Thank you so much @flexlewis for having me on. Had a great time talking with an old friend with similar goals. Thank you to everyone for the kind comments. We’re always grinding!
Fouad I appreciate everything you do brother! You have definitely impacted my fitness/lifestyle journey at a personal level. Flex hit it dead on. You are from Canada and speak to your closest colleagues and I feel like I know you well. I just won my first triathlon as more of an endurance guy hopefully the first of many. But your platform sheds light on anyone who is motivated to perform at a high level in anything. Thanks for your dedication and authenticity man! Have a great 2023!🤟
Please never stop the podcast both you guys! My divorce is finalized and trying to sell the house so much stress and anxiety and these episodes are such a positive distraction for me. Keep the love going guys!
Facts!! After the Great Brian Arnold Higgins he is my second favourite body builder. These body builders are doing wonders for the gay community keep it up💥💪🏻
Fouad is such a blessing to the bodybuilding community. I've watched his podcast since its inception, and it literally makes my days better. I'm so appreciative of him.
I hope Fouad get his diet under control and gets his weight down further than 260! At 5'9"! For his health...we want him to be healthy and live a long time and enjoy his Yacht!
I really like Fouad and his podcast can really genuinely feel his passion for bodybuilding and like how wants it to be better for the athletes . Top man just like yourself J.
Flex you always have amazing guests on and I really appreciate Fouad, not just because he's Canadian but I feel Fouad's bodybuilding podcast ranks amongst the top. And there are many reasons for this. The purpose of his podcast isn't to create drama in the industry but to allow the audience to get to know the athletes on a more personal level. Fouad has a gift for asking solid questions, as not everyone is able to do this and he does this seemingly effortlessly. There's also stories, experiences, lessons learned, advice, humour but above all, he's "real"/authentic. That's what the audience appreciates so keep up the great work Fouad! And Flex, I was amused the number of times you had to coral Fouad back to the interviewee role. I'm always a fan of you as well Flex. Great topics, great interview, and 2 great guys! Thanks to you both. 🙏🏼💪🏼
This was an absolutely awesome podcast. I loved the talks about having kids, the personal life, Fouad upbringing. I loved the heart to heart, man to man, serious tone of the podcast. I feel it really resonates especially with the 30s and 40s crowd. Thank you Flex and Fouad!!!
Two Greats, on Stage, and behind the Mic…Great show, entertaining, funny, and personal…Every year you two need to do each other’s shows, We the Fans love it..
Really like the new setup for the Real Bodybuilding Podcast. Thanks for having Flex on again. Such a generous soul. Not often you see somebody so rich give back to the little people. 😂
I love how deep this podcast was, it was great to see Fouad being Fouad. Thankyou Fouad for always motivating me to be better. I think you would make a great dad
the last 20 minutes of this podcast was really incredible....both of you became real people to me, not just internet icons & bodybuilders. Family & children it's what ;life really is all about.
"Hey, this guy Is just like me. It's just massive". This Is something i relate a lot. Knowing more feelings about some bbuilders, sometimes let you understand there is something that connect everyone who love bodybuilding, even if you are a top olympia and i am a insignificant boy on the other side of the planet. This is so beautiful
Fouad, what about partnering with someone like Marek Health who you already work with to create educational content with them to put out? Maybe you can't force athletes to do it yet but I think there are a lot out there (I am one) who wants to learn and understand the health markers more but don't know who to turn to or who to listen to and trust. It would at least be something to put out there that athletes will see and encourage them to watch and learn.
It would be cool if someone with the resources such as Flex or Fouad could set up a webinar for the general public to join along with pros, to explain bloodwork in bodybuilding and what levels for enhanced athletes to go off of as well as real world resources available to anyone that can mitigate potential risks of living this lifestyle. Most gym bros probably have far worse bloodwork then the big name pros but do not have the proper resources/knowledge to read or correct those things that need attention bc there average doctor just goes off an average persons levels and is not willing to work with the “not so average” individuals so they just give up and run without reins or supervision and give up on trying to be health conscious.
This awesome. After watching fouad podcast with flex , Ian , Justin & the man guy💪🏾 definitely had to watch this episode , thanks flex. Fouad is the Don of podcast. Thanks flex 7x Mr o for this episode. Very much appreciated lad 🤜🏽🤛🏽
I really think Fouad should adopt. I don't know anywhere near enough about his life and the particulars, but from what I can infer from thousands of hours of his videos is that he will not regret adopting 20 years down the line, but he likely will regret not adopting
Fouad as a Rep for BB’s Health would be HUGE…it would move the sport as “More” healthy and more “Main Stream”, ..Fouad passion for the Sport and making it a Healthier BB Wold is NEEDED.
Flex, this is the best Podcast yet. Fouad gets a lot of shit from some corners, but he does seem to have the sport & it's athletes at the center point of his concern. He's my choice (that's not worth anything) for a REAL & TRUE athlete's rep !!!
I did love the end bit where the confusion came , fouad "I only do as a necessity, not because of preference" Flex "OH even this one" 🤣🤣🤣 great episode loved it 👍
Absolutely ❤Fouad 😊👍🏻💪🏽💪🏽He is a blessing to the bodybuilding world 🌎 Watching his podcasts get me through some trying days and gives me something to look forward to 😊😊
Awesome to hear Fouad being interviewed. I just wish he was given more space to just talk and expand on his stories and experiences. Basically no one interviews as well as Fouad because he listens and he's genuinely interested to hear all the details without needing to interject with his own stories. In short, he leaves his ego at the door and becomes humble to his guest. He's the Joe Rogan of bodybuilding.
On the topic of never being satisfied… I don’t think bodybuilding creates that. I think it’s the other way around. The trait of never being satisfied with success creates great bodybuilders.
Having to retire due to health reasons must be rough… However, Fouad and his love for bodybuilding and his peers is literally changing the sport for the better. The legacy both of these guys leave will go far beyond their physiques!
Love the podcast flex, I always try to leave a comment and like to support the channel……AND WE ALL KNOW YOU STILL GOT IT BRUH I see ur training videos u can still a win with those fucking forearms alone😂 for real they’re fucking nutty
Fouad Abiad is a trail blazer.He came in shredded.He was an amazing athlete I went to UNLV I got out in 1989 .My professor in College was also a renown Surgeon.All the Line man in the 1980’s were taking Anadrol 50 To the point they were pissing blood I been training for 40 years .I used PED’s in moderation.I ate 500-600 grams of protein for 20 years .I am old school.I was hit by a car on my mountain bike 4 years ago .I been in the hospital dozens of times .Pumped full of Vancomycin ,Keflex and dozens of others . I used this formula to keep my Kidneys and Liver in normal range 1 cup of Purified Water 1/2 Cup of Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 of a Lemon,Rhine and all Spends Equal or Lohan for flavor Blend until it’s a liquid. Drink 1 time per day for 7-10 days After ever cycle or every 3-6 months Also don’t use Milk Thistle.I prefer Silibinin, also known as Silybin . It is. isolated form of Milk Thistle.That is much stronger .Plus has much better absorption I know this will help Fouad and any bodybuilder who reads this . I am not here to bash .But offer. Solution.Fouad is a bodybuilder and a human being .The Roman where going to stone a adulteress for cheating on her husband. Then Jesus said .He live without sin cast the First stone .The woman was.set free Fouad mentioned people bash him on the internet? Can these people walk on water ? My prayers and I wish only there best for Fouad Abiad
🔥 NICK WALKER is going to Win his 2nd Arnold Win 🥇, and the most muscular Franco Colombo award 🥇,And after he is going to come in Crazy to Win The Olympia 23💪🥇🔥
Big fan of yours and the gym/podcast, not so much of Fouad. Keep Killin' It though its awesome that even with your success you don't act like you know everything, are better than etc everyone and thing like some people do on their podcast. Can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for the dragons lair and the podcast!
The Gouru Ameen Alai was arrested for murder. Dave Palumbo did the same thing with Boston loyed and some others that he traied surely. And chad Nicholls with Flex weeler (Kidny disease, Nasser El Sonbaty, dallas Mc Caver, Don Long kidny disease, tom Princ death, etc.
Thank you so much @flexlewis for having me on. Had a great time talking with an old friend with similar goals.
Thank you to everyone for the kind comments. We’re always grinding!
Your a genuine sole and anyone is blessed to have you in the corner and to call you a friend❤

Legend 🔥🔥
An amazing fellow Canadian representing Canadians proud and strong. Fouad rocks!
Fouad has become such a father figure in bodybuilding and he deserves so much credit for getting young athletes names and personalities out there.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Facts!! After the Great Brian Arnold Higgins he is my second favourite body builder. These body builders are doing wonders for the gay community keep it up💥💪🏻

‘Athletes’
Been checking the channel on a daily basis waiting for this one to come out😂two of the best in one podcast🤘
That question fouad asks at the start speaks to so many people. Fella is so relatable. Great podcast
When is the podcast coming out from the Olympia, where Lee Priest is on??? We want that! Or "I" want that! 😆
This was an absolutely awesome podcast. I loved the talks about having kids, the personal life, Fouad upbringing. I loved the heart to heart, man to man, serious tone of the podcast. I feel it really resonates especially with the 30s and 40s crowd. Thank you Flex and Fouad!!!

Unexpected! Big fan of you both of you, high expectations with this one!
Exited for this one, I was stunned with happiness when I saw this show up on my feed. Within seconds in I’m cracking up
Wicked episode. Thanks for everything you two continue to do for bodybuilding and the bb community as a whole. Much love x

I've loved this sport/industry for 20 years. Fouad and what he's doing is one of the best things to ever happen to it
Fouad as a Rep for BB’s Health would be HUGE…it would move the sport as “More” healthy and more “Main Stream”, ..Fouad passion for the Sport and making it a Healthier BB Wold is NEEDED.
Great podcast glad to see Fouad share the podcast love. Would love to see Feroce on if he can!
Great Podcast, thank you. Especially the last segment having kids etc. was (in my opinion) really important.
Great pod cast. The gym is the only time I am completely checked out of all life pressures.
This is such a great episode. Well done. Love it.
Flex, this is the best Podcast yet. Fouad gets a lot of shit from some corners, but he does seem to have the sport & it's athletes at the center point of his concern. He's my choice (that's not worth anything) for a REAL & TRUE athlete's rep !!!
Big Fan of Fouad! Watching his podcast since 2020!
Fouad you are the Man. And Flex. Great ambassadors for the sport.
Hahahahahaha he took over the interview immediately
Great podcast! Lmao everytime Fouad started taking over.
Awesome episode! Great to hear some deep conversation from two successful bodybuilders and role models! Keep it up!
Great podcast , the two best CZcams channels.
I did love the end bit where the confusion came , fouad "I only do as a necessity, not because of preference"
Flex "OH even this one"
🤣🤣🤣
great episode loved it 👍
Absolutely ❤Fouad 😊👍🏻💪🏽💪🏽He is a blessing to the bodybuilding world 🌎 Watching his podcasts get me through some trying days and gives me something to look forward to 😊😊

I really enjoyed the depth of this one and listening in on another side of Fouad we've not seen. Guys humble as fck 🙏🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
Awesome dudes.. this podcast spoke to me
Fouad has changed the industry in todays world love bro chat
i stg flexis’s milo’s impression was spot on to a t😂
You make such a dope duo! Stoked to see you two in conversation.
Finally! Excellent podcast with Fouad
Been waiting for this one since before the O when I saw you guys linked up in Vegas
this way very very enjoyable to watch, thank you!
Fouad comes across as a lovely and humble gent.
On the topic of never being satisfied… I don’t think bodybuilding creates that. I think it’s the other way around. The trait of never being satisfied with success creates great bodybuilders.
You can take Fouad out of the Podcast, but you can’t take the Podcast out of Fouad …😎
My treadmill walk later today just got super interestingggg
Excellent podcast! Flex had exactly my thoughts when HE was being the one asked hahahahaha Fouad is the man!! :)
Fantastic podcast gents!💪🏆
Big Love Hoos🧿
Flex you are a dragon much respect north wales calon lan💯💪
Finally the podcast with Fouad is here!
Such an amazing podcast
Fouad is awesome!
Awesome awesome podcast.
What’s the song in the intro?
The 2nd McGregor Diaz was 2016
I love this on so many different levels
Really enjoyed it boys. Thanks
Thanks boys. Enjoyed this one .
How about some time stamps, brother? It's a MUST TO DO thing when it comes to uploading a podcasts :)
Great show. Two of the best, at there best.
Having to retire due to health reasons must be rough… However, Fouad and his love for bodybuilding and his peers is literally changing the sport for the better. The legacy both of these guys leave will go far beyond their physiques!
It’s literally a death trap when pursued for a sustained period at the highest level, there is no other reason most pros retire other than health.
This will be great!
Love this podcast!
Great Podcast. 🏋♂️😊
Love the podcast flex, I always try to leave a comment and like to support the channel……AND WE ALL KNOW YOU STILL GOT IT BRUH I see ur training videos u can still a win with those fucking forearms alone😂 for real they’re fucking nutty
Greatful for this , insight 🙌🙌
Fuad for president 🇺🇸
Some focusing issues but overall a great podcast!
Fouad for Athletes Rep!!!
Yeah 🙌🏾
Fouad Abiad is a trail blazer.He came in shredded.He was an amazing athlete
I went to UNLV I got out in 1989 .My professor in College was also a renown Surgeon.All the Line man in the 1980’s were taking Anadrol 50
To the point they were pissing blood
I been training for 40 years .I used PED’s in moderation.I ate 500-600 grams of protein for 20 years .I am old school.I was hit by a car on my mountain bike 4 years ago .I been in the hospital dozens of times .Pumped full of Vancomycin ,Keflex and dozens of others .
I used this formula to keep my Kidneys and Liver in normal range
1 cup of Purified Water
1/2 Cup of Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 of a Lemon,Rhine and all
Spends Equal or Lohan for flavor
Blend until it’s a liquid.
Drink 1 time per day for 7-10 days
After ever cycle or every 3-6 months
Also don’t use Milk Thistle.I prefer
Silibinin, also known as Silybin .
It is. isolated form of Milk Thistle.That is much stronger .Plus has much better absorption
I know this will help Fouad and any bodybuilder who reads this .
I am not here to bash .But offer. Solution.Fouad is a bodybuilder and a human being .The Roman where going to stone a adulteress for cheating on her husband.
Then Jesus said .He live without sin cast the First stone .The woman was.set free
Fouad mentioned people bash him on the internet?
Can these people walk on water ?
My prayers and I wish only there best for Fouad Abiad
Fouad
@flex the cover photo for this CZcams video could be better imo

You sure it was the Conor vs Diaz fight? that was many years before you're podcast even started it's 7 years ago haha
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Fouad been 250 for 3 years now .
It seems like he’s scared to look like a regular joe, 190-220
@@JohnDoe-12 I honestly am not trying to be 250 lol. I just like food and training.
He is the reason for Beer Bellies and Bodybuilding we are Hosstile for Life

Big fan of yours and the gym/podcast, not so much of Fouad. Keep Killin' It though its awesome that even with your success you don't act like you know everything, are better than etc everyone and thing like some people do on their podcast. Can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for the dragons lair and the podcast!
Out of interest, what is it about Fouad you’re not a big fan of? Not having a crack at you, I’m genuinely curious
