OUR LEGACY

OUR STORY
The year was 1979: The Golden Era
During one fateful meeting at the muscle and fitness headquarters in Woodland Hills, CA, Joe Weider “The Godfather of Bodybuilding” and the soon to be Mr. Universe Samir Bannout were chatting about the sport and the impact which they could make while working together. In these conversations Joe famously said, “Samir, I am going to call you “The Lion of Lebanon” with Samir then asking “Why?”
Joe responded “Samir, the lion is the king of the jungle & you have the capacity to become a king of this sport, I really do believe that in my heart.”
From that moment on, the lion of Lebanon was born!
Today the godfather’s legacy proudly continues through Samir, his lion bodybuilding athletes and coaching team who come from all parts of the world and walks of life. We are the kings and masters of our destiny working hard with to make our mark and be among the best in the world.
