I am sure it would, and i hope he also comes back over this way for our support as well...

[canadianmuscle0803]

^ ill make sure he does :)

[ironwill]

It sure is nice having them join in on the board, we can all learn from a guy like Fouad, he didnt start out a huge guy, but he is making huge strides the last few yrs...
Its nice to hear guys like him, Ron Partlow, etc have to say and can offer up a lot of insight to some of us that aspire to compete at any level...
Plus id bet they would get some clients from here to train...Im sure they are pretty full, i have selfish motives, i wanna learn more dammit...:)

Don't tease :)

It would be really great to see Fouad become part of CBB. This sites name alone goes hand in hand with all he's achieved.

I'm sure it would but he has to market himself and frankly him being on sites like MD and BB.com offer him a greater opportunity to connect with fans and promote himself than CBB. He's got to look after himself and try to market himself as much as possible. More popularity = more $$$. It's really quite simple.

I wish Canadians would stop bashing him for thinking about his financial future.

really quite simple???

opportunity to connect with fans ??? who do you think was supporting him before he was Pro?? Canadian and NOT american....

and by the way i was not bashing him!

I've watched Fouad achieve his goals since he appeared on the old cjm while I was admin there. I think that was 2003 or 2004. Throughout the years he's been steadily gaining popularity and doing some big shows.

I agree with nate that the US is a bigger pond with a lot more $$$ involved.

If Fouad wants to be a part of CBB and post up when he has time, he'll always be more than welcome. A lot of us have been rooting for him all these years and whether he becomes a part of CBB or not does not change the fact that he's achieving the dream many of us have or had. Hats off to you Fouad.

[canadianmuscle0803]

he just joined not long ago.. do you realize how busy Fouad's schedule is especially when getting ready for a show??? he doesn't even have time for family and friends and you think he would have time to post often on a forum?

[Mr.Freeze]

if he as time to post on MD(US board) he should have some time for
CBB(Canadian board) too, no?

[MuSuLPhReAk]

MD might have him under contract.

[canadianmuscle0803]

he has his own section on MD.. im guessing he gets paid for that.

[Mr.Freeze]

if soo, then we will never see him again over here.

[Tiamat]

Time will tell. I really do hope he shows up on CBB though.

[canadianmuscle0803]

if soo, then we will never see him again over here.

your getting overly touchy about this issue.. im more then positive you will see Fouad post again..

[Mr.Freeze]

your the guy who started this thread not me so...

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Haha. We're going to fight over Fouad? If so, I want his lats. They're better than mine :D

[canadianmuscle0803]

LOL

[Mr.Freeze]

not fighting over Fouad, its just i dont understand why we should leave the house(CBB) to go on a american board to support him when hes canadian and should be posting on canadian board. Yeah sure theres more money to make in the state but you should never forget were you come from so thats why
he should be posting on both side.

no one told you to LEAVE cbb!! its just a good thread they have going over there where you can ask him questions that he will answer, although i do get your point.. trust me Fouad has not forgotten his roots bro..

[phatkid77]

A. HES GETTING PAID
B. HES GETTING MORE EXPOSURE...

easy enough if u ask me

and i m guessing instead of spending 10hrs a day on puter....hes actually working out...lol

[UkrainianGuy]

MD might have him under contract.

he is not under contract at this time.

[ironwill]

I wish foudaddy the best of luck at the europa.....bring it home big fella...

I don't believe he has even announced if he is doing the show yet.??

i believe he will do it, because he has a photoshoot in Dallas this week.. more then likely he will be doing it.. if he does do it, hes a lock to win..

[ironwill]

i talk to people to you know....lol...are you his manager:ht......??
jk, jk.....i heard he will be doing it... we are friends with some of his fellow competitors from the wknd....so id like to wish him best of luck.....

[canadianmuscle0803]

awesome news!!!!!!

[ironwill]

it could be bs........i am hoping though because imo, if he was a tad tighter, he will look even better.......i hope that is his game-plan.....

I'm curious... what exactly could have been better on him that dropping a couple lbs will accomplish?

[ironwill]

I just looked at them again on my new comp....he looks much better, i wrote while i was on an old comp and for some reason he looked a bit puffy in the front and blurred in some poses....Hell....... who am i to criticize a dude thats accomplished what he has in our sport....he looks great......
I Think DJ looked great as well.......he has made improvements as of late...

FA News just in ..



.......... You know how it is though, there is no quit, just gotta come back bigger and better. No Vegas for me this year, next time I hit Vegas we'll be standing side by side!

[Timbo89]

Fouad has a good X frame and great back. I think if he can bring his legs up he will have a very bright future. I know he is working on them, its probably just a stubborn bodypart for him. I think he has potential spewing out his ears.

injuries more than anything is what hindered him this year despite training them twice a week. The other part of the problem is while his legs were a large focus of his training this offseason his upper body seemed to grow in proportion at the same time which kinda defeated the purpose of working extra hard on the legs lol

[canadianmuscle0803]

FA News just in ..

who was he replying to here? is he talking about standing next to DJ next year?

[Drummer]

I wouldnt hold my breath. He is busy with his life, and prolly has no interest spending time answering questions. Would be nice for him to stop in once in a while and thank us for the support and compliments tho.

~D~

[UkrainianGuy]

that exerpt was taken off another board..

[C.Cruise]

He was referring to "standing next to" Evan Centopani. As Evan was the person to make the original comment about how he should have won the tampa.

[bigtavi8]

Fouad said hes taking 10-12 months to bulk and no shows until sept 2010...He sed he needs to gain more mass so hes not second tier BB...so hes back to the offseason for a while and no Olympia in his sights it looks like..
