Whats going on everyone, its been a while since my last post but I am back to work now so you can expect weekly posts. I have to tell you they might not be as interesting in the offseason but at least it will give you some insight into the life of an IFBB Pro.
I have finally started my offseason prep for my next season. I still am unsure about which shows I plan on doing, I need to bring up my legs and that might take a little while. I have a few minor injuries that I have been dealing with and knee problems that have arisen from doing heavy sloppy movements. This year I am not focused on the weight but more focused on the rep speed and range of motion. I have been training with this new method for about a month now and I have really noticed soreness and good pain in places where I really need it. It doesn't look as good in the gym but if in the end it produces results than so be it.
I trained quads this morning about to go back for hams and calves. This was my quad workout:
Leg Press - 7 X 10-25
Hack Squat - 5 X 15
Vertical Leg Press - 4 X 12
Leg Extension - 4 X 15
I have been trying to add more volume and keep the reps a little higher when training my lower body. I feel my legs more and feel they get more work when the reps are on the higher end. I have never really trained this way in the past so it may be the key to unlocking the growth in my legs that I need.
Well that's all for now, I will hit you back soon.

Hey Hoss, you are one of (if not the) best looking, symmetrical and asthetic bodybuilders out there. Thanks for this blog and all power to you.

Hey Fouad:
It was hard to see you sit out the Olympia this year but looking forward to what you have in store for us this season.
What is it with you and your modesty though??? Your on the cover of MD!!!! Way to go big guy...
Fouad,
I was wondering if I could get an email contact for you. I'm with GetGasp.com and had some intrest in getting a banner and link to our website up on your blog page. My email is Brent@fitgr.com it's understandable that you might not want to post yours on here. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Fouad,
I shure that your new training system causes great results.
More reps stimulates other muscle fibres and you will be suprised about your improvements.
Your strengh will be better and your muscle growth higher.

P.S. Your back photo at the Dez 2009 MD issue is amazing.
