Sam Sulek, a fitness influencer and YouTuber, has garnered attention and has even faced criticism for his health choices. His recent achievement includes securing a spot in the lineup at the Arnold Classic, where he was featured on posters alongside legends like eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Chris Bumstead, and the World’s Strongest Man, Hafthor Bjornsson. While some fitness enthusiasts may criticize him, he has also received positive feedback, notably from the Quad Stomper Jay Cutler.

Cutler’s recent revelation about the 21-year-old fitness influencer has stirred quite a buzz among fans. In a candid moment on Faud Abiad’s podcast, Cutler admitted to forgoing a booth at the Arnold Classic Expo, opting instead for more intimate meet-and-greets with legends like Ronnie Coleman and Chris Bumstead, along with rising star Sam Sulek.
