21-year-old bodybuilder Sam Sulek has conquered the world of online fitness. The former diver’s drastic four-year transformation has attracted a legion of even younger fans who aspire to attain his physique. However, bodybuilding veterans like IFBB Pro coach Greg Doucette have accused Sulek of using steroids. Now, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan has also discovered Sam Sulek.

Rogan is among the most popular pop culture personalities. The martial artist hosts the most popular podcast in the world, The Joe Rogan Experience. In the latest episode, his guest Cameron Hanes asked Rogan about the 21-year-old. While Rogan admitted hearing about Sam Sulek, the comedian didn’t expect Sulek’s transformation would shock him.

The incredible transformation of Sam Sulek

In episode #2068, master bow hunter Cameron Hanes and Joe Rogan discussed bodybuilding. That’s when Hanes told Rogan about the 21-year-old who has exploded in popularity among teenagers looking to get into fitness. So, Rogan pulled up some images of Sulek and witnessed his incredible transformation.

Rogan saw an image of Sulek’s back last-spread pose from 2019. “So he’s like 183 lbs in 2019,” said the UFC commentator. However, while looking at a current image of the 21-year-old, Rogan found the bodybuilding influencer now weighs 237 lbs. “That’s crazy!… that’s so much weight,” said the 56-year-old. The fact that Sulk had gained 54 lbs of almost pure muscle shocked Rogan.

“You can hear the steroids in his voice…” said Rogan after paying for one of Sulek’s YouTube videos. In the end, the 56-year-old also came to the same conclusion as Greg Doucette. “You don’t do that with oatmeal. No, you need some help,” said Rogan, hinting at Sulek using performance-enhancing drugs. While Rogan might’ve only hinted at Sulek not being a natural bodybuilder, many veterans are convinced that Sam Sulek uses PEDs.

The fitness community can’t stop speculating

Besides Greg Doucette, nearly all prominent fitness influencers and bodybuilders have also talked about Sam Sulek. While different people have different takes on the 21-year-old bodybuilding influencer, many agree on one thing. Nearly all veterans think Sam Sulek is potentially harming himself by taking PEDs at such a young age.

In fact, most influencers, like Athlean-X, believe Sulek is on high doses and hence has gained 54 lbs, and almost none of it looks like fat. These fitness influencers are further worried that the young bodybuilder’s even younger fans might follow in his footsteps and resort to unnatural ways of gaining muscle.

Most experienced bodybuilders and even Joe Rogan are skeptical about Sulek’s methods of gaining muscle. However, only time will tell the effects as Sulek’s popularity continues to rise.
