Fouad Abiad Media

Hosted by Fouad Abiad

A roundtable talk show where a retired IFBB pro and his peers give an unfiltered look at the week's bodybuilding news, training, and industry drama.

The brief

This is a talk show for the hardcore bodybuilding community, hosted by veteran pro Fouad Abiad and a regular cast of co-hosts. Episodes are long-form, unscripted video conversations that feel like listening in on a private chat between industry insiders. They cover current competition news, athlete health, training philosophies, and the business of the sport, often with a mix of serious discussion and locker-room humor.

The show's "Bro Chat" format with a rotating panel of active and former pro bodybuilders creates a candid, peer-to-peer dynamic that's different from a typical interview show. The length (often 2+ hours) and frequency allow for deep dives into timely news and controversies as they happen.
