Ben sat there smiling at Samson for ages without saying a word. His smile said all the words. Just looking at Samson like a proud brother. You know the Hosstile team are a tight-knit group
Although Samson and Phil are the only 2 to have the Gold Sandow, Samson is the only person in the world with a Gold Sandow AND the Arnold Classic trophy.
I am from Germany and got up in the middle of the night to see the finals. When Samson won i got goosebumbs and teared up a little bit because he just deserves it so much. Whenever i hear Fouad talk about Samson you can hear so much joy in his voice, so much passion about seeing his friend thrive. ❤
This is by far, the most detailed Olympia experience ever described. The way he speaks about how the mind plays tricks when the body is looking fine. Wow!
Dude, I was in the crowd and the chant started and I go teary eyes and start chanting too. That was INCREDIBLE. And I also jumped and screamed when he said and new hahahaha
Been following Samson about 5 years when he was traveling around the world just to get enough points to qualify for the OLYMPIA. Watched all his training videos and too see him grow before my eyes into a champion is nothing but amazing. Samson is a true testament to hardworking, dedication and believing in yourself, especially when no one else did. Good on you Hosstile team for believing in Samson and signing him on. I would like to think that your supplements played a key role in his success. We as fans can't get enough of this great story and human being Samson Dauda
Fouad: Go ahead James, you want to say something? James says 3 words then Fouad talks over him 😂 Fouad does it on every podcast! It’s still the best podcast around, just give the guests a chance
Someone needs to make a Comic about how everyone laughed at Mel&Samson, Samson being angry but keeping calm, training with rage & then winning it for THEM BOTH!! Thats an amazing story!@ Congratz Samson&Fouad
Samson should change his zoom name, Mr Olympia has a better ring to it😇😂💪 huge Congrats Samson, been cheering for you the last 3 years, so worth that title ✊💪
I have been watching Samson way before he came into the radar. I still remember his battles with Rafa, Nathan and even when he wasn't winning shows, the man came in a little bit better, always, be it the improvements, or the posing, or the sheer mentality. I wasn't surprised when Mel coached him, because I saw her supporting him all these years. I remember how happy he was when he got his Olympia jacket, I still have that screenshot which I shared with him. To this day I have never met a man so appreciative of the fruits of his labour. I truly believe that he is one of the rare bodybuilders in history that has no upper limit. Your story is the story of persistence Samson. You are where you are because you never gave up. Congrats my man The Mountain Dog would be proud.
Rooted for SAMSON from the start. I even messaged him telling him he is the next Mr. O when he left for O2 and sacrificing for his family. Man so happy for them truly.
Ever since I listened to Samson when he was doing sit ups in the hotel. I said I MUST FOLLOW AND SUPPORT THIS MAN. Humble, genuine and a very honest gentleman. Olympia title was so deserved. Have an amazing day everyone. ❤
Another factor to why Samson is so popular & why we all love him is through Hosstile & the podcast. It has given us the insight into how hard he has worked and is the classic rags to riches story. Done the UK proud!
When Sammy won, man I also felt like I won too, damn, I was hold my excitement cause I don't want my mom and my wife to freak out... I was flexing and everything, screaming in a low-whispering tone, man it felt really great.... Thank you uncle fouad and bc crew... Bro Sammy congratulations again brother 🙏🇵🇭❤️
I root for people on this podcast because they come onto the podcast to talk about it. This is why I root for this cast of knuckleheads above all the others no matter who they are. I hope James, Martin, Urs, Roman, and all the current cast win win win
Samson is the People's Champion and also now Mr. Olympia...not only did he show his workouts weekly on RU-vid, but also allowed us to follow his day-to-day home life and workouts, uploading IG stories everyday and even taking fan questions on the weekend, which is not the norm with most bodybuilders.
Samson not only won the Mr Olympia but he also won our hearts! He trully is the pinnacle of "work hard, make your dreams come true", living and breathing the Hosstile mentality " Let no adversity stand in your way"! So happy for him, especially knowing he is a good lad! Ain't no person that meet Samson that will say otherwise! Good guys do win!
Regardless of that big gold trophy.samson is a universal friend to us all if I explain bodybuilding or the mr olympia to anyone outside 5he sport samson is the one I show.the sulete the structure the muscle bellies the size the posing everything just represents bbing just like cbum has set the standards for classic samson is now the front man of open there was ronnie there was phil there was cutler.Dorian. samsons going to be on every gym wall in years to come as a great. Loyal to hostile loyal to his wife loyal to the sport and loyal to the fans one of the best deserved wins in years.hadi winning was boring derek even more boring samson has made it 3xciting again ❤
The first thing I did last weekend while watching the live stream was send Samson a DM congratulating him. And my exact words were “thank you champ, it feels like I’ve won an Olympia myself”. Congratulations to the Nigerian Lion!!
I still remember almost three years ago I had a talk with a much older coworker who used to bodybuild in the 90s. He was reflecting on how sad he was that the overwhelming push towards mass had turned the sport away from the soul of what he loved (he was a big aesthetics/mass with class guy). I agreed with him, but told him that there was this one guy named Samson Dauda who I thought could be the guy to turn things around. He looked at a couple pictures and said that he really wished THAT was the type of physique that the judges rewarded "but I guess its just a dream". Flash forward...the man finally did it. I can't wait to show my old friend next time we work a job together. Bravo to Samson, and I hope this is the start of a dynasty. Him winning means genuinely great things for bodybuilding.
Love the new clothing. But mau i ask if you have a UK outlet as it costs more money for shipping than for the clothing. Now that we have MR olympia from the UK, could you possibly consider it? ⭕️🙏
I was already a big Samson fan because I just love the way he represents bodybuilding, but after that Olympia everything took a higher level and getting up in the middle of the night both friday prejudging and saturday finals (from Switzerland) was really fucking worth it. Thank you Samson and thank you Fouad for the best podcasts out there!
Be proud Fouad! You've been through some internet piss over the years but here you are! Samson.....HUGE smile on my face my man! Martin....WOW! This sport needs this content for sure!
I’ve been in prep since May. I’m onto my fifth show in 8 weeks with another five to go over three weeks. If you keep healthy and love what you do, why would you put a limit on that? And I’m 46 years, been competing since 2008 and loving it more now more than EVER, whilst getting better & better results with a physique that its still being judge as improving season to season. Why would you want to limit yourself on what you enjoy doing in life, if you can keep doing it in a way that allows longevity and the enjoyment to continue.
I know you love it when I agree with you Hoss and the most true thing I've ever heard you say was on this podcast. If you're not a foodie competing is so easy. I had a friend who had a small esophagus and he could literally drag one meal to the next, while I eat my meal in 2 seconds and I'm waiting for the next one😂
This show here is the epitome of how these new amazing technologies that we now possess, must b used. Ultimate reporting. The level of sophistication of ur shows guys is remarkable. U have put bodybuilding exactly where it needs to b for ignorance to finally begin to grasp how clueless it was & worse, how far from wisdom it will always b...unmatchable reporting! Wow! Speechless...
Massive congratulations 🎉 Samson very well deserved, and good job Mel looking after your diet and cardio, but not lets forget Michael Warner needs a massive round of applause 👏 for looking after the PED side of it, even if you did drop him after France 😎
The Arnold will never eclipse the Olympia. Its and invitational and they don't have all of the divisions, let alone the history. You needed the Olympia to even have an Arnold Classic in existence.
Hey Fouad. You deserved that. You started everything with the podcast and Hosstile. You grow with honesty and autencity. You supported Samson at his toughest times. Do not underestimate yourself man, some people were not loyal to you but you never talk bad stuff about themselves. I hope everything will go super good for you and Martin too. This ismi your year man. Enjoy and be super careful about your health 🙏🙏
I think it was said before maybe by Hani that Hadi looks at other competitor during placings being called out because of the language barrier of understanding what Bob is saying.
It’s a shame the live stream for the Olympia was so poor. It’s actually a really easy fix to sort out. All they need is to hire a local news station, live sports channel or even the UFC with it being in vegas. They will have all the know how for a live production and stream as it’s there day in day out job. I’ve seen bands in the UK use Sky Sports (one of the biggest sports channels in the UK) to record gigs at small venues and they look fantastic. I know it’s not exactly the same thing. Great podcast. Loving the amount of content you are releasing at the moment. Hopefully you can get Martin on next week 👍🏻
