Clearly, there’s a lot of adjustability to work with in this arm workout, which is definitely necessary since not all of us have the impressive strength and physique of a season Olympia pro like Kai Greene. This is definitely an intense one even on the easiest setting and not for the faint of heart. Probably the most shocking thing of all that Kai reveals in the video is that he does a circuit of all these exercises, three sets in a row, with no break in between.
Doing all three of those circuits in a row with no break sounds intimidating and it’s exactly that. This is definitely a workout that will have you feeling the burn the next morning. But if you really want to push yourself, it’s definitely worth it to try out the Kai Greene method and see the effect it has on your arms. It will definitely build major mass over time if it’s something you’re up for. Results come from consistency, obviously, so as heartbreaking as it is, that might mean doing this arm workout 2 or 3 times a week to see real results – and that’s going to be hell on your arms.
Real results require blood, sweat, and tears, and it’s clear Kai Greene understands that. Any seasoned Olympia pro turned famous actor has learned a thing or to about hard work along the way. It’s not easy getting huge arms, but nobody ever said it was. If you think you’re up for the challenge, go ahead and try out his arm workout for yourself. But just be warned – this is a seriously intense workout that will give you killer arms if you let it.
