“It might seem like an overnight kind of whatever, not exactly. This has been awhile in the making.”
Sulek is not currently preparing for a competition but continues to build the best version of his physique. 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.
Sulek created his private gym to go along with his future goals on stage. This includes prioritizing tension and hypertrophy.
Sam Sulek Shows Off New Private Gym
Sam Sulek admitted that World’s Gym Cincinnati played a major role in how he wanted to create his own gym. It began by showing off the equipment used to build up his back. He uses row machines that focus on getting a good stretch at different angles.
“I’m getting a good lat stretch but as I finish the rep, I’m pulling up in more of a shrug.”
Sulek continued on to show off a custom-made 300-pound weight stack and dumbbell rack with weights ranging from five to 150 pounds.
“I considered going up to 200-pound dumbbells but they won’t get used, maybe ever.”
Moving onto chest and delts, Sam Sulek keeps incline presses at the core of his training plan. This includes a flye machine that leads to stronger contractions.
“As you press up, these handles get closer together like you’re holding two plates together.”
Sam Sulek is currently in the midst of a bulk where he began at 251 pounds. He shared his starting weight while on the way to the gym to train arms in March. Like any bulk, Sulek is interested in adding size everywhere. Sulek shared that he is in the “honeymoon” phase of his bulk. This means that he is looking forward to eating more after dieting. He admitted that this will get old soon enough and he will then want to diet down. It is a continuous cycle but for now, Sulek has focused on getting in as much food as possible. He will also have a new gym to work out in and prepare for his pro debut.
