Learn how to pose
Knowing how to pose can win or lose a competition. In competition, there are compulsory and individual poses. You will need to have them both mastered and be able to do them for long periods of time with a smile on your face. In a competition, even if it isn't your turn you need to be flexing. It doesn't matter what kind of shape you are in if you can't display it correctly. The best way to learn how to pose is to pick a successful role model that has your same body type and try to incorporate their style into your own. I also recommend getting one of those "learn to pose" videos, they can be helpful to some people.

• Front double bicep


• Front lat spread


• Side chest


• Back double bicep


• Rear lat spread


• Side triceps


• Hands over head abdominals and thighs



Free Posing
This is the point in the competition when every bodybuilder goes through his own posing routine to try and show his strengths and impress the judges. Some people use entirely new poses but most are just slight variations of the compulsory ones. You will need to experiment with some of your own and try to find what works best for you. Try to exploit your strengths and hide your weaknesses throughout your entire routine.

The Pose down
This is my favorite part of the entire competition. Each guy tries to position himself next to a guy that has an inferior physique. But don't shy away when a slightly bigger guy comes your way. You have to know your competition and try to exploit their weaknesses by showing your superior muscles and definition.
