Samir Bannout is a pro bodybuilder and a Mr. Olympia champion from a far different era. A perfect example of this is the fact that Banout won the Olympia weight in at only 196 pounds. In today’s bodybuilding – you’d likely find the lightest Men’s Open pro bodybuilder weighing no less than 225 pounds – and that’s even on the lighter side. Many pro bodybuilders today weight closer to 250 pounds or more. This very example is a core reason that Bannout thinks something has shifted in modern bodybuilding. In our interview we discuss this shift as well as the future of bodybuilding as a sport.
