I was doing a posing coaching session yesterday with a first time competitor preparing for a contest coming up in August. We went over all the basic relaxed poses and the mandatory poses in great detail. It’s amazing how much you can enhance your physique by holding the poses correctly.

Drug Free Competitor Tip of the Day

NEW Movie Clip – Teaching Stu how to pose.

One element of “I Want to Look Like That Guy” is Stuart MacDonald actually competes in a bodybuilding contest as his end goal. So that meant he not only had to get “bodybuilding lean” he also needed to learn how to pose and present himself onstage. Along with overseeing his training and diet I also had to teach him how to pose. We worked on presentation weekly as we got...
