Natural (he was natural back then yes?), streamlined, no gut, good lines. And I STILL despised EVERYTHING about his posing. I couldn't even make it through it, so I don't know if he stood on his damn head or not, and I don't care. It's just fucking wretched.

I know I'm commiting a sacreligious crime against the Holy Order of Kai is Posing Lord; but again, I don't care. I can NOT STAND his posing.

Looks great standing still though. Perhaps an IFBB sanction against Kai doing any posing routines would be to the betterment of the sport.

284 there- minus 5 lbs or so of water, plus 3 lbs or so from carbing up equals still almost 280 after you subtract the clothes.... say 276??

keep in mind that outfit he had on plus the shoes or w.e he was wearing...thats a solid 4-5lbs. itself but still he will prolly be 270, a monster!

hes wearing a weighted vest

[HeavyDutyGuy]

I mentioned the clothes.........

[JUSTINIAN]

well that was on the official weigh in scale at the O right?...looked like the same place they weighed the 202 guys in at, so I guess it was....so at 48 hrs out, minus all the clothes and knowing Kai's body holds a ton of water (it cant help but gain 40-50 lbs within a couple weeks after he finishes dieting, thats just his body) and thinking hes probably still drinking TONS of water at that point and knowing where he was at a week ago....my guess is 270 lbs onstage....but a LEGIT 270 LBS!!!

He was 246 at last years Mr. Olympia!!....thats a literal 24 lbs difference....holy shit!!!...thats absolutely crazy!....he was a very flat (for Kai) last yr @ 246....but regardless he was on that scale at wednesdays weigh in over 40 lbs heavier than last yrs contest weight...and his onstage weight will be about 25 lbs heavier...WTF?......yikes!....of course everyone will expect him to be out of condition after knowing that....BUT if he walks onstage in top condition like at 2009 Arnold it will be something for the ages!.....If he does that and controls his mid section shows over....thats it...lights out!...Unless Jay comes in 10 lbs bigger and harder Kai Greene will be Mr. Olympia if thats the case.....the fact that he weighs 25 lbs more is interesting to say the least ESPECIALLY if hes super dry at that weight (which I understand he will definately be!)....photo comparisons from the 2009 Olympia and the 2010 Olympia for Kai will go down in history...better than Dorians pics in his socks the year he gained 15 lbs between his first and 2nd Olympia titles maybe...lol.....him and Jay will look like two farm animals up there side by side....at 270 its safe to say that Jay wont outsize him.....but before we crown Kai or criticize Kai for being 270+ lbs onstage, lets first see what that 270 lbs looks like....we'll know soon enough.....but that has to be the biggest 1 year bodyweight gain of any top 5 Mr. Olympia competitor in history....crazy

[THUNDERGOD]

my question is...why are they using a cheap bathroom scale to weigh in at the mr. olympia?

I was wondering the same thing. Shouldn't they have a "doctors" scale at the very least??

[thachozenonebx]

I respect your opinion. But posing is all about individuality. If you did no like Kai's posing. You should love Shawn Ray's classic posing of the 99 Mr O.

I agree. I'm guessing that is why he was wearing a ton of sweats at the press conference. He looked like he is holding a bit of water. I suspect him to be between 268-272 on stage. Take away all the sweats and clothing and the scale would show about 278-280.

I agree with this post, you can tell you actually compete.

and? kovacs weighed 300+ I beleive...didnt do him any favours.

[mg659er]

284.8lbs.....................he should be around 270-275lbs on stage

Yeah he woulda been so much more of a threat at this weight (270-275lbs)! agreed and public props to you sir!

[mg659er]

this wont be as impressive when he shows up watery again or fat as layne norton would say

good call! exactly what happened! a lil smooth! not the best crispy conditioning that he's capable of bringing!

At times it does get a bit redundant imo! But you also have to give him his freedom to do his poses no matter how much we dislike. I mean he cant be that bad if Arnold said that he's one of the best posers he's seen.......

If only, we could eliminate every unoriginal cheesey robot pose.....

I do respect your opinion though.
