On Episode 273 of The Menace Podcast,<\/em> Dennis James was joined by Chris Cormier, Milos Sarcev, and special guest Shahriar \u201cKing\u201d Kamali, who explained why his development in the world of bodybuilding was never derailed by negative voices.<\/p>\n The current era of bodybuilding is very much about a pristine appearance on social media, where peace and balance lead to brilliant results, but in the real world, the pressure of competition and the effects of negative voices often serve to stall our progress. One man that was able to stay true to his vision, despite the pressure of being an elite bodybuilder, was King Kamali, who began his career with an overall win at the 1994 NPC Collegiate Nationals<\/a> and went on to tread the boards at both the Mr. Olympia and Arnold Classic finals.<\/p>\n \u201cHe can feed off the negative energy, right?\u201d said Sarcev of Kamali. \u201cWe were talking about, who, under the circumstances has to have everything in order, to function, and if it\u2019s something negative (it throws them off). King, you were king of that.\u201d<\/p>\nKing Kamali Explains How Tough Love Helped Him to Deal with Negativity<\/h2>\n
