is this look here, the look of no ghona currently in the system?

very smooth, no seperation but still BIG!
just ton of AAS only here?

also, he was VERY confident the elbow injury wont effect him for the flex pro 2012..obviously because of the hgh that is to come OR that he has just started but not showing on the physique yet because he is only 1 or 2 days in?

confirmation?

pretty much the opposite bro...might have reduced aas due to operation and/or other health reasons but ghona is definitely still there, without it fast "recovery" and use of "muscle memory" wouldn't be possible...and tbh i think he might have pulled liar priests and taken some test suspension ot other bloating compounds to look more off and to make his so called comeback seem more impressive, otherwise ppl wouldn't believe he even had injured anything, would they ;D

I'm not gonna argue because, point blank, I don't know what he weighs; never saw him on a scale. But I have a difficult time believing he is 300. I don't look 295, no. Began training 26 years ago at 130 and never stopped (outside of week layoffs every now and then). I don't have the "swole" bodybuilder look (no use of drugs, ever?), but am thick, hard (most of my bodyfat is subcutaneous, no question) and ... well, heavy. Maybe it's because I am proportionate. Most folks in-the-know put me somewhere in the mid 200s.

If Fouad is 300, OK. Wish him the best of luck.

(My comment about his being a marshmallow isn't a slam. A great many modern bodybuilders are puffy and soft. Unless you have been busting your arse lifting heavy-ass weight for 20-plus years natural, you aren't gonna be 300 and NOT be soft and puffy. Fouad might be more "in shape" than I am, but I guarantee my muscle is considerably more lean and dense ... and real).    
No, I idn't think you were slaming him,but in bodybuilding anyone that competes can tell you that come contest everybody thinks you are haevier and when your off-season everyone thinks you are light. example when i am chubby off season at 250 people think I am 240, but when I am 2 weeks out everyone thinks I am 250 because I am hard (no homo) so your theory that he is light cause he is mushy, well, the oppisite is true if he was hard with abs I would think he is only 280....muscle weighs more then fat but it also gives the illusion that it takes more volumn, not saying your fat but this misconception is popular thinking among fat people from what I notice.

I hear ya. And for the record, I began my weight-training life as a bodybuilder. Competed three times. For my last go on the posing dais, I weighed an ultra-ripped 202 (overdid it and should have been around 210-215). In clothes I looked like a bean pole ... on stage I looked more like 225. In the offeason I weighed (this is mid-'90s) 260-ish and looked gigantic in clothes but less "muscleman" when stripped off.

Now I weigh, as I say, over 290, and because I am more dense and thick 15 years later (and hugely more strong), I actually weigh a lot more but do not appear all that much bigger than when I was 260. Weird, I know.

Strange sport.

Saw him a few times, he is absolutely HUGE in person and looks great but doesnt have separations/that 3D look in pictures or even on stage.

Six feet. Only looked like a bean pole in clothes. On stage I looked jacked.

I don't miss tanning, oiling, posing, etc., no. I always loved the lifting so it was a natural for me to switch to powerlifting.

Every true bodybuilder feels small next to another big dude, it's part of the complex that has us lifting in the first place.

He's here in the Caribbean now for guest posing. Saw him walking around in the gym today, he didn't train, just took pics with people. Seemed nice to everybody. Was around 270lbs
