I was going to... but was too lazy to put pictures...
except my thread was going to be asking if Fouad will ever become an A list bodybuilder...

99% likely he was penalized for what he did last competition.

Could be wrong, but I think he ditched the show before the finals thinking he didn't make it.Originally Posted by RoroCwalker

I believe it was at the flex pro, he showed up for pre-judging and didn't show up for the finals. He said it was an honest mistake that he thought people outside of the top 6 or whatever didn't have to be there for the finals but many think he didn't show up cause he was pissed off at how they placed him at pre judgingOriginally Posted by RoroCwalker

naww, it was the 2012 AC that he walked out on.
His explanation for anybody who may not know.
From Foud's ********:
I just wanted to take a minuted to update and apologize to all my fans. Tonight at my second Arnold Classic I made a MAJOR mental error that has cost me whatever placing I deserved. I believe I was somewhere in the 7, 8, 9 spot but regardless it doesn't matter.
I kept myself tight and came back at night with the best package I could bring. I did my routine that I had put together and it was my impression that only the top six would be called back for comparisons.
Knowing I was not in the top six I thought after my routine my night was done so I got dressed and left, only to find out after I was already gone that they were calling me out.
I have never walked away from a placing good or bad. I have never disrespected the IFBB, myself or any of my sponsors. I appreciate all the care about me being sick but everything is fine, it was really just a matter of me personally making a mental error which I wish dearly that I could take back.
The last thing on earth I want is for any of the people supporting me to think I gave up on them. I would hate more than anything to disappoint or have my fans not believe in me.
This will NEVER happen again and I have apologized already to IFBB Officials, Weider and Scitec for my error, and finally I want to apologize to every last person who has supported me and my career.
I will be back bigger and better than ever, I'm down but not out!
Sacrifice,
Fouad 'Hoss' Abiad3

I remember when this happened, What a ****ty excuse, even if any shred of truth it would be respectful to stick around and congratulate your fellow competitors on their placings.Originally Posted by Djaye

I think maybe he should of placed 6th or 7th if Ced had placed higher. But looking at the comparisons he doesnt have as much detail in his arms or from the back as otherss and his midsection is also quite wide. He got up to 300lbs in his last off season, Maybe he shouldnt of gone as heavy. I do like him as a BBer though/

So who the hell should he have placed ahead of then, if it was "not even close"? The only guy who placed ahead of him who you could even try to make a case for him beating is Darrem CharlesOriginally Posted by santana77

10th place at the Arnold is business as usual for fouad...
maybe he should compete more at different shows and peak for once instead of only trying to place high in bbing 2nd biggest show...

Looks good in that pic, but thats the best pic I have seen. Its the same one he posted on his FB. Some guys are saying he was top three, some ass lickers saying he had first... I do think he got a bit screwed, deserved 6 AT BEST. No way should Hide have beat him, or especially Ced... But as someone else said, he shouldnt have left last year unless it was a medical emergency.

hide, joj should have not been in the top 6. cedric should have placed way better, ben should have won, freeman placed right where he should have, fouad should have been in the 5-7 range...not 10th. but politics are politics, cant do much about that crap.

Yea dexter smashed Ben...
Ben is massive, yes, but no back, no arms at all and a massive midsection. Not the direction where we want it going..

i will admit, dexter was sharper in the back shots. below the waist, no, but above oh hell yes. biceps aswell i agree. but the front shots, ben dominated (and that goes to show why he won the most muscular award). but it is what it is...Originally Posted by TrainOfThought
what i dont like about ben is the side/midsection stuff. definitely needs to keep working on that. he did tighten up a little bit compared to last year, but not enough. i still had him above dexter...cause imo I see nothing new from him. and his posing routines are boring as phak.NPC BODYBUILDER / ISSA Certified Personal Trainer/Nutrition Specialist

Pakulski has indecent arms and back, wide and bloated midsection and monster legs. Good conditioning.
How did he get second is beyond my comprehension...

Ben gets away with having no back and still taking 2nd here due to his competition (or rather, the absolute lack of it). At the Olympia he'll be taking like 10th place looking like this.
Guys showing up to the O that Pakulski probably won't beat:
Heath, Kai, Cutler, Rhoden, Wolf, Centopani, Warren, Dexter, and maybe even Martinez.

Ben is exactly that, a most muscular award. But, he's just not put together well. And IMO judges rewarding this look are steering bodybuilding in the wrong directionOriginally Posted by MAX.MAREK

he outconditioned far superior bodybuilders... thats it.Originally Posted by DanOsman
his shape will never take him far in the olympia unless the more gifted ones pull Currys or come in off....
the amount of muscle he paks on is quite dominating, frankly....
