Only in Tijuana.

Everyone competing..: some tips for your photos:
Make sure there is sufficient lighting
Try different stances for the poses till you find what fits you.
There are a number of people here that can help you if needed. Believe me, there are little “tricks” that make a big difference.

I would recommend practicing the poses throughout the competition.

I have a question about poses: does relaxed front and back mean truly relaxed, or like the pose competitors do during 1/4 turns?
Tia!

1/4 turns. It is anything but relaxed. Every muscle should be flexed.
Spread your wings!!! Get the lats to max width!

**HoldMyBeer** · 05-31-2019, 07:28 AM

Any good videos for these poses? Or does any random YouTube video work (within reason)?
And is quads abs and thighs, or am I just not using Google properly?

How to pose video. Remember posing is about showing your strengths and hiding your weaknesses.
