Athletes like WWE pro wrestler and former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and arguable basketball G.O.A.T. Michael Jordan are the elite of the elite. These veterans spent their entire careers reaching new heights of achievements. Getting compared with such legends at 21 definitely requires talent. However, with Sam Sulek, praise entails scrutiny.

Two weeks ago, physical therapist and conditioning coach Jeff Cavaliere made a video on Sam Sulek. Cavaliere, who runs Athlean-X on YouTube, is among the most respected fitness influencers in the industry. However, while he had high praise for 21-year-old bodybuilder Sam Sulek, he also raised serious concerns about the youth.

The fitness community believes Sam Sulek is not a natural

In his video, the fitness icon compared Sam Sulek’s genetics and potential with those of Brock Lesnar and Michael Jordan. Cavaliere said he believes Sulek’s physique is “one of one,” just like the legendary athletes. “You can copy everything he did and never be Brock Lesnar and there’s a few others like that, Michael Jordan, LeBron James,” said Cavaliere.

He believes that Sulek can achieve such legendary status if he continues bodybuilding. However, longevity is also Jeff Cavaliere’s deepest concern about Sam Sulek. The 48-year-old said he believes the 21-year-old achieved his physique “with heavy assistance of drugs.” In fact, a majority of people on the internet believe Sulek uses PEDs to enhance his body.

Hence, Cavaliere is worried that Sulek’s explosion in popularity, coupled with his willingness to use steroids would have a bad impression on other youth. The 48-year-old even gave an example of someone’s son he works with following Sulek on social media. “If he was my son… I would be terrified,” said Cavaliere about both Sulek and the young boys he inspires regularly. For the Athlean-X owner, what Sulek is doing puts him and others in danger. Jeff Cavaliere isn’t the only one who thinks so. In fact, another fitness influencer often disagrees with Sulek.

Greg Doucette has repeatedly warned Sam Sulek

While Jeff Cavaliere refused to comment on or dissect the former diver’s diet and exercise routine, Greg Doucette didn’t shy away. The former Canadian National Champion and powerlifter had pointed out Sulek’s flaws multiple times. The former enhanced bodybuilder has scrutinized the 21-year-old, from his exercise methodology to his diet.

In his videos, Greg Doucette also said he believes that the former diver is not natural. In fact, the Canadian bodybuilding icon believes Sulek is taking heavy doses of steroids. He also pointed out the visible side effects such drugs have on Sulek, like an acne outbreak all over his upper body. What did you think of Jeff Cavaliere’s opinion of Sam Sulek?
