Samson Dauda, the 2024 Mr. Olympia champion, shares his journey from a skinny youth to a towering bodybuilder weighing 330 pounds in the off-season. Struggling to gain weight and muscle earlier in life, Dauda credits his success to eating wholesome, home-cooked foods and implementing a unique workout regimen. He emphasizes high-rep supersets that maximize muscle tension and optimize time efficiency in his training. After switching to bodybuilding full-time in 2020, he mastered techniques to overcome growth plateaus and achieve significant results in his physique.
When I was young, I struggled to put on weight. I was one of those guys that could get away with eating everything and I didn't put on a pound.
You're putting a lot of strain in the muscle over a long period, which is essential for growth.
High-rep supersets can boost muscle growth and allow me to maximize the time my muscles are working.
My typical routine involves back-to-back sets of exercise that start with a high number of reps at light weight.
