Sam Sulek is an up-and-coming name in bodybuilding that has gained plenty of attention on social media. His potential is being recognized by many and this now includes Chris Bumstead. The five-time Classic Physique champion recently spoke about Sulek’s potential moving forward with Urs Kalecinski.
As a young bodybuilder, Sam Sulek has a massive following on social media. He initially wanted to be a professional diver but rose to fame on TikTok by sharing his bodybuilding experience.
