A role that slipped away
Greene said in the documentary Kai (2022) that he could not sign up for the 2015 Mr. Olympia. The reason was that he had started Dynamik Muscle, his supplement company, while still contracted to Weider Publications, which runs Mr. Olympia.
A role that slipped away
Greene turned down a special invitation to take part in the 2017 Mr. Olympia. The offer would have let him enter the contest without going through re-qualification.
Behind the camera
Greene started Dynamik Muscle, a supplement brand, in 2015. In May 2016 he added a training program, The 5P, whose name comes from his motto, "Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance".
