Sam Sulek admits that his goals have changed and how it will impact the future.

Bodybuilder Sam Sulek has seen his career get off to a quick start after earning his IFBB pro card by winning the 2025 Arnold Amateur Classic Physique contest. So, the question remains, what’s next?

During a recent appearance with Chris Williamson, Sulek was able to discuss his goals for the Olympia along with his future plans for his own physique in the Classic Physique division.

“That’s one thing I’ll bring up because guys will ask me, ‘are you going to move to Open?’ or it’s ‘can’t wait to see as Mr. Olympia’ as though that’s the track that I’m on.”

Sulek earned his Pro Card at the 2025 Arnold Amateur in the Classic Physique division. Sulek earned qualification to this show following a victory at the 2025 Legends Classic in Las Vegas just weeks before. This was Sulek’s bodybuilding debut competition after he built a reputation as one of the most popular fitness stars in the world.

Sam Sulek Talks Olympia Goals & Move to Open

Sam Sulek is officially a professional but that does not mean that he is preparing for a specific competition. As of now, he is not planning to compete at the Olympia or move out of the Classic division.

“It’s more so what am I willing to do that adds to this whole thing with bodybuilding that will take me a certain degree of distance? Because if you’re. a top-level Olympia competitor, that comes with its own things.”

A post shared by Sam Sulek (@sam_sulek)

Sulek, at just 23 years old, has plenty of time to achieve his goals in the sport of bodybuilding. But he believes that this is something that cannot be done forever.

“Actually, the bigger I’ve gotten, the more I’ve started to be content with the size I already am.”

Sulek began his bodybuilding journey as a big-name fitness star on social media gaining plenty of attention because of his size. That used to be the goal. Now, he admits that he has been happy with his progress and where he is size wise.

“I used to imagine 300-pound Sam Sulek. I was like’ yeah once I get to 300′ but it’s something where you actually get to a different position just over time and through progress, you’re going to have a different perception of what you actually want.”
