Sam Sulek teams up with Arnold Schwarzenegger for fitness collaboration

Gym enthusiasts and netizens were thrilled when 23-year-old bodybuilding influencer Sam Sulek teamed up with the 77-year-old legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a workout session. The duo visited Gold’s Gym in Venice, Los Angeles, while Sam Sulek was in the city for the FUBAR Season 2 premiere. They did a back workout session, during which Arnold gave Sulek a free training masterclass.

In addition to getting free training tips from a bodybuilding legend, Sulek also happened to run into Ronnie Coleman just as they were leaving the gym. Sam described the moment on his YouTube channel as “absolutely surreal,” saying he was “incredibly grateful we were able to line this up,” and promising, “I’ll be back.”

A highlight of their workout was Arnold sharing his training philosophy with Sam. According to Arnold,

“Well, there is no sweet spot. Everyone trains differently, and everyone's body requires different methods.”

“And then over time its going to change too,” Sam chipped in.

Arnold continued to explain that people can use different training methods to achieve the same results, emphasising that there is no single best way to work out.

“Yeah, but I mean it's… the body; it doesn't matter as long as you go all out and give in this much kind of resistance. The resistance can come from the reps or from the weight. It doesn't matter.”

He gives an example,

“I mean, I knew a surgeon back in my days who was doing 20 sets of 20 ribs bench press. That's already it for the chest. And it was an extraordinary chest. And then Sergio Liver would do five sets bench press, five sets flyers, five sets injury, five sets… and he had an extraordinary chest. Who is right, and who is wrong? It's all bogus. You got to figure out how to fill yourself with space.”

Arnold instructs Sam on proper arm placement to achieve a full stretch. They also discuss the importance of having a mirror in the gym, explaining that a mirror allows individuals to observe their movements while working out, enabling them to make quick corrections when necessary.

Sam Sulek recently posted a carousel of images on his official Instagram, showcasing pictures of himself and Arnold Schwarzenegger using various workout machines. The second slide stood out to fans. It featured Sulek posing with Arnold and Ronnie Coleman on the red carpet at the premiere of FUBAR Season 2. This event took place at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Los Angeles on June 11. He captioned the post:

“Awesome last few days getting to see the legends of bodybuilding @schwarzeneggar and @ronniecoleman8 in Gold Gym Venice.”
