While the big man is not expected to compete in the 2026 Arnold Classic, he will instead focus on avenging his surprise fall to fourth place at the “O” by working towards a second Mr Olympia win in his next outing. To do that, Dauda has previously explained that he wants to add as much mass as possible, and he’s certainly doing so in an explosive manner.
“We are on fire today,” said Dauda, as video footage he shared with his 1.6 million Instagram followers showed the effects of his hot and heavy back day. “I smelled like a chimney,” he joked.
Samson Dauda’s “On Fire” back workout
For those wondering which exercises caused the heat, Dauda repeated the following exercises on back day:
- Front-Facing Lat Pulldown Machine
- Seated cable center row with narrow handle
- Standing Lat Cable Pushdowns
- Plate loaded, bent over driving machine
- Seated rowing machine
As the footage showed, Samson Duada is a popular candidate as he prepares for the 2026 Mr Olympia competition in Las Vegas next October. The former rugby player has confirmed that he will continue to train under the tutelage of his wife Marlena, but is also open to working with other coaches to present the best possible package on stage.
“I don’t do this alone,” Dauda explained The beautiful battle podcast. “She dragged me into this sport, brought me here (laughs) and from now on she is responsible for everything that happens to me,” the body builder confirmed of their concrete partnership. Well, it’s great to see the big man’s romantic life smoldering just as much as those gym sessions!
