In the world of physique shows, the smallest edge can bring you victory.
2 of 8 Prep your Pose
I can't stress it enough; posing wins shows.
I've seen guys shaking like Bambi on ice during show day and it's not a good look. You can have the best body in the world, but if you don't know how to pose you can kiss first place goodbye. Posing is a way to display your talents and hide your weak points. You should begin posing everyday for 15 minutes once you start training for your competition. You want to exude confidence and an easy way to do that is by practicing every pose and holding each pose for up to one minute. If your muscles shake while in a pose, you're not ready. Learn to out-pose your competition, Arnold was famous for this. He would pay attention to his rivals. For example, when competing in the 1975 Mr. Olympia against Franco Columbo, Arnold would alternate poses to counter Columbo's attempts to outshine him. When Columbo would hit an ab shot (he knew Arnold abs were not as sharp as his), Arnold would quickly transition from a front pose to a back double bicep pose to hide his weakpoints.
