The young internet sensation Sam Sulek is on his way to making his name in the fitness industry. He grabbed a lot of attention after going viral on TikTok and Instagram for his unhealthy eating habits and authentic personality. The younger generation finds the 21-year-old relatable to them and follows his workout regime. 

Recently, the fitness influencer was seen working out with former open-division Arnold Classic Champion Samson Dauda. In a video uploaded on the YouTube channel HOSSTILE, both figures had a chest session together in the gym. Dauda unveiled his bodybuilding secret to the young enthusiast.

Train like a bodybuilder rather than a powerlifter

In the video, the young fitness influencer shared that he doesn’t feel any urge to lift heavy weights like 200 pounds or more. Sulek thinks that mechanical tension is a factor and questioned the former Arnold Classic Champion,” Where do you think the limit is on necessary weight?” To which Dauda replied,” I say people in the body have no idea what way you’re lifting; they only know the resistance you’re putting through it.” The Nigerian Lion added that people lose their primary goal while lifting heavy. He shared that the primary goal is to build muscle and said,”  The muscle doesn’t care about the weight; it is about more tension you put it through it.”

The Nigerian Lion further explained the science behind the growth of muscles: ” When you contract it as tight as you can without resistance and release it, and contract it again, that pushes blood flow and that breaks down muscle fibers in it, and it causes growth.” Dauda emphasized that you should work with more tension on your muscles rather than increasing the weight. He then shared the optimal approach for bodybuilding.

The former Arnold Classic Champion said to the young fitness influencer,” Remember it’s one thing to power lift; it’s another thing to bodybuild.” He continued,” If you’re trying, your idea is I want to build muscle; you got to put everything towards that alone.” The Nigerian Lion emphasized that if you want to build muscle, you need to focus on the contractions. While making sure that your every movement is right and giving proper attention to only that muscle you’re working on. 

The Nigerian Lion is not the only one who advised Sulek. The eight-time Mr. Olympia also gave a piece of advice to the young bodybuilding enthusiast. 

The King’s advice to Sulek

In a video on Ronnie Coleman’s official YouTube channel, Big Ron was reviewing a viral bodybuilder’s workout protocol and then came across the young bodybuilding enthusiast’s clip. The King said,” I’ve been hearing a lot about this kid, Sam Sulek.” Coleman seemed convinced by Sulek’s workout and said,” Working on triceps, looking good, Sam.“

However, the King of Bodybuilding wants the young gym rat to work on his form. “Got to hit the weights hard and heavy, you got some weight on that bad boy. Might need to work on the form just a little bit though, you hitting it though,” explained Coleman.

Despite his young age, Sulek is on the right path. He just needs to work on a few body-building techniques. What are your views on this? Do you have any suggestions for the young bodybuilding enthusiast? Let us know in the comments.
