What Happened At The Arnold Classic?

Well the ASC is over and I have been getting tons of emails and people asking me what happened and why I didn’t bring it the way I did at the FLEX. It’s a pretty simple answer: My body just wouldn’t respond. After the FLEX I had a couple days of shoots and then flew home to get back to work. On the Tuesday I decided not to train legs because I had been flying the day before and felt I was still a little dehydrated from the shoots and show, I trained arms Tuesday and saved legs for Wednesday.

When Wednesday came around I was feeling pretty good so I thought time to smash legs! We got in there and I had nagging pain in my hip from a week before the FLEX that was still kind of there but not too serious. I ignored it and kept blasting through sets, we did four sets of Lying Leg Curls, Leg Extensions, Leg Press and then Squats. I was feeling great and the pump in my legs was incredible. The pain in my hip was minimal and I was feeding off the motivation from the FLEX show while squatting. On the last set of squats, on the last rep I got down in the hole and on the way up I felt something pop in my left TFL (small muscle just above your outer sweep). My spotter grabbed me and we pushed to the top together but on the way up it popped again. I knew it was bad but I also knew I had the ASC in a week and a half. I couldn’t do anymore quad but I burnt through about eight more sets for hamstrings and then got home. After icing and seeing Alvin Brown (my therapist) the diagnosis was a strained TFL. It was a little bruised and discolored but not bad.

My main concern was cardio; I only do the stepmill so I wasn’t sure how that was going to feel. The next day came and I did my cardio, kind of limping through it but I got 50min in and felt good. I couldn’t train legs again before the ASC but I did do all my cardio. Anything heavy was too much of a strain on it but I was hoping the volume would be there come show time….it wasn’t fully but I think it held up ok. Not really what I was hoping for at the biggest show of my life.

Anyway, when I got to Columbus things kind of snowballed from there. I couldn’t really get myself filled out at all. Hany and I worked on many different things from Wednesday to Saturday trying to get my body to fill out but nothing would work. I would eat a meal and my weight would go up a couple pounds, I would look kind of full and then an hour or two later the weight would just drop again. I ate upwards of 700-800g of carbs on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and my body just wouldn’t absorb any of the carbs. I just chalked it up to my body being tired from the long diet and double shows even though I have done them before.

To top it all off I did my food shopping in Columbus on Thursday morning after running out of the food I brought from home. This was always the plan, bring some food and then when you run out buy the rest and eat it fresh leading into the show. I bought my Tenderloin at a farmers market near by, it was very fresh and tasted great. The chicken I bought from a Kroger grocery store with some other things I needed. When I got back to the hotel I cooked a bunch of food and packed it up. I headed out to the athletes meeting and fan meet and greet with my chicken and potato. I ate the chicken and sweet potato and it tasted a little funny (not bad just different). The next morning I had the chicken again with regular potato and then I realized what the different taste was. The chicken was salty! It was pumped full of shit and sodium and I had no clue. I thought fresh chicken was fresh chicken but apparently that’s not the case! Some of the ‘fresh’ chicken at Kroger is pumped full of sodium and preservatives and when your on a carb load where every last bit of sodium, sugar, water, anything is measured, this can really throw a wrench into things!

About midday on Friday Hany took a look at me and I was watered over; I all of a sudden looked smooth. The sodium from the chicken really messed things up and the look I had was gone and never really came back. Before the chicken I ate I had a grainy look to my skin and even though we were having problems filling out at least I was grainy and shredded. Now after basically sodium loading with that chicken we were now flat and smooth because of the water retention.

It really was just one thing after another throughout the entire time from the FLEX to the ASC and it was no ones fault. Hany did everything he could do and I didn’t mess with anything or cheat on my diet, it was just a few hiccups that couldn’t be remedied in time. From the injury to the chicken it was a roller coaster ride.

I don’t like to make excuses for anything that’s why I didn’t say anything before the show. Now that the show is over and I have had a whole bunch of people ask me what went wrong I felt it was a good time and good place to get it all out so people knew that I wasn’t at my best and its not because I’m lazy. I have attached a shot for you all to see what I looked like before we started carb loading. I was flat but things were where they needed to be. Just goes to show how perfect things have to be for it to all come together.

Sorry to all my fans for the let down, I know we were riding high after the FLEX and it was a far drop from there but I promise you all we will get there again! Its all part of the journey and the next Fouad you all see on stage will be bigger and badder than the one you saw at the FLEX - you can bank on that!

Fouad Abiad: The Next Big Push

by Fouad Abiad on May 1, 2011

It was a tough week last week: I came down with a cold that moved to my chest...definitely shitty. So I sat out the second half of the training week and this week I have been treading lightly. I know when you go hardcore in the gym it really gets at your immune system so I decided to train but take it easy so I can let my body take care of this cold. The last thing I want is it dragging on and lingering around affecting my training for longer than need be.

It’s been about two months since the Arnold and I have been training with rest in mind. The volume in the workouts is down, while the rest and food is up. I also really have been heavy on the cleansing supps and anti-oxidants so my body can really heal after a long 18 weeks of dieting (16 weeks for the Flex + 2 weeks for the ASC). Things like green tea, pomegranate juice, and berries of all kinds are the types of foods I have added more of lately.

Since we’re now just under 20 weeks for the Mr. Olympia it’s that time again. My body has had a nice long rest and better yet my mind has had one too. I have taken some time to get my social time in and spend some time with girlfriend, friends and family. I try never to take the smaller things in life for granted because those are the things you miss most when your dieting.

Anyway I am looking at starting the big push to the O but first comes my health. I hit up my doctor last week and did a full physical: Blood work, glucose tests, adrenal function, cholesterol…name it, I’m testing for it. This is nothing new, I do this twice a year to make sure everything is functioning properly and my body is ready for another grueling 16 weeks. I’ll find out at the end of this week if I’m good to go and then its time to get to work.


My goal this year is to be in the top ten at the Olympia. I know I have the potential to be there when I’m at my best. Over the course of the last couple months and this month coming up I’ve been working at getting more roundness to my arms. I think this is one of the things that will really change my physique and there’s no reason I can’t make it happen.

In 2006 people wrote me off and said, “he’s aesthetically pleasing but has no size,” then in 2008-9 they said, “he’s got an upper body to stand with anyone but no legs and no calves.” Now in 2011 they say, “he’s got small arms.” Not a problem, I love the constructive criticism and thrive on knowing that when I am focused and I push myself I can accomplish anything. I put on the size, I smashed legs and calves (a bodypart people write off when not born with it) until I forced them to grow and now they want arms. I can understand that, it’s an arm-dominated generation, Heath, Greene, Centopani, Winklaar and the list goes on; they all have massive arms. I am constantly changing and whether it comes at this years Mr. Olympia or next year’s FLEX Pro, you are gonna see without a doubt a version of Hoss with arms that belong at the top!

I’ll leave you with this. The word ‘decision’ comes from the Latin term ‘to cut.’ The reason they gave the word decision that meaning is because when you make a decision you make a clean cut from everything else. For example, I have made the decision to have bigger arms; I have cut all other possibilities out of the equation. There is no option to that goal, there is nothing else I am committed to, I have made a decision that this WILL happen. How long it takes is a formality; in my mind, I’m already carrying 23’s off each shoulder…

It’s been a good week for me. I’ve really turned things up in my training and am starting to get really excited about the Olympia. This Saturday is 19 weeks out and I’m starting my diet at 16 weeks, so its getting closer and closer to that time again where M&M’s will no longer be a part of my life…shitty.

Bodybuilding has really given me everything in life when it comes to material things and also in things that are really immeasurable. Sure I like my car, my condo, I have all the clothes I could want but there is so much more bodybuilding has given me that can’t be seen or felt.

I’ll take you guys back to the scene I’m sure some of you have dealt with in your life. I’m 16 years old, in high school and the assignment is to write a speech and get up in front of the class and recite it; an anxious moment to say the least. It sucked and I was terrified but I got through it, not the right way though. I would get up in front of the class look down at my cue cards and never look up again as I read through my speech as fast as possible till I was done…lol

Fast-forward 16 years, I’m 32 years old now and have had a lot of great experiences because of bodybuilding. It has really taught me to be confident, to believe in myself, that anything can be achieved when focused on hard enough. So last week at the Belleville Health and Fitness Expo I faced my biggest fear since I was in high school…public speaking.

still_5-10-11.jpg I gave my first seminar last week and aside from a jittery first few minutes I actually had a lot of fun with it. There was 20-30 people there, not a big crowd but big enough to make it worth it. I didn’t want to talk about myself too much so I opened it up to questions relatively early. I wanted the people there to have their questions answered. Anyway, 60min later the seminar had flown by and it was one of the greatest personal accomplishments of my career, not to mention I had a lot of fun with it and it felt to help people starting out.

I guess the point of the story is we all go through challenges in our lives. To us, those things seem bigger than anyone else can imagine, so big that they seem impossible at times to overcome. What I have learned through different experiences in the bodybuilding world is the old cliché: You have to face your fears head on! Every time you avoid something you know you should be doing, you are letting your fears take just one more piece of your life from you.

Challenge yourself, think and be outside your comfort zone and you will feel better about yourself. There subconsciously is a draining effect when you take a pass on big moments in your life just because you are scared to take them on. Every negative feeling stems from a fear somewhere inside us. The way to overcome these fears is to take them on one pound or one step at a time. No one loses 50lbs overnight, they lose a pound here and a pound there until they’ve reached the other side their mountain. The same thing applies to mass gaining or strength; no one goes in the gym and squats 500lbs on their first day so why do we expect ourselves to do that in everyday life? Give yourself the time you need to accomplish smaller goals and one day you’ll look back and the mountain that were facing will all of a sudden be behind you. One day, one meal, one rep at a time…

Later this week, in his VIDEO BLOG, Fouad will feature a selection from his seminar!

quel physique ! sacré masse bien decoupé.

trés impressionant cette thérapy basé sur le plasma et surtout les plaquettes du sang (son propre sang c'est mieux)! Quelqu'un connaissait il ce genre de traitement ? Nous verrons (je l'espére) quelles seront les resultats sur les tendons de ce "pauvre" fouad car apprement c'était assez hardcore.
