Okay, I know I haven't been around for a while and I guess I must apologize for not being better to those of you who do take the time to read my blog. Its been an offseason riddled with speed bumps and I have been doing my best to stay strong and control my destiny. I really feel after all I have been through in my bodybuilding life that if you want something bad enough you will jump any hurtle to achieve your dream.
Here is a short recap of the last few months. I was sick with the flu/brochitus/cold from Dec 15 thru Jan 15. That month really halted my progress, after that I was able to regain most of my size but was still having issues with my joints. Back in March I started seeing Adam Bogar of Dynamic Nutrition in Burlington and since then we have been scraping, massaging, beating up, raking and whatever other term you want to use for the treatments on my elbows and knees. It has been fun to say the least.
I know when its written out it doesn't sound that bad but it has been tough and that brings us to today. To say it bluntly.....I AM KILLING IT! I am weighing in at a lean 295lbs and am the leanest I have ever been at this weight with almost a full six pack showing. I am still working with Hany Rambod and we seem to understand each other better so working together is really making things pop!
My workouts have become a mix of Hany's FST-7 program and my own training that got me to where I am today. I believe that the addition of some of Hany's techniques is really changing my physique to bring my package to the next level. Just so you have an idea what I'm talking about here is an example. Hany usually like the '7' set to be done at the end of the workout, I have found that for me it is best utilized as the exercise that works for me best. So if doing legs I feel squats the most I will do 7 sets there and then move on to the next thing.
Diet wise we were trying to hit the 300lb mark with the same shape I have now but 300lbs lean doesn't come easy. I never did get there so its going to have to wait because I have dropped the hammer and begun to diet. I have a few guest posing appearances coming up (Bahamas, Florida and BC) and I want to make sure I look sharp for all of them. I appreciate all of my fans and I feel it would be wrong of me to not come in a little sharper since they are there partly to see me. The diet is going to be simple, chicken, steak, rice, potato that's it! Eat, train, sleep, grow oh and somewhere in there I have cardio to do so I can grow and get lean at the same time!
I am working on a routine for my appearances and I always welcome any ideas any of my fans want to give me. If you get an ideas for great songs to pose to, hit me with them at fouadabiad@gmail.com.
Lastly I want to congratulate Billy Pope on a job well done dieting, he wasn't a full time client of mine, he's pretty smart on his own, but with a little help he looked awesome at his show and qualified for the Ontario show. My other clients are all doing awesome I have a few getting ready for sudbury who should be coming in great shape with one being a Super Heavy Weight! and all the others will be at the Canadian Nationals in August. Who knows, watch out Hany, I might become the Pro Creator of the north..lol. I have some great guys and girls heading to Saskatchewan and I am looking for some cards and hardware for them!
Ok thats it for now, like I said I just started dieting so as those of you who followed my blogs before I can get a little crazy as the cravings set in....check back for updates and until then always remember....
SACRIFICE WITHOUT REGRET!!!
