Sam Sulek continues to gain traction in the bodybuilding community with an incredible physique at such a young age. Despite being 21 years old, his growing popularity often encourages prominent bodybuilding personalities to react, as they are often asked to comment on the up-and-coming bodybuilder.
From Bodybuilding coach, Greg Doucette to 5x Mr. Olympia, Chris Bumstead, many champions have had their opinions about Sulek made public. But now, CBum has basically gone on to call him the future.

In a short video uploaded by the AgeFitness YouTube channel, Bumstead can be seen talking about Sam Sulek and his impressive accomplishments. But the Classic Physique winner has now said that when he does retire, Sulek could take over the industry. He said, “I like this guy. I’m gonna retire and just. He can take the reins over.”
While Bumstead’s words do mean a lot to Sulek or anybody for that matter and Sulek does seem to be on the path to greatness, it is still unclear as to what his ambitions are right now. Does he want to compete in the Mr. Olympia and be the ultimate champion of champions or is he happy being a very popular fitness influencer? While Bumstead’s endorsement does go a long way in making a career out of bodybuilding, the final decision lies with the 21-year-old.
Apart from Cbum, 8x Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman has also spoken about Sulek and just how impressive his jacked physique is. However, when he was asked if Sulek seemed natty, Coleman was quick on the draw.

In a Q&A session with fans, Mr. Olympia Coleman was asked whether Sulek was natural. Coleman simply replied, “There ain’t nothing natural about him except for that hat he’s got on”. But of course, he was also complimentary of Sulek’s jacked physique and said that he could go on to have a great career in professional bodybuilding. However, there was still something in him that Coleman wanted to correct.
The bodybuilding veteran revealed that he wanted to correct Sulek’s lifting approach in exercises. In the same breath, he also invited the 21-year-old bodybuilder to train with him.
