Worlds Collide as Kai Greene and Rodney Roller Train Together

For a while now I’ve been shooting footage of Kai Greene for MuscleMeds for a third DVD to come out after the Olympia. I’ve also been shooting Rodney Roller as he prepares for the North Americans for a DVD for Xero Limits.

My two projects collided yesterday as both Kai and Rodney trained together at Powerhouse Gym in Syosset, LI.

Kai is looking great of course.

Rodney’s conditioning is much better than Kai at this point, but his show is only three weeks away!

The two of them had a very comfortable rapport. Kai helped evaluate Rodney’s physique and reminded him to stay strictly on the diet regimen that Oscar has outlined for him. “It works like magic!”, I overheard him say.

I have no idea which documentary this footage will find its way into! Probably a little of BOTH!

Awesome stuff as usual Mike - thanks for the update.

very cool

Awesome. I am still amazed Kai can move like that at damn near 300lbs at that height.

Kai is a such freak. Can’t wait for the O

Imagine training in a gym with 300lb guys like that walking around… Would make everyone else there train 5x harder.

Just watched part 1 of “Kai Greene - A New Breed, Vol. 2 Redemption” and just wanted to tell everyone who hasn’t watched it to check it out.

Mike - so far this one looks even better than Overkill.

Awesome.

Will the O be streamed online?

Not really, they would just stare and gossip about steroids.

This

What kind of elbow pads/wraps are those that they’re wearing?

My elbow is KILLING me and may be time to start placing gear on them. However, I don’t know exactly what I’d place in my search query.

I like these

APT (google APT elbow sleeves) also has all sorts of good reviews, but the are constantly out of fucking stock.

^^^Appreciated.

IMO your narration has improved alot since the last vid - you just seem more comfortable with doing the narration in this vid. Kai also seems to be more comfortable around you and the camera in this video.

Part 4, the leg training session, looks like it might be my favorite part of the whole vid.

Once again great work Mike.

I love Kai’s monastic attitude. Mike, thanks for documenting his journey so well.
