Sam Sulek Expresses Interest In Recreating Lee Priest Iconic Side Triceps Photo
Sam Sulek has gained a reputation as an off-the-wall fitness enthusiast. While the 21-year-old may have a ‘trash diet’ consisting of Krispie Kreme donuts and gallons of chocolate milk, his impressive and massive physique speaks for the dedication he has in the gym.
Sam Sulek has previously teamed up with Samson Dauda to knock out an intense chest workout. Now, it seems that Sulek is looking to work with Lee Priest in an attempt to recreate his legendary photo with Tom Platz. Sulek shared a video explaining that he needed to add on just a little more mass to his arms and then all he would be missing was Platz.
“If I add an extra five pound of forearm mass and an extra five pounds of tricep mass then we will be getting close to recreated this Lee Priest picture” Sam Sulek said.
“Now all I need is Tom Platz standing behind me.”
In response to Sulek’s post, Lee Priest reposted on his Instagram page to express his interest and even went as far as saying that he would stand in for Platz.
“We can do it with me in the background lol” Lee Priest wrote.
Lee Priest seems to have taken a liking to Sam Sulek by often showing his support. Previously, Priest defended Sulek’s less-than-ideal eating habits, comparing them to the choices he made when he was younger. Additionally, Lee Priest has acknowledged that many people in the sport are simply trying to chase Sulek’s clout.
Despite facing controversy and challenges, such as being banned from the IFBB due to contractual disputes, Priest remains a respected figure in the bodybuilding community. His dedication and outspoken personality have contributed to his lasting impression in the sport. Now, Instagram is about to witness a legendary re-do, when the two finally meet for a collaboration!
