Posing help..

[Dave_19]

posing is the only area in this sport I have lacked in. I don't compete so I just know the mandatorys, I have little experience with transitions/routines. Its the only thing holding me back from stepping on stage, and I feel I could do well If I decided too, I'm dieting right now for a photoshoot hat lands on the same day as a NPC show, I won't even consider the show unless I first can learn a decent posing routine. Being in so cal where can I go for help? Perfect posing DVD I bought awhile ago and its just too dated.

routines arent hard to make up, all you basically need to know is the mandatories. From there try to see if there is any way you could improve the mandatory pose to look better for your build, and go from there. Id suggest watching some videos of the pasts great posers on youtube or something and look at alot of pictures of pros and amateurs. So you can see what looks good and what not to do. Even pick out some of their poses you like for yourself. There is a ton of info on posing on bodybuilding.com actually. It helped me to draw out on paper little stick figures doing the poses so i could get an idea of how to transition between each. :st:r-wars
