Ok so I thought I’d help you out first by telling you how I was taught to pose. And I’ll start off with the Front Pose OK? Here goes.
1) Take a Deep breath and push your chest out.
2) Your arms must be flexed. Including your shoulders, biceps and triceps
3) Stomach should be drawn in.
4) Make sure your Lats are flared.
5) Arms should be out to sides. Not too wide though and palms should be facing each other while your fingers pointed but ‘relaxed.
6) Most importantly – Smile! Smile even when you’re practicing! Cos it needs to be natural and not “forced” OK?
You see, you need to make sure you create a V-taper by having wide shoulders, flared Lats and small waist. To do this you need to stand tall, stick your chest out, contract your Lats and pull your stomach in tight.
Another trick is to hold your arms out to the side a little. Just enough so that it allows the judges to see your back muscles from under your arms.
The arms should be flexed at all times but make sure you don’t stand like a stiff puppet
The idea is to squeeze all of your muscles hard but look as comfortable as possible while doing it.
Trust me, until you gain experience in knowing how to flex all of your muscles at once, you will tend to have a tendency to involuntarily relax some of your muscles while posing.
You must be able to stay flexed at all times while onstage because you never know when the judges are looking at you! Constantly remind yourself to ‘flex and squeeze.’ Eventually you will develop the stamina and concentration to keep all of your muscles ‘tight’ without relaxing.
Hope this helped you. Look for my other posts OK?
Gotta go now.
