Maintain good posture

Bending over too much is notorious in bikini competitions. In an attempt to overcompensate for a lack of glute development, I often see athletes over arch or bend over too much.

Here are a few tips to maintaining good posture:

✅ Keep your chest up as if a string is pulling your chest to the ceiling

✅ Pay attention to your glutes to see if they start to lose their shape when you arch or bend over

✅ Maintaining good posture will help you keep your balance while you transition

DM me if you need to schedule an in person or virtual private or would like to attend a group class or if you need recommendations for other coaches in the area.

Practice being on the "diagonal"

Often times during prejudging, athletes will wait on the diagonal until they are called out or present their individual routine.

Judges are definitely looking at you when you are on the diagonal so ensure that you are presenting the right angle to the judges.

Practice and perfect your posing!

Group posing vs Privates

There's a purpose for both but the benefits vary. I think it's important to have a combination of both during your prep and here's why.

Benefits of a private session

✅ Emphasis on learning the basics
✅ Individualized instruction
✅ Step by step instruction at your pace
✅ Focused physique assessment
✅ Personalizing your style

Benefits of a group class

✅ More affordable option
✅ Great way to prepare for stage
✅ Getting feedback as you are compared to others
✅ Opportunity to meet others
✅ Work out your timing and spacing

DM me if you need to schedule an in person or virtual private or would like to attend a group class or if you need recommendations for other coaches.

I always teach to make each transition picture perfect as if a picture was being taken of every transition to the next pose. This is how you can present your best physique throughout your posing routine.

It is evident that Tianna .weymouth_ifbbpro has great glute development in both pics but a slight adjustment to her arm also shows athleticism in her upper body while balancing out her physique and presenting a better overall look!⁣

If you don't have an eye for these details, hire someone who does.⁣

The behavior that keeps many people from achieving success is self-limiting beliefs. ... Self-limiting beliefs includes thinking you are too inexperienced for a job, believing you shouldn't take a risk because you'll fail, thinking it is too late, or you don't need more money because you are comfortable.⁣

There are a variety of figure presentation poses you can choose for your presentation routine. Take the time to assess different poses and how they look on your physique versus copying what you see the pros do.⁣

You can see in this comparison how these two poses show different strengths in her legs and overall physique. is in great shape and just a few weeks out from her next show.⁣

She is available for posing instruction as well! 😊🙌🏾⁣

Let's take a poll? How many weeks out should a person start practicing their posing?

Practice makes perfect! It is great to practice with a group because it will prepare you for the stage! DM for more information about our group posing classes for men and women or private sessions.

This is an effort to "pause" our regular day to day social, work, athletic etc posts and use this time to post more education on bringing awareness to the BlackLivesMatter movement and how we, as a nation, can take active steps to change the culture of injustice and inequality that exists today. I know it can be overwhelming for those of you who do not live with this daily, but we challenge you to be uncomfortable and do your part to evoke change.

Great post by ! Thank you! I will be addressing this change with my jose clients and in my posing classes. Repost from

UPDATE and CLARIFICATION on the new NPC/IFBB bikini rule change from :

I has a conversation with to clarify exactly WHAT angles qualify as the now banned teacup pose. And he said that The Arnold show this year is what caused them to make this rule change official after several of the top 6 in the pro show did some variation of the Teacup pose and it made them realize how prevalent the pose had become and wanted to put an end to it. He sent this image as examples of where it was used. This visual is much more helpful because it is NOT just in that front pose. It is your transitions as well.

For everyone thinking that it is just the hand being cocked up, no. It is the elbow bend at ANY height, turning the arm away from your body, as shown here. 💃

Classic Physique is really blowing up!⁣
What a great division that celebrates bodybuilding and provides another option for those genetically inclined to stay within their height and weight limits.⁣
⁣
These are photos from the weekend posing classes at , and ⁣
We believe in training all the men’s divisions in the Classic bodybuilding poses. It’s important to build a foundation for your posing!⁣
⁣
If you are looking for help in your posing or looking to see how you fare in a class, DM me. Don’t worry about revealing your physique before a show. It’s wise to get critiqued before a show and learn what you need to do to improve BEFORE the show!⁣
