Legs hurt when Posing

RONJON · Feb 4, 2009

Why is this? It is hard for me to really flex my quads hard because of this..does anyone else have this problem?

My buddy is doing competitions at the natural level and tells me he has been having the same problem and his trainer told him to take a few leg workouts off

..screw that lol any tips?

Well believe this or not
it is generally a good idea not to train legs for about 10 days out from a show. Only pose them while practicing your routine and compulseries. training them before a show can hide a lot of detail that you would want on stage. As for hurting while posing try not to over pose. That is when you try to squeeze too hard. it can cause cramping and yes will hurt. just get them tight enough and then hold that. This takes practice.

Atleast you know how to pose them! LOL! i can't pose them for shit! either i make them stick out to look bigger and ruin any kind of seperation there is, or show seperation but make them look narrow and can't focus on holding my gut in! LOL

have you tried not bending your knees much when posing them? whenever i try to flex them (without locking out the knees), if i bend the knees too much, i get a lock of pain in the inner area between quads and hams and the back of my knee (tendons) start to hurt.
