Another competitor going up against Kai Greene.

With the end of 2015 upon us and 2016 right around the corner, fans and competitors alike are looking forward to the next season of competitive bodybuilding. This year has been filled with many different developments. Phil Heath’s fifth Olympia win, Kai Greene’s absence from the biggest event of the year, Big Ramy’s record setting progression, all of it making for a very eventful 2015 campaign. When the new year arrives, the first major competition, the Arnold Classic, will no doubt be hosting some of the greatest bodybuilders in the world.

With the off season still in full effect, competitors are still fine tuning their physiques in hopes of making the right preparations for the Arnold as well as for the rest of the calendar year. A great showing at the Arnold Classic will set the tone for the remainder of the year and could decide the fates of many bodybuilders this year. Kai Greene has already thrown his name into the fray and looks to dominate the competition after skipping out on the Olympia this past year. Young gun Cody Montgomery has also stated that he’ll be competing at the event and looks to be the youngest man to win the competition, though he has his work cut out for him with the level of competition that will be on hand. Now another heavy hitter has announced that he’ll be competing at the event with hopes of rising through the ranks. None other than B-Pak himself, Ben Pakulski.

Ben had some decent showings last year, but ultimately wasn’t able to bring his best to the stage in 2015. With a new training facility, less excuses, and new lease on bodybuilding, Ben Pakulski is looking to fix the mistakes of the past and bring a much improved physique to the stage in 2016. Check out what B-Pak had to say in the video announcement below.

How far do you think Ben Pakulski will do this year? Let us know in the comments and forums. Also, be sure to follow Generation Iron on Facebook and Twitter.
