Bodybuilder Samson Dauda is gearing up for the upcoming 2023 Arnold Classic, scheduled for March 2-5 in Columbus, Ohio. In a recent The Menace podcast on YouTube, Milos Sarcev revealed he convinced Dauda to use trenbolone for the first time of his career.
Samson Dauda first gained attention for his incredible symmetry and overall proportions as a Men’s Open competitor in the IFBB Pro league. He emerged as a budding prospect with consistent top-ten finishes in a few shows, including the 2019 IFBB Wings of Strength Chicago Pro and the 2019 IFBB Vancouver Pro.
The mass monster kept working his way up the ranks with participation in the 2020 Tampa Pro, Europa Pro Championships, and British Grand Prix. He came close to winning the Monsterzym Pro but fell short of Lee Seung Chul. ‘The Nigerian Lion’ scored another two runner-up finishes at the 2021 Arnold Classic UK and 2021 Romania Muscle Fest Pro. He also placed fourth twice last year – at the Arnold Classic – and a week later at the Boston Pro.
Dauda is coming off an impressive season that concluded with a sixth-place finish at the 2022 Mr. Olympia. He’s set to make his way to the 2023 Arnold Classic in less than two weeks. Two-time 212 Olympia champion Shaun Clarida took notice of the threat Dauda presented and hinted at a future battle on stage.
’The Nigerian Lion’ is not short on confidence going into the show. After competing with fellow standouts like Nick Walker at the latest Olympia, Dauda believes in his chances of winning more than ever.
Earlier this month, Dauda opened up about his experience competing at the Olympia in Vegas last December. He had to deal with the backstage production issues and waited about five hours before he got to step on stage.

Samson Dauda will finally take trenbolone for the 2023 Arnold Classic, says Milos Sarcev
In a recent YouTube video, coach Milos Sarcev said he persuaded Samson Dauda to use Trenbolone for the first time in his career for the upcoming 2023 Arnold Classic.
“There’s a certain supplement that he didn’t ever want to use because he thought it would be affecting him,” said Sarcev. “So, psychologically he wouldn’t be able to take it. But I finally convinced him to do take it. It’s trenbolone.”
“That’s one thing that we didn’t use all this time because it would affect him badly so he didn’t want to use it. He didn’t want to do it earlier.”
“When my athletes don’t want to do something I don’t push it… every next contest comes, I say, ‘should we maybe consider some?’ And he goes, ‘no.’ So he’s not going to do it. This time, I told him let’s do a little teeny tiny spit in the ocean and he loved it. We started with 100mg a week, then 150, then 200, and then we had 300.“
Sarcev further shared his breakdown of the show, predicting Dauda to beat everyone else.
“I still have Samson winning, Andrew Jacked second, Big Ramy third, Nick Walker fourth, and Clarida fifth.
In addition to Sarcev, former Mr. Olympia champ Samir Bannout backed Dauda to come out on top of the contest. As of late, Dauda shared a massive physique update before the nearing 2023 Arnold Classic. He showed off his insane arms in another impressive update as well.
