Bodybuilder Samson Dauda is packing on serious size during the 2026 off-season. On March 18, he broke down his current training split that helped him grow 24-inch arms. In addition, he discussed his high-protein diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samson Dauda<\/a> reached the pinnacle of his career in 2024 after laying claim to the Mr. Olympia crown<\/a>. Before his title defense in 2025, he was told all season long that he needed a drier look with better conditioning.<\/p>\n

Dauda focused on bringing a more streamlined package to the 2025 Mr. Olympia<\/a>, but his efforts backfired. His back and legs lacked the width and density needed to stand out against stockier contenders like Hadi Choopan and reigning champ Derek Lunsford. As a result, he dropped to fourth place.<\/p>\n

He attempted to rebound at the Prague Pro<\/a>, but took second place in a close show against Martin Fitzwater. With Dauda finally enjoying a much-needed break from competition, he filled his fans in on how he\u2019s adjusted his training and diet as of late.<\/p>\n

Samson Dauda Outlines 2026 Off-Season Training Split and Diet, Talks Growing 24-Inch Arms<\/h2>\n

In the video, Dauda touched on his physique goals for the Men\u2019s Open class. He emphasized that while size is important, symmetry also plays a massive role in contests.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou can be big, but you\u2019ve got to be symmetrical. Everything has to flow right. You can\u2019t have one muscle behind the other one. It all has to sit right. That\u2019s where that symmetry comes into play. You really have to be built that way and have the structure to carry that muscle in that tone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, you\u2019re big, every muscle is built equally, now you have to be extremely defined. Your skin has to be like paper. You\u2019ve got to look like an anatomy chart basically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
