Ben Pakulski is looking most improved.

The Toronto Pro show occurred over this past weekend with rising star Nathan De Asha taking the top spot. The young bodybuilder has exploded onto the scene out of nowhere much like the unheralded Josh Lenartowicz did at the 2016 Arnold Classic this past March. It’s becoming more and more clear that a new breed of bodybuilders, a new generation of potential stars are set to take over the game. The veterans of the sport are still their top positions due to their experience and muscle maturity through years of training and competition. But the young guns are coming and it appears that nothing is holding them back. That being said, one of the more impressive showings at the Toronto Pro wasn’t from some young hungry lion, but rather from one of the true veterans of the sport: Ben Pakulski.

Though Pakulski has been impressive during his bodybuilding career, he has never quite broken into the absolute top of the bodybuilding stratosphere. Those positions have been reserved for greats like Phil Heath, Kai Greene, Dexter Jackson, Dennis Wolf, and Shawn Rhoden in recent years. Pakulski has always had the potential to compete against the competitors at the top of the division, yet he’s been missing a signature element that truly sets him apart from other competitors. It appears that at the Toronto Pro however that Pakulski has brought a new element to his game.

At this past weekend’s show Pakulski performed a unique posing routine that featured the veteran bodybuilder pulling off a vacuum pose. His waist has tapered in dramatically and has brought together his physique in a whole new way. Though Pakulski took 4th place at the show, many believed that he possibly could have placed higher. Take a look at the Instagram pic below showing off Pakulski’s progress.

Who would have thought to hear Pakman and vacuum pose in the same sentence but it happened last night. It’s a very good look for Ben! #torontoprosupershow #torontopro
