How many of you…get this type of reaction from people, when you walk down a street.
“How much you bench?”
“Not enough.”
haha love it.
I need to get some of that dark rage.
It would be amazing to get that level or reaction to just walking around in shorts and a t-shirt. I doubt there would have been the same number of comments sin camera though.

I am betting the comments may even be more obnoxious sometimes even though you may be right about the guy who followed them down the street.
People turn into idiots for some reason when they see a large bodybuilder in a tank top. Some skinny guy could wear the same shit and none of the negative crap would ever surface.
Kai has stated he NEVER walks around like that in New York where he lives because he doesn’t want to call attention to himself. That is why most pics show him in full sweats when out…as if that really hides a 300+lbs muscular physique.
People need to learn some manners and mind their own business.

I agree. I live in Singapore Asia and the average Asian is of a smaller build so I do stick out quite a bit (6’0" and 248lbs). Felt good going on a business trip to the US where I was not as conspicuous. Just don’t like calling attention to myself, although I’m nowhere near Kai in comparison to size etc.
Shawn Ray is like “ahhhhh… memories”
LOL at 7:40 to 7:45. Epic.
Most people are just inately rude and obnoxious. I don’t think I’m that big, and typically, my size is the first thing that comes out of people’s mouth. Usually followed by a preconceived notion that I’m angry and hostile. But…in reference to Kai’s situation, most guys won’t go outside wearing short-tights, a tank top, and a fanny-pack. Especially when they are that big. However, I can understand why he would have to wear that stuff. Oh well…
has anyone ever noticed some PRO bodybuilders get away with wearing some crazy clothes?

The guy’s legs are damn near 36". You can’t wear much but sweats or custom made pants when that big…and I would guess having all clothes custom made is pretty freaking expensive.
I get a lot of comments, especially if I wear a tank top. Sometimes it’s ok, but having people react like idiots all of the time every single time you walk outside has got be draining. I can at least tone it down in a full shirt and get a little less attention…but at Kai’s size, I doubt he can get away from it at all.

Yep.
Back in the mid-90s, my wife and I frequented Kinkos for large copies for our graphics business. The counter guy was a thin and nerdy dude who has always shown to be extremely polite to everyone.
One day we’re there for more copies when a very well proportioned/conditioned BBer walks in wearing a black tank top, cargo shorts, a few bracelets and necklaces, and had long black hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. The guy looked great and walked with a reserved confidence. Everyone in the place looked his way.
He awaited his turn, proceeded to the counter and politely requested some copies… when he was suddenly cut off by the nerdy counter guy. Obviously something snapped in the nerdy counter guy as he loudly bursts out several insults while describing how rude the BBer is and that he should leave now and put some clothes on.
The BBer quietly left the premises while the nerd continued to murmur angrily under his breath. My wife and I were stunned. It was obvious the BBer made the nerd feel so insignificant that it completely changed his mild-mannered demeanor.

Agreed. That bit of sense hit me when I started the “Especially…” portion.
I had an older lady at chick-fil-a tell me “wow, your arms are huge, You must be working out” yesterday. It embarrassed the crap out of me. I couldn’t ever imagine saying something like that to someone.
To be fair. Someone said it was St Patty’s day in the video.
In my experience no one has a problem saying hi to anyone on St Patty’s. Anyone with any noticably distinguishing characteristic will be targetted because it’s an easy ice breaker.
And this is why I have started wearing a hoodie everywhere.
Nowhere near his size but damn people gawk and act a fool when they see him, a man with such dedication to the sport and then you got some white boy trying to get hit by him. Wtf, come on man.
That’s why I’m gonna stop lifting before I get that big.

Yes, that BBer was too nice. He didn’t even get service at Kinkos that day. He was just insulted to his face and asked to leave. He could have at least filed a complaint with headquarters (and he just might have for all I know), or he could have had a tantrum and collared the nerd.
But I remember he handled himself with grace and dignity… something that isn’t always associated with large muscular men. Kudos to him.
