Classic vacuum pose

[7_Deadly_Sins]

Does anyone have any tips/advice or links on how to prefect this pose?
It's most likely my #1 all time fav pose and I'd like to be really good at doing it.


Here's an EX of the pose.

Does doing it just come down to having a thing waist and low BF, or is there more to it?
Also I cant tell, but did he manpuliate his chest(expand it) to make the pose look more dramatic?

Always a big fan of this one as well and according to the Arny book its just a matter of practice and more practice.

I agree....I just saw one guys on riplies who did the pose and sucked his intest. into his upper body(or so they said) such a small waist...hell I was thinking of using corset to get a small waist, haha.

Notice how non of the examples are recent?

I think NPC and other orgs should bring it in as a Mandatory. I bet that would change the sport a little.

I really hate this pose. It looks weird. I would rather see muscle, not hanging skin.

Ricky Parks had one of the most ridiculous vacuum poses I've ever seen. When he would hit it his waist almost disappeared. He was the 2001 NPC National Bantamweight Champion.

Hanging skin? Not seeing any hanging skin from these photos?

You consider this no muscle?


I understand if you dont like it, I just think its silly to say these guys dont have muscle...I'd pick his tiny waist any day of the mass monsters.

No, I didn't say they have no muscle. I meant it doesn't display any muscle (in the abs) during a true vaccum pose.
It's silly to say that a vaccum pose displays any muscular development, in the ab area.

For the most part you're right though.

im thinking that guy Tamer El Shabat could also pull this off.. he got his pro card in egypt i think... apparently there is no growth there causes hes real thin through the mid section.. looks like a great calvin klein model... not sure how hes a pro but thats for another thread..
