Sammir and Mentzer ....

[NelsonMuntz]

amazing how cartoony these guys physiques were at around the 200lbs mark.

goes to show that bigger does not equal better

[MAXX]

yeah no guts from modern bb drugs and just good balanced builds from heavy training

[Eric2]

Serge looks crazy there.

WoooSHHHHHHH

Totally irrelevant point:  David Dearth and Porter Cottrell were impressive on stage, but very VERY diminutive in person...

Dearth is really small but he was able to get a great illusion on stage. Always one of the better conditioned guys...

5'6 I believe 190/205 onstage I think and cotrell same until he went to 220 or close but lost his lines a bit heavier..

Was lucky enough to meet Samir at the British Grand Prix in Nottingham in the '90s after the show - I went multiple times so can't be sure if it was before or after the Momo tragedy.  He was an absolute professional, with a beaming smile (no homo #1) as he clearly loved his job and talked to us all for a super long period.  Didn't charge $20 for the pic with him either...

Talking of tragedies, I also met Ray McNeil, maybe at the same event?? (and squeezed his leg - no homo) even though I can't find him in the listings!?!?

What happened to Porter ?  He was Levrone's training partner early 90s, as I remember...

RETIRED still looks good not bbing big but muscular.he had a good run won some shows placed in mr o top ten few times ..

[Nether Animal]

He left around the time that Labrada did, right? Two smaller guys that just couldn't compete at that mid-late '90s level..

I THINK COTRELL WENT TO 99/2000,LABRADA 96

Yep those days are long gone and what a shame.

[mazrim]

Great pic!

Nubret killing it with style.

[Slik]

Samir n Robby r on my lifting belt. Autographs I mean.

[Dokey111]

Nubret is what world champion bodybuilders used to look like

And Samir was at best 5'6", so that's a lot of muscle he's carrying around on a relatively short body.

Labrada (5'3"-5'4") would have made Samir look like a giant. Here you see a pic of 5'2" Danny Padilla and 5'3"-5'4" Momo Makaway next to 5'6" Samir. You also have 5'5" and change Chris Dickerson and 5'6 3/4" Tom Platz and 5'6.5" Jonny Fuller there as well (all on the bottom row).

[Nether Animal]

Look, they all have full heads of hair!

[oldschoolfan]

jessup  had a great build as well

[Slik]

Look, they all have full heads of hair!

[Fortress]

Right?? When do you see physiques like that?  Never...

[dj181]

Good lord they look amazing.

yep, yep

i'd say that's a high anabolic low androgen look, higher dose of deca, primo, var, winny, lower dose of test, tren

[ProudVirgin69]

Wow!  They look more impressive with clothes on

[mazrim]

Nubret was known for loving his tren.
