Which classes are you competing in?
Just a bracelet and maybe a new flashy belly ring.
Are you competing in Figure or bodybuilding?First of all you look GREAT!!!! You'll take the show by storm!!
Few pointers for yah...try them and if you feel it doesn't help please disregard.
Front Pose pic - flex those lats a bit harder...I know you can because I can see them in model pose 1.
Left Side pic - don't pull so far back and with a relaxed hands flex that tricep. It will also help striations in the delt. Chin up and stick that butt out a bit more. You want your butt out as the judges love the curves. (You may want to bend the knees a LITTLE bit to get the ass out without arching your back.)
Back Pose pic - looks great, knees look bent which help with the calves...you look good girl!!
Right Side pic - again chin up and no turn with the side pose. Flex that tri and arch that butt.
model pose 1 pic - You nailed it, my only suggestion is to hit leg extensions extra hard. HIGH reps...light weight....and slow..15-20 x 4-5 sets..twice a week. You've got great quads now you've got to bring those lines in a bit deeper.
model pose 2 pic - Arch the butt a bit more and bring the left leg back so your heal is touching your right heal then point those toes out and flex that leg hard!!
You've got this!! You're looking super lean and doing great!! Make sure you're walking in your heals a lot...do the dishes..laundry...etc in them...walking naturally in them will impress the judges.
Don't forget to get some bling for the show.
Good luck and let us know how you do!!
Your legs are probably my favorite, very muscular and yet still very feminine at the same time. Let me wipe this drool off my keyboard here........
My boss just saw me looking at your pic and was like
"Hmmm, what are we looking at here"
lol I just kicked their ass too....
Did some light extensions for Tapout....knee's not hating me too much yet...but i'll be on the foam roller just to make sure later
LOL at the boss thing
Be sure to enter the first time competitor class too, if they have one.
Sorry to hear about your injury!!! Here I am telling you to go kill your poor knees...haha. I would still hit the leg extensions very light, be sure to wrap you knee when doing them...it helps with both medial & lateral injuries. Also stretch SLOWLY after each set. And always ice it after you do legs. If it's too painful then don't push it, it's not worth it!!! Gotta be able to walk on stage!
So here's why I tell you to keep you shoulders square. I stepped in for a judge in November at a local AM Figure/Fitness show and learned a TON!! The side pose is the only figure pose where the judges can see the whole tricep & delt...especially the read delt head. You have great shoulders and don't want to miss showing them off.
Posing is one of those tough things, everyone has their own opinion and everyone does it a bit different to show your strong points and hide your weak points. Your tri's and delts are not weak so lets show them with that side pose!!
Try it and post a pic, let's see how yah look.
I'll try and snap one over the next day or so...gotta find a time when the roomie is home...
it's difficult to set timer...run across room, pose and get it right in under 10 sec
