i knew this was going to be a great video when I saw Kai and Dex

[@timz4053]

Dex is legit the nicest most chill dude in the game and Kai takes them stories to a wholllee nother level. this is great

[@evelynn4273]

Kai doesn't just tell a story, he performs a story.

[@sanjunumo]

Eve Lynn exactly. He’s so good to listen too. Always excited himself and he can make things sound interesting. And he’s really adorable from inside. At least seems like. 😊

[@deynna45]

The gift of storytelling

[@Lewisevans1618]

I love him such a fun person!

[@xolafeni2188]

Kai is very descriptive. I love how he tells stories

[@Xxskaterdude554xX]

Kai wouldn't be the megastar that he is if he just gave simple "yes" or "no" answers to everything. His enthusiasm and liveliness are what make him who he is.

[@PosiVibes_Hub]

and every answer is so philosophical. He's amazing man. It's cool to see both greats interacting the way they are

[@JMBBproject]

He is the Shakespeare of Bodybuilding ;-)

[@SwayTheBeast]

Xola Feni look up the story he told with a fruit

[@oskycuevas08]

See GI, this is the kind of content we like to see

[@JacobMcDonald27]

Epic chat between Dexter and Kai about the machine training vs free weights etc. Loved it.

[@arshbhullar3093]

Phil: spot me Kai Kai: sure bro Phil:(breaks neck on bench press) Kai: whoops (sarcastically)

[@geejr]

I wish Kai would win an Olympia.

[@Bang_n_slang]

geejr Just curious but why ? What does this person do in your life ?

[@Daedalus]

GoldCurency o If Kai has motivated or inspired this person, it's not unusual for them to want good things to happen to said motivator/inspiration.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

2014

[@jesselopez3702]

Dexter Jackson and Kai Greene or just so inspirational

[@Turningpointfit]

Example of how real men are supposed to interact . 👍🏾👍🏾

[@grant21999]

No one with that kind of size should be insecure. I agree 100%

[@5thlevelgaming571]

this was epic to legends together being a fan of each other.......nice

[@SantosGoleador]

Truly amazing watching these two great bodybuilders showing each other the respect they deserve. Great video and I can't wait till the next upload.

[@ClassicGainz]

Dex just has top notch genetics

[@Polandsyndromebodybuilding]

job07100 + work ethic

[@JMBBproject]

That is why Kai is so polite to his fans and loves them that much. Because he knows exactly what it feels like when you get motivation from an idol!

[@cialo1]

Great video!!! Had a smile on my face the whole time lol

[@samuelamarayawa127]

Ass to Grass is Bs - Dexter 2017 I always knew that was risky but to hear it from the Blade, that should be taken highly.

[@shuvamoydas6223]

Samuela Marayawa Have you ever seen Dexter Jackson doing ass to grass squat? Dexter is a champion and a legendary bodybuilder but that doesn't mean he knows everything. Giving ass to grass squat bad name when you have hardly done them with proper technique is just simply wrong. Half or parallel squat is what does most damage to your knees than full squat. Anyway its upto you what you believe but i will say its not ass to grass that damage your knees but a lot of other stuff like bad form, poor mobility, lifting more weight than your body can handle.

[@awkwardgecko2853]

Shuvamoy Das are you stupid ? The safest is parralel...i also squat ass to the grass but knees gettin fucked up and its not necessary...

[@Imranayaaz]

Ass to grass is damaging to knees and im taking that on board all the way from a 47 yr old ifbb pro who's been in the game the last bodybuilder standing king of longevity, take all the advice you can get from these guys we are very lucky to have youtube in this era

[@sanjunumo]

Shuvamoy Das are you freaking kindling me bro? You should know about ligaments more bro. The engagemant is increased along with the Range of Motion. Past the parallel, the engagement shifts from the Quadriceps to the other parts as well. Thus deep squats are more emphasised to engage other muscles like Glutes and hamstrings. Done well, parallel squats can be tougher than the deeper ones because it only engages a single musclegroup and it is almost an isolation. (Just like Leg Curl in comparison to Deadlift). And the joint feel more stress the more extensive the movement is. However Deep squats can be good in various other aspects as overall strength and also in excercising other muscles near Quads. The pain in the Knees is mostly because of the form. If you let your knees go forward. And the problaity increase the deeper you go. Thanks and Regards. Hope it helps.

[@MrRaikorish]

DA FAK MAN kai is 3 times BIGGER THAN DEXTER ! and probably shredded

[@timz4053]

kai got about 5 layers under there.

[@AZ-uo9wj]

always bundled up like hes freezing but dont get it twisted he is HUGE. them legs dont lie

[@lovergurl454]

Well Dexter is quite a bit older so it would make sense that he's won more titles, since he's been competing longer.

[@MrInzombia]

bustinasscoach kai has beateb dexter way more times than dexter has beaten kai. when kai is on , he is the solid number 2 after phil.

[@lazaromillares953]

aditya rai Really ?? Bigger yes he is, but shredded , He have to BORN AGAIN to have Dex Genetic , Dex is in Another Level , 28 IFBB Pro Titles ( RECORD) , Mr O, Master Mr O and Eutope Mr. O ( RECORD ) Arnold Classic and Mr O winner same year ( Record -tied with Cutler and Ronnie) so how IN HELL, you put The Drama Queen in the same level of Dex " THE BLADE " Jackson?.So moron.

[@yhideit4427]

Dex. never did cardio ........that is some serious great genetics. !

[@k.b.peterson8022]

Have the genetics to not have to do cardio, unfortunately, I don't have the genetics to put on a lot of good mass easily.

[@absalom0412]

K.B. Peterson Dexter was an extreme ectomorph. it took Dexter 10 years to get big from 1990 till about 2000. Yes he has insane genetics, but it took him a decade to put on all that mass

[@sanjunumo]

ItsSquidLive Twitch same here Man. 😞

[@vets923]

Why would anyone need cardio? It is all about calories in vs calories out. Cardio doesn't matter if the deficit is already big enough.

[@joshd9454]

dexter looks natty next to kai

[@88darrenr]

I could watch this kind of video concept for hours, more please.

[@BasedTitanG]

May I know the name of the lovely specimen at 2:48? Just for research purposes.

[@danf8047]

The humbleness of Kai and respect... man

[@DirectorAlexC]

Nicee about to watch the shit out of this 😍 The Blade & philosopher

[@kylephilpot7476]

Kai after bodybuilding should read books for kids he makes a simple story sound like the best thing ever

[@EVHworldwide]

I agree as long as grapefruit isnt around

[@islandergirl1993]

😂😂

[@tonpreme]

Lol

[@UpfrontGen216]

I've known who both of these guys were but I never bothered to watch any videos of Kai because his physique wasn't my style but he seems like such a cool and humble dude

[@elementaldragon3]

What's the name of that fucking intro song! Holy shit the beat is real!

[@nidget1753]

Excellent interview and great to hear the motivational words that are very strong. Brilliant needs to be more like these guys

[@Grambling88]

Most excellent training advice about getting older and using machines instead of heavy free weights; improvement can be made. thanks DJ

[@Iwished4]

that guy in the green shirt is full of old facts... I don't know wether to bash him or tell him we know that already.

[@adrianbarbera6638]

Pave Paws thats George Farah

[@yigit198]

his name is george farah and he is their trainer.

[@alishfitness]

ahhaaha "this guy in the green shirt" is the reason why Dex still competes, also the reason why Kai Greene is at his Prime! Chill boy! Know your facts before hatin' on someone!

[@abumaawi2266]

the og just know how to lift heavy the new gen know how to define more muscle dex if you are happy just keep hustlin

[@REDPotriats757]

Alif mal im all about defining, fuck lifting 1000lbs ..

[@Tymitch313]

Kai super attentive the guy never wants to stop learning 🙌🏾

[@entitiessoul]

Kai Greene just incredible... the width... I swear and everyone knows this, but if Kai can ever get his waist small holy shit he got this IN THE BAG FOREVER! And this will cause confliction (fuck it) Kai Greene's Back is 100x times better, more defined, full, most detail, and width I have ever seen. Idk about the Golden era Robby was a beast and so was Al but Kai man blows them all out of the water including Flex (I said it). Keep it up Kai! You got this bro! One day I can't wait to see you winning the Olympia! #Getting #It #Done

[@entitiessoul]

Yeah I have a reason for it.

[@ARedFiretruck]

Rich Homie Tron you trolling ?

[@reggieshambley3522]

Dexter know Kai was lying that's why he said I don't remember that lol.....

[@chrisclements2826]

That's love and mad respect between two of the best to ever do it. Good shit.

[@kingj.q.198]

One of the Best videos interviews I've ever seen! it was great to see them together working out and talking

[@qwert1168]

awesome "Real life" video. please continue. Makes them "human" 👍👍👍👍

[@malifrancis6672]

The music at 2:41 is a 'Get Those Last Two Reps' kinda beats....what is it please?

[@zhehaoliu632]

shiiit, cutting onions.

[@rhodey4759]

can't do anything but love these 2 gentlemen. For me Dexter Jackson is the best. Just as Kai said he has been there with the best in their prime and Dexter is still one of the best in the world. Longevity in this game is very rare, he is truly blessed and an amazing athlete

[@TheMaxlizzy]

Does the Olympia judges judge based upon their personal feelings? cuz that man Steve weinberger keep talking about "i think" "i feel" "i thought" in all the videos I've seen of him

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

It's all by eye. So yes, I feel is exactly how they judge. For better or for worse.

[@entitiessoul]

And Dexter as well much blessing and love bro!

[@PaulBodyBuilder]

Wish u guys talked about drugs in bodybuilding

[@ericoung4602]

PaulBodyBuilder they do a Lil in the generation iron movie they basically just kinda say we do them but don't think their magic pill theirs still a lot of hard work

[@AotO_DJ]

+PaulBodyBuilder It's not about the hard work. You still surpass your natural limits by HUUUGE amounts. That's the key in steroid usage.

[@zSavv]

Atakan TheTurkadam you dont surpass genetic potential without hard work though?! Gear does nothing without diet and training, most people wont reach genetic potential with or without gear thats a fact

[@AotO_DJ]

ry An Yeah, but if they still lift weights not so hard, they gain muscle easily.

[@GokuPlaysUK]

ry An where on earth do you find this shit ? study all over the world have proven and proven again sedentary people grow just from anabolics they don't need to work hard when they use GRAMS of gear! get educated you troll keep off the forums

[@TheBb6prelude]

This video is right on time. Eating pre-workout meal before back day.

[@tannerrood2980]

What an awesome video! Two of the most passionate and down to earth guys in the sport. Look up greatly to both of them.

[@Porvena]

2 of the BEST right there! Gotta say Kai is so inspyring and motivatiolnal.Great ambassador for the sport!

[@reindeerman214]

That difference in storytelling though haha.

[@scorchrp6871]

naturalgallantbodybuilding... natural dude who says to train the muscle not the joints. atg is a fad and full range of motion is relative. getting big could be hard for most, staying big would be harder Im guessing. I'm not big on the guys who use steroids but Dexter is pretty awesome.

[@cpinheirorosa]

Kai need to do a kwait trip and taste that anabolic chicken 👊👊👊👊

[@RichPiana5Percent]

Alexandre Pinheiro the universe would implode...

[@smlm5203]

Alexandre Pinheiro he dont need it

[@Ap70h2]

10:24-10:40 Kai Greene’s reaction like “really?!” Kai probably think nigga u lyin.

[@DestroyerTV]

Good informative video, thank you!

[@dilligaf2386]

That lateral shoulder machine looks uncomfortable pick up some dumbbells.

[@stardust4711]

Kai could be an actor or comedian

[@heiligerjesus1960]

stardust4711 he is about to become one for real

[@Pyrogen]

I love how kai tries to make his friends look good! Always hypes them up!

[@mr.mendez9906]

Every episode I learn much more than I think I already know

[@ShadomanG]

Uncle Dex, man. Simply extraordinary to have competed within 3 generations. Not only competing, but still within the top 5 most years. Love when a younger man listen's & open's his ears up to new knowledge. Ego aside, even a man w/Kai's pedigree who is not an upcoming bodybuilder & has a HOF resume in his own right. Salute

[@vintagesavoiur]

Kai better compete and take the Sandow

[@Rach-N-RobTV]

Kai definitely has potential for TV Presenting in some way or form. And Dex is so respectful and old-school. Love it!

[@SuperNiggaFitness]

I hate most fitness videos but this was really dope, minus the appearance from The Penguin. This was a good back and forth conversation.

[@ELUnico4ever]

Amazing, inspiring, motivating, positive, and very humble for great people like you guys are. Looking forward to meeting you guys one day and of course still a selfie from all of you.

[@rondog8192]

Kai shows much respect and appreciation to other bodybuilders. I can only guess that He would probably act that way toward Phil Heath but Phil kinda likes to throw a little arrogance around sometimes and Kai was probably not relatin to that kinda vibe. He's more like intensely sincere and when you come the the phony front shit he shuts it down.

[@dylanhickey7509]

Kai is so respectful for dex. When that guy brought up kais diet close to the show he said "todays about dex", Very respectful

[@janycolcinno2479]

💪💪💪💪💪❤👍

[@falalamedia1025]

Love watching this channels vids while doing cardio💪

[@danilogiusti7818]

Two big legend

[@Legend-tq4pn]

That's wassup! the Blade said it first. ass to grass is BS! I personally only squat parallel. I always thought ass to grass was doing too much.

[@bryan_]

Fast metabolism and good genetics are key for me too Dex ! 🙌🏾

[@robchicano1986]

DEX just spitting out that OG knowledge !! hell ya

[@PatrickHocking]

Goota love Dex. KZbin has really helped him open up. He was always funny but never really was this ouspoken back in the day

[@amgrs1329]

Man, Kai has amazing social etiquette. Truly an indication of his personality

[@AuthenticSelfGrowth]

Ive never seen a man wear so many items of clothing to the gym as Kai lol

[@davidnoguera1470]

I've never seen kai driving ever ! and with all the money he has now I don't even think he has ever bought a car ! he is always waking and on few occasions he is getting a ride from someone

[@skeochj1355]

David Noguera he owns a heard of cattle

[@massivemikeh]

my favorite video of all time! Kai and Dex are awesome men...outstanding bodybuilders!!

[@FormRunna]

Since 03' I coached machine weights for all my athletes that are "building a body" and free weights for "performance athletes" cause they require more stability!

[@rickster2c]

kai got tree trunks for legs ! mass monster!

[@Kikwatz]

They are the best friends in the world! They are like black Arnold and Franco!!

[@AbdulHadi-hs1uf]

Seriously i dont understand what Kai is trying to talk about.

[@cameronangel1013]

Much like I feel like you probably feel and let me say if you don't say....Kai Green

[@jamesdaley3165]

i can't put to words what i think so i'm just going to say that was great and knowledgable

[@goliador1995]

Kai is so well spoken and mannered he's such a great role model to me and all the young guys

[@guilhermesilveira8601]

It is simply amazing to see two sports giants recognize their efforts and Achievements

[@Spychu1993]

Did you know that you can film and show the workout and simply just out thd commentary in the background? that would be more enjoyable

[@JMX2323]

Kai wearing a rope pull down attachment around his neck in all of these videos

[@thomaswimberly5178]

175 likes not one dislike. No what would it be if Phil Heath was in here and not kai lol

[@thomaswimberly5178]

Now*

[@the_OG1893]

thomas wimberly Phil is a fucking twat lol

[@datniggajohnredcorn5433]

HDskunky at least he can win a Mr. Olympia. Mr. Gay for Play dominatrix will never win

[@BonheurNtwari]

by far the best fucking video on youtube. so much knowledge and humbleness

[@terrybradley44]

Wow! This so hard to watch yet at the same fun to watch because I know all of these guys. Kai and I go back since he was 19 training at 5th Ave Gym in Bklyn, we later ran into each other in Jacksonville when I moved there. Lol, I would often rum into Dexter, we would talk for a good while, we were always cool with each other and he always encouraging! George Farah, Wow! we competed against each other as middle weights so we go back, gosh early 90s! Steve Weinburger, he was my NPC District Judge reppin NYC, so I've know Steve for years! I used to train at he and his wife the famous Bev Francis! At their gym in Long Island, but when it was Gold's Gym now it's Powerhouse. This was awesome to watch, this is what I miss the most being with my own peers!

[@sandemotivation3021]

Im new to making bodybuilding videos and I would love it if you visited my channel and told me what you think of my videos, thanks!

[@drexelstar]

Boy I really hope Kai has dealt with all the demons and has a year of straight focus and intensity to really challenge Phil this year. He's got to be able to become that killer on the stage and not the nice guy, because that won't beat Phil. Dexter, what can I say, he's the face of my generation of body builders. Sure you had Dorian, Ronnie, Jay, Phil, but when the fire is out and the smoke settles, Dexter is right there on stage usually in the top 3. Phil, Dorian, Jay, Ronnie (well maybe not Ronnie) all competed solely in the Olympia. But Dex, man Dex competed in EVERYTHING. To me he was the embodiment of Arnold in the sense that neither really had an off season, it was the way they lived, and their genetics allowed it. Anyway loved the vid, love Kai, love Dex, good luck to everybody this year in all the competitions, and here's to Kai's comeback!

[@Kikwatz]

But Kai "the Wai" is just a few years younger than Dex "the Pex"!

[@williammunny9916]

GOD BLESS Kai Greene and Dexter Jackson !!!

[@wheelerking8380]

(1st time ever hearing his name or seeing him btw) George Farrah seems to be like the bad guy/snake oil salesman in movies who somehow got into the position (nobody knows how though), says he knows what he's talking about but his actions/words/mannerisms/etc say otherwise.....he's just not very convincing/sure of himself....maybe he is, he just comes off this way.

[@manuelgallardo4391]

Kai Greene No. 1!!👌🎉🏆

[@JuanCarlos-iw2bx]

No one is talking about how he said ATGs are bullshit!!?!? When I train , atg is way more comfortable and I don't feel my joints as bad as when I go heavy and parallel , given that it's much lighter weight strictly hitting the muscle and chasing the pump

[@Chedda3000music]

This was not a training video, but it was better than I expected. 👍🏽

[@robchicano1986]

sweet video lets get more with pros training together!! :)

[@originaldpowers2867]

I wonder what A Book Authured By Kai Green WOULD READ LIKE... That would be a AWESOME READ

[@southholland6277]

Ma, Kai should be an interviewer. He's really good at asking the right questions and making those he's asking the question to feel comfortable. That is a natural ability. Would love to see him transition.

[@Arendeagle]

I always thought Dexter Jackson had the best genetics for proportion and aesthetics. I also am of the opinion that he looked better than Ronnie even back in the day but perhaps because of his "smaller" stature he placed below Ronnie and co. The focus is back on aesthetics again.

[@lazaromillares953]

Some hater says that Dexter is a Dick but 99 % of Pro Bodybuilders,Gyms Staff , Trainers, Sport gans etc says the Oposite , to me he is the Best.

[@keithfauntleroy2001]

Kai is so humble man I swear...never seen anything like it
