The Lion of Lebanon most complete and greatest Arab bodybuilder who ever stepped onstage.
-
Haha. He looks like Borat. ;)

lol now that you say that he does lol

I suppose that depends on the standard you are using. In terms of physiques I would aspire to, or which look attainable (even though in reality they probably are not), Samir was awesome. Incredible physique.

imagine him in a 767 at full speed...

Very underrated! One of my all time favorites Arab or not.
1983 Samir = One of the best physiques ever!
-
what an awesome physique
seems like he was smooth at every other show tho ;D
-
I didn't get it.
But I wish too.
-
I agree with ND.
Nasser was never that complete. Samir had a complete physique, and no flaws in 1983.

THAT'S NOT NASSER...!!!
-
MUSTAFA MOHAMMAD.
-
THE last shot where most people have rear obliques he has sick ripped erectors.
-
yes he had an incredible physique
-
last back shot is insane
-
last back shot is insane
Yea thats a sick christmas tree
-
arab bodybuilders always have impressive round muscle bellies....
-
Makkawy. (if you're considering Egypt in this, it no longer seems to be in Africa these days).
Bannout was great when he nailed it for the '83 O, never did it again though.
-
Mo .... 8)
-
Mo in the pic is beating alot of legends.....

I agree totally. if anything I would say that Mo is far more impressive than Samir, who I also rate highly.
It go to show that the Arab has wonderful, blessed genes. beautiful muscles and great brains. Egypt was the first great civilization. no wonder Nasser is most intelligent of all bodybuilders. also the best ever imo.
I agree with GH15 - who is a real bodybuilder and not an unemployed Yates lover - he said 'this is as good as pro bodybuilding gets' ..
look at this physique. sometimes i look this picture for an hour
-
Samir's triceps looked sick
-
Samir Bannout, Fouad Abiad, Ahmad Haidar... I'd say, for such a small country, Lebanon hasn't done bad with bodybuilding!
-

Keep looking from the front lol both Momo and Samir blow Nasser out of the water from every other angle
-
I love Mo and admire Samir's physique so your sad attempt at trolling is not working. What is a fact is that neither of them ever look like this . no one ever have this much mass in such a symmetrical style.
still, you only start thread becuase of Nasser. HAHA, proof he lives in your unemployed brain nastysissydiety

No I started the tread because its a fact , Samir is still the best Arab bodybuilder who ever lived , it has nothing to do with Nasser .
-
Arabs are way smarter than any other race. And better looking.
-
Nasser's video's were boring
Momo was king

Comparing bodybuilders from that era to modern ones is apples vs. oranges. You can similarly take Frank Zane and say "he's the best White bodybuilder ever!" just because he has a smaller waist and can be considered more aesthetic than Yates, since that was the look of that time.
Nasser had Bannout's look when he was about 25.

Samir is the best because he's the only Arab to be Mr Olympia , lets not focus on would've , could've , should've its a fact
and he's not one dimensional like Nasser he looks outstanding from all angles most poses. Nasser can't pull off kneeling shots and 3/4 twisting shots
-
Most say Drugs in sport don't hurt tell that to MOMO. ::)

Samir Bannout himself went on air at Al-Jazeera and praised Nasser as being as the best Arab bodybuilder of all time

I don't buy this for a moment , I do recall him stating he felt that after Yates retired Nasser would be the bext bodybuilder of Arab decent to be Mr Olympia .

Honestly, I don't see anything special with Bannout's physique. Maybe because it's a physique from 1982, which is so much smaller than today's physiques.
-

So you are not a racist, huh? This is like ethnocentrism, 101. Why don't you just admit that you prefer Nasser because he is of your same race and be done with it, you racist? Do you really think you can fool anyone?

wife abusing very good bodybuilder

Lol, only a fool would be so (Sharma = a gimmick). Arab culture is inferior in many ways, and arab achievement (besides the "luck of oil") the last 50 years is pathetic compared to the west. Arab average IQ and arab literacy is pathetic compared to the west, and countries like Japan. Anybody thinking arab culture is superior = fools. It = a stone age culture in many ways.
Hahaha a couple of million jews has accomplished hundreds of times more stuff than over a billion muslims the last 100 years. Jews = brutally superior to arabs.
Oh, and Samir was a christian, not a muslim. ;D
-
growing a moustache like that doesn't make him as good as mentzer
-
is samir actually arabic?
he is lebanese- is that the same as being arabic?
-
I agree with ND.
Nasser was never that complete. Samir had a complete physique, and no flaws in 1983.
I agree too.
probably the only time we will EVER agree with the idiot 8)
Samir was awesome in 83
-
where's SPOTTER?

I agree, he has one of the best physiques.

You guys are forgetting another arab by the name of Mohammed Makkaway, who lived in Toronto, Canada.
YES Swami, Lebanon is STILL an arab country, so Samir IS an arab.
-
Sharma is trying to rattle cages again.. :D
Egypt prostituted itself to Rome.Egypt Cleopatra had the Romans kill off her siblings while prostituting herself to Caesar and and Anthony.
When faced with a stronger more disciplined army like the Romans Egypt fell apart and became a colony for Rome. . Egypt's heyday ended eons ago and now its a ravaged shell. Arabs were a backward society until Europe civilized them. Even now the US and Europe have a huge influence in decisions in the middle east. All the top level people are western. Some of the so called entrepreneurial princes and sheiks adopt western attitudes and use top level consultants from US/Euro. Of course the Arabs will take credit as though it was their idea in the first place,
As for Nasser - he is billed as being from Yugoslavia NOT Egypt despite being a halfbreed.
Didn't Egypt issue a statement that Nasser should not be viewed as Egyptian? Apparently Egypt does not want to be associated with the wifebeating, Drug dealing,shameless hussy known as Nasser el Stillbatty. :D :D :D

you call that good? Stop banging the goats and have some sense of a normal human life
-
Heh... Nasser should spend more time training in his videos and less time coughing and waddling about. Its like 10 secs of Nasser lifing a light dumbell and 5 minutes of closeups of him breathing heavily and coughing while oggling himself in the mirror. You can see some people in the background laughing at him. He makes Jay's vids look Oscarworthy by comparison. Even his ex-wife rolls her eyes at his performance. No wonder she left him for a real man who could last more than 7 secs,with fewer medical complications.
-
Samir not only is one of the greatest of all time, he's also an amazing person and a great family man.
He's also a Lebanese Christian who had his share of Muslim repression. Just for that, He deserves uber respect.
-
Samir rules! Very friendly guy if you are lucky enough to bump into him at a show.
But sadly, he never attained ripped glutes (or pulled his trunks up his ass to show us!)

ask LATS if he agrees with you.

You know the question of if Samir is a true ethnic Arab is an interesting one that requires in depth knowledge and understanding of the Middle East and the minefield that is Lebanese history. I hardly think that much of the trailer trash idiots here could ever understand.
Many of his kind - Christians - do not view themself as Arabs in the real sense. Some refrain from even speaking Arabic. Of course many Arabic speaking countries do have Christians : Syria, Egypt, Jordan etc , but these are never in such large numbers as in Lebanon. Lebanon itself is an Arab speaking country in the Middle East. In this sense of course its people are Arabs. But not for me true Arabs.
I could personally never view a Christian as an Arab brother. Since for me an Arab is not just a shared history and language, we are bound together by Islam. We share our obedience to Allah, the one true God.

Lebanese are semites so on a ethnic level, there's no difference between Lebanese and, say, Syrians which actually Lebanon was a poart of for a very long time. Sharma's "cultural" point of view which excludes people of different religious beliefs from beeing arabs explains why Christians in Arab countries have a hard time considering themselves as Arabs. Beeing an Arab and a Muslim are two different things, at least if you have a brain that's pretty obvious since the biggest muslim country in the world is Indonesia. Unless that makes Indonesians, Arabs, huh?

Actually it is they who try to set themself apart. It is the Christians who often refrain from speaking Arabic and who take issue with being called Arabs.
I take Indonesian Muslim over 'Arab' Christian anyday of the week. Anyone who embrace Allah is my brother.

Ha ha - Says "Sharma" the pakistani who wishes that he was Arab. Bound by obedience to Allah the fraud. :D

Again you fat fool just show your ignorance in the affairs of the Muslims. Do not speak if you don't know. Stick to posting your obese hulk and stick arms.
The Lebanese civil war was started by Christian Phalangists. The Christians committed terrible atrocities and for much time were the majority. Idiot. Proof that dumb Americans should stay out of the affairs of the Muslims.

Without western influence, the muslim world will end up like this:

arabs are dirty dogs !

If americans did stay out of Muslim affairs, you might find that the state of Israel would be the whole middle East, and you my friend would be as extinct as the dinosaurs.

Nothing, they have regressed and caused alot of negative effects for other people in the process.

There you have it folks - the truth.
Israel no longer needs to worry about its own survival as it did a decade ago. Now they have weapons and tech and those crazies will fight at the drop of a hat and the US can just barely hold it back. If the US didnt have financial and other interests in the middle east, Israel would have expanded their territories even further.

Inferior culture.

Back on topic somewhat...
Samir competed at the 1985 World Championships - WABBA - Professional
This was not his best but probably 3rd best behind 82-83 Olympias.
I couldn't find the article but read a report where they said his color was perfect
and his condition was similar to 83 although not quite there.
Samir himself says about the difference between 1982 and 1983 Olympias:
The ultimate goal of my lifetime was finally reached when I won the 1983 Mr. Olympia title at Munich, West Germany. I had been a little more ripped the previous year, which means that almost all my cuts showed. But I was more massive in 1983, so in total I was in my best all-time shape. Winning the Mr. Olympia title was an incredibly sublime experience.
Pic 1 1985 Samir
Pic 2 MD Mag that has the 1985 World Championships - WABBA
Pic 3 - Not sure but I think was from the 1985 show...
-
To think he won the 1983 Mr. Olympia at 189 pounds. Goes to show that you don't have to weight 260-300 pounds to have an unreal physique. When will the current crop learn this???

there are more pros competing these days and more amateurs trying to turn pro
the sport has evolved - Samir had a beautiful physique, but one that is no longer competitive

Samir is a class act. Respectful and a decent person. He is a good role model for future BB's unlike Nasser who makes cowardly attacks on his colleagues and is such a disgrace to the "sport"( :-X) that he was omiitted from he ASC winners in 2007.

samir can be a real nice guy but he has a hot temper, and has gotten into many fights. he also hit his wife according to eye witnesses (infront of everyone at an expo)
great physique.
