ANDREW JACKED IN THE TOP 5? | Fouad Abiad, Iain Valliere, Mike Van Wyck, Paul Lauzon | Bro Chat  

My theory is, Fouad won't ever move to Texas because he couldn't leave Paul

“I think vacuums look like shit on everyone I’m a rib cage with pecs”😂😂😂😂 I love Mike

Luke's vacuum was something else. He had shield shaped lats with a broad rib cage and the perfect amount of vacuum

Can’t wait to see Iain impress everyone at this years Olympia. Absolute champion

Best bodybuilding podcast, awesome chemistry between you four.

😂 The "dear leader" intro to Paul's prayers just cracks me up every time

It's a great day when Bro Chat comes on!

Word is Justin is still whining about sams diet as everyone else jokes around.

1:26 - Mike Van Wyck always looking aimlessly around the room 😂

I was bummed when Justin left the pod, same when Guy stopped showing up. But regardless, RBP always hits it out of the park with their combination of guests and I look forward to every episode the same as even the old ones.

Mini spin-off with Paul under the RBP channel, titled “High-times w Paul Lauzon”

Haha! Scott Herman and Omar Isuf were two of the first guys that got me into working out, I eventually found Mark Bell and got into powerlifting, then i found Stan efferding and then John Meadows. After 4-5 years of training I fell in love with bodybuilding for the last 2 years or so.

Always feel great after a chat with the bros

Love this group! I look forward to these every week. Thank you!! This was great timing for cardio today. 4 weeks to go! Round 2.

I think their goal will be to get a top 5 spot, and have the rest of the year to work and to improve. Don't forget Andrew, since turning Pro, never really had the time to bring his body up. It's just thanks to the fact that he has great genetics that HE DID improve a bit size wise. Having a full year off is the key.

I've said this in the comments before & I'll say it again, "We need Iain as a physique judge when his competitve days are done and if he wants too".....I really respect his opinions on physiques, he is unbiased and fair in his assessments.

Fouad... I couldn't believe you said Bancroft. Brought back some old memories when I'd drive from Barrie to Pembroke in my college days. Always drove through Bancroft. Great channel. Awesome job. Watching from Japan.

Guy leaving the podcast has been one of the best things to ever happen, sooo much more enjoyable and easier to watch without him screaming nonsense for attention every 5 seconds

Andrew is an anamoly in the Open division. He has a classic physique waist with a s@#$ ton of muscle on a 6'3" frame. Every show he enters, he will STAND OUT. Walker, Lunaford and Choopan look like science experiments but at the Olympia they continue to place higher than Andrew.

The prayers at the end are slowly becoming my favourite. Absolutely hilarious but also VERY wholesome seeing the friendship. Warms my heart!

I still have tough time seeing Andrew in the Too 4, Prior I had 5-7 being Brandon, Hunter, Andrew (in any order). But now I think he can get into the #5 spot for sure. I understand that Hunter is one of the best bodybuilders in the world but personally I’ve never seen what other people see in his physique, but that might just be a me thing.

This is the best Bro Chat crew. The gold standard. This pod has never been better.

The only time I want to see a vacuum is when my lady is using it to make our house clean

Hell yah thanks Iain for asking my joint question😂 I really connect with Paul being a stoner too and those donut joints he was talking about are incredible

Paul's heart is so pure man 😂 He just likes what he likes

So, I was actually at the Texas Pro. I took to heart what Fouad and the crew were saying in an episode about that you cannot comment on these shows based on pictures and video, that you have to see these guys in person. Boy were you guys right. Hunter looked so much better in person than he does on the internet. It was a really close show in person, and Hunters back blew away Andrews. I think Hiunter lost the show from his posing conditioning fading through the posing rounds. Andrew won fair and square, but it was sooo much closer in person than the AJ dickriders on the internet make it seem

“ What’s Paul doing? is Paul smoking a joint ? “ As I hit my joint 😂😂😂😂.

Lou Ferrigno is famous for portraying The Hulk as well

Thanks for the podcast Fouad. Big love, kindest regards, Richard U.K

I dont like vacuums, for me you're hiding the abs which is a part of your physique. Only few people can have their abs visible while hitting a vacuum.

2 hours of quality bodybuilding content. Let's go boys, it's gonna be a great day!

I’m not a fan of vacuum poses, especially from the front. From the side I could perhaps see it, but that ab definition from Andrew is where it’s at. Abs have been an afterthought for too long, finally someone brings it back as a feature point to tie in the whole physique.

I would think about flying out to Canada to just get a few sessions with Mike to see how fucked up my training is. Great episode gents

Lol I love Mike’s slick ass comments. My brother saw blessing and Brett 2 days ago training at revive and he said the same thing about blessing. He said it’s nuts!

Fellas, have any of you seen Netflix’s “Hall of Shame” yet? I imagine it make for some good convo with Milos 😉

Shoutout Scott Herman lol crazy they didn’t know who he is

I don't know why, but this bro chat is so addictive 😂

Heyyy back to back days! Good to see you guys

Four guys. One cottage.

Robby Robinson and Brian Buchanan had great vacuums

Fouad, Thank you so much for having Mike as a regular on the podcast! He is such a great addition to the crew.

Can we get an episode of Paul reviewing weed strains and edibles. For all the smokers❤

Andrew's front double bi w those abs is arguably the best we've ever seen. Literally a picturesque statue. Hunter's midsection looks terrible in comparison. That was the difference. I agree with Mike 100%, vaccums look like shit. Andrew is bringing back shredded abs as a prerequisite to a crazy physique.

You should pop by the gym in Bancroft and check it out, for a tiny gym it’s pretty decent 🤷🏻‍♂️

Andrew really walked away with that show. Not even close.

Luke was the only person I half liked hitting a vacuum. As a whole I personally can't stand the vacuum pose.

Mike and Iain lowkey looked like they were in the same room😂😂

Yes!! Watching the new podcast episode while eating my post legs workout meal which is also a cheat meal, life is good! You the man Fouad💪🏼

I never knew I needed Paul to explain to me what a "donut" was until it happened holy shit lmao

You can always count on Fouad to talk about some sus stuff at some point in the podcast lol

Paul at 1:53:25 "ohh hes little yah, I'll smash his fuckin head in" 😂 completely serious, I love Paul

Vito did actually get exposed for altering his pics a couple years ago. I doubt he does it anymore after that happened.

For the vacuum debate…I don’t mind it but I feel like it’s a holdover from the “golden era” before we had mass monsters.

Would love to hear more in-depth analytical break down on posing & the little details of bodybuilding like this comparison segment between Andrew & hunter

As it relates to the side tricep. I understand why it's not acceptable to do a side pose more frontward facing but why is the one arm over head abs and thigh pose where Hunter turns to the side and shows more of his obliques than abs acceptable? So my question is if Andrew’s side tricep isn’t acceptable because he turns forward why is Hunter’s abs and thigh pose acceptable when he turns to the side

Ian would be a great judge tbh

41:15 I agree with Mike 100 percent

Yes!! I asked the question about Mike helping with Posing and the direction of the conversation was totally why I asked. Mike can help improve posing. Not saying how to pose but what can be done through training to make weak areas pop!!

There didn't used to be most muscular in mandatory poses before around 2000. There were seven poses. It made judging easier as the odd number meant no draws if counting poses (not always perfect way).

Extreme stretch worked wonders for my calves Dusty Hanshaw put me onto that , weighted stretch at the end and my calves went up an inch and a half

Explaining what a wall sit is to Paul made me want to harm myself.

This cast is my fasted cardio PED

I think the bet should be doing a cold plunge. That one is for mike I know he loves cold plunges. 😂😂

I think andrew's texas and hunter's tampa version will beat Nicks best version so far

Iain needs his own little segment and a theme song for a “is it gay” part of the podcast

Starting the pod off right with the upper decky lip pillows 🫡🫡🫡

Hell yea just finished Iain and Mikes Leg day video.. #lfg

For the bet, Last ep you guys did say last place pays 50 then 25/25

Please do the excel sheet for the olympia ! Need to start now

I wish we could hear the parts you guys cut out!!!

That house 1.5 mil!! My house in LI NY 550,000 and it looks like the shack pauls talking about 😂

😂them not knowing scott herman one of the youtube OG’s

I think Andrew from the back will still have a hard time at the ⭕️ to crack top6. He definitely can but it’s gonna be very hard standing next to guys that are dug out from the back. Tyler put out a video that hunter actually was winning the back and sides and Andrew had some posing issues with pinching his back and stuff. Tyler said he spent like 30 min with him after to show him some better ways to hit some shots

Just in time for cardio! Let’s goo!

Just finished the episode with Mike Israetel and then I see a new upload with the boys. Today is a good day!

I’m super excited for this years open class it’s going to be amazing

I prefer vacuums too, on guys with good vacuums, it usually makes the competitor look better. I wonder what Andrew would look like doing one.

Chest mount is good for mountain biking

What is Mike's channel? Hard to see. Thank you!

What's with all the "if_________ are you gay?" or "____does it make you gay?" questions. Are dudes that insecure? Like when did smiling become a factor to determine if you were gay? Me and my gym guys are always laughing while working out. It's like a group therapy thing. And if someone isnt feeling chatty or wants to be left alone for the session. They say so and we see if they want to talk, if not, we give em space. Like when I am squatting or deadlifting, I prefer to focus more and i make it known I dont want to be bothered and my friends respect it. But once I am done, I am usually joking again.

Paul sits there on his 500mg a week test and his daily cialis dose and wonders how men cannot like sex?

A slight tuck in on fdb and showing abs is all thats needed. Like Cormier and some others but the full sucked in showing a hole is ridiculous. Infact they should be docked for that because there is no abs showing especially on an abs and thighs

Come to Plano Texas, Legacy West area, affluent area. A lot of IFBB competitors here. We need a hard core basement gym. Destination is too touristy.

Love this crew💪

i’ve always been partial to a vacuum but probably because of those black and white shots of Frank Zane from back in the day, it definitely doesn’t fit everyone. some people i notice it helps open up their upper which can help their lats pop out

you didnt ask Iain How would he have done going up against Andrew , Hunter & Carlos if he was at Texas Pro..

Ahh yes a few minutes in and the voldemort of medical terms was mentioned 😂

Get Paul a 360 camera for the bike

Great way to start my birthday!!!

I don’t understand how you have mandatory poses but there’s not a standard to each mandatory pose.

Charles Griffin does one the best vacuum double biceps shot..

Why did we stop the meatballs and hummus

New episode of Brochat and hosstile gear in the same day in the words of ice cube, “today was a good day”

Parrillo suggested that extreme stretching too

Best podcast on the interwebs. Never change! 😂

Just everyone should write their picks at the same time 🙂

Great knowledgeable mentors

Paul is really hung up on the wall sits😂😂

Regarding Carlos Jnr and should he have entered such a stacked pro show ... the whole "maybe hold off until you're ready to win / think of your career / get momentum = the reason that the open shows are so lacking in depth & numbers. Good on him for jumping in & I reckon coming 3rd in that lineup is a great debut. We should be less attached to how well someone does on debut and encourage just entering, competing, and working their way up through the ranks. Even Ronnie Coleman was placing out of the top 5 in his first pro shows.
