The Journey Begins
Aug 6, 2010 Contributors, General Health & Fitness
Hello, everyone. It’s great to be here on the ProSource blog. I got into the actual sport of bodybuilding through the influence of my friends. My buddies and I were always encouraging each other to diet and work out. After a while, the idea of doing a bodybuilding show just grew naturally out of the lifestyle I was living. I was most of the way toward my goals when I met my wife. She’s been incredibly supportive and actually told me to do it. Just to do it, she said. Read the rest of this entry »

Whenever I’m in a convenience store these days, I’m always amazed at how many Ready-to-Drink supplement shakes are crammed into the coolers. (I’m old enough to remember when it was Gatorade or nothin’.) The other thing that amazes me is the low-quality of some of these drinks. Read the rest of this entry »

I guess I should introduce myself to all of you, what with this being my first blog entry to ProSource and all. But many of you know me already, and the rest of you will get to know me soon enough. Bodybuilding and supplements are a big part of my life, and have been for a long time. That’s who I am.
But anyway, here’s what I really want to talk about. MCT Oil.

KAI’S QUEST CAPTURED IN DVD “A New Breed – Vol. 1 Overkill.”

The Scoop: Just Announced: IFBB Pro Kai Greene releases his new DVD titled “Kai Greene – A New Breed – Vol. 1 Overkill.” Greene’s first bodybuilding documentary film, ” Overkill” is the first release in the “New Breed” trilogy. The flick follows his inspirational and punishing preparation for the 2009 Mr. Olympia contest.
From his standout physique to his unrelenting dedication and philosophical approach, Greene is one of the most talked-about competitors in modern pro bodybuilding. “Overkill” captures his core, showing the day-to-day struggle of intense training and dieting to reach physical perfection.
The “So What?”: The DVD takes viewers inside Greene’s grueling quest, including 7 weeks of isolation in the desert, that ultimately resulted in a 4th place finish at an Olympia debut many fans wanted him to win. Yet, Greene went on to achieve some redemption with successful defenses of his 2009 Arnold Classic and 2009 Australian Pro titles, winning both shows again in 2010.
Andrew Oye’s verdict: Maybe this new film will give more insight into the world of an enigmatic (some say eccentric) athlete among the new breed of pro bodybuilders.
