^^ And that's my point. THe short torso is emphasised with some of his posing. That is not a good thing.

Then he does the split like that pic there, or he does the handstand and it does little to show off any strengths in his physique. Sure it gets the crowds attention, but he could have done that by carrying a grapefruit out on stage with him :bowroflarms:

I also see his Front Lat Spread as another example of a pose that makes him look off. It makes his chest and traps look poor.

^^ I like the way he does his front lat spread. I doubt anyone cares how big someone's trapz look in the front lat, plus his chest isn't that big for his body anyways. But, it brings out his pec striations on stage.

He gets criticized for that pose a lot doesn't he...looks decent there though. Kinda funky looking in comparisons though

I'm not a big fan of Kai's posing routine. I don't see it the artsy way Dilated does. In my opinion, I think artsy posing is more of the likes of Mohamed Makawwy.

I'd love to hear what you all have against Kai's front lat spread, because I think it's easily one of the best in the IFBB.

I would say he performs it near perfect.

i did a drawing of that pic and got ronnie to sign it :D



... flex, where can i see the pics on ure sig?

p.s. by looking at kai's pics over the years and seeing as how his contest prep is only 8 weeks, i dont think we've even seen a 90% Kai Greene

I quite liked at the press conference when some idiot mentioned the whole "apples and oranges" argument and Kai replied that he "likes all types of fruit".

I think Kai does the front lat spread very well. It looks plain awesome. Front double bi's instead doesn't look as good as front lat spread. But, with small adjustment I'm sure it would look better.

Well that is my point, it highlights the fact that his chest isn't that big for his body. If he didn't arch his back as much, ala the Ronnie pose above, then you would see his traps and his pecs a bit better and it would display his physique better. I'm assuming of course, as I haven't seen him do it this way :thumbsup2:

I suppose that is the crux of why I don't like people raving about his posing routines.
