If someone is going to be a commentator in a sport, it’s best to have experience of competing at that sport at a high level. When it comes to bodybuilding, few are as qualified as Dennis James and Fouad Abiad. Both men have won contests, competed on the Olympia stage, and have transitioned nicely into media roles. As a matter of fact, they both have successful podcasts that attract numerous listeners.
This week, Abiad played the role of the guest on James’ latest episode of “The Menace Podcast.” As would be expected of two players in the bodybuilding industry, a lot of the conversation surrounded the 2021 Mr. Olympia and who would be in it. Abiad expressed that watching the action onstage this season has fueled his passion for the sport as a fan.
