Bodybuilding Figure Posing Routines
Developing
a great physique is the aim of many health enthusiasts. Lifting weights,
combined with aerobic exercises are very effective in developing a
strong body. However, it is not enough to just develop a great physique,
when entering the world of competitive bodybuilding; it is necessary to
be able to present this physique to perfection when at a bodybuilding
show. It is the perfect figure posing routine that you adapt that spells
success in competitive bodybuilding. Unfortunately, not many
bodybuilders place much emphasis on the figure posing routine, while on
their pursuit for glory.
It is only
with a well thought out figure posing routine, where there is a good
command over the compulsory poses that the judges can tell that you are
confident in yourself and in control of your body. With the right figure
posing routine in a bodybuilding show, the judges get a perfect
presentation of the body. The figure posing routine must have symmetry,
aesthetics, proportion and muscularity, where the judges allot more
points for superiority in this category. So if there is poor posing in
the figure posing routine, points cannot be earned, and of course, there
are fewer chances to be the winner of the bodybuilding show.
It is very
important to develop a strong figure posing routine as it is only
through posing that it is possible to win in a bodybuilding competition.
When posing, if you are not confident, it only brings about a negative
flow of energy from yourself that foils your performance. It is no use
going through the mandatory poses if there is no confidence in your
posing. It is not only the pose that you have to concentrate on in the
figure posing routine, it is also important that you follow the pose in
great detail. Before actually going on a figure posing routine, it is
necessary that you take a pose in front of the mirror. Make it a point
to look at all muscles in the body in detail so that everything is
perfect. Make required changes so that the judges will not find any flaw
in your figure posing routine. Remember, though exercise and diet give
you the body for the bodybuilding show, it is the presentation that is
important.
Besides
being perfect in the presentation in the figure posing routine of the
bodybuilding show, there is another point that has to be remembered,
when a judge calls out a certain pose to be done in the optional pose
section of the show, like double bicep, you have to not only think in
emphasizing on the double biceps but also remember to keep other parts
of the body tight like the abs, legs and lats. It is only if the full
body is tight will the judge allot points for your pose. During the
figure posing routine, the judge can see your whole body and judge you
according to your whole body and not only the pose, so if you are in a
double bicep pose, the judge may not concentrate on the double biceps,
but the v-taper, always remember to pose the body and not the body part.
In the
figure posing routine, the pre-judging phase of the bodybuilding show
consists of compulsory poses which are the front double biceps, front
lat spread, side chest, side triceps, back double biceps, back lat
spread, front abs and thighs and most muscular. Not only do you give the
respective poses, you can also use some music when giving your poses.
When choosing a song for your figure posing routine, make sure that it
is a song that suits both your personality and the feeling you wish to
emit to the audience. Then following the music, you can pose with even
more passion. Perhaps certain lyrics in the song will make remembering
certain poses easier.
After the
mandatory pose round in the figure posing routine, you have a free
posing round where you complete your routine according to the music. You
have up to 90 seconds to choreograph a unique figure posing routine
incorporating the poses that highlight the strong parts of your body.
Remembering all of these points is sure to spell success in the figure
posing routine of the bodybuilding show!
