Congratulations Fouad Abiad and Ben Pakaulski

[MuSuLPhReAk]

A big congrats to Fouad for coming in second at the 2009 IFBB Tampa Bay Pro and Ben in third. They both get a qualification to go to the olympia if they choose to do so.

Big props to the Canadian Boys.

Frank Mcgrath tore his tricep which may have hindered his showing but had a strong showing nontheless. Big congrats to Frank also.

:popc Exciting day waiting for the results.

I remember his first shows... Now our Canadian Pro... our local Windsor bodybuilder. Makes his placing sweeter.

Awesome job to both of you... Fouad, prove me wrong at the O, brother....

[canadianmuscle0803]

From what i know, Fouad will not be doing the O this year, pro win or not.. he wants to add another 5 to 10lbs to his frame.. judging by tonights show i think hes more then ready for the Olympia.

now back to the show.. Fouad got ripped off and we all know it.. as much as i love Ben.P his back and arms needs major improvements and sadly i dont think he deserved 3rd place tonight.. dog me all you want.. im very proud of that he got 3rd i just dont think it was deserved.. just look at his back pics.. these judges are something else i tell you.. just go to some american forums and ull see how shitty people feel about DJ winning.. even he himself knows he was off.. oh well.. REVENGE in Texas baby!!! next week!! Europa show..

First off, Great work Robbie and Thank you to Dayana Cadeu, Isabell Turell, The House and Mark Alvisi for chiming in!

I have to say, that I was taken back when Fouad didn't win this contest?
George Farah said DJ would win and I think this is the First time he's ever been right so he should enjoy this as much as DJ!
That said, I thought Dennis has been much better at alot of different times in his career. I believe he will be the first to tell you he was "Off" if he said he's "On" that would surprise everybody because I dont believe he would believe that tonight!

Fouad on the other hand, was "On" and improved!
Anyone you ask will tell you that he was much better than a year ago and had the "fewest flaws" which collectively, most of us would liek to see that a person like that Win the show.
Tonight, I dont believe that was the case, hence not a lot of good things being said about the Champion on the board which to his credit, is not his fault.
The Europa may bring a different outcome, either way DJ is King James tonight and we should all wish him the very best, as the outcome is in the hands of the Judges not the Athletes, so lets not be too hard on the guy.

Congratulations to both Men for a hard fought contest, your both Champions!

Here is what Fouad had to say tonight to Hany Rambod: http://mdtv.musculardevelopment.com/...view/2242/246/

congrats to both Fouad and Ben P(excellent pro debut for Ben too!) Also looks like Fouad put on alot size since his last show

[69challenger]

:a+Congrats guys!

[ubcpower]

nice, two canadians in the O!

[Ritch]

Man DJ`s stomach is starting to look "kavacish" I don`t understand how the judges can reward this awefull look. Foud looked like the winner. Am very happy Ben White didn`t place any higher...

[canadianmuscle0803]

nice, two canadians in the O!

I doubt Fouad or Ben will be doing the O this year..

[manfreakca]

ben has nice legs and shoulders didnt know much abt him till sat

[natenator]

I doubt Fouad or Ben will be doing the O this year..
Ben def isn't ready for the O. That back needs some major work. I think he got a gift placing 3rd.

[canadianmuscle0803]

Ben def isn't ready for the O. That back needs some major work. I think he got a gift placing 3rd.

agreed.. his back compared to the guys on stage looked like a little boys back..

[canadianmuscle0803]

I still dont get how Fouad never won.. he beats DJ in pretty much every pose, especially from the back.. his conditioning is 10x better as well.. DJ is way over rated. i dont like the video up on rx how they give DJ so much props.. they basically said he ran away with it.. my eyes dont lie most of the time and he honestly should have not won.. i hope Fouad does the Europa next week.

[ironwill]

Great work Ben and Fouad.....way to represent...I like DJs look much better now, and he looked good also....nice to see so many changes in dj, and fouad......

[bigtavi8]

im really sour Fouad placed second but hey its still a pro show and he still got 2nd. Like ppl always say bodybuilding is subjective sport and the judges are the only ones whos opinion really matters. From the pics i think fouad should have taken it but hey bodybuilding has a lot of upsets so oh well. As for the O fouad said earlier this year he wasnt going to attend but you never no..so next week is Europa and shoudl be exciting.

[St]

Two canadian bro placing top 3 is amazing,its just a matter of time for Fouad to win if he can be injury free.

[L3]

gettin R done BOYS!!!
