Ben Pakulski really downsized
« on: June 02, 2019, 08:21:21 AM »
What I find odd, is given the importance of diet and training, he doesn't still look like an IFBB pro without the drugs.  ??? ???

Going well.

Given my strict regiment of diet and training, I will likely be stepping on the Mr. O stage as a natural.

Drugs are just the finishing touch. Thank you for pointing that out.

LOL @ Ben having the same inferior short biceps as me...maybe literally.  :-X

I recall his calves being amazing.

Maybe he stopped diet and training but kept taking the drugs?

I remember him from the Generation Iron movie where he said if he’s “on” only Phil can beat him. Had a bunch of dudes in lab coats training him. Good for him he got out with his health.

SF1900, we have all seen pics of your gifted physique, which already crushes that of the drug-reliant. I believe you have the right stuff to thong it up at the O. Stay hungry!

;D

At the Olympia press conference that year, he was the only one with the balls to call out Branch Warren.

In hindsight, he never had the genetics to be close to Phil.

Horrible arms genetics. Great calves. BFG [who I think was Tom Prince 🤴 ...the account has since been deleted] stated that Ben had poor arms genetics. I think he said he should have put synthol in his arms...if he was going to put it anywhere.

It’s always weird to me when these dudes go from mass monsters to non-lifters.

Maybe his drugs, training, and diet regime are the same... but now, he isn’t getting enough sleep each night

In FLEX Magazine, sleep was often mentioned as the overlooked “key” in “unlocking” muscle growth

the ones who trained the longest naturally and semi PED use and have solid genetics look the best as father time moves along

example
serge nubret
rory leidelmeyer
vince taylor

Thank you, Kahn!

I will keep up the all natural training and give updates regarding my Mr. O progress.

Thank you for the support!

Serge and Vince also trained light -- and were given a lot of shit for it -- but they didn't accumulate injuries the way other guys have. 
Al Beckles is another good example of this, and another guy who looked great into old age.

It was all downhill after he split from his training guru, Dr. Flip Flops.

Excellent outlier variable beyond the normal data set {drugs, training, diet}, Royalty. Falling asleep on the value of sleep turns waking life into a catabolic nightmare. Also, in addition to physiological reasons for Ben's diminution, maybe there are also psychological hindrances. For example, perhaps at the conceptual level. It's possible that Ben can no longer conceive, and hence cannot believe that he will achieve. As Sun Tzu wrote in the remaining fragments of his long lost training manual, Generals of the Squat Rack: "Every battle is first won in the mind, enhanced with the drugs, forged in training, honed through the diet, and claimed on the stage." Conceptual visualization is the first, sine qua non, step to victorious thonged battle -- it is a must!

Waiting for Coach to chime in here, pretty sure here it’s just a matter of diet.  ;D
