posing is incredibly tough to do correctly..it is an art form indeed
it can also make you or break you - be the difference between winning with perhaps a slightly less impressive physique than someone else, or losing despite being the best built dude on stage
my .02 - take posing to heart, and nail all mandatory shots
also learn to accentuate what is your strong points, and hide what may otherwise be lacking -

Yes should be interesting!
I'm taking it to heart, my coach feels pretty strongly already that my build is great but has been stressing posing, he is very experienced and I'm nervous but excited to learn whatever I can. I def know important this aspect is!
Thanks Snags!

Great stuff bean!
Yeah, posing looks like it would be tough... I can get on stage for music no problem, but posing would be a whole different worldhttp://anabolicminds.com/forum/powerlifting-strongman/240580-road-derby-cup.html - 02-09-2013, 03:26 PM
Posing is something you should practice everyday. While working out. Everytime you practice you should act like the judges are in front. Also watch alot of videos on it. Theres a couple on youtube.

Posing and smiling. The fake smile is hard to get down. Its hard to hold a pose and fake smile without just looking like you are going to poop your pants. I would video myself posing and set times aside, consider it part of your workout. Like Madds was saying you may be too far out for fat burners, may want to wait till about 6 weeks out depending on where your at.

Yeah you never wanna be ready to early..... that sucks... i have a hard time smiling also... lol in pictures its funny seeing the face i make.... its always while im breathing out lol....
But def save the fat burner for like four weeks out. If diet is on point you should be able to get to prime w/o fat burner.
Think of it thia way. Your body adapts so dont do the extreme things first... save your fat loss tricks for last. Im tellin you you will be fine sir.
My last comp i took a fat burner to early... and i only trained for a 10 weeks prep. So focus on little cardio and triple sets and mainly diet. Carbs are only for morning and after workout. No matter how many carbs your eating daily. Split in half for morning and other half for post... itll keep you real full.... and also drink bcaas all day everyday to keep as much muscle during this low calorie diet so you dont loose any muscle. - 02-09-2013, 04:30 PM
Ya the cardio and fat burners can be tricky. I drop weight fast with too much of either. If your diet is on point you should be able to make enough adjustments between that and cardio without adding in the burners to early. PLus I Know form extended fat burner use I feel really crappy after a few weeksAll posts by mattys4 are the result of a very creative imagination and should not be considered advice nor taken seriously - 02-09-2013, 04:50 PM
Oh I'm not using one for a while.
It's weird.
I see my coach a lot at the gym so he will have me dialed. I'm going to start practicing everyday.
I was originally going to start the two at 8 weeks but I'm going to wait and see. My coach is currently only concerned that I may be ready to early so he's giving me weekly refeeds.
He told me today I look great thinks ill do real well. Told me to take it easy tomorrow on legs with the cough/cold I have and do minimal cardio until further notice.
