    Wow, I think this is the realest as well as the best rant I've ever witnessed when it comes to bodybuilding. There is definitely more to bodybuilding than just hitting the iron and eating 6 meals a day, the insight is so on point. I'm glad you managed to bounce back from the "do or don't" dilemma despite the pressure... Wish you best of luck, keep it up man.

      Well you gotta eat them 6 times a day but what about the uuuuh extra carriculares?

    One thing that separates you from most of the pack is that you explain the truth, you may be right about nobody fucking caring about your career in the end. Every single moment, workout and meals, the down in the trench bullshit that you go through and In the end nobody may give two shits but something they will care about is that you spread the goddamn truth. Regardless if it’s just bodybuilding or something else along the lines, speaking the truths on something that seems like it strays far away from truths is what people will fucking care about. Quality video definitely a fan

    I’ve been a loyal fan of bodybuilding for 27 years , I love our sport and lifting keeps my life in perspective. I love it when I finally find a down to earth bodybuilder that has great training tips and an insight into the life of such a demanding sport .
    I really really love this guys input into Bodybuilding , the greatest sport on earth .

    This is why I have been a long-time follower and fan of you, Hoss. Your openness, honesty, work ethic, etc. about everything to do with bodybuilding and the realities of what you do - diet/training/supplementation/drugs/mentality is why I have so much respect. From an enormous fan of bodybuilding/powerlifting/strongman - all the best from today and beyond, sir.

  • @MrAllnvme
    @MrAllnvme 5 лет назад +1

    Most bodybuilders end up fucking up their gut microbiome with all the over eating and supps. This was a great video regardless just talking about the challenges faced and mood swings when bodybuilding.

    It’s good to see the real side of bodybuilding. It’s a day in day out struggle. Your videos are very inspirational. Wish we could send that your way from time to time. Keep up the great work.

  • @OlyMar83
    @OlyMar83 5 лет назад +4

    So true, I have plenty of friends who want to get into shape in a certain time frame for example 6 months. My first question is always, what happens after 6 months? They fail to understand that training and diet is a lifestyle. Don’t bother if you can’t keep it up. It’s tough mentally. You need super self discipline. I’ve always said discipline is the key.

    • @FouadAbiad

    p.s. - my head was in the same thinking that i gotta hit shoulders and back on monday , I didn't feel like it ...and you dropped this video. Thanks🙏🏻

  • @tahmeedrahman3101
    @tahmeedrahman3101 5 лет назад +1

    It's nice to see a bodybuilder speaking like an actual human...most of the bodybuilders keeps speaking positive shit 24/7 like a damn machine...which is okay but like c'mon...talk about the struggles y'all face so we can relate and get stronger together
    Really appreciate this video man. Proud of you...you're being real💪
    Keep up the great work! You're gonna kill it at the show 💯

    I have followed you for a long time Fouad. And the one thing I can say is you've helped me and many other more than you can imagine. You have your individual struggles like everyone else, but those struggles remind us that we are human. And when you question yourself take a second and realize why you started this in the first place. Your struggles help others with their own. GOD BLESS AND THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL

    @joshwalsh6194 5 лет назад +1

    Fouad I have only just found your channel and I find it so easy to digest. Not trying to knock anyone else down I believe in building those around me up, I have adhd and Aspergers so I battle within myself a lot but the gym helps me to stay calm and focused I am only about two years in but I’m love it. I would really appreciate if you could do a video on bursitis and or arthritis in the shoulders and lower back as I struggle with both. Keep your head up champ your killing it much love from Australia.

    Just my two cents...Exogenous hormones are well known to cause massive mood swings and emotional shifts. We all get ups and downs but having used hormones myself in the past I can testify that it accentuates the highs and lows of life. Massive respect to you Fouad and I hope you feel better and keep killing it cos I love following you! Never give up bro we are all i this together.
