The reigning Arnold Classic champion, bodybuilder Samson Dauda, posted a physique update earlier. Dauda was among the most promising bodybuilders who made their Mr. Olympia debut last year. However, he is one of the few who have exceeded their hype. Within a year, the bodybuilding prodigy won the Arnold Classic under the tutelage of Milos Sarcev. He aims to capture the Mr. Olympia crown this year.

In his latest physique update, Samson Dauda showed off his massive physique. Weighing 330 pounds in the offseason, Dauda is one of the mass monsters of the bodybuilding world. However, despite his size, the bodybuilder has preserved the aesthetic appeal of his physique. The champion bodybuilder compared himself to Thanos and shook the bodybuilding world with his update.

Is it only a matter of time until Samson Dauda wins the Olympia?

With a little over three months left until Mr. Olympia, the offseason is almost at an end. After winning the 2023 Arnold Classic, the bodybuilding icon is brimming with confidence. However, while Samson believes he will inevitably win the Mr. Olympia title, it’ll be a tough task. Dauda will have to defeat elites like Nick Walker, Andrew Jacked, Big Ramy, and others.

While he defeated all three bodybuilders at the Arnold Classic, last year’s runner-up Derek Lunsford and defending champion Hadi Choopan skipped the Arnold Classic. However, with his latest physique update, Dauda has impressed fans and fellow bodybuilders as well.
