Kai Greene is an iconic bodybuilder. Although the IFBB professional athlete hasn’t officially retired, it’s been over ten years since he last performed on stage for competitions. However, he never wore the Mr. Olympia crown, yet he has carved out a niche as one of the very best in the sport’s history.

The IFBB-pro posted about growth and reaching the ‘highest state’ in a recent Instagram post. Kai writes about overcoming obstacles and enduring hardships, reflecting on his own life as an example.

In the annals of bodybuilding, Greene is renowned as an uncrowned emperor. Three times in a row, he absurdly missed out on the championship title. He finished in second place in the IFBB Mr. Olympia competitions in 2012, 2013, and 2014, however, he lost each time by only a hairs margin.

Initially, Kai addressed the roller-coaster nature of life. He wrote in his post, “When you set out on your own journey, there are going to be ups and downs.

But no matter what happens along the way, no matter how many obstacles there are along your path and no matter how many times they knock you down…”

Greene then spoke about growth. He continued, “If you can keep moving forward and keep pushing through that’s when things get really special. That’s when real growth happens. When you learn from each experience and make yourself stronger than ever before so that when the next challenge comes along, you’re prepared at the highest state.”
