Ian already looking young lol, as a fan I'm gonna miss seeing him on stage but now he should have more time for content and so on, also I love his input on bodybuilding and maybe a podcast down the line would be amazing once you build a bigger fan base as Ian the content creator..💪
@Salahhaboussi I think you were trying to reply to the wrong person, and while I somewhat agree with you, it's also clear that how his chest looks depends a lot on how well he is able to maintain fullness while getting in contest shape. His retirement definitely seems to have been the right call. He did everything he could do in the sport, and he probably wasn't going to place any higher at the Olympia no matter what he did. I'm glad that he's happy and healthy.
@@i27v1 That would be awesome, because a lot of us fans love your analytical take on things.....especially on PEDs/health markers since its foreign to most of us.
What compels people like you to get on here and attempt to shit on a guy who had one of the most successful pro BBing careers of all-time as a competitor AND who is transitioning well into life after pro BBing? Have some respect and be happy for others, otherwise you're just a troll @Salahhaboussi
As much of a fan i am of your physique i'm a bigger fan of your personality, mentality and of you as a great dude. You are looking way younger, and that awesome! Looking forward for what you gonna do next. Will always support!
So happy for you, @iain and Melissa! Good luck with the fertility. It took my wife and I 5 years for our first and another 5 for our soon to be second (baby boy Dec 2023). I did exactly what you mentioned on bro chat. Hcg, hmg and every health supplement suggested. All through IVF, and we couldn’t be happier. Nothing but positive thoughts and wishes your way!
Not gonna lie Iain you should get into the commentating portion of bodybuilding. You’ve been there, you have the eye, and you don’t kiss ass. You’d kill it buddy.
Hey Ian you can use Enclo instead of Clomid, it hase the same effects on fertility as Clomid (clomid=enclomiphine + other component which is the one that affects mood),since it's the component of clomid which gives fertility benefits
That genuine smile he starts the video off with literally says everything about this being the right choice💪💪 trackstar Iain loadinggggg #250lbspeedingbeef
You should do a bodybuilding knowledge, gear, diet, and training concepts better. Kind of like Seth feroce. Kind of like a prep coach without giving away too much. Could give you a good opportunity to gain more clients actually.
Its nice to see a bodybuilder talk about Natural Bodybuilding with respect, I follow a mixture of tested and untested dudes on here and find value out of both. It really just comes down to where you want to go or be at in the journey and whether or not you are comfortable doing more. 💯
100%. It would be a shame if Iain didn’t end up judging at the highest level. I think we have all seen he is second to none in his ability to assess a physique quickly and accurately. Also he truly is a man of integrity and I don’t think for a second he would ever let personal bias interfere. I know Jose Raymond is doing some judging and I wish Branch Warren would too. I think all three of them are absolutely phenomenal at assessing physiques. So glad to hear Iain is going to pursue it.
I think for a lot of us fans what we have always really liked about Iain is the intelligent way that he approaches his business and thinks about things. Retiring with his health is just another example of that - excited to see what the future holds!
I'm excited to see where you take your physique now Ian when you downsize. It will have a lot more relevance for us normal guys. Big love, kindest regards, Richard U.K
Ian, your insight and strong opinions have an important place in bodybuilding, you've got to jump on that. We love listening to you think out loud and challenging opinions.
Love RAW (and not just saying that cause they’re my sponsor) they make great quality products and I use them daily. Evogen makes great stuff also. Hany is the 🐐 and I’ll trust anything he puts his name behind
ENDORPHIN SPEEEEEDS! Best shoe of all time from the short workouts all the way to half marathon distances. Love seeing how things are changing and progressing as you adjust to retirement :)
I know you’re not the biggest eater in the world but I’d love to see you and the boys do a good food challenge video at the Olympia. Happy to also see how happy you’ve been since retirement😎🤌🏻
@@i27v1 no way?! 😂 I still don’t know half the shit my iPhone 14 can do. Looks like your using a damn Nikon. Your gonna be hanging out at the O this year right?
sounds cheeky but you saying "im not a big eater" gave me goosebumps. makes me think that you got where you got by forcefeeding for years and doing so many hard hard stuff that went against our nature. you lived bodybuilding. and you're now retiring after being one of the best in the world, and will always be. congrats Iain. looking forward for whats to come
I was disappointed at first but now I’m truly hyped for this retirement! Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna be up too, the GIVR pod was fire too. What is your approach to PEDS right now? Are you coming all the way off and PCT or will you stay on a cruise to control the weight loss a little better? Would be super interesting to see how much you keep and how you look after a year with no PEDS at all. Keep killing it, if anything I will follow you closer now.
I just had an Epiphany I didn’t think was possible, I use to wonder who the next generation “voice of bodybuilding” or MC should be. I almost thought Ben chow, but no one saw this retirement coming and you would make a really great MC
Chapter2 in effect! Congratulations always luv and will support your content. I understand that your a modest guy but Chris did a interview with Hany and as always he credits you for supporting and guilty him in the early yrs up to Olympia success. The most important part of a building is the footings the base. You where a part of that.
Excited to see if you want to do some videos of your running. I enjoy running in different ways, but it wrecks my knees and hamstrings, definetly will think about buying the Endorphin Speeds
Youre better off not doing bodybuilding dude, ive lose so many friends because of it. I know this may sound nihilistic, but for longevity it isnt worth it. Im glad youre going back to running and or sprinting, youll be an animal man i believe it.
Iain, been running gear for 10 years and dropped to 250mgs test/wk and rotated hmg 75iu per day and 2500iu hcg the next day. All it took was 4 weeks and now my son is 3 years old. Hope it goes just as smooth for you, Excited for you Melissa!
Iain. Would you ever consider competing in powerlifitng? You and James Hollingshead have been some of the strongest bodybuilders in the modern circuit.
@@i27v1 Really, he was taller than you? I didn't that man. Wasn't he 5'10? I thought u was about that height brotha. Keep them wheels brotha them things are KNARLY man.
Iain you look great happy!! As a fan I wish u didn't retire but u seem really happy about your decision...That being said I got an idea why don't u and Melissa have a baby and then after she's born for a yr or two come back and give it a run again!! Lol just a thought. Anyway man Good luck to you and that beautiful wife of yours!! One love HOLLA
Competitve bodybuilding just ain’t for me anymore man! I’ve done it at 110% for 15% years. I can probably count on one hand how many meals or workouts I missed in a decade and a half. I’m young, I’m healthy, and I’m excited to try all the other awesome shit life has to offer other than bodybuilding.
My man!! Iv grown to appreciate you and your opinions on the Podcast!! You a great guy and will be a great father if u and Melissa have children... anyway bro Thank u for responding and being a awesome guy ! One love here South Carolina Take care
Meet you outside of GoodLife in May! You are great roll model and easy to talk to thanks for taking the time. Hope the best for you in your new adventures. Wish you the best!
