About Samir Bannout

Samir at the early stage of his life not interested in the field of bodybuilding. He was not allowed to leave the house alone but his parents gave him the permission to go to see his brother lifting weights. In his mind he never felt good about lifting weights and smelly gym. But when he visits the gym where his brother trains he get impressed by seeing the different sections for boxing, weight lifting and bodybuilding etc. He then saw a man lifting heavy weights and a huge muscle maturity. Because Samir is round about 100 pounds at that time so he inspired by the man very much and thinks to have a muscle is very important for the person skinny like me. From there on he decided to lift weights and to look huge. IFFB World Amateur Championships is his first competition, where he won and get the status of IFFB Pro.
