The sport of bodybuilding is famous for its mass monsters and insanely shredded physiques. The sport has evolved a lot over the years, with the standards of the game-changing every once in a few years. While there was a time back during the golden era when athletes used to be a little bit on the softer side, they also carried significantly smaller sizes compared to modern bodybuilders. However, now the sport consists of out-of-this-world athletes who are humongous and carry a single body fat percentage at the same time.

One perfect example of an athlete who carries the perfect amount of muscle mass, symmetry, vascularity, and low body fat is none other than IFBB Pro and one of the hottest prospects of this year’s Olympia, Samson Dauda. The Nigerian bodybuilding legend is currently at a whopping 330 lbs weight, carrying lean muscle mass equivalent to that of a lion. Rightly known as the ‘Nigerian Lion,’ Dauda gives his honest take on the sport of bodybuilding during a short interview with Muscular Development Magazine.

The sport of bodybuilding heavily relies on a combination of all the aspects like size, leanness, symmetry, separation in muscles, grain look, etc. If an athlete lacks even one of these things, they might lose a few points. It’s important to have all the body parts in their peak condition so that one thing does not look out of proportion compared to other body parts. When it comes to proportions and symmetry, Samson Dauda is one of the most complete athletes in the current Olympia lineup. 

Dauda, who placed sixth at last year’s contest, was recently interviewed. Amidst other things, he shared his two cents on what bodybuilding means to him. He stated, “This is what bodybuilding is to me. It’s the building of the perfect symmetrical body. It’s about having all the packages ticked.”
