Dauda is all set for the Arnold Classic UK. He came fully prepared, working on all of his weak areas. The social media post showcased his much better conditioning than before; the chest seemed more full and round. The veins were easily noticeable through his paper-thin skin, and the separation lines and his abs were on point. With that, it looks like Dauda is all set to give Choopan a challenging competition at the Arnold Classic UK.
Despite having health issues earlier, Samson Dauda’s physique is to the point of showcasing his unwavering commitment to the sport and improving himself. The Nigerian Lion has also parted ways with his former coach, Milos Sarcev, after being dethroned by the Persian Wolf at the Arnold Classic in 2024.
He is entering the Arnold Classic with his wife, Marlena Gustowska, as a mentor. Additionally, Samson’s wife is maintaining his peak bulk and training him for the show. The image posted showcased that Dauda is well-maintained, well-trained, and all set for a fierce battle. He captioned the post,” Walk by faith, not by sight,” hinting at an intense battle of strength at the Classic. Fans were there to support him and make bold predictions for the Nigerian Lion.
