    Default Ben Pakulski shouldve been top 5

    I dont normally post stuff... but his conditioning was insane he shouldve been top 5 I think the guy worked his ass off for that conditioning.. Wolf one of my favorite bb was way off if he was switched with Ben I wouldnt have complained or if Toney took 3rd Ben 4th House 5th. Thats just my opinion

    He should have placed 5th after Freeman. Fankhouser was gifted that Olympia invite.

    I can't begin to imagine how he placed after Mishin, but whatever...

    Normally Dave is quick to jump on bad calls like this one, but even he was slobbering all over Fankhouser. Yes, he's made improvements, but Ben is just way more complete and more conditioned while still being able to stand beside Erik's monsterous wheels.

    Give Ben some better arms and we have ourselves a competitor!

    dont know if you are going by pics or what, but in the prejudging video posted on md, fankhouser definitely deserved top 5, so did ben. i would agree with putting wolf 6th, fankhouser and ben could both be 4th or 5th either way.

    i wouldnt say pakulski is more complete though, he needs a lot more back thickness(so does fankhouser in RLS)

    Pakulski has T-rex arms.

    Saying he should have been top 5 means he can be legitimately compared to Toney, and we all know, thats laughable.

    And yes MarBasxx, his excessive synthol/site injections in his delts look stupid.

    Everyone is going to think that someone should have placed higher than they did. I wasn't impressed with Wolf or Fankhouser. But, they got the places they did.

    I disagree but maybe next year. Pakulski is moving up the ranks.

    I was just saying he was good enough to be in top 5 not to take anything away from the other guys they are all good guys, I just thought wolf & freeman were a bit off. I highly doubt thats synthol prb just normal injections to be honest, he does need to get his mid section a little smaller & more back thickness will come. I was just giving the dude props he looked good

    Nope, he was placed correctly.

    I have to disagree.

    Ben has got some good things going for him but at this stage, doesn't compare to Toney Freeman or the guys who placed in the top 5. This show is actually one of the few shows where I think they nailed it; no controversial decisions or placings.

    He was correctly placed.
