[@jasoncorrick3058]

Hey James thanks for the mention its nice to be remembered brother

[@VeeTaperTemplar]

Let’s be honest Neil, Derek and a ton of other athletes are proving there’s gonna be more freaks as we go on in the generations. More extreme genetic blessings with shape for bodybuilding. The lats from the front are all getting crazy these days Thanks for 2 1/2 hours Big Hoss we appreciate it 👏🏼

[@RichardRatner.1972]

On a Saturday! Wow, wow, wow ! Thanks Foud, big love to you & the crew. Kindest regards, Richard U.K

Neil is a man on a mission! Great to see him back on the podcast. His physique is one of my favorites in the IFBB. Crazy physique

[@charliedavis02]

The British boys! Need this lineup more often man, love these guys

[@FouadAbiad]

Hey guys sorry about the audio. I got hit with copyright music on my intro for some reason so KZbin is trimming it out. It must have fucked up the audio throughout the whole thing. I think that might mean the time stamps are off as well.

Same here brother. I'm trying my hardest to keep it together for these kids and myself. YOU can do it, don't stop. 😤👍

I want to like guy and nicks podcast. I try to. I like them as people. But I can never make it more than just a few minutes. For some reason those same 2 men on their own just aren’t entertaining like they were on this podcast. And that reason as I’m sure everyone agrees is Fouad. He’s just terrific at this. His voice and charisma combined with the talent to moderate and guide the conversation is top notch. Congratulations Fouad. Seriously you’ve made something special. Thank you.

Well, I was watching something else... I'm not doin that anymore haha

Love the podcast! Genuinely something I look forward to each week.

[@antonhallergren588]

James in the off-season has some of the wildest pics. That side chest is just insane. When all that stays to the stage it's going to be game over for a lot of people. Maybe him and Milos should get togheter. Milos for sure knows how to get a freaky look on stage and he's no stranger to working with guys that are the size of James.

Fouads podcasts always give me .."THAT PUFFY GOOD FEELING" 😮😂

[@Mustalainen1000]

Honestly the Detroit trophy should be Luke in the Juggernaut pose. Would be great.

[@Bec.Mackey]

This is helping with prep cardio so much! You guys rock. Fouad a hosstile 1st phorm style summer smash would be amazing! I’d be waiting for the tix to drop!! Let’s go.

[@DylanRoesler27]

As a 21 y/o myself what Fouad said about the pressure to make money lifting is real. I started out training bc I love it and lead me to college studying ESS and physical therapy. But as I have seen so many influencers pop up that are my age or even younger than me makes me feel an anxiety about not being able to do the same. I still have a lot to learn but some of the influencers know so little about the field with mid tier physiques and make six figures. It makes me feel like Im wasting my potential and time but I just have to say thank you. It was really stressing me out about not posting pics and vids to social media or recording my workouts bc I honestly hate that. I just want to eat my meals, go train hard as hell, and not have to worry about bringing a damn tripod with me or making stupid tik toks. But to hear yall feel the same is such a relief and that Its ok to just lift for yourself❤️🙏.

[@DylanRoesler27]

(2/2) As Fouad said even if I had a really great physique without a social media following theres no real incentive to sign someone like me and I completely understand that. So I accepted that social media wasn't for me but I am pursuing a career as a Physical Therapist and while studying im working as a personal trainer and find so much more satisfaction in that.

[@antonhallergren588]

I'm in the same boat but my passion is not being some popular influencer. It is to be a bodybuilder. If people want to follow that journey then absolutely they're welcome but if they want daily nonsense content and shitty information they can go follow some other 170 lbs 21 year old guy on sarms or whatever.

[@justinlillibridge7945]

Just hired Neil as my coach thanks to the podcast 👍

[@johnbenjamin98]

The OG Brits of Bollocks are here! Glad to see Neil back on

[@alexattardg4s975]

Great podcast as usual and very good discussion!

[@danielnoble1995]

Very excited to see what Neil can do this year

[@JustenHarden]

I will also end up having gyno surgery twice. I had it once, felt so happy - but after recovering determined that on the right side, she didn’t remove enough. Now have to get revision done to remove more. Sucks.

[@Evo-athleticOR]

Man, as a bodybuilding fan I can't express how hyped I am for the new pro show you guys are starting. Fouad all your ideas about the show are awesome, and raising the prize money it believe will draw some in more competition each year. I can't wait for the merch too. Me and my lady are thinking about flying out to see it next year.

[@ajfit365movinkilos3]

Gotta appreciate Neil's go hard or stay home workout ethic. Big changes in his total physique 🤘🏼👌🏽🤝🏼

[@Amar1338]

I too went hypo . I was a bouncer at the Alcatraz gent club in Erie Mi. I was pre carb load for a next day photo thing ,and did 10 IUs of humalog ( super quick ) and started feel like death and vomiting violently Other bouncer brought me OJ fro the back and saved me .Ate pizza the whole night and looked amaze ( for me )I never messed with it again . My Avatar here was from that shoot .

[@NicHasegawa]

Paul literally took first aid advice from Seinfeld and almost tried it on Fouad 😂😂😂 Glad you’re still with us 🫰

[@Kevindiesel]

Been waiting for Neil to be back!

[@christianwhittaker6718]

Fouad's dream for Hosstile at the end is why we follow and invest . Yeah we get the big boat and fast car bit but the want of including the Hosstile "family" is something beyond that. Not just short term monetary gain for himself but taking the fans along and wanting us to be part of that journey. There's been ups and downs but it's all part of that journey and storey . So many chapters yet to be written.

[@drivenafrecovery7480]

Awesome to see Bodybuilding and Bollocks again. Awesome with Neil and my wife is my Best Friend too. And what Ben said. Appreciate yall

[@Brose_Canseco]

James is seriously goated ahaha some of his one liners are absolute gold

Jeez I thought I was high watching this. Sure uncle Fouad will get the audio sorted 🫡😊

Hearing that hypo experience was good to listen to I have them all the time so to know it’s so normal is reassuring 😂

Ima fan of the trophies myself. I always feel like metals are like participation trophy because unless you can see the plaque on back that’s taped on no one knows where u finished cause they are all the same.

[@martindavis6472]

Neal's point about ," We are probably all fellows that didn't make it..." was very well put. I'm 46 years old and know precisely what you're saying. Not a pro in another sport. I love training. Let's see what this does... Thank you very much. Running late for work but I had to thank you for putting it so well.

Let’s go Neil!!! I’m happy to see him on again!

[@joseayon7604]

Trophies are better! 🙌🏻 A medal feels like I got 3rd place at a fucking summer camp or some shit

[@MarkLePage]

Fouad expressed my exact thoughts on why Nick Walker won’t ever win an Olympia. He’s obviously a freak, and has insane mass, body parts, and conditioning, but I feel like that quad sweep attachment and his waist (even as much progress as he’s made with it), will always hold him back. I just don’t think he can defeat people with a physique that has adequate muscle with much more flow and better structure. The caliber of the physiques these days is insane, and Open is only getting prettier with what they are rewarding, and rightfully so.

[@Despond]

Exactly. It's their Olympia to lose but if they come in @ 95-99% there's no way he can win unless it's corrupt judging.

[@HkFinn83]

Agreed in his structural problems but the open now is pretty weak, that’s actually why he can do well. The current Mr O has a stumpy structure as well and that sets the standard

[@MarkLePage]

@@HkFinn83 Yeah, I’m not a big fan of Hadi’s physique either, truly. Stumpy is appropriate. Conditioning is always insane, and he’s got plenty of muscle, bud Derek’s physique is much more pleasing to the eye, for me. Derek should have won last year, in my opinion. He has major dynasty potential.

[@redstang70]

Great to see Sam Sulek getting mentioned by you guys. He said on his video today hes 21 and started training when he was 16

[@brandenpGains]

I have extremely good genetics for having great bloodwork while doing drug doses that all my friends told me im crazy for. I had one time i was taking ment dhb tren test masteron and after i got blood work and my egf was over 90 everythinh else was in mid range and my RBC was on the low side of the refinance range and i literally morphed during that 4 months period. Every time anyone saw me as i go to 4 different gyms they were like dude wtf holy shit... lol i even got heart scan and images everything was great. Not to mention i was an IV drug user for 10 years roughly on and off before starting the gym.been clean 6 years.

Very high quality pod today gentlemen

[@michaelholder98]

Fouad - When you come to Detroit for your show in 2024, come train at the Royal Oak Gym. 20 min drive MAX from wherever your show will be in Detroit. Its a great powerlifting and BB gym and ppl like Stan Efferding has given seminars there before and such. My best friend owns it and there are a shit ton of members there that rock HOSSTILE gear! I'd pay good money to get a chance to lift with you and/or Paul and/or Ben! That'd be amazing! Also, i need to get my head outta my ass and purchase tickets to your show ASAP!!! Work and training can consume me at times...I'm sure you can relate. Be in touch - Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪

[@ianmaidhoff]

You guys should talk about Greg’s video with Urs and how he’s low body fat yet 50+ lbs over the cap for classic and if he should go to men’s BB.

[@Demxx686]

Why is episode 29 of BB&B missing on spotify? got deleted?

[@antonhallergren588]

Keone and Regan are two guys who could win the Open Olympia based on their genetics and structure but who knows if they're willing to do what it takes to achieve that. In a few years years maybe? But rn it doesn't seem like it.

[@T0YCHEST]

Good frequency this week 😮

[@mturley8414]

I’m like Paul.. I’ve been taking gear for 25 years on and off and ran some seriously reckless dosages including running a good dose of tren and over a gram a week of test for a year straight 😬… Never had bad blood work but I do stay away from orals and my Dr told me I have a higher test level than an adolescent rhinoceros 🤣… But other than that I guess I’m pretty lucky..
