Sam Sulek<\/a> is just two days away from the 2026 Arnold Classic UK, taking place from March 27-29 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. On March 25, he expressed doubt about switching to the Men\u2019s Open and emphasized that his end goal is a mid-200-pound physique.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n After years of speculation, Sulek finally jumped into the competitive bodybuilding circuit. He won the NPC Legends Classic<\/a>, allowing him a shot at the Arnold Amateur event. In Columbus, he proved he wasn\u2019t all hype; Sulek secured gold and was automatically invited to the 2026 Arnold Classic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Against a stacked lineup, Sulek secured eighth place. He had the opportunity to see how he compared against top-tier talent, including reigning two-time AC champ Wesley Vissers<\/a>, Matheus Menegate, and Andrea Mammoli. While a switch to the Open<\/a> has been on Sulek\u2019s radar, it looks like he\u2019s having second thoughts now.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the Q&A video, Sulek said he\u2019d never move to the Men\u2019s Open unless he couldn\u2019t make weight for Classic Physique, which he noted was unlikely.\u00a0<\/p>\nSam Sulek Reveals \u2018End Game\u2019 Goal is Mid-200-Lb Physique, Says Move to Men\u2019s Open \u2018Not the Plan\u2019 \u00a0<\/h2>\n
