More than 3.5 million subscribers of Sam Sulek's YouTube channel know he has been on a bulking journey for quite a few weeks now. He gets millions of views on his vlogs for being authentic about his life.
On Sunday, August 18, day 61 of bulking, Sulek expressed his thoughts on what he thinks is the right time to have a pre-workout meal. People eat protein-rich food as their pre and post-workout meals to aid their bodybuilding, and Sulek isn't any different. But his preferred timing and size of the meal seem to differ, as he said on his YouTube channel:
"I'm not going to eat a crazy meal within about an hour of training. I mean it just kind of sucks. like it can be done, but when it comes to the pre-workout meal timing, I might even say probably about two hours is the sweet spot."
Sulek started with how rest is as important as a big meal is, as both help the activated muscle cells grow, adding:
"There's a certain rejuvenation, there's a certain welling up of energy that you get when you're bulking and you have a massive meal, take an hour nap afterwards, maybe 30 minutes or so."
Quantity is as important as quality when it comes to eating for bulking, with Sulek describing what the right quantity is.
"If its like actually a lot of food you know, if you eat just a little, it might not mess with you so much, but after a massive meal, I really feel like I've had a full stomach," he stated.
"Don't take lifting advice from a TikTok comment section" - Sam Sulek
Sulek receives countless comments within minutes of posting a video on his YouTube channel. While most people say how he has helped relieve their mental conditions, some comments are also about what exercises he should do and what form is incorrect.
In Sulek's latest vlog, he seemed to have indirectly reacted to such nasty comments, saying:
"Everybody loves to be able to tell somebody that they're wrong. That's like a massive dopamine boost, and the fact that you can do it anonymously on your phone?? I mean lets just say criticism is running high."
Sulek added that barely 10 percent of the people making such criticizing comments have never worked out at all.
"Let's just say: don't take your lifting advice from a TikTok comment section," suggested Sulek before proceeding with his chest workout for the day.
