Well that didn’t take long. I can now officially say that I’m no longer impressed with Sam Sulek. For many months and even years he has been on top. It’s crazy how time flies. In just a matter of a few weeks this guy exploded on the social media scene. He had a good physique, he loved to train, and he was polarly opposed to competing. He didn’t understand the purpose behind the painstaking aggravation of caloric manipulation, endless hours of cardio, and posing in front of a mirror only to perfect it for a panel of judges who he didn’t know from a hole in the wall. His whole mindset was very appealing to me as someone who has been covering bodybuilding and fitness for nearly 20 years. I had never seen anything like it before.
Pretty much everybody in the fitness section of social media has done a show or two. At least people that have the physique that would be worthy to do a show. I’m just a fat guy. I have been lean at times but never anything that I could take on stage. So for me it’s always been about writing and doing interviews and that sort of thing. I have never even contemplated the idea of getting on stage. But for someone like Sam Sulek, it seemed almost like a mind **** that he wouldn’t do a show. I mean why look that good without any intention of ever even trying to get a pro card. But I have to say that that is part of the reason why I started watching him and why I couldn’t stop. He was an anomaly of sorts. I had never seen someone like this in the sport of bodybuilding and especially not someone with a lion’s share of the following that he amassed. He didn’t buy advertising, he didn’t collaborate with big names – he was just a gymrat who loved to train and loved to eat. And now he’s officially becoming a competitor.
