Sam Sulek Talks Back Gains, Car Fit Struggles, and Why Sleep & Water Matter More Than You Think
In Offseason Day 107 - Back, Sam Sulek dives deep—literally and figuratively—into a lat-focused back session, then delivers a signature car chat loaded with bodybuilding insights and real-life relatability.
He opens with a PSA: despite what TikTok AI might say, Sam Sulek is alive and still lifting. Then, he offers a unique gem of wisdom—don’t just focus on your first impression, think about your last. A thick, wide back ensures you leave a presence when walking away, not just when walking in.
From there, Sam transitions to training talk. Today’s goal? Maximum lat width. The workout leaned heavily on double-arm movements like pulldowns, rows, and pullovers—aimed at hitting the upper lat region under the armpits. He skips single-arm work to keep things efficient and reduce the risk of aggravating a slightly tender left lat.
Sam also reflects on how years of gymnastics gave him a head start on back development, and how a solid back improves your squat, bench, and overall symmetry. But with size comes sacrifice—he vents about struggling to fit into sport car seats, custom suits, and even regular shirts.
In classic Sam style, the post-lift car monologue turns into a hydration and recovery masterclass. He breaks down:
Solid message, solid pump, and classic Sam—go watch it.

- Why water + electrolytes = better pumps
- How sleep and prep impact your workouts more than you realize
- Why late-night gaming (shoutout to Verdansk Warzone) can kill gains
- And how lifting is personal—nobody will miss your missed workout but you
Solid message, solid pump, and classic Sam—go watch it.
