“Don’t get into an argument in an Instagram comment section”: Sam Sulek after his debate with a fan over best tricep exercise

Amid all the love and appreciation that Sam Sulek receives from fans, there is a section that is critical of his approach to lifting and dieting. At any given point, there are numerous comments on Sulek's social media, suggesting that he isn’t lifting ideally. Sulek recently opened up in one of his YouTube videos and described how he got into an argument with a fan over a tricep exercise.

He advised everyone to not engage in unnecessary debates with strangers on social media, saying:

"Don't get caught too much in, I mean, I'm not really sure how often this happens but dont get in a massive f*cking argument, definitely don't get into an argument in like an Instagram comment section, unless you see something really stupid." (01:23)

While Sam Sulek chooses to ignore most of these comments, there are instances where he gets annoyed and can't stop himself from replying. During his ride to the gym recently, Sulek said there’s no ‘one size fits all’ philosophy when it comes to weight training.

"I train hard-train hard, train reasonably smart and I can't stress enough all sorts of little minute improvements to your training will just begin to f**king kind of accumulate as you just get more experienced and smarter," he added.

Having a good diet and getting good sleep is mandatory, but training is something that depends on a ton of other factors.

Sam Sulek's advice to listen to your body

Everyone is gifted with different types of muscle bellies, limb length, and joint health. Many more factors are responsible for getting a good workout in. Sam Sulek suggested that for this very reason, if you prefer a certain exercise over another, it’s alright to listen to your body and keep doing that, given that it’s working for you and you are training hard.

He said:

"I'll see videos of someone critiquing someone else's squat form, and this can be a little bit different... Let's say if somebody's kind of been lifting for a while, they obviously know what feels good for their own body, and the guy is like, 'No no, you got to squat with your heel and shoulders apart.' You know... it's like...how do you know? Did you do a f**king full in-body cat scan and you can actually look into the biomechanics of this guy? " (04:21)

Sulek added that various factors such as height, limb length, or type of muscle fibers present can also influence the range of motion or the strength of a lifter. This is why, there is no perfect way to perform a movement. However, it is the responsibility of the lifter to ensure that they are not fooling around and are training hard.

Sam Sulek preaches investing time and knowledge in yourself, working on your physique, and making gains.
