Sam Sulek’s Back Workout Ahead of 2025 Arnold Classic Debut
Social media star Sam Sulek made the successful leap into competitive classic bodybuilding in February, winning his debut appearance. Now, he has his sights set on earning a pro card at the 2025 Arnold Amateur. Here’s Sulek’s short but sweet back workout just days out from the event.
Sulek was up early for this workout, filmed just 4 days before he is due to take to the stage in his second and most important competition to date. “Time for an early lift and cardio session,” he told his four-million-plus YouTube subscribers. The bodybuilder explained that this close to the Arnold, he’s running low on carbs and is therefore not looking for an intense workout like one would expect during the bulking phase. The big man still likes to get two sessions in per day, however, splitting them into lifting and cardio workouts. The purpose of this particular back workout is for the social media star to gain a pump and some “back stimulation,” he explained. “But nothing too wild, and I definitely do not want to freakin’ tweak anything.”

Workout Breakdown
Sulek says that single-arm pullovers hit him deep in the lats. “For me, at least, when I do one (arm) instead of both, I can actually feel it, totally tense, all the way down to here,” he explained, pointing to the lowest point of his latissimus dorsi on the side of his lower back. He still chose to go heavy, working towards failure without risking injury by not throwing in too many different sets or additional moves.
