Samson Dauda took bodybuilding's biggest prize in 2024, beating Hadi Choopan and the defending champion Derek Lunsford to become Mr. Olympia. The British athlete of Nigerian origin, nicknamed the Nigerian Lion, had served notice a year earlier by edging Nick Walker in a famously close decision at the 2023 Arnold Classic, the first major win of his pro career. In 2025 he came back to defend the Sandow trophy and finished fourth as Lunsford took it back.
Even among Open bodybuilders his numbers are extreme. Carrying 137 kg on a 180 cm frame is rare enough; doing it at about 7% body fat, as in this scan, means almost all of that weight is muscle. A fit, active man of the same height might weigh around 80 kg. Dauda's calling card has always been that rare pairing of sheer size and proportion, the balance Olympia judges reward.

A visual estimation of the areas of your body with a higher likelihood of containing more fat than others -- not a measurement. This feature is experimental; treat the heatmap as an indication, not a clinical finding. Accuracy is best at the extremes of body-fat percentage, weaker in the middle, and atypical body shapes (athletic builds, pregnancy, etc.) may not be modelled well.
| Metric | Value vs reference | Reference | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lateral lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +0.3° | 0° = vertical (frontal knees-to-head axis) | natural — upright |
| Head forward offset?Accurate to about ±1-2 cm in a single scan -- camera tilt and head rotation (looking up / down / sideways) are the main confounders. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, look straight ahead and keep the camera level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0 = ear in line with the spine axis (no forward head) | — |
| Forward/back lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0° = vertical (side knees-to-head axis) | — |
| Shoulder tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | -1.1° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |
| Hip tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | -1.8° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |
