Exercise Scientist Teams Up With Sam Sulek, Hunter Labrada, and Others; Fans Declare It the “Best Collab”

This month, the biggest collab of the modern bodybuilding era happened at Dr. Mike Israetel aka the Exercise Scientist’s gym. Stars from the bodybuilding world—American bodybuilder Hunter Labrada, former Arnold Classic Champion Samson Dauda, and the 22-year-old bodybuilding enthusiast Sam Sulek—went to train with the bodybuilding critic and his partner, IFBB Pro Jared Feather. 

Earlier last week, the Exercise Scientist gave a glimpse of this collab on his Instagram, and his fans demanded a video. So this time he shared a video of the greatest collab of the year 2024 till now. The former professor shared the video on his YouTube channel, Renaissance Periodization, yesterday. Let’s find out how the video unfolded with their workout and posing routine. After watching the video, fans expressed their views in the comments.

Bodybuilding stars had an insane leg-day workout with Dr. Mike Israetel

Dr. Mike Israetel is known for his gruesome and soul-crushing leg workouts. Earlier, he trained Nick Walker, the former Arnold Classic champion. This time, he did the same with Labrada and the youth fitness icon Sam Sulek. The video started with the American bodybuilder, and Jared Feather doing hack squats, and the former professor controlling his squats. They pushed him to the brink of failure.

Then the iconic duo had an incline chest press set with the Nigerian Lion and did some posing with him. The former Arnold Classic champion gave valuable tips to Dr. Mike Israetel on posing and helped him correct his pose. Then the video focused on the rising internet sensation, and the American bodybuilder Sam Sulek. During their workout, the American bodybuilder transitioned to hack squats. They focused on proper form as he completed a heavy set. But then, something unexpected happened…

The Exercise Scientist who only passed his verdict on others’, posed down with the young bodybuilding enthusiast and his gym partner, Feather. They started by flexing their widespread lats, and Israetel hilariously pushed Sulek. Then they did a front double bicep and a front lat spread. The side chest pose they did showcased their buffed-up physique; this continued for a few more poses. This unexpected collaboration left fans stunned, sending them into a frenzy in the comments section.

A fan labeled the video “Exquisite“

One fan commented on the behemoth size of Dauda and wrote, “I always forget how huge Samson is. Dude is a friggin tank…” Another was excited to see Sam Sulek featured on another channel: “This is genuinely the best collab in all fitness history, idk why I get so excited whenever sam does videos outside his own channel.” A fan highlighted the energy and vibe of Dr. Mike Israetel’s gym and wrote, “Mike’s Gym Sounds like a Cave full of Monsters. The energy must be intense.”

An admirer praised the hack squat exercise and commented, “The labrada set on the hack squat was a masterclass.” A bodybuilding enthusiast was impressed by the video and called the video exquisite writing: “This video was an absolute treat. Seeing all these BB stars with some of Dr Mike’s humor and Jared’s knowledge sprinkled in—exquisite.” Another fan was also excited to watch the video and commented, “This is peak youtube thing! Waited for this since forever!“
