You gonna post anything longer than 2 or 3 words today?
Or is this just "post padding" right before you start your test/deca/dbol/gh/slin stack in preparation for Mr. Getbig 4?

Used to slap around Lee Labrada's sister :-X

Agreed. He was always criticized for his weak back.

I don't think so. Hamstrings might be, but we should see other pics to judge.
-
Flawless physique, no weaknesess.
Looks athletic and healthy as well, like he could still play a game of soccer on the beach if he wanted to.

Post much?

Nasser said that? I'm surprised and if training like a pussy means bent over rows with 405 than sign me up

he said in a Flex article from a few years ago that Mike and Ray Mentzer were deadlifting 585 one day and Samir walked up and said "i can do that" and Ray just laughed at him and Samir claims he pulled 3 reps with it, who knows?

Iran or where ever the hell it is, should be call total access; because of the amount of steroid, you can get over there without a problem. If I wanted to be an IFBB pro I'll just move out of the country and visit time to time when I do contests. How hard is that?
-
One of the greats for sure, as well as a scathing condemnation of the current bodybuilding scene. Can anyone honestly say that anyone today looks even romotely as good, or better then he did? What is sadder about this is is he wasnt even the best of his era, (or at least not nearly the most consistent.)
Also you have to love a guy that got into a physical altercation with The Master Blaster himself....
M!

Iran & Lebanon are 2 different countries:
Iran is the massive country next to Iraq & border with Saudi Arabia. They are extreme muslims, and definitely Middle Eastern
(http://www.worldcountries.info/Maps/Region/MiddleEast-450-Iran.jpg)
Lebanon is the much smaller country on the Mediterranean sea near Cyprus and Turkey, border with Israel. Much like Turkey & Israel, Lebanon is considered an European country in many ways even though they're geographically in the Middle East. For Sport qualifiers as an example, they're grouped in European groups. They're 50% Christian, hence the war that destroyed the country.

Whatever you can share bout the man, the training, the diet, the "supplements". Not often one can hear bout a Mr O's "inside stories" from a training partner/someone who knew him then.

also the details about his left torn triceps which was torn in car accident in 1985 or 1986.. without this injury i believe samir would have done better in the late 80s olympias..

Whatever you can share bout the man, the training, the diet, the "supplements". Not often one can hear bout a Mr O's "inside stories" from a training partner/someone who knew him then.
Well I’ve posted it several times so I don’t want to bore everyone. Yes Samir was one of my favorites so it was great to get a chance to train with and hang out with him. He autographed a picture for my parents on time when they came out to visit and I found it when I was home for Christmas a few years ago I found that picture in the house I inherited.
Samir LOVED to do JoeWeider imitations and joke around. Our third training partner liked to do Crystal Meth before training but Samir and I did not. They guy talked real fast because of the Meth so Samir and I started this machine gun sound that was our way of making fun of Steve. To this day when we see each other we do the machine gun sound.
When I met Samir he was still following a variation of a routine that was given to him by George Turner. Samir had lived in George's city for a period of time before turning Pro and before moving to L.A. and had made a great deal of gains on this routine, so did I. George wrote an article about it back in 1978-79 in one of the Weider magazines. It was the first three on one off routine anyone ever wrote about. Before that guys would either do a 4 day a week routine splitting the body into 2 days and hitting each workout 2 times a week OR they’d train 6 days a week splitting the body 3 ways. With Samir it was Day 1 Chest and Back, Day two Legs, Day three Shoulders and Arms, Day 4 rest, Repeat then 2 days off, Repeat then One Day off. Three exercises on a body part with 11 working sets total per body part for large muscle groups and about 9 for smaller groups.
We’d vary the choice of movements each workout. Example Chest Start with Incline Barbell Press 4 sets then Flat Bench 4 sets then Cable fly's 3 sets. Reps went the typical 12-6 reps. Samir was VERY strong. He did Reps in Bent over rows with 405 and one time when we were squatting he had 315 for his first work set but when he finished the set of squats he proceeded to 8 reps of behind the neck standing presses to our amazement. I got real strong and real big on this routine... to that point my biggest ever. At one point Samir changed the split but kept the bodypart workouts the same.
The new split was Day one a.m chest/back day 1 p.m. shoulder/arm day 2 rest, day three legs, day 4 rest, Repeat, repeat, repeat. I did not like this split as well but Samir liked it. Rest periods... there were three of us so we just rotated through. Cadence was actually fairly fast 1/0/2. Basic exercises for the most part but he always had a favorite variation or two that would be difficult to show here, nothing earth-shatering in terms of "some secret movement" though.
His contest diet was low carb and “supplement” dose was well under 1000 mg./week…

About 5 or 5 months in 1981. T, DD, Ana, D and Winny V mostly. Not all together. Don't remember details on the diet but moslty food... just a few supps.

In 81 he must've been in great shape! Obviously the man has great bbing genes and response to training, aas, but sounds like a hard worker too.
Ive seen shots of him in late 70's and 80, and the changes he made to his physique in the early 80's were great.
Thanks Max_Rep

By today's definition of weak points, back then, it was considered "normal" development.

Think it was due to an argument involving Billy Smith, Flex Wheeler and something that happenned in 1993.

I just got off the phone with Samir.

Actually looking back it is refreshing to realize how well put together these guys were from that era...and they all looked different.....they basically stayed true to their body type unlike the guys today who all try to be mass monsters.... the guys today look like they came off an assembly line...they basically look the same....I really think Samir would win a lot if he competed today..he may lack size but his conditioning is beautiful...
do you think the judges today would accept his physique? or would he marked down due to the lack of size?

great point..that is totally missing today... very little individuality, although individualism as an ideal has fallen out of favor in America for a more conformist viewpoint. Everyone wants to look the same, use the same products, be the same person.

Very true,inthe old Muscle Builder and Power mag they would have a silhouette pic of each guy in the Olympia and you could tell who it was by the shape of each guy.If they did that today in the Olympia they would all look vitually the same in silhouette.

HAHA.... That pic of Robby and Samir with the 2 chicks are from a 1982/1983 Muscle and Fitness issue I haven't seen in years. What's funny is they were trying to be all politically correct by matching Robby up with a black chick. God forbid he would have a white chick hanging from his arm!!

HAHA.... That pic of Robby and Samir with the 2 chicks are from a 1982/1983 Muscle and Fitness issue I haven't seen in years. What's funny is they were trying to be all politically correct by matching Robby up with a black chick. God forbid he would have a white chick hanging from his arm!!
And the irony is, RR had numerous white girlfriends over the years.

damn he still looks insane.

This is a great shot

how much did he weight?
For his Olympia win he weighed just 188 pounds but after that he usually competed around 200-205 pounds.
-
he said in a Flex article from a few years ago that Mike and Ray Mentzer were deadlifting 585 one day and Samir walked up and said "i can do that" and Ray just laughed at him and Samir claims he pulled 3 reps with it, who knows?
whether he did or didn't,,, they were all bodybuilders,,, all chased the sandow, only 1 got it so...
-
he was a big proponent of "the rythmic bounce" or controlled cheating, lol.
gregg valentino taught me that. say what you want about gregg, he did train out in venice 70's , 80's with some names... and he knows bb'n training and philosophy. he knew samir.

awesome physique, not a bloated mess with big thighs that rub together or huge hamstrings and ass. looks stupid especially in clothes. samir had a really good classic physique.
