[7_Deadly_Sins]

Does anyone here have a posing DVD like perfect posing or pose to win or something?
Any good?

My advice to you is go to alot of shows and watch. You can tell who poses better than others. Also, if you know a competitor who competes on a regular basis, you can learn from him. And Practice in fornt of a mirror relentlessly!

The Perfect Posing video is a good place to start but Pesty is correct in saying that you must practice relentlessly. Enjoy the journey!

Posing

I would go to Youtube and spend an hour or so each night checking out specific guys. Make a log, and catalogue them. And, as said, go to the shows.

There are so many styles and takes on posing that I don't know if anyone could sum it up, other than to say to show off your good points and conceal your bad.

Rusty Jeffers is very good and has a fluid style transitioning inbetween poses. He also works well with music--I suspect his wife helps him since I understand she was a gymnast.

Also, Ed Corney--from my generation--was great. He combined movement & music effortlessly. YouTube has the Olympia 1983 clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL5X55-50Go

That doesn't mean that either would be good for you. I've seen guys pose who make me think of parallel parking a tank--yet they showed off their bodies effectively. For my money, illusion, drama and timing, PLUS the music, make the posing work.

Go to a few local shows and mainly just watch alot of youtube. You will find hours upon hours of posing over at youtube.
