Dauda fans left excited
All the followers were astonished at the bodybuilder’s genetics and his power. A fan decided to address IFBB pro Milos Sarcev and write, “@milossarcev this is why it’s so hard to determine genetics for bodybuilding in the very beginning. If he asks do I have the genetics to be Mr. Olympia, most anybody would’ve told him no. Then fast forward a few years in and it’s very obvious the genetics are there!” Another fan reprimanded people who thought bodybuilding was all about genetics and said, “Lazy people will say it’s all genetics🌝.”
One fan pointed out that Samson Dauda transformed himself without PEDs and wrote, “It’s even more impressive when you realize he did this 100% natural,” while another follower was astonished and wrote, “Nah that’s crazy🤯💯🔥🔥.”
