ALLMAX Signs IFBB Pro Ben Pakulski

Sphere: Related Content

ALLMAX Nutrition is proud to welcome Top IFBB Heavyweight Professional Bodybuilder Ben Pakulski as our newest Team ALLMAX member.

Known as Canada’s #1 bodybuilder, Pakulski has earned himself the title of being one of the top 15 bodybuilders in the world.

“Ben is one of the youngest rising stars in the IFBB," FLEX Editor-in-Chief Allan Donnelly said. "He's a next-generation mass monster and the fans love him. He'll be a force to be reckoned with in the very near future."

“I am so honored and privileged to be part of the ALLMAX team,” said newly signed Team ALLMAX member Ben Pakulski. “I have been using ALLMAX products since I began my bodybuilding career because of their reputation for a high standard of quality.

“I wanted to align myself with a company with a great deal of credibility and integrity to maintaining a great reputation in the sport, while still growing and moving forward. ALLMAX is a perfect fit for me. We both have clear visions of where we see ourselves in the next few years. It is a blessing to have found a company that not only wants to be at the top of their game, but has the true potential to reach it.

“I love the team and can’t wait for the amazing things we will be able to accomplish together as we ascend the ranks of the health and muscle-building world, together."

BPak, as he is affectionately known, placed 5th at the 2011 Flex Pro and was a top 10 bodybuilder in the prestigious 2011 Arnold Classic. Pakulski has been recognized as having some of the best legs and delts in the sport of bodybuilding. Many bodybuilding experts feel that Pakulski has everything he needs to be a top Olympian contender. In time he is going to be a real threat on the IFBB circuit.  

ALLMAX is truly honored to have a top athlete like Ben Pakulski, who is not only extremely knowledgeable about training, nutrition and supplementation, but who is also a great person.

Mitch Clarke Makes his UFC Debut

Sphere: Related Content

Local ALLMAX Athlete and Lightweight Canadian Champion, Mitch Clarke is headed for the big time!

With a perfect record of 9-0, Clarke has remained victorious at the local level and his efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Now, for the first time, Clarke will compete in the UFC 140 against John Cholish this Saturday night, December 10^th here in Toronto, Ontario at the ACC. This is also Cholish’s first time in the UFC octagon. 

“It is a big deal, but if I was fighting John Cholish on a smaller show, I probably wouldn’t have the same emotions. But at the same time, it is a big deal, so you’ve got to treat it like it’s a big deal, but not think about it so much.

“It’s really hard not to get caught up in the moment, but at the same time, when I’m in the gym, I’m working. I don’t want to always be thinking about it because that’s where you see guys stumble — they get caught up in the Octagon jitters, their first UFC.

“I think there is just as much pressure (on both of us) because it’s in the UFC. I think it’s possible that because it’s in Canada — well I hope I get a little bit of support, being Canadian, but I also have to look at the fact that New York is closer to Toronto than Edmonton or Saskatoon.

“I’m the first Saskatchewan-born fighter to get signed by the UFC. It’s a tremendous opportunity; I’m real excited, and I think it’s going to be a good time."

Good luck, Mitch!

Clarke would like to thank ALLMAX for fueling his athletic training and recovery.

Powerlifting at the IPL in Las Vegas 2011

Sphere: Related Content

As many of you know, we traveled to the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas last week for the 2011 IPL World Power Lifting Championships. 

I weighed in at 180.2 lbs and competed in the 181 lbs open single ply division.
 
And I took first place!
 
The set-up, venue and organization of the contest were incredible and my hat is off to the United States Power Lifting Association (USPA) for hosting this event.

Here is a breakdown of my lifts that day:
 

• Squats: 535, 573, 606 lbs – 606 lbs was my best for day
• Bench: 385, 407, 423 lbs – 385 lbs was my best for the day – missed both 2nd and 3rd attempts at lock out, SO CLOSE!
• Deadlifts: 573, 617, 655 lbs – 617 lbs was my best for the day

 
Total: 1609 lbs – this was a 33 lbs personal record for me on my total.
 
I hit my goal for this meet in squats – was disappointed in my bench, but was pleased with my deadlift. 

Every competition teaches me something. Upon reflection of this contest, I should have chosen a smaller jump for my third attempt in the deadlift, but I was chasing my "181 lbs elite total." NEXT TIME!
 
Here is the video:

 
 
I am now prepping for my next competition on January 28, 2012 at the Los Angeles Fitness Expo Pro Power Lifting Invitational at the L.A. Convention Center.
