Intro
Samson Dauda is an up-and-coming professional bodybuilder. Over the last 2 years, he has not only placed in the top 6 at Mr. Olympia, but has also won the Arnold Classic. He has proven that he belongs on stage with the top-level Mr. Olympians and is someone to keep a close eye on. His bodybuilding nickname is the Nigerian Lion, due to his nationality being from Nigeria, although he proudly represents his current home of Britain. He is listed as 5'11'' and an incredible 275 pounds, with rumors putting him at a mind-boggling 330 pounds in the offseason! His age is 31 years old.
Arms: 22 inches
Chest: 55 inches
Waist 33 inches
Early life
Samson was born in Nigeria but moved to the UK at a young age for better opportunities. Growing up he played rugby and was quite good at it, able to run faster and overpower his competition, even older kids. His teammates and coaches were so impressed with his raw strength that they convinced him to get into bodybuilding as a teenager. Although the gym owner begged him to compete in an upcoming show, Samson was not interested in wearing a trunk and learning how to pose in front of strangers, so he stuck weight training recreationally.
Around the age of 20, he came across a video and photos of the 2013 Mr. Olympia and was blown away at the sheer size of Phil Heath and Kai Greene. He instantly became hungry to see what his body was capable of and this motivated him to get back into bodybuilding and start taking it more seriously.
In 2014, he entered his first competition and won.
Competition history
Samson got 8th place at the 2015 IFBB Amateur Olympia UK which he wasn't happy about. He took a year away from competing to hone his craft and set a goal to earn a pro card. In 2017, he finished 5th at the IFBB Arnold Classic Amateur Europe and 2nd at the UKBBF British Championships.
He won his pro card at the 2017 IFBB Amateur Diamond Cup Rome by earning 1st place. The next year he got 5th place at the 2018 EVLS Prague Showdown which was his first professional competition.
Over the next few years, he competed in at least 3 major shows a year. His best finishes were 2nd at the 2019 British Grand Prix, 2nd at the Monsterzym Pro, and 2nd at the 2021 Arnold Classic UK.
Although he wasn't winning any competitions, he was starting to gain the attention of the other competitors, who were noticing his physique improvements and his amazing conditioning. After finishing 3rd at the 2021 KO Pro Egypt and Yamamoto Cup Pro, he knew his time was almost here where he would earn his first professional win.
Later that year he took first place at the 2021 EVLS Prague Pro.
The next year, he entered the 2022 Arnold Classic with nobody giving him any chance of finishing even in the top 5. He proved them wrong by earning a close 4th place finish, just behind well-known bodybuilders including William Bonac and Brandon Curry. This time, he was ready for Mr. Olympia and wanted to continue proving people wrong. Some bodybuilders thought he could do well including Chris Cormier, others didn’t even pay him any attention, but Samson relished the underdog role. He ended up finishing an impressive 6th place, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Mr._Olympia a mere 6 total points behind Big Ramy and ahead of Hunter Labrada.
It was predicted that he would do well at the 2023 Arnold Classic, even though competition would be very stiff, and perhaps finish in the top 3 or 4. He ended up getting 1st place! We look forward to seeing how high he can finish at Mr. Olympia over the next couple of years.
You can watch this video about a typical day for Samson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5sVjHi4tUc
Here is a video of him in 2023 guest-posing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teHf_LnqCfg
Training
Like most pro bodybuilders, Samson follows a split routine where he isolates various muscle groups. He will spend an entire session on his legs, for example, then the next day does his chest, then arms, etc. Typically he sticks to a 5-day split routine which allows him to destroy his muscle groups intensely on each split day and then move on to the next session, while allowing the muscle from the day before to recover.
Here is a video showing how intense his workouts are, you can see him cursing and screaming due to how much pain he is putting his body through. No pain = No gain? Seems like it for Samson! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzzRIVEiSXw
When it comes to arms, one of his strategies is to use machines to hit them at creative angles to get a fierce pump. He then likes to do isolation free weights including preacher curls and rope pushdowns, making sure to stimulate both sides of the arms.
Nutrition
Samson is a very large man and they might have to grant him a better nickname than the Nigerian Lion due to his sheer size. To get this big it takes incredible genetics but also a diet that is 2nd to none.
One of the key components of his diet is consuming a lot of quality foods. His top protein sources are eggs, steak, beef, and chicken.
For carbs, he gets in a lot of sweet potatoes, rice, and fruits.
He also gets in plenty of vegetables, oats, and supplements throughout the day.
Social Media and Family
Samson has a youtube channel with videos of him training here> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClUyQbX3Q9Q3En5aE3pkzRA
His Instagram page is now up to 350K followers and growing https://www.instagram.com/samson__dauda/?hl=en . One of the best photos is of him accepting the trophy at the Arnold Classic https://www.instagram.com/p/CucLFZ5OofJ/?hl=en
His wife Marlenka and his dog Cerberus are his biggest fans and he loves them dearly. https://www.instagram.com/p/CuuhtE2M4xI/?hl=en
He has 2 sponsorships that he features including HOSSTILE ATHLETE and Gym_pin where he offers a coupon code for both.
Steroid Use
According to Milos Sarcev, Samson was convinced to use Trenbolone, after repeatedly saying no. He talks about it in this video on one of Dennis James' shows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oprf4x3235U&ab_channel=MuscleandFitness It seems like Samson shied away from steroids early in his career but has since gotten more aggressive to be able to compete against his peers.
Here is an example of what he may use going into a show:
12IU's per day HGH
6IU's per day Insulin
120mcg per day Clenbuterol
1000mgs Testosterone Propionate
1200mgs Equipoise
1000mgs Masteron Propionate
200mgs Winstrol
500mgs Trenbolone Enanthate, switching to 1000mgs Trenbolone Acetate.
