Last year, Nippard looked at social media\u2019s most popular bodybuilding influencer, Sam Sulek, to provide what he says is the most \u201canalytical, science-based critique of Sam Sulek\u2019s training on the internet\u201d. And, he says he\u2019s found Sam Sulek\u2019s training secrets, the one thing that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/sam-sulek-earned-his-ifbb-pro-card-at-the-2025-arnold-classic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newly crowned IFBB Pro<\/a> does better than anybody else. Here\u2019s the good news, you may be able to emulate this too.<\/p>\n<p>When Nippard isn\u2019t crushing his workouts, he is usually crunching the data. Don\u2019t believe it? Maybe this will help: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PjBdgLNxud0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The bro-science fact checker looked at 460 sets of Sulek\u2019s exercises<\/a> in order to analyze his workout structure in 2024. Apparently, those 460 sets were made up of 15% chest, 20% back, 16% biceps, 11% quads and 25% triceps. The first thing that Nippard was surprised to see was Sulek\u2019s heavy emphasis on triceps, because \u201canatomy research tells us that the triceps are less than 4% of total body muscle,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The quads, says Nippard, account for almost 30% total muscle-mass, however. Also of note was the fact that aside from his forearm work, 98% of Sulek\u2019s training is done to failure. Nippard says that this could cause a problem with recovery but says that if that\u2019s covered, training hard is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/nutrition\/gain-mass\/10-nutrition-rules-follow-if-you-want-build-muscle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best ways to ensure muscle growth<\/a>. Now an IFBB Pro, Sulek has surely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/sam-suleks-arm-workout-after-his-epic-2025-arnold-classic-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evolved his training<\/a> and recovery since last year, but there is plenty here for the aspiring bodybuilder to study.<\/p>\n<p>In the interests of balance, the coach noted that Sulek looked huge, and was still making great progress, but felt that he could make further improvements to his gameplan by \u201cstripping back\u201d some of the weight and concentrating on his range of motion. This advice is supported by science, he says, but Nippard also piled plenty of praise on the fast-rising bodybuilder. \u201cThere\u2019s one thing in particular, that I think Sam does better than any fitness influencer that I am aware of,\u201d said the buff scientist.<\/p>\n<h2>Jeff Nippard\u2019s Analysis Found Sam Sulek Excels in One Particular Area of Bodybuilding<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMost importantly, Sam clearly loves training,\u201d observed Nippard after studying his haul of flex footage. \u201cProbably more than any fitness influencer that I am aware of. He\u2019s super consistent, he does exercises that he enjoys, and he has a good time in the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nippard understands that mindset is the key to making progress and is not to be underestimated. \u201cObviously, hard workouts require discipline, and there will always be days when you don\u2019t feel like going to the gym,\u201d he said. \u201cBut finding ways to make your workouts more enjoyable is always a good thing, and Sam clearly has that mastered. And he gets an A++ for sustainability and enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This should serve as inspiration for us all. The key to consistency is finding a way to enjoy the process. While Sulek often braves the elements and drives to his early morning workouts, he is not averse to switching up his routine if he isn\u2019t feeling a particular exercise, on a particular day. This flexibility allows him to have a little more fun and has no doubt served him well on his meteoric journey to going pro.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the critical coach detailed a number of other things that he felt Sulek did well, some that he did badly, and other traits that he thought were probably a waste of time.
