Kai Green, nicknamed “The Predator,” and his road to stardom

“Growing a mountain of muscle is half the battle; you also need to be able to sell yourself profitably,” said bodybuilder Kai Greene. Thanks to his super muscles and artistic talent, he did it better than anyone else. The obligatory posing turned into a one-man show. His ability to smoothly change poses and demonstrate feline plasticity was the envy of bodybuilding monsters. What is a headstand worth?

“Posing is an opportunity to popularize bodybuilding and visually demonstrate the capabilities of the body. It’s a shame for me to go on the podium and stand like a pillar. I always welcome creativity. I am more than myself, more than an artist and a masterpiece. I'm Kai Greene."

Childhood star

Kai Greene was born in a maternity hospital in Brooklyn in 1975. Due to the irresponsibility of his parents, at the age of 6 the boy ended up in an orphanage. Over the next 10 years, he was adopted several times, but life in other people's families did not work out. Constant moving and adapting to new conditions put pressure on the psyche. To throw out negative emotions, the boy began to carry weights. He was inspired to do this by action stars - Schwarzenegger and Stallone. It was difficult to imagine then that in 2009 and 2010. he will receive rewards from the hands of an idol .

In his heart, the teenager understood that he was born to perform on stage, but his creative imagination did not interfere with his training. He imagined that the body was an artist’s canvas and that muscles could be painted on it, using sports equipment instead of a brush. At that time he was only 12 years old.

In the 7th grade, the English teacher noticed the student’s athletic abilities and organized his participation in interschool competitions. Kai understood that he was superior to the others in strength and endurance and decided to show himself in all his glory. took up training closely and quickly gained muscle mass. Sometimes, to recuperate, he ate and slept for days on end, forgetting about everything in the world.

Kai Greene and his unfulfilled dream of winning the Mr. Olympia title

Kai Greene was one of the favorites to win the prestigious bodybuilding award at the 2015 Mr. Olympia competition . However, instead of winning the title, he was eliminated from the competition and was suspended from other Mr. Olympia events . However, the real reason has not reached the public, some claim that Kai's past is behind this, some say the reason is the controversy over Kai's brand. With tears in his eyes, he announced to his fans on Youtube that he had been eliminated from the competition:

“It’s impossible to get that far, to the final point, and give up so easily. This won't happen. I'm not a victim, I'm not... They won't break me. I don't want to talk bad about anyone. I don't want to talk bad about anything. I can only tell you that there is much more behind this...More than I can say." [2]

First achievements

The first victory at the age of 14 among teenagers opened the way to competitive bodybuilding. After receiving 2 prestigious victories at junior national competitions, Kai took a break to perfect his body and reach the next level. In the early photos you can see that the guy has a beautiful body, but lacks mass. He worked out in the cramped basement of the 5th Avenue Gym in Brooklyn, where he managed to make the necessary contacts when he worked there as a janitor and stood at the reception desk.

In his youth, Kai Greene was distinguished not only by his athletic figure, but also by his shocking appearance . Attention was drawn to the two long braids falling from the shaved head. From a distance, his appearance resembled the four-armed hero Goro from Mortal Combat.

About nutrition

The experience of my older comrades helped me get into championship shape. At the age of 18, Kai Greene's weight reached 118 kg. To bench press 228 kg and squat 360 times, you needed energy. During the day he ate about 200 eggs or 30 lean breasts. Later, when the trainer worked on the diet, the menu included: 1.5 kg of meat, 20 eggs, a couple of cups of oatmeal, rice, potatoes. Portions have been reduced over time since meat isolate from sponsor MuscleMeds was added to the menu.

In 2015, the athlete established his own production of nutritional supplements and now tastes them on himself.

How the path to fame began

At 19 years old, dry muscle weight was 96 kg, at 20 it had already increased by 9 kg. He explained his fantastic successes by focusing on the result and the desire to achieve the goal. Since 1994, his name has often appeared in the standings of national competitions and alternative NPCs. By 1999, the track record already included 25 performances. In the same year he took 6th position in Slovakia at the World Championships.

The history of bodybuilding is silent about how his career developed over the next 5 years. It is known that the guy wandered around among friends and tried to somehow survive.

In 2004, Green's name thundered throughout the world. The athlete won the Team Universe heavyweight title. After the victory, the muscleman said that he was ready to receive a PRO card, but the judges had a different opinion on this matter. Since the bodybuilder did not participate in the NPC Nationals and NPC USA and at the NewYork Pro-2005 he was moved to 15th place.

Next year the result was even worse. Kai Greene's tenacity and motivation are enviable. Gritting his teeth, the athlete continued to work until he sweated.

“I don’t want anyone to surpass me in strength and parameters.”

win the Colorado PRO in 2007

In 2008, the athlete appeared at the Arnold Classic and took bronze , losing to Dexter Jackson and Phil Heath. After the tournament, Kai underwent surgery to remove a hernia. A two-month break forced him to miss the 2008 Olympia. The bodybuilder recalls that when he looked in the mirror, he doubted that he could regain his lost shape.

But suddenly the great coach Charles Glass appeared and helped me get back on my feet. He advised the guy over the phone, and 3 months before the start he came to Los Angeles. He adjusted Kai Greene's training program for mass. Now it took 2 times less time to pump the whole body. By the tournament in 2009, Kai, with a height of 172 cm, weighed 135 kg and looked “drier” than before. They began to compare him to Ronnie Coleman and predicted a great future. The athlete did not disappoint the fans and won the Arnold Classic, beating the tournament favorite Victor Martinez.

Last news

After traveling around Eastern countries in 2019 and 2020, the artist began to think about whether she should start producing adult videos herself. A wise idea, considering that age, despite the chic appearance, is quietly “ticking”, and young daring competitors are already stepping on their heels. Kayla Green has announced her plans: she is thinking about the possibility of producing films with the participation of Asian men. On her Instagram profile you can find an advertisement inviting people to audition.

As she sadly shared with journalists, during her voyage in China she tried to select a contingent for filming, but “this matter is very difficult in China,” a literal translation from an interview in English for AVN. And candidates write to her on Instagram also infrequently - it’s impossible to find worthy actors of Asian appearance. The future producer of her “special” films hopes that she will have better luck with the selection of actors from Japan.

Features of Green's training

Later, the bodybuilder worked at Jim's Powerhouse, the best gym in the city.

“I went there to work side by side with Dorian Yates and Flex Wheeler and to spy on the training of famous bodybuilders.”

To pump up his back, Kai Green avoided standards.

“I’m not saying that deadbars or bent-over T-bar rows added thickness to my back. I decided to do pull-ups on the bar in the pauses between sets. So I wanted to strengthen the connection between muscles and brain. I soon noticed results and began to optimally contract the muscles at peak points in all exercises. It really stimulated hypertrophy.”

Kai Greene also pumped his legs using his own method. The trick is the Jefferson pull. It was she who ensured the separation of the hips and buttocks, which the bodybuilder trumps.

“I spotted it from Guy Dukas. The principle is simple: you clamp the bar between your knees and start squatting.”

In preparation for the Olympia, the bodybuilder visited the gym twice a day. I devoted one training session to cardio and basic exercises, the second to targeted techniques and posing.

Despite herculean efforts in 2009, he showed 4th result at Olympia. In recent years, my career has taken off. In the treasury - 3rd place at the Olympia, 2nd and 3rd places at the Arnold Classic from 2011-2013. At the same tournament in 2016, as well as in Australia and Brazil, the athlete won 3 victories.

Childhood, student life, moving abroad

Kayla Green is a stage name, but the name of the spectacular blonde with curvy figures is unknown. The girl, who would later become famous in the world's piquant film business, was born in Moscow, spent her childhood there, was interested in biology and chemistry at school, and was preparing to enter medical school. The parents decided differently, thinking about their daughter’s future, and insisted on her entering the economics department of the university. As a second-year student, the future adult actress moved to the Czech Republic to continue studying there.

I studied at a prestigious university in Europe, knew in advance that I would probably be able to find a good job later, and at the same time I thought: “But I was created to become a movie star!” Kayla Green really dreamed of acting as a child. Having looked at herself as a teenager (a friend filmed it), she admired what she saw: “The look, the figure, the confident presentation – one hundred percent I will look good on the screen,” a fragment from an interview for the YouTube channel “NIK KOLOSOFF.” Dreams would have remained dreams if not for one event in the life of Kayla Green that happened to her in December 2021.

Filmography

Green's filmography includes 2 films. In 2016, the film “Stranger Things” was released; 3 years earlier, “Generation of Iron” was released. The Internet was blown up by the famous scene of copulation of a liberated jock with a watermelon and citrus. On the Internet you can find a video for a gay site, where he became the main character in an explicit video session. The authenticity of the videos is in doubt , and the 42-year-old bodybuilder does not comment on this matter.

Creation

The spectacular “Predator” is often asked by journalists about his hobbies, and then he says that he has been attracted to art since childhood. In particular, as a child he drew a lot and with enthusiasm. When he grew up a little, he even wanted to become something like a sculptor or artist, but bodybuilding won.

When the opportunity arose, Green began to study drawing and then took up painting. And he did it quite well; his paintings received critical acclaim. And in 2011, an exhibition was held where Kai presented his self-portraits to the audience.

However, that’s not all – the filmmakers couldn’t help but notice such a charismatic young man. And in 2013, Green was invited to the filming of the film “Generation of Iron,” where he received his first acting experience. True, he had to play himself, but still it was a real movie. Over the next three years, he played himself three more times in different films.

Two years later, he was invited to play the role of a stripper in the comedy “College Ready,” and Kai looked very impressive. In 2016, he was again invited to film the series Stranger Things, and here he had a fairly significant role, and on the set he met Winona Ryder.
