It will take more than muscle for Samson Dauda<\/a> to reclaim the Mr. Olympia title. Ahead of the event, Dauda took to YouTube on August 20 and showed off a leg workout before breaking down his posing approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNow, we\u2019re in that stage of it\u2019s time to step things up a little bit. It\u2019s time to put the foot down a bit more on the pedal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dauda earned the 2024 Mr. Olympia<\/a> title with an aesthetic balance of mass and conditioning. He walked into the 2025 Arnold Classic<\/a> aiming to win a second title, but was denied by Derek Lunsford<\/a>. They rematched at the Mr. Olympia<\/a> last year, and the night fell apart for Dauda.\u00a0<\/p>\n His pursuit of a drier, more conditioned physique backfired. The Nigerian mass monster lacked fullness, and it watered down his back poses. He ultimately took fourth place, leaving him eager for redemption. However, at the 2025 Prague Pro<\/a>, his bounce-back mission was thwarted. Martin Fitzwater<\/a> narrowly beat him, which pushed Dauda to take a long off-season. With his return to the stage almost here, he offered an inside look at his preparations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Find his exercises from the video below:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n
