Anyone know if Lee Labrada hates him now? Samir used to be married to Lee's sister but they got divorced (not sure if that went amicably or not), so did he and Lee stay friends?

hard to find any flaws with samir. too bad he only got it all together that one year

Post by: chris_mason on March 19, 2007, 05:57:32 PM
The ONLY flaw I ever saw was his waist got a bit blocky later in his career.  He also had trouble coming in consistently shredded, but when he did, AWESOME!

samir suffered the middle eastern weak point known as average arms (size wize),,i been talking about this problem couple times on getbig,,he didnt inject no seo thus couldnt have mustaf arm size,,
but his physiqe was complete symetric balanced and conditioned to the max for the era talked about..because he was aware of the arm problem,,,he could have had a lot bigger delts if aimed at it,,,like 99% of middle eastern origin bodybuilders his delts were a lot stronger than his arms

he brought the good out and kept the weak points unoticed,,smart and one of the best in his time

Franco '81, Dickerson '82.  I agree he couldnt touch Haney

Certainly Dickerson in 82! Samir was awesome to train with.

Ahhh! You cannot tease us like that! You must give us the insider information!

I don't know about '82. He wasn't as shredded as he was in '83. In 1982, I would have given the win to Casey Viator who deserved it and in 1981, we had Padilla and Platz would deserved it more than Franco.

I am going to take that as he was a pretty strong and ferocious trainer.

max rep, what training style did samir use?
Title: Re: WOW SAMIR LOOKED PRETTY CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Max_Rep on March 20, 2007, 06:51:21 PM
I am going to take that as he was a pretty strong and ferocious trainer.

Strong yes. Bent rows 405 times 8-10 etc.

Ferocious... like a lion. No really yes but often needed to be pushed to that level.

max rep, what training style did samir use?

Volume training.

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. 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 bodypart with 11 working sets total per bodypart.

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 (with a leg "kick") to our amazement.

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. 

Personally I like more sets but this worked well at the time.
