Recently on facebook he said that the best genetics he has seen to be a multiple Mr Olympia belonged to Defendis if he would have applied himself.

Applied himself?..Defendis trained like a madman- if he had worked harder he would have ended up in a box..

Finally,someone can confirm that Defendis looked as good in real life,as in his photos.It seemed the man, at his best, came in conditioned and had a very complete and balanced physique.  From both the front and the back,the guy looked awesome.

Always surprisesd me that we didn't see him on the Olympia stage ,in the late 80's/early 90's. Guess there's a story there.

I think he looked fantastic - great shape, not super huge. Don't know about his workouts... probably intense but  more of a myth.
Pretty much a great blend of genetics, drugs and hard, consistent training.

C'mon now that was uncalled for. Back in 2007 Max_Rep introduced me to Samir and he couldn't have been a more nicer, genuine person. We spoke for a good 1/2 hour between pre-judging and the night show. I told him I was there at Golds when a famous pic of him was taken when he was getting ready for the Universe. He didn't remember me at that time but he remembered a kid watching...that was me.

It sounded like he applied himself plenty. Every time I've see his name it's been on a list for hardest training bodybuilders of all time.

He was every bit the bodybuilder as either Rory or Newman... Mendenhall on the other hand; was from another planet...

Anyone doing 50 sets per body part is doing so because he's full of stims all the time...Probably didn't make it as a pro because Stims will catch up to anyone...
