Samson Dauda Olympia Prep – Arm Day with Andrea Presti & Quinton (7.5 Weeks Out)

Samson Dauda just dropped another entry in his Olympia 2025 prep series, this time taking us inside a hardcore arm session with Andrea “The Italian Blade” Presti and Quinton. With Samson sitting just 7.5 weeks out from the Olympia and Presti only 2.5 weeks from the Italy Pro, the intensity is exactly what you’d expect—full throttle.

The video kicks off in “the cave,” where the gym has just been upgraded with custom plates and 70kg dumbbells—everything needed for serious bodybuilding work. Samson highlights the improvements Presti has made recently, noting how shocked he was by his progress in such a short time.

From there, it’s straight into biceps and triceps punishment. The crew runs through heavy curls, presses, and isolation movements with a focus on detail, squeeze, and muscle heads that often get neglected. Samson stresses proper positioning to really hit weak points, while Presti and Quinton push through brutal sets with spotters forcing out extra reps. The energy is raw—lots of shouting, encouragement, and genuine camaraderie.

Beyond the lifting, there’s a strong sense of team atmosphere. Andrea and his team have been training with Samson all week, bringing “real hardcore bodybuilding” vibes into the sessions. Samson makes it clear that this has been more than just workouts—it’s been motivation and a reminder of why he loves bodybuilding.

The day winds down with recovery in the sauna and hot tub, something Samson says he does four days a week on the toughest training days. It’s his way of managing prep stress and keeping the body primed for battle.

This was more than an arm day—it was a glimpse at three top pros grinding together, pushing limits, and keeping the fire alive as Olympia season closes in.
