Bringing something new to the sport.
In the bodybuilding community it’s no secret. When fans think of the people’s champ the name Kai Greene automatically comes to mind. The consensus number two bodybuilder in the world hopes to take the Olympia crown this year from long time rival Phil Heath and his recent guest posing have shown the man in some impressive size, definition, and conditioning. With last year’s competition being so heated, as well as being razor close, fans have been waiting in anticipation to see who will take the top spot at this year’s event.
But getting back to the title that Greene has informally adopted, the reason he’s considered the people’s champ is simple. For one – he’s humble in his approach to the sport while at the same time brimming with confidence. He’s a man on a mission, focused and driven, yet he still manages to keep his head on his shoulders, remain true to himself, and always does his best to entertain the fans.

This past weekend saw another pro show take place, this time in the popular Canadian city of Toronto. The Toronto Pro Supershow had it’s fair share of professional bodybuilders, athletes, and personalities, one of those being the people’s champ himself. Living up to his title, Kai took to the stage for a guest posing routine but it was only after its conclusion that he was met with an interesting challenge. Known for his agile and animated posing style, Kai was challenged to put his moves on full display in an impromptu on stage dance battle by three young fans. Never one to back down or turn away a fan, Kai did his best to bring his A game against the set of talented young man. Take a look.

Kai always gives back and interacts with the fans – but more importantly – he is always providing something new to the bodybuilding world. It’s hard to be surprised after so many years of mass monster champions – but Kai brings something truly different to the table. That combined with his genetics and talent create for quite the powerful competition to Phil Heath every year.
It could be argued that his eccentric personality and style is part of the reason he will never rise up to #1. But one thing is for sure – he’s the people’s champ and that’s not going to change if he keeps bringing entertaining surprises to the sport year after year.
