Kai Greene follows a strict routine

In an interview in 2020, Kai Greene shares how he follows a strict routine and that is the most important thing for him. He says, “At that time, the most important thing in my life, you know, was the thing that I was invested in, which was distinguishing myself as an athlete in this life.”

Greene shares how got the success that he did only because of the strict routine that he followed. He used to wake up at 4:30 am every single day and get to work.

Talking of routine, he still follows a professional bodybuilder-like routine and trains and eats accordingly.
