:19
called the finishing exercises in this
33:22
case the calves and forearms this is
33:25
necessary in order to create and perfect
33:27
a balanced overall look
33:33
other days KY lifts heavier and in our
33:37
final segment we will see a KY green leg
33:39
workout that for me redefined the word
33:41
hardcore it doesn't matter where you're
33:47
at at the time that you dare to dream
33:50
and it doesn't matter wings boom now six
33:55
let's go
33:56
just keep dreaming keep poking hi-yah
34:01
ten five and the better picture that
34:05
they're looking to create for yourself
34:07
it can be a tank
34:59
you
35:13
I grew up as a kid by looking to the
35:17
stars
35:18
not necessarily did I understand that
35:21
that information was going through a
35:23
filter when I see the photos all I see
35:27
is these photos believing that this is
35:30
my opportunity to look over the shoulder
35:32
of the star you know in the trenches and
35:35
see what they do not realizing that this
35:39
is now already gone through a filter and
35:41
the filter has been touched by the
35:45
expectation or the highly idealized
35:49
vision of what an editor or a person
35:53
who've been delegated the responsibility
35:55
to get the great photo and have the
35:58
great shoot thought would be important
36:00
and realize how that influences what I
36:02
saw you know it's the great photo shoot
36:05
and the great photos in their mind was
36:09
represented by hoisting these huge
36:11
poundage 'as looking incredibly veiny
36:14
and and and you know over-the-top
36:16
exaggerated muscular in great condition
36:19
the message I got was that they look
36:21
like this all year round and this is
36:23
what it looks like in the trenches when
36:25
he goes to the gym in his neighborhood
36:26
in his location and just goes to work so
36:28
I don't recognize that it's him on
36:31
location with the great lighting with
36:34
the great coming through this filter I
36:36
couldn't see I couldn't recognize the
36:38
filter so in short I would be influenced
36:41
to think the same way every day is a
36:43
sunny day every day the athletes in
36:45
shape and looking like he just tore out
36:47
of a selects magazine you know and every
36:51
day um you know he's hoisting these huge
36:53
poundage 'iz and if I am going to aspire
36:56
to look and be like that then every day
37:00
for me has to be that not realizing that
37:03
every day for even the subject is not
37:06
that and it could not be that and be
37:11
still realistically possible for him to
37:14
be the star that he is
37:25
Knight is descending on Brooklyn and
37:28
it's time to do legs when we began this
37:31
day in the life video and photo shoot
37:33
Kai asked us what we would like to see
37:35
when we got to the gym expecting that we
37:37
would want him to do a workout
37:38
specifically for the camera I told him I
37:42
don't want you to do anything special at
37:44
all in fact I want you to ignore me
37:46
completely I want to show exactly what a
37:48
real day-in-the-life workout is like for
37:50
Kai Green a little over two months
37:52
before the Olympia in keeping with the
37:55
theme of this series we went to a gym
37:57
near the projects that Tai has trained
37:59
in throughout his career we were joined
38:02
there by his current training partner
38:03
Julian Mundell an aspiring natural
38:05
bodybuilder whom kind met after going to
38:08
one of ins posing classes for this shoot
38:11
I brought nothing but myself and my
38:13
camera no assistance no lights I gave
38:17
them no direction and asked that nothing
38:19
be done for the camera
38:21
what follows is as real a workout with a
38:24
top-tier bodybuilding pro as you will
38:26
ever see on tape but it is not bombastic
38:29
not loud there is very little screaming
38:32
and yelling except when absolutely
38:33
necessary and the weights used will not
38:36
blow your mind instead what I witness
38:39
this day is a very precise and
38:40
scientific leg routine which
38:42
nevertheless is incredibly difficult in
38:44
which I defy anyone to match rep for rep
38:47
I will outline the workout as we go
38:49
along so that if anyone is inclined to
38:51
they can try it out for themselves
38:53
but the point is is that what is
38:55
commonly passed off in the bodybuilding
38:57
world as hardcore is simply performing
38:59
for the camera don't misunderstand me
39:02
I'm not doubting that athletes like
39:04
branch Warren or Daniel in Bali are
39:06
sincere when they train on film for many
39:10
a high energy level in the gym is a
39:11
necessary component of their workout
39:13
routine I'm just saying that in my
39:16
experience I haven't seen it that way
39:18
the athletes I have worked with have
39:20
been for the most part quiet thoughtful
39:23
men and women even when training very
39:25
hard I think there is a misconception
39:27
about what it means to be hardcore
39:30
it comes to bodybuilding all too often
39:32
that term is used for displays that
39:35
could be better described as ego lifting
39:37
sometimes that can be inspiring but it
39:41
can be off-putting and misleading as
39:43
well there's a lot to be said for you
39:47
know seeing a person work at something
39:49
and when you work at something honestly
39:52
you know when people see that and they
39:55
can see that it's just pure honesty
39:58
behind it is there's something about
40:00
that that people can get behind and
40:02
support real people that are buying the
40:06
magazines and stuff when they see open
40:09
the pages of my you see ronnie coleman
40:10
that's a lifestyle that's separate and
40:13
apart for me so you look at that and we
40:16
think that's the only way it is but the
40:19
in truth you can do it wherever you are
40:21
if you just really want to get it done
40:32
so recognizing the filter I think helps
40:36
me now make a lot more sense of this
40:41
journey and why it's important for me to
40:43
turn around and say to the younger
40:46
aspiring stars out there hey do you know
40:49
get your form right learn how to feel
40:51
think about your mind your mind is
40:52
driving this whole thing in the past guy
40:57
has worked one-on-one very closely with
40:59
his trainers lately he has found that
41:01
less necessary and instead has begun to
41:04
mentor other promising bodybuilders
41:07
Julian herself has undergone a startling
41:10
transformation and is now taking it to
41:12
the next level preparing for her first
41:14
bodybuilding show she has been very
41:17
fortunate to have found Kai to guide her
41:19
and Kai obviously sees something in her
41:21
which he finds inspiring
41:23
she's untapped potential very very
41:27
natural
41:28
when living on how sedentary exciting II
41:36
want to start exercising and just really
41:40
started acting like it was an addiction
41:44
became unsettled the wouldn't allow
41:49
herself to accept anything else but
41:52
almost so point of becoming neurotic
41:59
and appearing on a weird to us famous
42:01
book so people that knew her before I
42:05
wanted to look good I wanted to be the
42:08
it girl I wanted to be able to put on a
42:10
bikini and feel good and and and and
42:13
that's what made me do it
42:15
Kai's the best he he takes time to teach
42:20
people I'm used to going to the gym and
42:23
you know I'm doing bicep curls at 45
42:27
pounds and when I met Kai and I've never
42:30
done more than ten reps
42:32
never when I met Kai and he said 20 reps
42:35
everything 20 reps it made me think can
42:39
I can I do 20 reps he said it's not
42:41
about the weight what is it
42:48
what is it other people have that other
42:52
people see we don't what what is that
42:56
and they will see someone to disappear
42:58
him every time you see him they lost in
43:03
the work better because he may just
43:06
focus they get you into it
43:08
nothing goes by next thing you know here
43:12
Wow
43:14
what did you do they become the people
43:16
you want to talk to you almost want to
43:18
engage them in a conversation in
43:20
Lockland thinking it somehow asking you
43:24
the secret how is that you know you know
43:29
seeing people like that that's that's
43:32
what it is
43:33
I want this so bad I'm gonna do
43:37
everything I can do all day you know
43:42
to get closer and closer to making that
43:45
dream reality not everybody that says it
43:49
with their mouth is really really going
43:53
to say with their action saying it with
44:01
your mouth
44:01
versus saying it with your actions are
44:03
two very very very good and when you say
44:10
it with your with your with your actions
44:13
I'm giving everything I have to this
44:16
thing that they say it passionately is
44:19
with your mouth is it may feel really
44:23
good at the time I think this is therapy
44:27
for a lot of people more than more than
44:30
most will say I feel good it just feel
44:39
good to know that I did this you know
44:43
there is no easy way there is no quick
44:47
fix you know and a lot of people need to
44:50
know that and I'm not going to stop I
44:53
will be the best one day I will be and
44:58
I'm not gonna stop here I'm not Julian's
45:04
determination is admirable and she's
45:06
going to need plenty of it to get
45:07
through this workout tonight
45:16
they move back upstairs for more of the
45:19
workout Kai insists on perfect form
45:22
complete extension and complete
45:24
contraction of the target muscle with
45:26
every rep of every exercise
45:28
there will be no ego lifting here
45:30
tonight the weights used are not what is
45:33
important
45:36
Julian begins to falter a bit during six
45:38
rounds of leg extensions but she doesn't
45:41
quit and the hardest part is yet to come
46:13
the final exercise tonight is of course
46:16
squats but by now the athletes muscles
46:18
have been so taxed that there will be no
46:20
need to load up the bar with
46:22
photographically impressive weights to
46:25
their already tired legs even a few
46:27
plates will feel like a ton this is
46:31
where the mythology of the glistening
46:33
screaming athlete in the glossy photo
46:35
shoot
46:36
really crumbles and comes crashing down
46:50
those photographs of Chi for which he
46:53
has now become famous don't even come
46:55
close to the daily reality that I am
46:57
witnessing here this is a slow
46:59
methodical precise thoughtful civilized
47:03
workout by a modern master of muscle
47:05
building not a crazed animalistic iron
47:08
orgy more than try to impress you with
47:14
the thought oh wow how much how much
47:17
weight is he moving how much cardio is
47:20
down I want you to walk away with the
47:22
thought that hey man all of those things
47:25
are built on basic fundamentals and
47:28
regardless of whether or not you have
47:31
access at this time or not to you know
47:34
bright lights fancy cars whether or not
47:38
you even have people what it ready to
47:40
film you today you know if you work hard
47:44
and you use these fundamentals with the
47:46
intent to humble yourself before the
47:49
discipline you do it long enough you too
47:52
can find yourself in the same position
47:54
you know success is something that you
47:56
can attain and it doesn't have to be
47:59
thought to be something so foreign I
48:04
never talked about genetics nothing in
48:08
this day is built around the wonder or
48:11
not of kylene's genetics growth around
48:15
the specifics of doing certain things
48:19
every day
48:25
and even when it gets difficult if you
48:27
believe that you can be successful at
48:29
doing it you have a purpose for getting
48:31
these be fun then success can follow six
48:45
let's go seven yep let's go nine ten
48:52
drive good from the outset the purpose
49:10
of this day in the life video series has
49:12
been to show the work that it takes to
49:14
be an award-winning bodybuilder no
49:16
matter how unfortunate and mundane it
49:18
might be
49:28
two Russian press impressed
49:32
Oh
49:44
the more I talk about this with Kai the
49:47
more I get the impression that he is
49:48
speaking to a younger version of himself
49:50
while trying to help other young
49:52
bodybuilders avoid some of the
49:53
disillusionment that he once had about
49:55
his chosen sport and offer them a more
49:58
realistic expectation of what is truly
50:00
involved if I were to do a video today
50:09
so you hey man after winning the on the
50:12
classic I bought this home I bought this
50:15
piece of real estate and I have this and
50:16
I'm doing these wonderful things now it
50:19
would not allow people to see the truth
50:26
while working towards creating that
50:29
possibility the house wasn't pretty
50:32
you know the car wasn't even there so if
50:36
you're a person that is when around me
50:40
and seeing something that is not the
50:42
picture that you want for your life I've
50:46
spent the 20-year career in bodybuilding
50:49
to learn that you can change that
51:30
you can create the reality that you want
51:34
so if you believe that and you got able
51:36
to take anything away from this video I
51:38
hope there would be that yes because of
51:42
a two-time on classic champion free mr.
51:46
Olivia coming to you from the projects
51:50
but not with the expectation of trying
51:52
to just highlight you know a a negative
51:56
situation but trying to highlight the
51:59
fact that it doesn't matter where you're
52:02
at at the time that you dare to dream
52:04
and it doesn't matter ring then at the
52:08
time that you build a dream just keep
52:11
dreaming and keep poking you know be
52:15
honest about getting the work done and
52:19
the better picture that you're looking
52:21
to create for yourself it can be a team
53:46
you can't aspire to win the show and if
53:50
you just see the show as the show that
53:52
day something separate and apart from
53:55
the little each day and the little
53:59
things that you do in the totality of
54:02
that day that add up to an efficient day
54:06
of efficient accident stringing more
54:10
days of efficient action together
54:13
ultimately you can produce the end
54:19
result you're looking for this is not
54:22
believing in some spiritual hocus pocus
54:27
and mumbo jumbo that it's nonsense no
54:30
this is recognising the power you have
54:33
in your own hand
54:34
with the decision that can make each day
54:36
you know you work you work and you work
54:41
and you're committed to something and at
54:42
times you don't even know that how
54:43
you're committed to its justice therapy
54:46
it's something to do that it's different
54:49
from you know just being lost in your
54:52
own not-so-nice thoughts and it's an
54:57
opportunity and thinking about something
54:59
a lot nicer or to do something that's
55:01
with more purpose than so you do it and
55:03
you take your passion and you put you
55:06
put a lot into it and at some point you
55:10
get it you get it not recognized for it
55:12
but with the recognition does it mean
55:15
that the man is not with his own demons
55:17
or without without his own without his
55:21
own struggles you know do not if you're
55:26
if you're a beginner bodybuilder please
55:29
do not take for granted that you can
55:30
just leave the house with one meal and
55:33
I'll get another another meal as I need
55:35
while I'm out there because yeah I can
55:37
just stop here I can stop here I can get
55:39
I can get no because in truth you're a
55:42
beginner bodybuilder you're not you're
55:45
not a seasoned veteran so they're
55:47
certain
55:48
um there's certain things you can't get
55:52
away with because you have not developed
55:55
the discipline and the strength of
55:57
character yet that are necessary though
55:59
skills those are tools that are
56:01
necessary to be that have to be
56:03
developed they're not well yet shortcut
56:06
methods you have to do that I believe
56:09
the beginner bodybuilder has to go
56:11
through the process of cooking his meals
56:14
each one of them cook all of them pack
56:17
them up in a Tupperware take them with
56:19
you go through the process of having
56:21
them opening them up eating them it's a
56:25
little bit more difficult with each one
56:26
because each one has been in Tupperware
56:28
longer so it becomes more of a testament
56:31
to how bad do you want it what is your
56:34
commitment what are you you know where
56:36
is your true desire I have I've a friend
56:40
that you know is wanted to do a
56:42
bodybuilding show but it's been talking
56:44
about doing a bodybuilding show for 15
56:47
years now you know
56:50
and I'm convinced that the reason why he
56:56
hasn't is because he's holding himself
56:58
back why is he holding himself back
57:00
because he doesn't yes straight he can
57:04
start his diet and get excited about it
57:07
he won't cook his food though every time
57:09
I see him he has no food
57:13
then he'll go and get a roadie which is
57:17
a traditional West Indian style food
57:23
prepared at a local West Indian style
57:28
eatery you know
57:35
and then you know like I said three
57:37
weeks two weeks is going by so I don't
57:39
start you know man what happened to your
57:41
diet well you know and I'm convinced
57:46
that that is what happens it's one thing
57:49
to philosophize about training
57:51
strategies and to you know compare this
57:58
philosophy versus another
58:00
you know argue about you know how many
58:06
grams versus how many grams is is but
58:10
then there's something to be said for
58:12
doing the damn thing you know just just
58:16
do it you know stop talking stop trying
58:21
to sound smart you know you meet these
58:23
people that want to get engaging these
58:25
conversations and one up the
58:27
professional body both ah you know more
58:29
about mudras them I would do I mean I'm
58:34
not straight I'm not where I'm at
58:38
because because I know more about
58:40
nutrition than everybody else on the
58:43
planet you know in fact I dare say that
58:47
the top bodybuilding athletes that are
58:50
on stage are not the man on stage and
58:53
make it right here because they know
58:57
more about training science and
59:00
nutrition
59:01
in the than the average person sitting
59:05
in the audience a lot of times it
59:07
different between the person in the
59:08
audience and the person that's on stage
59:10
doing it is the use of the knowledge so
59:15
success is not based on genetics it's
59:18
not based on how nice this car is it's
59:22
not based on how pretty my face is how
59:25
small my nose may need to look you know
59:28
whether or not I'm the right complexion
59:31
I have an 8-inch scar down the side of
59:33
my face but I have a camera in front of
59:35
me more often enough which just means
59:40
that you know if you work hard and your
59:42
work is recognized you know the sky's
59:47
the limit
59:47
so for all those people out there think
59:49
they ugly and everything
59:50
i'ma hold it down for you but more
59:53
importantly you know you can still be a
59:56
success so all those people that think
59:57
well I'm too short well I'm holding down
60:00
for you and more importantly you can
60:03
still be a success finding the things
60:05
that are that you're excited about that
60:07
you can give your all and work really
60:09
hard towards attaining string those days
60:14
of efficiency efficient action together
60:16
and success can happen
