Former Mr. Olympia - Samir Bannout

Samir Bannout posing routine from 1983 Mr. Olympia contest. He won the entire competition, but he never managed do get into his shape from that particular year. Three months before Christmas 1983, Samir Bannout flexed his “decorated” lumbar region in Munich, West Germany, for the IFBB Mr. Olympia judges. Since then, the high definition found in a muscular lower back has been called a “Christmas tree”.



Bannout’s IFBB pro career spanned 53 contests; his 11 attempts at the IFBB Mr. Olympia are a record among those who have won the title as he did in 1983.

  • Great routine. Bannout is a legend of the sport. I think his main flaw is a small chest but other than that a great physique. Mr. Olympia routines in the 80s were so epic!

  • I agree, he still had the freakiest looking tricep striations I have ever seen to this day! His physique in 83' was the 80's flex wheeler of 93'.
