BODYBUILDING & BOLLOCKS LIVE | Fouad Abiad, Ben Chow, James Hollingshead & Martin Fitzwater

[@OrtizJerry89]

I’m so glad Martin the Martian is part of the best bodybuilding brand Hostile congratulations to 🤟🏽😎

[@odinivan]

Hey Fouad, thank you for the higher podcast posting frequency. Im enjoying.

[@FouadAbiad]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@italianintheAF]

So pumped that Martin is an official Hosstile athlete! Excited to see his showing at the O

[@sahastrajitsingh2646]

I've seen Martin train for quite some time, and I can tell that his style just screams Hosstile. Not just the training aspect, but the mindset and the "sacrifice without regret " attitude that just goes all in. A good addition to the team. Happy for my guy.

[@ellchapppooo]

I second this, martin is the kind of guy to really go after what he wants, not to mention its extremely talented and genetically gifted

[@alexattardg4s975]

Fouad, it was Nick Walker that had said on your podcast: "Bodybuilding is mastering boredom".

[@morecharacterswithamix9067]

I believe that Martin over the years can be a serious threat for the title. He is complete, round, 3D, pleasing shape, and not too tall like Andrew which seems to be way too big structure to fill out.

[@FouadAbiad]

Agree 💯

[@philipquist771]

Bro, the way Martin turn himself around from 2 years ago must be studied. Well done sir, Growth 📈

[@arranherlihy6289]

It's great that you have Sponsored Ivan's you tube channel. Can you have him on bro chat, for a Olympia prediction show, he would be great.

[@FouadAbiad]

Ya that might be fun

[@Zerodark20]

Congrats on signing Martin Fouad

[@FouadAbiad]

Thank you!

[@datnip79]

Dr. Mike is also the guy that says steroids make him want to actually physically hurt people and they drive him to “unspeakable” things. So if that is your experience and you still show up on stage like he does, every time. Then yes, I agree with James. Bodybuilding is not for everyone. 😅😅😅. I’m been running shit for 15yrs off and on and am surrounded by people that do and I have NEVER heard anyone explain they go through the thought process Dr. Mike does. I think a lot of it is like Rich Piana, it’s just sensationalism to the highest.

[@movestattoo4561]

I think there are people who go through stuff like that on cycle but they already have those thoughts without anything. The cycle just amplifies those thoughts and feelings.

[@datnip79]

@@movestattoo4561 Yeah, I get everyone is different and sauce can definitely cause aggression. I just think he overly exaggerates the sides for dramatic effect.

[@movestattoo4561]

@@datnip79 oh I definitely agree. I don’t think anyone could be that unhinged and not lash out at some point 😄

[@bryandaluga9077]

I think Mike is pissy about not getting his pro card. Instead of putting his head down and digging deeper he’s now telling everyone how dangerous he is on gear and that’s his excuse for not continuing to compete

[@michaelholder98]

Agreed. Dr Mike just needs a tampon to deal with the fact that he just doesn’t have what it takes to be a Pro BB. Prob genetics, but also prob stupid stuff like eating protein cheese balls 2 weeks out of a show!!

[@paulc8588]

Congrats Martin and Hosstile!!!! Welcome to the family

[@RastaMan3000]

HAPPY FOR MARTIN. GREAT HOSSTILE ATHELTE !!

[@patricksullivan4642]

Congratulations Martin great addition to the HOSSTILE team. Love the podcast

[@pus915]

Martins change in character over the years is good to see. Glad to see him succeed

[@dakotahsteier5481]

really really hope Martin is happy at hostile and stays there because i like him a lot, don't want a repeat of him getting more popularity because of the brand and podcast then dip and join someone else. either way congrats Fouad and Martin.

[@robertgabrielle5956]

​@@MartinTemple-n9pand Nick, and and Nathan and the other Nathan and Sam..and Ivana and Jasmine and...

[@bakerboyderek]

Martin is quickly becoming my favorite bodybuilder. Not only is his physique spectacular but he has the sack to come on here and put himself in fourth at the Olympia.

[@bakerboyderek]

I would just like to remind everyone of this comment. Martin freaking called it. He came in here and called his shot three weeks ago. Nicely done!

[@davecass9035]

Good for Martin he's been through his ups and downs but loving his new attitude I wish him all the best in the future

[@dominickderrico4401]

Fuck yeah !!! Martin with Hostile is amazing and I’m super happy for both him and the brand ! Great show and I can’t wait to see James on stage as he is looking freaky as fuck !

[@martingordillo1199]

Now we need some HOSSTILE Martin shirts!

[@GFunkEra77]

I'm so happy Martin is with Hosstile🎉🎉

[@ShizzleYTB]

wooooo, welcome Martin! Great choice

[@datnip79]

I was thinking not long ago how in the hell as Martin gone unsponsored since Axe and Sledge, especially after the year he has had…..and boom!!!! Hell yeah, congrats to everyone

[@sirlennon24]

Thank you for mentioning blood work with nutrition. I or my coach at the time never took in consideration why I wasn’t digesting food properly. After finding out my blood type is AB+, now I realize why I was getting bloated after eating certain foods.

[@GaryD210]

Great bunch guys& good information. Good luck Martin,Ben& James

[@danscorry4432]

Martin’s such a fucking cool dude with such a sick and pretty rig! Well done hostile, another awesome athlete 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@TheJuggernautt]

Martin and hostile! 🔥 great move!

[@josiahwilliams6646]

Beyond amazing sponsoring Martin. Well earned and he’s such a honest amazing guy

[@nickbiehl1896]

We need this group on together every week! 😀 love to see martin sign with hosstile! 💪🏻

[@eringarrison3134]

I’m stoked to see Martin as a Hosstile athlete, he really is a good fit for the brand!

[@srgillette12]

Fouad you’re a great host, I enjoyed the ozempic discussion (and all the others)

[@FouadAbiad]

Thank you!

[@shawndaniel2719]

What people don’t understand is all the guys that are pros are for a reason! They worked extremely hard to get there and maintain it as well. I saw so many incredible bodybuilders in the 90’s and early 2000’s were under the radar and never got the recognition they deserved. My hats downs to all the guys that are pros 👍🏻 it’s a lot of extremely hard work!!!!!!

[@sadiethurner]

Fouad, you remind me a lot of my father. obsessed with motorcycles, tried 20,000 diets (he’s just fat though), pretty funny, beard. only difference is you support body builders and you seem a LOT nicer! you give off cool dad vibes js

[@FouadAbiad]

Lmao. That’s horrible that you think of me that way. I am a former pro too 😂

[@reverendterminator]

I am a big Fouad fan, and congrats to Martin The Martian! I also love the respect Fouad show for everybody. And i have a prophecy - that one day, it might be many years - but Nick Walker will be back in the Hosstile family..

[@FouadAbiad]

I don’t think that will come true but crazier shit has happened

[@reverendterminator]

@@FouadAbiad yes sir!! Big respect.

[@MrBusy777]

Bring back Watermelon 🍉 Intra R3!! Haven’t had anything since you guys discontinued it 😾 That flavor was so good😋😋

[@ronin_9]

Congratulations Martin!! Martin's internet reminds me of Ben's internet when he joined Hosstile and the podcasts.

[@jefferycecil765]

Information is the biggest tool in all walks of life. Don't matter if the info gets praise or backlash, fact is it still gets out there.

[@josephrivera6650]

Martin is awesome! 💪

[@Tenthirty5]

Congratulations Martin! Part of the hardcore team!

[@jessfowler4207]

Great addition to Hosstile FK yeah boy's Martin is totally Hosstile material

[@jamesspriggs7418]

Man ive been so hungry on prep i ate my kiwis fury jacket 🤦🙈

[@joshwalsh6194]

I always eat the whole kiwi, it’s a nice blend of sweet and tart imo

[@C-cf9vl]

Congratulations Martin joining Hosstile!!

[@justinmontgomery1255]

Crowd chants * FOUAD FOUAD FOUAD* !!!!!!

[@SimonGeorge247]

F**K yeah Congratulations for Martin, great guy joins a great team.

[@LauraMooreShay]

Congrats to Martin!

[@pierrehobart4330]

Congratulations Martin and Fouad.

[@fergalholmes]

Love Ben’s reaction to ‘Doctor’ Mike’s bullshit talk

[@Matthew2185]

Awesome Martin is with the team! These picks are straight wild 😂😂😂

[@issathalgythalgy9415]

Matt Greggo has been working super hard this year

[@Jimminityjabooboo]

This is why guys like John Jewett and Andrew Jacked are going to do so well, their structure and symmetry, shape is what the new trend is. We’re going back to the 90’s… Structure matters it’s not just about being a myostatin deficient cow on stage

[@jefferycecil765]

Fouad 😠Right! Right Right! Right! Yeah Yeah!🤣 So cool to see the martian with HOSSTILE

[@jacoblariviere369]

Thanks for the live 🎉

[@emilevaillancourt3302]

Congrats fouad on your new athlete !

[@Mark_MN24]

Congratulations to Martin 💪

[@DanCarey0724]

Between my son and I, we go through a tub of protein, eaa’s, pre, etc. every 10days lol😂. Only a few companies I buy and Hosstile is definitely one of them

[@FouadAbiad]

🙏🏽

[@kenzo-12345]

Chow looked nervous listening to Fitz’s progress 🫣 Cannot wait to see Martin’s package (+ he seems like such a nice and humble bloke which adds to his likability) 👏

[@MP-ux7nv]

1:22:25 I have been saying for months that Martin kinda reminds me of Phil (albeit with some glaring differences such as arms and clavicles width)

[@JustArtsCreations]

Man congrats Martin on the Hostile addition !

[@johnmclean1482]

Congrats Martin Great fit

[@vic1mr]

Tren has more studys on it than Ozempic 😂😂😂😂

[@teppovilenius247]

I think he meant studies as in "studies", like empirical science.

[@jacobhospelhorn7326]

Anyone having Hunter above Nick is absolutely crazy 🤣 it won’t even be close between them.

[@turo1978evo]

👏👏👏 Martin 🎉

[@Ali-cw2zh]

Good for Martin💪

[@toniburdine1393]

Marine mike is always on lol.

[@covidistheflu1072]

Congrats Martin

[@kaizersoze2606]

Fouad speaking on the early demise of bodybuilders lately… in your time roughly how many years did it take you to get to your peak or where you maxed out with size? I don’t want to name any names but we see some guys and there time frames are rather quick or very quick (Somewhat) depending on who you ask… second question does it matter how fast you put on size and what you did to get there? Anyways loved the discussion on bloodwork and protocol @FouadAbiadMedia

[@jamesspriggs7418]

Martin is the man great grab there fouad 🎉🎉 and he seems a loyal hardworker ❤

[@saccq]

Congratulations to Martin and Hosstile! I wish fruitful success tips future! Now, in your conversation regarding supplements... yes bodybuilders do appear ideal for companies. Showing visually compelling pictures that appear like the product works. The optics of Deon Sanders is working with what appears to be drug tested athletes, on a college level that can elevate that company to work with other schools. I know you mentioned you're in a bubble for bodybuilding, but look for yourself the numbers that some of these programs brings in to realize they could be setting themselves up for official status improving performance in non-drug enhanced athletes.... over a billion dollar industry. I love bodybuilding, but optics matter.

[@FouadAbiad]

You are correct. The possibilities are endless. I’m just stating what we’ve seen happen time and time again in the industry. Companies that stray from who they are tend to lose something in the long run.

[@saccq]

@FouadAbiad I don't blame your logic! Seriously, for those companies that started from the pure love of bodybuilding which can bring a level of loyalty that most industries don't truly possess. Those companies just stray away to believe trends money will stay the way. Sure, you can gain profits from those who follow those whom they like (sponsored athletes ), but if they separate, so will the money... but in bodybuilding? They're on a different level in customer loyalty even if the athlete leaves. 👌 I'm glad Fouad that you haven't become battle lorn in sponsoring athletes. Keep pushing brother 💯

[@philnull]

I agree with Ben’s picks except I’d flip Hunter and Martin, and replace Delarosa with Bonac

[@dazsolimani2437]

So happy he has joined hostile going to kill it ❤

[@joshwalsh6194]

Should do a line for the ladies and call it Herstile

[@marcus8420]

Brandon Curry looked incredibly impressive at the Olympia 2022, but he seemed a lot smaller at the Olympia 2023. I really enjoy the podcast! 🙂

[@aleisterstrange]

You all are completely correct about people rooting for the underdog until they are big time, its the same way in music the hometown supports you until you have a big following and then jealously and envy kicks in. Thats why every rapper dies in their hometown.

[@anth2290]

Congrats to you guys and Martin. Also no shade to Dr Mike but the whole Ozempic thing the eating protein bars and so on and he’s yet to come into a show in shape. There’s something to be said for good ol fashioned dieting and cardio. It’s just another chemical in something that’s already a plethora of stuff.

[@chrisstell08]

Josema, Carlos dommar, and Greggo are gonna be the next coming into the top 6

[@bostonstrongpatriots8881]

Hey Fouad, are you a Lion season ticket holder? This team's attitude would go well with Hosstile mentality, coach Campbell also, you would be shown on Fox in a skybox next to the owner like Jon Bon Jovi at Patriots games btw it's crazy Ben doesn't know Manning and Brady, I'm from Europe so that's not an excuse 😅

[@CameronEarlyMusic]

martin, nick, hunter are in their own little section. like ben said, they could all beat each other on any given day..

[@peterrusted2416]

Nick is like the modern day Markus Ruhl

[@muffinman_mike]

Fouad, you should have Kurt Havens on RBP if you are exploring stack design based on bloodwork. Definitely a thought leader in the space.

[@FouadAbiad]

I will look into it. I’ve never heard of him.

[@andrewm6421]

Definetely not a thought leader, more of a charlatan. The guys 50 runs 3.5 grams of gear 18 ius of GH and doesnt compete.

[@baawwb]

Congrats to Martin, but could he please use some of his Hosstile money to upgrade his internet connection?

[@tylerschnarr]

This is a nice thought, but people don’t believe people that take small amounts as it is unless you start proving it people will just dismiss it as bs like they have been, “he must be taking 2g atleast” 44:55 wild I typed this right before Ben said it 😂

[@vanessak3795]

When talking about fans turning on you once you begin winning, In Australia, it’s known as tall poppy syndrome. Tall Poppy Syndrome is when people who have achieved too much success are cut down by others. They may genuinely deserve their success, but it makes other people feel like they have overachieved, so they try to cut the tall poppy down

[@BernieDiveley-il1qg]

Martin 👏👏👏

[@amanan28]

Martin and Samson have more comparable physiques structurally IMO, rather than comparisons of Nick v Hunter v Martín

[@mouniraboufadel7385]

You guys are forgetting about Mohammed Fooda! He can def land in 7-9!

[@jeffc9713]

Think Martin is a great addition to the hosstile team. Trains his ass off

[@danielvasilica]

Apple core gets eaten when you slice an Apple. No one cuts the core with a knife

[@rensoalink4101]

Hey hey fouad! I have the new sportster 1250h, that one is a great harley. Model before are blegh jeah

[@datnip79]

On the judging thing. One thing that is never brought up and what I think is the most significant, the highest and lowest score are thrown out and it’s an average. That gets rid of any bias

[@DaleMorrow-gu3ve]

Martin is a great fit for Hostile imo

[@Swainbrah]

Was mirin martins side delt whole pod. Shits looking capped and bubbly

[@artgood73]

And now they are pushing Coach Prime 😂

[@oglanza4451]

Dave Crosland would be good to have on to talk about bloodwork n cycles etc

[@T.B.Nation]

Martian and HOSSTILE!

[@tshatos6442]

Steve Reeves made the same argument as James in an interview, he said something along the lines that if someone has to take exogenous hormones, they shouldn’t bodybuild, they should do something else.

[@chopst11x92]

Mitochondrial function and health based protocol is going to absolutely flip prep on its head.

[@SriRam-bn9pe]

0:01 my face when she says I can't eat a whole large pizza for breakfast

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I think part of the reason people don't believe the athletes is that there is so much scamming in the industry about supplements (One week a guy says "x" protein is the best ever, and he gets a new sponsor and he turns around and says "y" supplements are the best and it got me this physique....guys we're not that stupid, so the lack of credibility spills over to your messaging about the gear use....it's natural that some folks are very skeptical about your messaging about gear numbers.

[@FouadAbiad]

That’s why Samson has been with us for over 4 years

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@FouadAbiad yes sir, Fouad that's why Samson is a great ambassador for your products. He almost always if ALWAYS does have Hosstile products featured in his videos, and he's done it for a while so he's built that credibility....and congrats on signing Marty, he's matured and now is very likeable

[@jamesfrater7813]

Hopefully the blood work matching with gear will show lots of these guys that it’s just not in the cards for them

[@michaelholder98]

I have been prescribed test cyp since I was 20 due to a microadanoma (mini tumor) growth on my pituitary gland fucking my hormones. I need a trusted endo to reexamine me as I know my gh levels are nowhere near optimal and all the other hormones as well and if I get discriminated against based on my physique I’m going to flip those doctors the bird and tell them “I got the money, don’t need to do this dance with you and my insurance - fuck you, I’m going to Merek Health!” -Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
