These guys just talked me in to thinking I have an old bicep tear.

I love how you shared your experiences with anxiety. I can relate and found this really inspiring.

Same. I couldn’t bring my son in the pool at a birthday party because their were too many people in the pool. I tried explaining to my wife she couldn’t understand. Too many eyes on me as soon as my shirt comes off. I’m a work in progress I’ve come to terms with it.

Same here. Lifting actually helped me with it no the other way around.

Crazy I came here for bodybuilding, but now I'm learning how to cope with my anxiety. That part about being in the grocery store is me man, I'm gonna start doing what you said and turn it into a game. Thank you Fouad

Yeah I love the energy he has

“The whole reason I started this podcast is to lift the athlete and sport up” - this is exactly what happened personally. Watching these podcasts have directly caused me to pay more attention to the sport in terms of watching the shows, following the athletes, etc. I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks Fouad is actually such a positive force in this industry.

Thanks Fouad, Luke and every guest that's contributed to this show. Something that has kept us going through all the shit this year. A show that's ment to 50% "bollocks" ends up discussing some of the most important issues. All the best at the next show James bring it home for Luke 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

“You’re old it’s okay” - Seth 😭😂

Shawn Ray has been hurting this sport image for way too long. Fouad, we need you to make a stand for this, you got one of the most valued voices in bodybuilding community as well as huge Hostile team behind you to support, I think we can take this villain down if we all act together.

Agreed. I have nothing bad to say about Shawn Ray as a bodybuilder but as a person he’s a total shit bag that deserves no platform in this sport. The content Fouad puts out is what we’ve needed in the industry for a lonngggg time!

Hearing you guys talk about anxiety has helped me so much, honestly. I remember I bumped into James at muscle works orpington in the changing room and he spoke to me as if he knew me, so humble man.

Fouad your amazing brother. All my favorite people in one place. You have been sending out new episodes like twice a day. You 100% deserve more subscribers but over time they will come! Keep killing it bro.

Haha Yesterday i was thinking „will seth ever be back again?!“ and there he isssss

This reminded me of the podcast you did with Luke and Seth right at the beginning of the pandemic and Luke was fanboy-ing throughout.. I think that was the one where he was going on about McDonald's too 😂 missing the big man! 🙏❤️

For someone who suffers with anxiety because I come from an abusive background. Thank you for being so honest and open it’s so inspiring 🙏🏼

Loving the frequent uploads, can never have too much James! Any plans to get CBum on here, since Iain is practically a bro now?

Fouad & Paul commentery show Hell yeah! 😎💪🔥💯

Just when you think you can't love Hollingshead more...damn. Feroce is awesome as well. Fouad...this was the best episode to date.

I'm only 36 minutes into the episode and I think I can already say this is my favorite episode of all. Thank you so much for being so candid and open talking about the depths of your anxiety. I have never related so much to anyone talking about anxiety as I have in the last few minutes, so I appreciate it like you wouldn't imagine. Loved the idea of treating anxiety attacks like you're in a game and not wanting to lose the game, like challenging yourself to beat that Motherfucker! Gonna give it a try myself 💪🏼. Thanks again for all that you do. 💯🙏🏼

I’ve been stacking muscles on injuries since probably 16 🤣 glad to know we all do it. I only hurt when I slack off haha

Fouad. Thank you very much for discussing what is perceived as weakness. You’re one of the best interviewer on KZread. Big fan of this channel.

Well there we go. Fouad and Paul commentators for the upcoming Olympia!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I watched every single podcast Fouad ever put out ever since that podcast he did on anxiety so long ago....i always thought something was soo wrong with me for having anxiety at 21 years old an it was comforting to see bodybuilders who I thought were larger than life an at a point I would never reach also deal with the same struggle as me

I am happy that my timing on watching this particular episode landed on today. You're doing great things, Fouad! Thank you for holding down the fort, despite Luke's absence. I know he's proud

James is such a fascinating individual, you can tell he's a deep thinker, I love to hear his insight and thought process on shit.

For men it’s one thing to deal with anxiety but to talk about it is near impossible. So to see you 3 talk about it on such a big platform, helps us out quite a lot.

Bodybuilding, Bollocks and Beards!!! Always love it when Seth makes an appearance. The channel just keeps getting better. 👍

Thank you for all the frequent uploads. Something to watch before bed and for breakfast. Your the best brother Fouad

I look forward to these videos every day and learnt so much since I started watching, thanks Fouad 👊

So amazing to hear you guys speak about anxiety. Btw, when the andrenline is released that causes a panic attack it takes your liver over an hour to break it down so you got to learn to ride it out.

I can’t believe how much I relate to what y’all talked about with anxiety. This helped a lot

Love it when Seth is on with you, I’ve suffered with slight anxiety since my brain injury but I’ve used the counting down technique a lot or I count my breathing to help calm me. Cheers for sharing your experiences guys

Pumping out the podcasts day after day 💪🏻 hell yea!

Praying James wins the British

I’m not sure if any of you guys will see this but I’ve really been struggling with myself and I can’t even begin to express how perfect this podcast was. I watch everything you post but this one truly impacted me. It’s 3 am over here and I should be sleeping for class but you guys really gave me that little lift I needed when I felt my lowest. Sending love to you all!

Man I have kidney issues with stones and tumors in my bladder and as someone who has had to self catheter before I can’t express how much respect I have for James right now. That’s incredible brother and just goes to show how powerful one can be when we set our minds to something. I’ve been feeling the weight of the world lately and I really needed to hear the anxiety/mental issues part of this show. Thank you for your honesty and again James well done brother. 💪🏻

I killed shoulders this morning with your video from yesterday. Got home and there’s a new post workout video. Love it. Stay healthy!

One of the best episodes yet. Full range of emotions!

I love you man, great job putting together these meetings.

You're pure gone Hoss. The podcasts are amazing. No matter the mix of people you have on its great. I can feel the pure honesty that's spoken. No one says things they don't actually think. Love it

Another great show Fouad. Suffering with anxiety issues is no joke! You and the guys discussing how you feel and cope with such daily issues is helping a lot of people who are dealing with very similar problems. Keep up the great work!

Thank you Fouad, this help my anxiety a lot, please talk more about anxiety and mental health.

fouad i love this upload time. its in time for me getting ready for my day and great to listen too while i do that. great podcast as usual!

Love listening to your podcasts while getting ready in the morning ❤️. Funny and informative

Found you have been killing it with the podcasts man, keep em coming

Favorite 3 guys on KZread and very real chat on anxiety for many of us. Just yesterday I was struggling with the line at the supermarket.

All the motivational videos on one hand..and this video on the other....This has motivated me much more than those...thank you guys...you all rock

Excellent show.....By talking about Life’s challenges, you help so many that might be going through the same struggles and let’s them know they are not Freaks, it’s just life....Fouad and Seth are the Poster Boys on Staying Big, enjoying Bodybuilding, and enjoying Life after the Stage. ..A lot of People when they are done with the Stage, give up the Life Style and get small or Fat...You two are showing us ( Who are getting Older) that we can still look good, feel good, and continue the Life we love and be Healthy...Good Job.

Seth and James are both such humble down to earth guys i loved every minute of this podcast. Hearing about the struggles you've all had with anxiety really hit home. Always so inspired by these. Thank you for amazing content as always Fouad

Incredible. You keep on uploading new videos daily!! Thank you Fouad, your hard work is very much appreciated!!!

My favorite podcast by far. So real. Awesome topics. Genuine conversation. Keep up the incredible work Fouad!

nice podcast guys! i relate so much to the anxiety. always thought it was just small anxiety that i’ve dealt with forever, but when i went to college it got so much worse. panic attacks at school, in line at the store, in line at a drive thru, in restaurants. anywhere where i felt “trapped.” ended up going to therapy and taking medication because it was something i couldn’t control. the gym is the only place where i don’t feel anxious at all, and the one thing that keeps me straight is perfecting my meals and training every day. glad you guys are so open about it, it’s definitely something not many want to open up about it. appreciate that!

This one really hit home for me. I've suffered from extreme social anxiety my entire life, I'm 32 now and still struggle with it every day. Definitely appreciate you sharing your experiences and keeping it real.

This is such an important conversation, and not just for lifters. It is really great to hear others talk about things, like James and his incontinence issue. It takes a lot to speak about this stuff.

I honestly enjoy this type of interview learning about the athletes themselves and less the bodybuilding aspect. It realllly adds an aspect of relatability to people. Respect!

Dude what a breath of fresh air this podcast is. Thank you

Fouad, its really kind of you to open up and show us that side of you. I sometimes forget others deal with this shit too and its almost a breath of freesh air to hear that someone I hold to such a high merit has it as well.

Thanks for the good discussion you three. You guys are making a positive impact on many lives.

Fouad, the diversity for your show is why I think your the best. I have anxiety issues so I really can relate. Again, Thank You

Man what a great podcast! This type of information doesn't get talked about enough, really appreciate the honesty

Respect for your honesty Fouad. You are a real example for many 🙏💪

Fouad, im watching you from Portugal, and i think that are doing the best job (in my opinion)to promote bodybilding, the things tou say the conversations you have, and all the advices you give FOR FREE, it is amazing to me. Many thanks from the bottom heart!!!!wish you the best and keep up with the great job. I admire you a lot you are an example and inspiration for me.

You guys are amazing people. There’s nothing better than the transparency and honesty you bring to this sport and industry, and the life lessons reach way beyond just this industry. I am a relatively new fan of the sport, having lifted for 20 years and paid a little attention to the greats like Arnold, Ronnie, and Jay through the years. What you are bringing to the table now is exponentially breathing new life into this sport. As for the live streams, if they were cheaper ($10), and far better quality, with better commentators (for instance, you) that can educate and bring transparency to the shows, then you’d see hundreds of thousands of people become fans, buy the streams, and get more involved.

Thanks for sharing some information about issues with anxiety. For those who have never experienced this can help them understand. Ive suffered from anxiety for a long time and this was helpful to hear

I had the exact same issues with anxiety. Doesn't get any easier, you just keep getting stronger.

Yes, Seth is back. 💪🏻 Must be a good episode!

So glad I clicked on the video, alpha blokes like them open up a bit about anxiety definitely needed to hear that today!

Really enjoy the open discussion about anxiety. Finding it quite cathartic.

Damm brother...I really loved this episode.... Just everything about it .. Can't wait for part 2

I really enjoyed this podcast, as I too suffer from anxiety...like so many do...but it's nice to hear that I am not alone. I do have to say James has such a strong mind and would be a great life coach as well as bodybuilding. Seth is always great to have on the show too. Thanks for the topic, the struggle is real.

So much of the anxiety talk is relatable! Especially the 'when did it start' question! For me I think it's just something that built up from a young age and I was able to hide away and avoid things enough that I was just considered a quiet kid. Weirdly enough the thing that's helped me in my late 20's is the gym, it's the one place I feel confident and I'm fairly comfortable even when it's busy. I'm still the kind of person that avoids busy places and plans everything but it's a work in progress.... Also for most of my life I assumed absolutely everyone experienced anxiety to the level that I did, I just couldn't comprehend that other people weren't worrying the way I was. Always appreciate the honesty!!! ^.^

Really appreciate all your work, Fouad. keep 'em coming!

Seth makes a great point the 3rd person is the person that connects what the competitor and the judge say

I don't count to any specific number but when my anxiety kicks in I just start taking deep slow breathes until I feel ok again. Thanks for talking about real shit you guys go through. 💪

crushing it again! awesome group of awesome ppl with awesome topics 💪🏻

This was one of the best episodes ever, thanks guys🙏

The anxiety talk is amazing just what we need to talk about. Seths height issue I feel the same it’s a big insecurity of mine as well. Great podcast once again 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Anything with Seth in is going to be awesome and this podcast certainly was!

Part 2 tomorrow 🤘 thanks Fouad, appreciate everything you do for bodybuilding.

Just want to say how cool it is that Fouad was so open about his struggles with anxiety. Did a two year stint with that myself and until you do, you don't really understand. What fixed it for me was a book by Lucinda Bassett and a statement she made which became my mantra when I would have an attack..."The fear is real, the danger is not". Helped me face my fears and I've used it ever since!

Brilliant, absolutly brilliant. Thanx Fouad.

So glad when I get a new notification for your videos!!!

This podcast has helped me so much to know even you guys have anxiety and everything else

Fouad this podcast helped me immensely. I've been training since I was 14 (mostly powerlifting) and now I'm 31 and into bodybuilding. What you said about the shoulder feeling "tired" is something I've experienced for YEARS and never got an answer on. 3 months ago I injured that shoulder and assumed it was the heavy bench sets (I hit a new PR with 5 plates). Now I realize I probably beat it into the ground a long time ago and it was just waiting to go. Thanks for the info man, keep it up!

Great episode, especially about the self acceptance, I think we all strive for greatness, we are never satisfacted thats why we will be never able to accept our own flows, so there are 2 sides of a coin, it drives us harder, but it aswell brngs us alilttle down.

I have been following seth for a while now. I found you when seth same on the podcast with you and luke. bro you guys are great i appreciate all the content you guys put out. real dudes talking about real shit not being douchebags like most of what i see on social media. thanks again

Great talk!!! I really needed this been feeling horrible lately.

Brilliant show can't wait for part 2 💪

Fouad has reached the next level and discovered mindset, positive self talk and will soon begin to talk like Kai Greene!!! I’ve been following bodybuilding since I was 9 and never thought I’d gain more than just physical strength but infinitely more positive life growth with my favorite bodybuilders. I suffer with anxiety as well and force myself to face it. Thank you for the encouragement and strength to help!!! I’m 50 now and still hoping to become a pro. If you can see it you can be it!!!

Legendary podcast ! Long may it continue!

This upload speed is phenomenal. Also Seth on here seems so different from his own podcast not a bad thing still love listening to the guy

This was a great one my man !!! U guys make this real thx u about all topics!!!! Thx u keep it up my man

Awesome conversation. I’ve never competed but Im 38 and have been lifting for 15 yrs. It all about the process! I live in Maine and its lean bulk with high volume winters and a nice cut come spring with functional fitness through the summer. Rinse and repeat. Waking up and going through the same motions everyday keeps you motivated! Theres zero excuses to ever give up and become a lazy slob. My wife always says “ working on that “Dad bod”?”

What a line up 💪🏻💯

Just an amazing episode today!

Can’t wait for part 2

This might be my favourite BB&B trio. Top show.

Thanks for all the great content Fouad!

British people will understand how funny it was when Seth said “basket case” 🤣🤣

Luv the topics, Always seem to get a lot out of them about myself.

3 great men and pros. Great watch lads.
