1:21:58 - The rear lat spread convo - in an episode a while back Iain said something that has always really stuck with me since hearing it in regards to a rear lat, he said “A piece of paper is widest, when it is flat.” I think this is a phenomenal way to put it.
The bit with Ben’s Dad was lovely. One thing that Fouad has is his ability to address his personality traits and I am sure that also attributes to a lovely person he is. Most people don’t address their personality traits. This podcast is just different man❤️
One of the things that made my days better and keep them positive bateries charged is this podcast right besides the Gym&heavy metal music. Thank you Fouad and all the podcast crew for making us laugh, learn new things about bodybuilding, training, diet and life in general.
The discussion on financial freedom was good. Samson and Ben are both right: 1) work is optional and 2) you need to be able to say when you’ve had “enough” without your appetite for more controlling you Actual financial freedom means you are making enough passive income to cover your expenses. This can come from a number of sources - portfolio income (dividends and capital gains), rental income, royalties, etc. or any combination. So you need to be able name what level expenses you need to cover: 40k/yr? 100k/yr? 250k/yr? A homeless person living on welfare programs is technically financially free, but it’s not the best quality of life. To support a higher quality of life demands more work, until you reach that crossover point of fully covering your expenses. Then work becomes purely optional.
Great show today fellas, but definitely missing James. The content has been non stop lately as well as entertaining, interesting and informative. Thanks for the hard work you've been putting in lately Hoss!
Hey fouad what about having dexter on the show!? He’s retired now might have some a little extra time to jump on. I’ve been here since episode 8 idk if I missed it Or something if you did interview him
Dexter has a “gangsta mentality”, and doesn’t engage in public conversations that much either. He really only talks to people he already are friends with.
@@MHMHMHMHMHMHMHMH that’s weird I should know that following bodybuilding this long lol but makes sense he does really shy outa instagram but be notices
Touching on the last topic as somebody who had a kid a few weeks ago, my mind has already shifted away from small materialistic things. I used to really want a nice car and flashy stuff, but since my son came along all I care about is being the best version of myself so that I’m a good role model and so my son is proud of me. I’d still love to drive a nice truck some day (I just drive a 2014 Kia right now) but that’s more for comfort, utility, reliability, and safety (4x4 and ground clearance in Canada is pretty important) are the bigger priority over speed and wow factor
The look Samson had when he realised fouad jumps in the shower without wiping 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mans had that why did I sign on for 4 years look 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 always a good laugh boys 🙌🏼
In regards to the conversation of caring about cars and what not when you have kids: I never had any cool cars or hobbies or anything cool during my kid's childhood. All money and time went to paying rent and feeding the family. We were pretty dam tight financially but if you ask my kids they will tell you they had no idea how bad we were struggling. As parents we absorbed all the stress of being broke. Once they both graduated school I then decided it was my turn to have a little fun. And now both of my kids and I are into customized cars. We go to car events together. Both of us parents are also doing better financially so that definitely helps!
I always try to go to failure because in reality you rarely go to real failure. If in my head I want to stop 2 reps before failure I would be probably 5 rep from real failure
having Dex and/or Kai on the show to ask about training and longevity would be awesome , Kai is another one of those whose training seems to keep him mostly injury free and he still could compete
Arnold had an insane work ethic also. He was a brick layer and had a string of jobs and businesses while competing to get by. All he has achieved today is testament to it
On the topic of the training debate over the last couple episodes; I heard Dorian Yates say one time he believed guys with really fast metabolisms responded better to a low volume approach because it took them longer to recover. Wonder if there’s anything to that?
I prayed for insight on financial freedom last night before bed. Haven't even listened to this yet, but I was taken aback to see this title on my favorite podcast. Snow day here in Dallas, everything is shut down. Thanks for the entertainment.
Catching up on last weeks stuff from our Texas blizzard lol.. annnyways. Ya being with mat as well as being lighter should ease any concern from big flips from a multiple day show.
I think that with the freedom you'd only want one house because you'd have the financial freedom to experience different locations and not feel obligated to go to the same beach house or cabin because you own it. With financial freedom, I'd see a new place every time.
I use to train heavy low volume and then I found Mike Van Wyck a couple years ago and have made more progress in 2 years than I had in 8 training the other way. (6’3 white guy lol)
I think the simplest way to describe financially freedom is the moment someone doesn’t think about money anymore. When you go to the grocery store and just get what you want regardless of what it is and how much. When you spend $1000 and don’t even think twice about how much it was. Of course there’s a limit. Spending a million and not thinking twice is far above financial freedom IMO.
I was just thinking how great to see a guy at the top like Sampson getting posing tweaks to try when you said “ This has to be neat for the fans” . Wish I had access to this when I was competing ! I’m old.

Luke would be very proud of you
for everything you achieved so far.
I am your father
Paul is low key the greatest guest. He is the bodybuilding boomer we all can love, he is like our dad.
I love that you had Ben's father on, the whole family aspect of all these podcasts is something I look forward to every week
With Ben getting off the gear and getting healthy, plus the transplant.
Looks like he is 10 years younger! Good stuff mate
All that's left for him now is to improve his internet connection 😂
James Hollingshed is missing. Him and Fouad must be fighting 😂 😂 just kidding love the show Fouad you guys always make days better
They must be beefing lol
Absolutely 😂
@@mahbub87hussain Vacay with the gf
Mmk
That Norwegian beef does look good
Ah, the Brit duo and Paul. One of the more hassle free podcasts Fouad can conduct as a host.
I really enjoy hearing Ben talk about Phoenix. Every time I just think, that is a man who loves his son, and it warms my heart
Fouad, you are so lucky to have Paul as a lifelong friend/training partner. He is a fucking delight and absolutely hilarious.

TERRY!!!! What a cameo! 🤣
Gentlemen, thank you all for the entertainment. Wishes for the next 4-5 weeks to go as hoped for Samson!
The bit with Ben’s Dad was lovely. One thing that Fouad has is his ability to address his personality traits and I am sure that also attributes to a lovely person he is. Most people don’t address their personality traits. This podcast is just different man❤️
Love the confidence from Samson. I can't wait to see him take it home
Samson is so humble. I just keep rooting for him more and more.
I love how hard Paul is holding on to what little hair he has left.
I noticed Jose didn't shave the other day.
What hair
It’s his hairstyle man. Only Paul can pull it off
But he can get away with it, because he has that hairline that looks fine from a low camera angle.
@@DrunkenPound I don’t think he looks that bad at all. It’s the defensiveness over his hair that I love.
I literally cried when Terry gave his predictions😂 one of the most wholesome moments ever bring Ben’s dad on the podcast!!
Needed this today, thank you all for making the time and thank you Fouad for scheduling and producing everything.
Andrew literally got famous for lifting heavy with Larry Wheels. He definitely squats and deadlifts lol
He did 300 kg raw squat with larry…
Been waiting to have Ben back on and now Samson and Paul thank you Fouad!
Literally the only thing keeping me going this morning. Really appreciate you guys and this podcast. Have a blessed day bros
Another awesome show. One of the best in recent months. Never a dull moment
I want to see what Paul thinks of Sampsons shots...
Sampson - that look you get when dad says let's sit down and talk about this report card !
Had me dying when Paul said “See Fouad” 😂
Gotta respect and love how passionate Ben is when talking about his son.
Samson so sympathic on Buildings Elite Podcast !!
One of the things that made my days better and keep them positive bateries charged is this podcast right besides the Gym&heavy metal music. Thank you Fouad and all the podcast crew for making us laugh, learn new things about bodybuilding, training, diet and life in general.
Samson got that Hosstile money 😮💨
Good for you 👏🏼

Some of the best moments of my week, is seeing a new B&B, or BC episode on UA-cam ❤
Poor Paul is in denial about his hair lmao, such a great podcast, always cracking me up
Great show today fellas, but definitely missing James.
The content has been non stop lately as well as entertaining, interesting and informative. Thanks for the hard work you've been putting in lately Hoss!
Just finished the show and just another good all around show today!
Financial freedom is being able to do whatever the hell you want by my definition. GOALS!
YO...Fouad YOU ARE THE MAN! THANK YOU.

Samson's so big everytime he laughs his screen shakes 😂
Great Fouad ,love the podcast and merchandise keep it going eh..😂

Terry! Terry! TERRY!! 😂😂 love him
Awesome podcast as usual, I hate them ending to be honest 😆
Looking forward to the next one, Cheers 👍🏾
The look Samson had when he realised fouad jumps in the shower without wiping 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mans had that why did I sign on for 4 years look 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 always a good laugh boys 🙌🏼
Ben's Dad is Great 🤣! Bring that Man back on❤️!

Terry on the next Bro Chat! Or atleast a fill in for Ben when he cant make it
I always try to go to failure because in reality you rarely go to real failure. If in my head I want to stop 2 reps before failure I would be probably 5 rep from real failure
I will watched in my phone or tv but it always make my day ❤ The king of Podcast
Samson is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
having Dex and/or Kai on the show to ask about training and longevity would be awesome , Kai is another one of those whose training seems to keep him mostly injury free and he still could compete
Paul had to get on so he can change his bets 🤣🤣
Yup
Chris aceto said on HMR that’s an old video of Patrick. 30:00
Arnold had an insane work ethic also. He was a brick layer and had a string of jobs and businesses while competing to get by. All he has achieved today is testament to it
yeah i was a little confused lol arnold arguably had the best work ethic of any bb if we’re talking total volume of work
i hope samson and andrew will battle it out for the first and second!!!
That would be great. Find out in 5 weeks
doubt it with nick and Shaun, Samson possibly but it wouldn’t surprise me if nick and Shaun are ahead
If he gets his condition in Andrew could destroy. Dunno if he can do that. Not convinced
On the topic of the training debate over the last couple episodes; I heard Dorian Yates say one time he believed guys with really fast metabolisms responded better to a low volume approach because it took them longer to recover. Wonder if there’s anything to that?
Haven’t seen the UK boys in a while! Let’s go!
You guys still don't know a thing about Andrew he was deadlifting and squatting with Larry when they were training partners and Andrew was keeping up
Exactly
Put a link on description for the paul shirt 😂 we’ll support him
Love you guys! You make my day
Yyyeess! Big love Fouad. Thanks for the podcast. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
Love watching these guys on. A quote i heard recently was the end of happiness is wanting things. I let that sink in for a min.
Thoughts?
perfect timing for Meal 1 here in wisconsin
I prayed for insight on financial freedom last night before bed. Haven't even listened to this yet, but I was taken aback to see this title on my favorite podcast. Snow day here in Dallas, everything is shut down. Thanks for the entertainment.
Pray more
Love all the content please make big Mike a staple u fits right in❤
Terry!!! We need him more
Fouad when will you interview your brother. Would love to hear his challenges to success story.
Great having Ben Paul and Samson on
quote of the show comes from Terry: "Shaun, he's like mighty mouse"
Catching up on last weeks stuff from our Texas blizzard lol.. annnyways. Ya being with mat as well as being lighter should ease any concern from big flips from a multiple day show.
Dont comment enough, Thanks Fouad👊🏼
samson so big that when he laughs the room shakes
Whatever happened to the pods from the podcast room at the Olympia ? I assumed they'd be uploaded but never came across them.
On my birthday at that 👏 thanks big guy 🔥🔥🔥
Happy birthday 🎂 hope you have a great one man
Many happy returns of the day my man 🎂🎉
Paulstille is Paul's supplement line lol
Flannels are looking pretty nice. When are those officially coming out?
Are you uploading anymore podcasts to Spotify?
Is it me or has Fouad had 16 different vehicles since he started the podcast?
It was just awesome to finally see Ben on. Guy been busy with shit and family. Awesome podcast
I love that every single podcast at some point Fouad says "I dont want to talk about shit this poodcast" lol
That is a bummer no Arnold booth!
Fouad you have to keep us updated where you will be for the Arnold

Paul's cheat meal protocol rules
I use to train heavy low volume and then I found Mike Van Wyck a couple years ago and have made more progress in 2 years than I had in 8 training the other way. (6’3 white guy lol)
Perfect timing. Mornin Gents!

Great podcast
Paul is my man !! I love to have a Navigator !! 😎😎
Paul’s shirt isn’t on the app?
I was just thinking how great to see a guy at the top like Sampson getting posing tweaks to try when you said “ This has to be neat for the fans” . Wish I had access to this when I was competing ! I’m old.
You should find a local supp shop and do a pop up meet and greet, or gym if you know anyone.
HOSSTILE flannels are 🔥🔥🔥
BIG PIMPIN SPENDING Gs
Can the guy who makes the edits make a montage of all the times throughout the podcasts Fouad has said “I don’t want to talk about shit” 😂
Coming in clutch!
Aye this is perfect!!!
You should make a pre workout drink called “Judgement Day” and put Uncle June’s face on it!
Next podcast make everyone wear an uncle June tee. Would be funny as hell
58:39 some real best friend shit
Ben is looking different much better 💪🏽go on big dog
The Paul shirt needs a rebrand. It should say "The judge"
Strong black bodybuilders kevin levrone, bertil fox, Akim, Johnny Jackson, chris cormier, Dennis james. Off the top of my head
You named 3
