Sam Sulek has not competed in bodybuilding just yet but shared his plans moving forward.

Sam Sulek has become one of the biggest names in bodybuilding and has done so without stepping on stage to this point. Sulek has created an incredible following on social media. He lets fans into his training and diet regimens on a daily basis. Now, he shared his latest plans involving the sport of bodybuilding.

During a recent interview with Antic Fitness India at the Arnold Sports Festival UK, Sulek shared his plans to compete on the bodybuilding stage in Classic Physique within two years.

“The plan is going to be Classic. I’ve keep hearing words I’m trying to gain weight into the Open but you got to remember, a real Open bodybuilder, that’s a lot of mass.

There is no way imaginable in my vocabulary where I’m going to say ‘I’m too big, that’s just impossible.’ But probably within a year, a year and a half. We’ll just see.”

Sulek continued to explain his plans and thought process used when deciding between Classic and Men’s Open.

Sam Sulek’s Classic Physique Plan

Sam Sulek has displayed great size in different videos and physique updates on social media. He has trained with many bodybuilders early in his career and has been able to use this as a measuring stick.

“I think I’m kind of big but when I train with them, I’m like oh jeez, I’ve got some room to grow. I think the plan at first is going to be Classic but if I get big enough that I don’t fit the weight class, then just move up.”

During the interview, Sulek talked about his mindset in the gym and it was a very old-school approach.

“If you want to go to the gym and get the best results that you can, you would want to try to do every set absolutely perfectly and stimulate every fiber in the most scientifically-based way but just by thinking about it with such a complex thought process. You’re totally losing sight that you just need to get really hyped up to a Metallica song and just go crazy.”

Finally, Sam Sulek discussed some of his inspirations and those who he can resonate with in the gym. Sulek has become an extremely entertaining figure in bodybuilding and fans will be excited to see him take the stage.

“The people that I like the most that I can resonate with the most are the guys that I know if there were no cameras, no expos. They would still be trying to squat until their nose bled and throw around as much weight as possible and go hard. Guys like that, I sort of pick up from.”
