On the Dennis James podcast Milos mentioned Samson incorporated Tren for the first time during this Arnold prep. That probably affected his look more than any diet or training changes.

[@SouthernSilverExchange]

Yep. Now imagine once they dial in dosages and have more time to try other compounds. If hes never ran tren then i guarantee hes never ran pharma grade Primo

Life has a funny way of playing itself out. Nick leaves his contract with Hostille, Samson than becomes the face of Hostille. They finally meet in a show lined up head to head & he loses to the the guy who took his spot he left from. The cards play themselves sometimes. Nick is still great, just spotting the irony.
