What happened to Ben Pakulski? Did he not qualify for 2014?

[PhilAUS]

He talked a mad game in Generation Iron, was that just an act?

[Problematique91]

I'm not sure, but it wouldn't really have mattered anyway. He wouldn't have gotten top 10, even with some people having sub par showings.

He was really over the top with that medical crap in the movie. If you are training in a freaking hospital lab and still suck I got bad news for you Ben Pakulski. I prefer Branch Warren's approach.

[hzx]

Think he injured his back so taking time off to recover and improve

[zzliam779]

probs getting his baby aborted

Yes he plans to make a big come back Arnold Classic 2015

those trainers were cringeworthy

[SuperHybrid]

He's using his MI140X top secret training techniques to bring up his back

[BartPimpson]

He's on a Native American dream quest.

Rumor has it that if you spend thirty days going catabolic inside an Planet Fitness gym, and then inhale some crystallised cell-tech, the ancestors will grant you the secret to a huge back and arms.

[russ26]

He just posted some new videos to his YouTube page of him being trained by hany.

I dunno. I think an on Ben Pakulski could take down Branch's current form.

Considering the conditioning > everything decision for Branch(can't see any other possible explanation) and B-Pak brings some pretty solid conditioning he should have placed well.
BUT he hasn't paid his dues yet man, gotta pay those dues. You know if the dues aren't paid and than your physique is worse

I really think almost nothing out of Generation Iron was real. It's just some elements of pro's lifes blown out of all proportion: Kai's exaggerated poverty, Phil's exaggerated cockiness etc. Just LMFAO at training inside a lab with trainers having electrodes on you on your HEAVY SETS so you can gaugue the muscle activation.

The sad thing is that the bodybuildinig unawares will see this and actually belive that some bodybuilders train like this lol.

This. it was all for entertainment. Bodybuilding IRL = boring and mundane to an outsider, so gotta spice it up

[satoups]

I just never seen what others seen in him. I don't see how he made it this for.....

Its like Pumping Iron and how majority of it was just for entertainment purposes. I still enjoyed watching it even though. I honestly don't think Phil's cockiness was exaggerated. Even his post olympia victory interview was cocky. The way he looked like he was about to cry when Kai was talking smack to him, Phil's got a huge ego (even for bodybuilding standards).

But yeah the lab stuff was ridiculous and so was:


I died during that part lol

[TLF84]

look forward to a 2015 Ben ...... with his legs etc and if he brings up his upper body to better match his legs calves then he should be right up there in the mix pending who is off etc ....but yes he needs to pay his dues

[FAN0FdaSport]

fav moment of GI is when ben isn't called out for top 10 in the Olympia and goes home with hopes/dreams crushed after earlier comparing himself with phil

Back to the lab again

[MrDeafMuscle]

Branch falling off was also my favorite part. There is no way they staged that on purpose close to the O's.

[hairlineofpeace]

He's been busy putting on those pounds of muscle, just watch his videos!

[fretslayer]

Haha! Love it.

[Problematique91]

That's true, next year he will be larger than Ramy easily.
lol

[extricate]

Says he's growing for the Arnold, but I can't see him placing well, especially with Centopani and Compton holding out for it. If he wants to compete in the O I think he go for a bunch of lower-tier shows. Ya, he's got dat gut and some other big weaknesses, but his conditioning tends to be good (and based on recent discussion here seems like numerous people think conditioning > all else) and those legs are freaky. I also believe he has a winning record over the past two years or so against guys who made it to the O on points this year like Smalls and JOJ.

He seems to be building a big following and I believe his workout program is doing well, so I wonder if he's starting the transition to focusing on that full time.

[tom11]

Despite all the hate Ben gets, I actually really like his physique from the front. His most muscular is epic, insane quads, calves and shoulders. His back and arms however look like they belong to an amateur...

He must improve a lot of things to become competitive.

[Canuck77]

Wow, that horse just bucked Branch right of his back like he was a pesky mosquito...

[slinshot]

oh my that video is amazing, is hilarious how he falls and he's mildly disoriented.

That's how you tear a muscle.
