Just saw this pic online and he looks incredible. The sad thing is, he'd lose the Mr. O today to a gut monster.

Common misconception!!! Even Arnold says Samir was the first person to have the X-mas Tree lower back in his (Arnold's) Encyclopedia!!! However, here is just one person that had the lower back of a festive yuletide holiday arbor.

Wouldn't Arnold credit himself? Weird for a bodybuilder to miss a chance to big himself up.

I've always wondered that myself. ???

The previous photo I posted, was obviously taken prior to his return in 1980, so that means it had to have been taken in 75 or earlier. My guess, though the guys at IronAge (or ND) could tell more about it, is that the photo is around 73 or 74. That means the photo is at least 8 years before Samir showed up in his phenomenal shape on 83.
I'll take a gander and say that when Arnold appeared as he did above, they just didn't have a name for the Christmas tree lower back and when Samir displayed it, someone said "My God, his back looks like a Douglas Fir Christmas Tree!" and thus the name was born....

Any idea what Labrada thought of that? was he happy that Samir was with his sister? Did the divorce cause any problems between those guys?

I interviewed Lee for Iron Man and asked him about that. His answer was "Samir was a great bodybuilder".

LOL. Yeah, I got that impression when I watched the video from one of the grand prix's they did in 1988 or '89 and they gave a press conference beforehand and Samir said something about Lee's sister and Lee had this look (only for a second) where it seemed like he was not pleased. But then as usual, he became 100%-professional and smiled/laughed/bantered.

No, this image is actually clearer. Yours has poor contrast, it's just brighter.

I was referring to me as the lib. Although I probably fall somewhere more in the moderate category.  I don't know about Samir. I'll call him and set up a workout. Some Saturday in November?
