OcUK Health Seekers: Post your progress pics

A lot of people (myself included) aren't bodybuilders and ergo don't know or worry about how to pose. That's the beauty of it though, LiE whilst not posing necessarily at his best, still looks bloody brilliant.

True - good point, it also helps to show improvements more clearly. If I were more interested in doing it for shape/size/looks then I'd definitely look into it more - however, I'm sure Steedie can give some pointers at the next meet and we can all gay it up posing together ;)

I've been recommended to try bulgarian split squats due to my back issue at the moment, and going by a couple of articles they seem a good alternative as you can still pack on size / strength and they're less pressure on the back so to speak :)

I'm up for posing tips Steedie, excitement here! haha:o

Regardless of whether you're competing or you're a bodybuilder I think everybody should try and learn a few basic poses (double bicep, lat spread, etc etc)
They are excellent to gauge progress and assess how things are going in the long term - something that everybody should be interested in.

A good way to think of it is dont look like a cardboard cut out. as in standing upright all in line when facing the camera all in the same plane as it were.

it should be like a sculpture. even tho musculature should be symetrical a pose should not.

it should look like its flowing little things like having a foot in front of the other turn the hips slightly bend a knee here change the angles of the shoulders hold the wrists at diferent heights and angles etc etc its only small things very hard to explain but by watching vids and pics you get the idea

all to often people will do say a front double bicep and stand bolt upright with everytrhing in line and it makes it look all to stiff. same with rear double biceps poses

a favorite is trapovers people find it hard to pop the traps up evenly for some reason its all about control and angles

it does take practice but well worth it if done correctly imo
