I like the story he told in Golds that Viator and Mentzer were trying to deadlift 500lbs after training back and failed. He said he went up to the weight weighing about 190lbs and did reps with it.

Samir told this story?  ::)

Hopefully he didnt mean Ray Mentzer. 

Jay Mentzer is the one on the left.

Saw Samir in a Palumbo group interview after the Olympia. Seems like a cool dude. No ego.

Also Samir won the Mr O - Lou didn’t.


Though Samir did have consistency issues with his conditioning.

He had very good arm development even then.
