If anyone is willing to post videos, of yourself or your fav BBer showing how to pose. Maybe some step by steps?. I’m having difficulty trying to look natural and smile while holding them. I don’t know what all parts I’m supposed to be flexing in a given stance.
any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I know this is going to take a lot of work. I tried to hold poses last night after my workout, and I realized JUST how hard it is.. it’s a workout in and of itself.

Yep. He and I were just talking about this yesterday.
I didn’t see it. This should be deleted so there’s no confusion.
sorry about this.

This is a link to a video by John Meadows going over posing with an ifbb pro.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nmFsMLcdkms

This one is Chris Bumstead going through his poses with the head ifbb judge.

It's interesting to see and hear the feed back on things the untrained she first pick up.

Thanks for this... I suck at posing too. Don't plan on going on stage, but have friends and family who want to see my progress. Hard to drop that wow factor if I don't know how to properly make the details pop out when I flex.

Damn, as the posing went on, Christ started to get a pump. I never noticed how dense his chest was till some of those closeups. Hell of a body on that guy.

I find using your face is the most effective

Very insightful, that John Meadows. Too bad we lost him too soon. RIP John

For anyone doing a competition, a posing coach is money well spent.

Competition today so perfect timing.
I am older so there are numerous flaws that I have. I pose to hide my weaknesses and show off my strengths.
I can guarantee you that no one poses like I do. Side tricep… you are not seeing the loose skin, however you are seeing my abs.

I hate like 99% of the pics I have taken. Side tricep is one of the few I like consistently.
