Sam Sulek claims classic gold physique in his NPC debut and is eligible for Arnold Amateur in 2025
He shared concerns about weight building, but Sulek revealed in a recent YouTube video that his first contest went according to the plan.
“I actually do some practice by sizing, but it’s okay to take that to the level first, I’m big enough. I’m actually a bit worried. I think I called it right there because it wanted it to be the heavyest place I could for the classics, so I thought I’d called it right there.”
He said, “The grind still doesn’t stop.” He was also exposed to his carb process through his debut.
“Two weeks from now, I’ve qualified for Arnold, so that’s the plan. Check out the fares at Arnold Amateur. The grind hasn’t stopped yet. I’ll do some rebaiting tonight.
Even yesterday, I meant 900 grams of carbohydrates so far and really had to fill in it. However, I went back to the red for the next two weeks, wasting my touch and got a touch dryer. ”
He plans to continue improving, aiming to be as dry and lean as possible for Arnold Amateur.
“Hopefully, I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing, but I hope this is my worst stage look just because it’s just going to improve on it from here.” Share.
“For me at competitions, you have to look at it objectively. There are a million cbums bigger than me, so I’m really fine.
Shortly after the victory, Slek shared his feelings about the performance:
“It’s a huge weight taken from my shoulder. Honestly, I wasn’t too nervous or anything else. I put the best things or anything to myself, not to be confident. I was going to do that, but like the presence of the stage, it’s a bit tricky.”
“I’m a bit spoiled. At the end of Arnold, you have to get up in front of the crowd and do those little interview panels, so it was actually a bit of practice in terms of the public appearance of things. Frankly, if I hadn’t had that experience, it would have made me a little more nervous if I had just walked there in front of a massive, half-naked crowd.” I explained it Thread.
Certainly in Arnold Amateur, his competition becomes stiffer, so Srek has not lost focus ahead of the opportunity. Following his debut victory, Sulek appears to have a promising future in the sport. Don’t miss his next performance at Arnold Amateur.
“I’m comfortable with the right thing about the classics I’m in.”
