Quick question. Who do you think would win out of jose and guy If they went 1on 1 on the stage 🤔😂

[@pantelisdermitzakis]

U mean bodybuilding contest? Jose for sure, when on prime.

[@yashara2283]

Let’s get Roman back on! It’s been a while. I’d love to get his take on the recent shows and controversies

[@Dannyjones91]

Just once episode without Mike but have Roman instead would be cool

[@yashara2283]

Glad he’s back!

[@christopherbecker1499]

I missed Jose, he’s so funny such a great addition to the group. Make sure to keep having him on!

[@jessiesisto2038]

Yes love Jose

[@Chodestick]

One of my favorite things about the podcast is how Iain keeps telling Fouad what to click after he spots something interesting on the page

[@Brose_Canseco]

“Iain admits to being homosexual” lmao

[@jaydenburgos8017]

W troll lol

[@richDonaldPump]

Iain is now a homosexual? did Nazi that coming

[@PaigeSabedra]

Just signed off my contract for the Toronto Pro! Looking forward to seeing Iain at the show too!! really cool to share the stage with open bodybuilders. I'll hold my inner fan girl in.

[@thejuiciestofallthehams8130]

Congratz!

[@rensoalink4101]

Have great prep!

[@paulwilson3618]

Good luck!

[@PMTCards]

So the 4am thing I agree is not necessary for success. However, as someone who wakes up at 4:30, I have noticed benefits. I get up, go work out or run from 5am-6am. Get back home and this is the most important part.. I’m up and energized so I do laundry, do dishes, take out garbage, even read for 5-15 minutes. Then shower and head out to work at 7:15. I have a 6 year old and wife, and getting all that stuff out the way before getting home has been so incredible for managing my time. Now when I get home all I really have to do is get my work clothes ready, set coffee for next morning, and the rest of the time can be with my son and/or wife or just something for myself. Yesterday my son wanted to paint outside and play baseball. If I still had to try and squeeze in a run or gym session, and chores, etc at the end of the day I’d be “more likely” to not go. Basically, I get the “voluntary” things out the way first thing, which means I am less likely to not do them. Even if I get up at 7:00am, by the time I get home from work I’m still tired regardless. So getting up early has def helped

[@chrismorrell4177]

That’s great… I can agree with you for sure

[@georgewhyte9868]

I'm a a 4.30 person. All the stuff I don't love doing I do 4.30 to 6.00. Then read, watch video etc. Leave for work at 7.00. Then get home at 6.00 after training. No cleaning, no cooking, no laundry, no house chores. Just proper relaxation.

[@user-mu9mq4cj7l]

Bring Roman back hoss, he’s been MIA on the podcast for awhile now. Appreciate the content as always

[@stenrichardoskar427]

Oh my gosh, Fouad read my mind! I have been missing Jose and had a feeling that he would be great fit with this exact crew! Thank you Fouad!!! :)

[@josephpagano9499]

Gold as always Let's get Fouad, Roman, Jose, and Mike. That will be a fun combo!

[@garnerdubois3170]

The joy I get when I refresh my KZbin feed and these are up is unmatched

[@patricksullivan4642]

Awesome to see Jose on the show again. Keep up the great podcast

[@Pump_Pense]

“It’s the same. If we’re standing up, I just get a stool” 😂😂😂 dammit Jose you got me rolling

[@ty1334]

After John meadows passed away, I was kind of lost until I stumbled upon Mike. So nice to see Mike on here consistently. I owe alot of what works for me now to his videos.

[@achillesleon5545]

I used to wake up at 4am throughout my entire Senior Year of college (as an electrical engineering major) so I could go hit the gym with my little brother since he said he wanted to train with me. It's insane I did it given everything else going on but I loved spending that time with him 🤝

[@rensoalink4101]

Thats lovely man! Quality bro time, had the same with mine

[@achillesleon5545]

@Renso Alink It's the best honestly. I got my DL from 4.5 to 5.5 plates during that time frame and he witnessed me Bench my first 3 plates, and in return he didn't waste 3 years making sub optimal gains, he's bigger at 17 then I was at 19 lol! And stronger

[@rensoalink4101]

@@achillesleon5545 thats awesome passing it down, they say brothers have to compete but a real win is seeing them do better than you and you are a part of that result!

[@chrismorrell4177]

That’s awesome man! Ever since my much needed divorce a couple months ago, I’ve been waking up at 4:45 every morning no alarm. Dont underestimate the weight of toxicity in a relationship, I guess is my message! Lol..

[@achillesleon5545]

@Chris Morrell That's what initially gave me the start when I was the fat high school kid! Toxic ex cheated on me and boom I went super saiyan!

[@wally7559]

Jose just made me spit my whole drink with the run towards the tall girl comment 😂😂😂😂😂

[@najiessam7240]

Love you brother fouad , thanks to all of you guys , we feel part of y’all and having a nice dudes hanging out time , specially for the ppl like me who have literally no friends to hand out with and spend all my time in the gym and work and at home preparing for the next contest … keep it up habibi , thanks a lot ❤

[@latman1]

Good conversation on success! People always seem to look for a perfect formula for everything. Weight loss, financial success, parenting, building muscle, killing a virus! Bottom line is there's hundred ways to skin a cat and many ways to create that success. Getting up at 4 a.m. certainly isn't one of my ways of finding it. I've been on evening shift for about 30 years because I can't stand getting up early to an alarm😂😂!

[@J5858Jack]

I love these. NEED THEM while I’m driving around

[@rdotmitchell]

Jose: I referred to her as a waterbed I’d run and jump on her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@swolluminatiofficial]

Never thought I'd say this, but I miss Fouad abruptly yelling, "Thanks for watching" in my ear at the end of the podcast 😢

[@Fuskox2]

The longer you watch the podcast the more you realize Iain is the GOAT

[@fitnessjunger9659]

This show has teached me more about speaking english than 14 years of school in germany lol

[@SkinnyNix19]

I've been listening to the podcasts like a week, gotta say I'm loving it and will definitely be listening in from now on

[@bchap77]

I’m so glad Jose is back. Was getting worried there for a minute!

[@JackTse]

THANK YOU FOR VARYING THE LINEUPS! JOSE IS BACK! WOOOOOOoooOOOoooOOo

Iain is like a lawyer in court hahahaha love the way he explains things hahahaha

[@scogotti7055]

It’s arms and quad tonight, but I gotta listen now.. 💪🏾💪🏾

[@user-xs4rm1ti8f]

The way Fouad stopped everything and said hi Mike 🥹

[@srt4skin]

Killin it with the video uploads.. new one comes out , just after I finish the last one. Love it

[@VeeTaperTemplar]

I hope E-N just having to execute and let Matt handle the etc helps him get that “10%” pro’s sometimes gain that sets them a league above. His shapes V Tapered to the max and he’s a bodybuilder’s bodybuilder

[@curtishyde5887]

Roman going to make an appearance ever again??

[@Lift805]

For real!!! Fouad hit your boy up!! 💪🏽💪🏽

[@d_bribe]

About the discussion of waking up at 4AM. I feel like if you have work / scheduled stuff in the evening it makes it so you wanna go to sleep late. I feel like work and chores should be done in the first part of the day. It really sucks to finish work and then be like oh ok, gotta go sleep now, day is over.

[@whitey6314]

I'm torn between asking Fouad to send everyone the same mic and just enjoying the chaos that ensues with everyone's crazy audio 😂😂

[@stri8ted]

I understand if this sounds offensive, but I personally don't don't thing Mike adds much value to the podcast.

[@SubZero-kb1ir]

Bring Roman on and ask him about his funniest farting story.

[@tyleranderson7857]

I know it already. I’m personal friends with him. One time he was in 69 with his wife, when she came she pushed which lead to a loud wet toot. But when this god forsaken sound came out of her a full corn kernel flew directly onto his nose. Her being a freak told him to eat it but since he was in prep he didn’t. He said he would have if he wasn’t in prep though btw.

[@danbastick5681]

Mike and Jose are such good additions to the podcast

[@levimiller4060]

Iain is looking good! He will do well! Like usual. Keep hitting it hard and bringing something new. Rooting for you bro. I felt bad for you at the "O" Glad, but sorry you had to switch coaches. You deserve to be on point every single time. Maybe you should bring in the freak factor with fulness and dialed in conditioning. That's my opinion, and not come in depleted and on point conditioning. Your a mass monster, too, with good lines. It's my opinion, I'm not a professional, but I have lifted 25+ years. I'm 40, just a fan of this channel. Iain has the potential to be up there. he just needs the right people in his corner. I believe you do now. With Chris and Iain...Iain should have the right connections and people. It's time to kick some ass and come out like Jay cuttler did 2009. I'm just one of many that believe in you. Dig down and deep and surprise everyone. Just because Andrew and Sampson are here doesn't mean you can't still blow the gates open. You're just at the age where you can really start sculpting and putting on the mass you need to create the best v-tapper silhouette. You just got into your prime if not even there yet. Stay encouraged and be encouraged. You are already one of the best. Let's keep moving forward.

[@Johnny_ug]

When is Ian getting his transplant!? He mentioned it a few episodes ago 🤙🏽 would love to hear about the process

[@edgardoortiz6300]

The king of the Podcast no podcast like this one you filling is like they are friends and famliy❤

[@samuelkallas9428]

In regards to the question of being judged against a former look you've had, I think Hadi being rewarded for coming in fuller at the Olympia sums it up perfectly.

[@marcoechavarria7274]

Just today I was thinking I wanted to see another podcast with Jose. The jose and Ian combo is killer lol .

[@Bec.Mackey]

I’ve seen so much of this wake up earlier stuff recently. I feel like I don’t get enough sleep and I can do just as much in the time I am up.

[@hanneskoornhof6303]

Podcasts with iain and jose are the best😂😂😂

[@bigrick666drum]

I was about 5 rows from the front at that Acdc concert. Amazing day

[@JustenHarden]

Cold pizza is awesome. I will purposely save some to put in the fridge after it’s cooled off, just to eat cold the next day. Love it

[@Brose_Canseco]

39:50 Iain 😂😂 bruh gonna get me fired busting out laughing at work

[@michaellee4718]

Heavy deadlifts definitely added thickness to my hamstrings and strength to my squat.

[@yousufibrahim884]

Iain is so knowledgeable on different things. Dude is very smart.

[@radimpasteka]

I love Jose having beer after show! It's the first thing i have in my hand after i leave stage. Glad having someone on his level doing that shit as well because i got a lot of shit for that from people and had to tell a lot of people to just fouck off.

[@arkaitzplaza1540]

Tom Martin is an amazing deadlifter, its cool to see him share his opinion on the topic

[@thejuiciestofallthehams8130]

Hey Fouad! Love your podcast! Personal trainer here. Regarding the quad involvement in a deadlift its dependent on how much you straighten your leg, the more bend in the knee, the more quad involvment. That's why a trap bar deadlift works the quads more, due to the angle of force and more knee bend at the start of the lift.

[@oskarwiegaard]

Hi PT, sportscience nerd here. I’d say it matters how much forward knee travel there is. You can bend knees like an RDL and barely use your quads

[@shavneelnand1976]

I like the point that was mentioned about waking up early does not mean it will make that person better instead what that person does from waking up early is what matters. The other point about how waking up seems to be the an "easy" challenge was different than what is put out about waking up early. How waking up early has been done by billionaires or disciplined people. That is true but you don't hear how that is an easy challenge. I mean for some that is the real challenge to make that choice of getting up from that comfort and into uncomfort when there is no reward like a check that comes from it

[@calebpittman1759]

Why the YT and Apple Podcasts drop at different times? (First world problems but just a heads up)

[@Sharing13]

Can we get live calls from fans on this show? That’d be insane 😂

[@luilu9051]

That would be funny and it would give it a little 90s feel too...

[@CVisions]

Iain blew my mind with his track knowledge

[@christopherhathaway9133]

I get up at 2am durin the week to get to the gym by 3am . I work construction and won’t go after work so I go before haha I’m fucked up i know

[@trevorchoon]

Jose - "What kind of shoes were they" Lol

[@akysr20]

Need José more often guys just brilliant

[@StanImal]

I think the whole point of the “waking up at 4am” is to instill self discipline that most people, at least unsuccessful people, lack crucially

[@juliocerda3378]

Just in time for work, beanie on headphones in 👍

[@oMayvn]

cannot wait until mike and fouad link up in person

[@santiagoromero2694]

Mike should trademark: “I was like what the fuck” lmao

[@drivenafrecovery7480]

These and B&B make my day. Finish on cardio later. 😁🤙🏻

1:42:03 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead bro lolol

[@toniburdine1393]

Jose I had a cyst like that and had to have it surgically removed. It was getting to the point I couldn't bend my wrist

[@strong4life690]

Jose, I’m born and raised in Maine and want to know where you get your Lobstah Stew?!

[@TheThecrskater]

When you say “I’d like to show you someone cause they seem really knowledgeable” and then it cuts to you talking about manscaped. Well said 😂

[@austinbrown2498]

Nothing better then this podcast

[@Blakebunn882]

Iain is the best reoccurring guest.

[@RobNerlandfit]

Iain arms look the biggest they have ever looked in his updates, i can't wait to see him go on stage

[@basementathletics6998]

The quads arent a main mover of the deadlift, but if you bend ur knees at ALL during a deadlift the quanda extend the knee, so your quads will be activated more toward the top of the deadlift

[@markbodell1552]

Excellent that’s me sorted for a few hours

[@briancavanaugh7604]

01:41:00 Iain: "You guys feel that delicate eh?" I have to agree with the other three Gentlemen, YES! Chris Cormier said it best when he described training in his older age as, "It feels like I am training my bones and not my muscles." 100% on point.

[@grister16]

Haven’t listened yet. Liked it.

[@sahastrajitsingh2646]

Mr. Raymond, been missing you on the podcast, its been a minute.

[@Morgangodfrey]

It’s not bro chat until pizza is mentioned 😂

[@ranthony2714]

I believe fellow Canadian Joe Seeman is in the New York Pro. Be great to have Joe on the podcast sometime.

[@JustJohnny666]

I think Iain is right about the 4am thing. People usually wake up few hours before their work, just to get ready and to travel to it. But some people wake up several hours before work so they get more ready and have a better prep. The prep can be work related - like finishing yesterdays work or doing work related stuff so their actual work hours are easier. Shit like that. Some go jogging for an hour or some other exercise. That's where the 4am bullshit came. it's all relative really. You're still gonna work for 8 hours, still gonna sleep for 7 ideally, and you're still gonna have 9 hours to do everything else that you do in a day. To some people, waking up at 4am is better time management. That's it.

[@MC-fb1tj]

1:28:07 Fouad getting so excited about the food loll

[@questionableethnicity2268]

Tom Martin is a legend, been watching him come up the powerlifting ranks for years and his deadlifting is a thing of beauty.

[@alanwilson_performancecoaching]

Hes been my coach for 8 years. Brilliant man, and great coach

[@TomMartin100m]

Ah thanks guys, really cool to get a feature here, long time viewer!

[@DankstaOG]

I think people should train whenever works for them. I personally do prefer 4am. I no longer party and have zero reason to be up past 9. I'm in bed by 8 some nights. Up by 3am, @ the gym by 4. Home by 6 and my day has begun and I can focus on getting ready for work. My recovery is super dialed in this way. I'm very serious about my training lifestyle so this works. I don't think it would work for everyone and I think ppl who push this shit on others are cringe. Do what makes you happy.

[@stillsolidify]

Fouad bring your brother on the podcast I wanna here his story he sounds hella successful

[@vojtechralis6075]

This is the second time there are no timestamps. I'd really welcome them.

[@bethrideout5941]

Scroll up bruh

[@coltonlehnen6803]

Bro you guys rating women would be a great segment😂 you should put up a post and ask for girls to send pics so you know they want to be rated and won’t get cancelled
