The art of posing

rippedglutes · 22-07-2007, 10:49 PM

it might be worth while doing some posing in the gym infront of gym members or even at home infront of family cos this may help you get over the embarrassment of standing around in your knickers...

yeah i agree with av on this one... i make a point of stripping off to my undies in the gym when its fairly quiet and just going through my mandatories to check my condition, this does 2 things for me:

1 - get to see how fat i am

2 - you get used to being half naked with strangers around you.. what normally happens is people will come up and ask lots of questions etc. so it also helps get you used to focussing on your posing and not paying much attention to what is going on around you.

while posing in front of people and other competitors in the gym they can also input into slight changes in how you hold your pose that shows the muscle better ie, pushing thighs together on side poses to give a thicker look to the hamstring, and other small tweaks like that.

Thanks for the info guys you have been a real help. There's a good studio in my gym with mirrors all round so I should be able to see myself in different angles. I've more or less picked my tune now so I'm going to start putting my routine together. Thanks guys
