“Anton has been everywhere since he won his Pro card. Like he was on some, he was catching a lot of shit on mainstream stuff but Sam is everywhere.”
“Whenever you see who is the better bodybuilder, obviously Anton is the better competitive bodybuilder because Sam has never competed. You can’t not be a Sam Sulek fan because he seems like a great kid.”

Seth Feroce delved into Sam Sulek’s self-described ‘trash diet’ and provided insights into his training habits.
“However, if we’re talking about flaws of Sam Sulek, we’re going to talk about what bodybuilding actually is because this is where people get it twisted you’ve all seen the videos of people ripping the young man apart for lifting like an idiot, his shitty diet, how his macros and the way he does things is improper.
Him being on a ton of shit and not telling anybody what he’s on. The kid is 21 years old. I’ll start there, but at the end of the day, this is bodybuilding.”
“All those things about Sam being like oh his diet is horrible, he’s taking so much gear, he trains like a moron, who gives a fuck? This is bodybuilding. It’s bodybuilding. So whenever you’re on stage, nobody knows how much you fucking bench pressed.”
Additionally, Seth Feroce highlighted Sam Sulek’s physique flaws, emphasizing an imbalance between his upper and lower body. Notably, he mentioned that Sulek’s legs are ‘not quite there’ yet.
“His flaws from a bodybuilding standpoint, just looking at his physique, his lower body doesn’t match his upper body, his legs are lacking in comparison from the front and from behind.
Not so much a size standpoint, a little downsizing compared to his upper body but from an overall separation standpoint of like matching his upper body, he’s not quite there in the legs.
I think his legs can be better but he’s 21. Your legs are not developed fully at that age. No fucking way,” said Seth Feroce.
According to Feroce, Ratushnyi belongs to the ‘0.01’ percent of individuals, forecasting a top-five position for him at the Mr. Olympia Classic Physique in two or three years.
“The only the .01 percent is people like fucking Anton. Freaks of nature, somehow that dude is harder than I ever was which is nuts! Again, he’s that freakazoid, that freak of nature, but with Sam, I think his biggest flaw from a bodybuilding standpoint, not lifestyle standpoint, not training standpoint, not training standpoint, just what you could see.”
“The dude is on a status, Anton personally, I think he could, I think he’s going to be top five at Mr. Olympia in the next two or three years,” explainsFeroce. “I think with his mentality and the people he’s surrounding himself with.”
“Dude is a freak, freak phenom, youngest Classic Pro ever. One of the youngest bodybuilders ever.”
Lastly, Feroce pointed out that Ratushnyi has a bodybuilding coach, while it seems Sulek is training independently.

“He doesn’t have a coach [Sam]. Anton has Kyle. Again, you don’t need a coach but they just help curve your learning curve, they help you learn things quicker. Yeah, but he’s not competing. He’s [Sam Sulek] doing his bulks and cuts. I think if you’re going to do a show at a higher level, Sam is like celebrity status, the fucking dude is a massive deal, I think if he was to do a bodybuilding show he’d be silly not to get a coach.”
“To make sure he gets dialed in, not so much to be like, you can get a coach and you can take as much as you want from them you know what I mean? But if you hire a coach, you should listen to them 100% of the time. That’s what makes you being a good coachable athlete.”
In the bodybuilding community, Seth Feroce isn’t alone in evaluating emerging talents. When fan criticism hit Sam Sulek’s unconventional diet, Lee Priest defended him, clarifying Sulek shares lifestyle choices, not imposes them.
Seth Feroce stays firm, asserting that, currently, Classic Physique standout Anton Ratushnyi prevails as the superior overall bodybuilder. Feroce maintains this view until Sulek enters the IFBB Pro League.
