fan favorite

[@langjunxin7874]

Would love to see Jamie make an appearance seeing how much he has competed recently

[@sahastrajitsingh2646]

James's victory felt like a personal victory. I overworked myself for an important exam for my career , because of which I couldn't sleep one day before the exam and couldn't do well. James's reformed approach made me replicate the same things and gave me strength throughout the process. Now he has succeeded, I feel I can do the same damn thing.

[@49riffinator]

what exam bro

[@alexattardg4s975]

good luck bro go and crush that.

[@nickshinn7012]

James is such a good person. He is one of the most humble athletes i ever followed.

[@stefanovuka7697]

I know these guys refer to each other as family, but I feel that we as fans after watching them for so long also get to be apart of that family, even from a distance ☺️ Fouad and all the others built such a strong community and I'm thankful for all of them. Cheers to all of you great men 👑

[@shehryarmalik5704]

I really like this groups chemistry. Great flowing convos all throughout. I hope we see Ben, Guy and James together more on BB&B maybe throw in Paul for the cherry on top lool

[@antonhallergren588]

Congrats to James. I think he can make the top 10 pretty comfortably if he can repeat or improve on his look these last two shows.

[@92pittsburgsteelers]

It's going to be tough but I hope he's My favorite bodybuilder & just all around good guy

[@antonhallergren588]

@@92pittsburgsteelers idk man the Olympia favors size. That's why he beat guys that were way prettier and even better structurally last year even. He was 12th and he's like years worth of progress better this year.

[@jimmy7458]

Shite mate his midsection is going to have to improve alot come the O. But I hope he does really well for sure, an absolute champ of a man 👌🏾

[@antonhallergren588]

@@jimmy7458 it's not like Iain, hunter, nick, bonac, Justin and Akim who were all top 10 guys last year had pretty midsections lol.

@@antonhallergren588 Ramy, Hadi, Brandon, Nick, Bonac, Hunter, Samson, Derek, Andrew, Iain, Blessing Nicks midsection has been awesome in the past and Bonacs midsection ain't the best but I'm dam sure his is better than yours 😂

[@alexnalbandian7122]

i feel like ben adds so much to these podcasts. his comedy is amazing and he explains things really well. i also agree with him about the olympia qualifications! thanks for everything fouad

[@Kalebsweeten]

Earned it man. I love James. He’s always so positive regardless of placing or what’s going on.

[@Sk.6789]

Just want to say congrats James, your best two packages these last shows imo and I’m delighted your new way of thinking and doing things has paid off.

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

This episode shows that you still need a balance in life. At 44 years next month I can appreciate this. Im finally back to bodybuilding after a deadly spine infection in 2015 which almost killed me causing a heart attack. I started to hate not being able to lift anymore. This year I said fuck it but I'm putting the work in and dedicated to the diet and everything it comes with.

[@FouadAbiad]

Glad you’re ok man.

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

@@FouadAbiad Thanks prepping for my first show sometime next year!

[@cleveosteen7175]

How do you get a spine infection? Respectfully curious.

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

@@cleveosteen7175 So I have 4 herniated disc one is technically gone which is the L5-S1 the butt bone disc. Injured on job in 2006 needless to say the job didn't like how I was doing my own PT I'm a certified Trainer. Anyway I dont do injections at all no cortico-steriods because it eats away at the disc material. I get my nerves burnt out so I dont have to deal with the sciatic pain. One time it somehow got infected which was weird but i was away at a Grappling tournament for my daughter which I wasn't leaving. I told my wife when we get home I'll go to hospital. They put me on Vanco which constricted my heart causing me to have a heart attack. To prevent any future infections I wash down with a special soap and have not had any issues since. I refuse to have surgery. Thanks for asking!

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

im attempting to go pro as a Masters Competitor. I have been to almost every Arnold classic as a fan since 2003. Needless to say 2020 turned me off from the travel from PA because it was the year Covid started but the night before we were leaving the show was still open to public an hour from our Hotel they shut it down no Fans except family and competitors.

[@Tero92]

Damn, just got some really bad news finance wise, got me thinkin what im goin to do for rent to eat and get by for the next couple of weeks. Open up KZbin and theres a new podcast with James in it, this came like a blessing. Got somethinf else to think about for a while. 👍

[@FouadAbiad]

Sorry to hear my man.

[@mattoniy2840]

You’ll make it my man, apply the bodybuilder mentality to every other aspect of your life and you got it.

[@mahbub87hussain]

I know Fouad isn't signing James to Hosstile but he embodies everything the brand is. Makes no apologies for being a proper bodybuilder but still doing things his own way. Would be a perfect fit for the brand. But, I also appreciate what James said about valuing his friendship with Fouad too much to complicate it with business. Anyway, I'm glad James is going to The O and doing his own way!

[@BroderickBrodie21]

Thank you Fouad, Guy, Ben and James love you gentlemen, tremendous cast. Congratulations James we believe in you, my friend.

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Even tho we had 4 hours of podcast Fouad is the man and does a new podcast today as well. Perfect timing, killed pull day, hit a PR on deads today, now enjoying my cheat meal for this week and now i have the best podcast on youtube to watch. Thank you Fouad!

[@gusrodriguez191]

Man it’s so good seeing James in such high spirits Compared to last season Pre/post Olympia

[@ptroberto]

The boys are back!! I’ve seen so many episodes and I’ve been watching for so long now that it actually feels like I’m hanging with the boys. This podcast has been my way of socializing due to my health condition and all the shit I’ve been through these last 3 years. It has made me laugh in times when I haven’t even smiled in months. Thankyou Fouad. This podcast means the world to me and I appreciate it and you for bringing us all these amazing episodes more than you know!

[@aaronhadley1543]

Love what guy said about James so true definitely wears his heart on his sleeve genuine and relatable too what you see is what you get

[@tinanoakes2550]

Well done James 👏 you're attitude is so inspiring. You guys are the best .

[@campinnfishin963]

Fouad, you are a fantastic podcast host, I like how you always try to see views from different sides of the spectrum! We’ve been waiting all week for a drop lol

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Ok...i have watched so many of James vids that i started doing the 8 grinds of salt/pepper for my meals without even realising it😂💪🏼

[@SheraanAmod]

James is undoubtedly the philosopher of the group.

[@patchwhole]

congrats james! as of lately, you’ve come off as extremely relatable - especially when you voice your fears, worries, and inner thoughts.. and it’s truly a beautiful thing. we don’t always feel 100.. but it’s clear that you’ve been placing extra priority on maintaining your mental health. i’ve learned that headspace needs to take precedent for any goals or aspirations to be fully achieved. & now look at you! from one guy to another - you are loved, you are deserving, you are valuable, and most importantly you are enough. keep sharing your true self with the world and living life on your own terms 🖤

[@rjScubaSki]

James respectfully inquiring about Nick Justice after “who would I fummel the hardest as a cell mate” was gold. “And where does this young gentleman live?”

[@evanhawthorne3436]

Awesome podcast gents. Appreciative of what you all share with us. Congrats to James for the big win!

[@garnerdubois3170]

James is the Fucking man! I know you are not with redcon anymore but I still wear the shedcon shirt on every leg day. Even though I’m squatting 2 plates while you are squatting 6,7 or 8, I give it my all bc you motivate the shit out of me. I hope you kill it at the O but I don’t give a fuck where you place, you will always be one of my favorites and every time I do a squat I think about the shed. Thank you James!

[@darrenrandy7358]

I think he is with Yamamoto

[@courtneyryvn]

ben is such an underrated coach. the amount of knowledge he has & attention to detail that is in his approach is insane & i don’t think many people can grasp it unless they work with him directly

[@JJKLIMA1]

“fouad you’re twisting this a bit” “this would make a good film” James kills me with his lines 😂😂😂

[@ayjae_o]

I hope Guy finds the woman for him. He’s got a good heart and those people deserve to find their partners

[@martynhill9583]

Why have I waited this long to watch , only came over after watching Fouad on Dave Tates table talk . I can not breath 🤣

[@anth2290]

Best part of James is he’s playing with things to make it most enjoyable for him that’s most important. He didn’t wanna be a slave to it and he doesn’t wanna live on cod and asparagus. He’s doing it his way not just the standard txt book

[@BostjanBavcon]

FINALLY! Just came home from work. Time to grub and hang out with the boys!

[@orbarak123]

I really like that James coaches himself. I think that's how it should be. It's not a rocket science, and the one who knows your body the best is always you

[@ramen645]

I think that's great but an outside perspective is very valuable as well. Hard to see your own mistakes sometimes

[@orbarak123]

@@ramen645 yeah I agree. Outside perspective is different than a coach though

Thanks for another great podcast, some much needed laughs were had at the end of this one. My life recently did a 180 and am currently living away from my wife of 19 years, the podcast helps with my shitty mental state right now. I can also relate to a lot of things Guy says, it's amazing I've been married this long, haha. 👍🏻

It never gets old seeing a podcast that has common sense, respect and open dialogue without fear of all the censorship idiocy people are using to suppress free thought. Different views are presented, people are honest, like how it used to be and how it always should have been.

The title of the movie for James' idea would be "Jack and the unexpected/unwanted beanstalk"

[@TheMetataron11114]

Waiting all week for this ❤

[@pramathanarayana867]

Totally with Guy.. when you workout and stay in shape, it's only natural you expect the same from your partner.. more than how they physically look, it's that you can't be attracted to someone who doesn't care about looking good and being healthy

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Fouad is ABSOLUTELY correct. I used to work in an office with me & another guy...and 7 women. The women would wear new clothes for the other women to see and get jealous seeing it. The one wearing the new outfit would leave the area and the other 6 would then say shit about her....and yes about the diamond ring TOTALLY...it's so like that.

[@Rudi4rius]

Lmao James with the ken kaniff shoutout

[@spicyterp]

I feel like Guy lacks a certain level of emotional empathy & thats what keeps him from finding a lasting partner. Hope you’re having a good night Fouad, you’re the man

[@MHMHMHMHMHMHMHMH]

It’s more complex than that. On one level he lacks a level of emotional empathy like you say, but on another level he demands emotional support constantly. So it appears a bit paradoxical: wanting emotional support but not having the ability to give it (on the same level). Still a great dude and we love him.

[@michaelcrandell3761]

In relation to this year’s Olympia, the qualifying season was a lot longer so all the shows that previously were post Olympia and qualified for the following year are this year pre Olympia and qualify for this year. Next year’s Olympia is slightly earlier therefore the numbers will be reduced again. Also the competitor numbers were down on the Canada shows this year due to the ridiculous entry requirements.

[@tankerman801]

“I’m repulsed” 😂😂😂

[@Mgaret03]

In my early early 20's (natural and somewhere on the ecto spectrum) I had the Arnold modern Bodybuilding encyclopedia. I overtrained constantly trying to do the same amount of sets and reps as Arnold. You do what your idols do if you don't know any better.
