Short Career of Kai Spencer
Kai Spencer entered the gym in the hopes that he might improve his physique through strength training and healthy eating, which would eventually make the individuals who taunted him stop.
After many ups and downs over several years of commitment, Kai developed a stunning physique.
However, as a result of this transforming process, his motivation for training moved beyond a simple desire to impress his classmates to the point where bodybuilding became his way of life.
Kai eventually turned to competitive bodybuilding, competing in his first show in 2011.
Kai continued to perform well in several shows, displaying the same tenacity to win as he showed as a youth. Including the 2015 NPC Nationals, where he came in second and qualified for the IFBB Pro circuit.

What can Kai Spencer teach us?
Kai Spencer initially started lifting weights to fight off the bullies and their insults about his appearance.
However, as Kai’s physique improved over time, he began to care less and less about what other people thought and began to be attracted by the bodybuilding lifestyle for its own sake.
If you’re beginning out in bodybuilding for the same reasons as Kai did, keep in mind that while having this kind of motivation to get you started is always a good idea, it’s also crucial to keep in mind that bodybuilding is much more than just looking good or impressing others.
If you commit yourself to fitness, it has the power to improve every aspect of your life.
