Last month, the 2022 Mr. Olympia concluded with Hadi Choopan being crowned the champion in the Open division category. In a video posted on the Old School Labs YouTube channel, Samir Bannout was seen interacting with John Hansen and Nick Trigili. During the interaction, the 1983 Mr. Olympia champion spoke about bodybuilders injecting substances into their calves.

Bannout said:

The former Mr. Olympia insisted that injecting into the calves is not a good idea. He then had some words of advice for bodybuilders who inject drugs into their lower body. Samir Bannout said:

The former bodybuilder asked the current generation of bodybuilders to take his advice not to use drugs to enhance their calf muscles.

Samir Bannout speaks about Iain Valliere and bodybuilders using drugs in their calves

Speaking on the topic of bodybuilders using enhancement drugs for their calves, Samir mentioned Iain Valliere. Iain Valliere finished in 11th place at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. Bannout said:

Samir Bannout then pointed out examples of bodybuilders whose calves were ruined due to calf-enhancing drugs by bringing up the names of Ahmad Haider and Dennis Wolf. The former bodybuilder said:

Bannout insisted that Dennis Wolf wouldn’t go out of his way to inject drugs into his calves. The former bodybuilder claimed that he was sure that the coaches of Dennis would have instructed him to take injections in his calves and it backfired. He continued:

Samir Bannout further stated that he wanted the current generation of bodybuilders to listen to his advice. He said:

Samir Bannout, the 1983 Mr. Olympia champion, has these strong words of advice for the current generation of bodybuilders, but it’s up to them if they’re going to listen to the words of a Mr. Olympia title winner.
