Derek from More Plates More Dates reflects on Sam Sulek: "Whatever he's doing, it's working"

Bodybuilding influencer Sam Sulek has taken the internet by storm with his fit physique and cool content. In a recent YouTube video, More Plates More Dates, Derek discussed Sulek's popularity, physique and future.

It's been a life-changing few years for Sam Sulek, and he continues to offer consistent workout videos to his fans. His introverted nature and humorous personality have quickly made him a fitness star as he has racked up millions of followers on many social media sites such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

After going viral several times, Sulek has become a lightning rod for fans who believe he abuses performance-enhancing drugs. He's 21 years old and has a physique that could rival some athletes in the IFBB professional league. In addition, fans have taken issue with Sulek's diet, which is high in sugars and often consists of donuts, chocolate milk and cereal.

Derek from MPMD was impressed by Sam Sulek's throwback fitness content when he first met him, which he pointed out is "unedited and long". Evaluating his hype and popularity Derek said:

"Oh yeah, what I think of Sam Sulek... Reminds me of deja vu on OG fitness YouTube, I think.

Yeah. It's just kind of that uncut and long format, here's my day and come along for the ride."

While MPMD's Derek wasn't sure about Sulek's next move, he stressed that whatever the influencer is doing now seems to be working for him.

"Whoever is doing the memes, his fans have the best memes, did you see the one of him standing in front of the funeral? That's the funniest shit."

"Yeah, I don't know what he should do either. Yeah. Whatever he's doing, it's working," said Derek from MPMD.

Although Sulek isn't competing professionally yet, bodybuilders haven't wasted any opportunity to talk about his influence. Reigning five-time Classic Physique Olympia champion Chris Bumstead recently joined Urs Kalecki to evaluate Sulek. He suggested that Sulek could be the future of the sport, although some athletes are not yet convinced that he has that influence.

Men's Open star Nick Walker also took a closer look at the hype surrounding Sam Sulek. In addition to questioning Sulek's steroid protocol, Walker scrutinized his nutrition and the message he sends to a young audience.

If that weren't enough, Joe Rogan, podcast host and UFC color commentator, assessed Sulek's "crazy physique." Rogan was impressed with his muscle mass, though he did mention that he hears steroids in the influencer's voice.
