Bodybuilder Sam Sulek‘s star power continues to rise. In posts shared to Instagram on June 12, 2025, Sulek attended the Season 2 premiere of FUBAR with Ronnie Coleman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Later, he joined ‘The Austrian Oak’ for a back workout.
Before ever hitting the stage, Sulek made a powerful impression on the bodybuilding community. He’s become a household name in the sport, and attention surrounding his potential has only grown. He won his amateur debut at the NPC Legends Classic in Classic Physique and qualified to compete at the Arnold Amateur.
Though some had doubts about his onstage abilities, Sulek proved he’s the real deal. He earned his IFBB Pro card against a tough lineup. Since then, he’s been mixing it up with top names in Classic Physique like Urs Kalecinski, and now training with Schwarzenegger is crossed off his bucket list.

After the FUBAR premiere on Wednesday, Sam Sulek linked up with former seven-time Olympia champion Arnold Schwarzenegger for a workout at Gold’s Gym in Venice, staying focused on building size during his offseason.
“Awesome last few days getting to see the legends of bodybuilding @schwarzenegger and @ronniecoleman8 in Golds gym Venice 💪” Sulek shared.
Schwarzenegger and Coleman together have 15 Mr. Olympia titles, allowing Sulek a rare opportunity to learn from the best. Although Sulek currently competes in the Classic Physique category, he’s long teased a potential transition into the Men’s Open class.
He’s been open about his immediate goals in the sport: first, he wants to enjoy an off-season for muscle growth before testing himself at his first Pro show. Sulek also opened a new private gym, which he intends to use to improve his physique, especially for building his arms and lower body.
Despite having just earned his IFBB Pro card, the callouts to face Sam Sulek are beginning to surface. Famous powerlifter Larry Wheels also picked up his Pro card after years of preparation. He recently teased a potential showdown with Sulek on the horizon, likely at the 2026 Arnold Classic competition.
Having worked out alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sulek is learning tried-and-true training methods from the best the sport has to offer. Fans look forward to hearing about his next show and whether he’ll fast-track plans to one day compete as a Men’s Open competitor.
