Wolffenbuttel Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hi Guys! I'm prepping for my first competition in september at the NABBA South Islands.And was hoping some of you could help me out in terms of physique and posing critique? I'm gonna be doing photo's every week but unsure how often I will post them. Please be as harsh as possible as long as its constructive.

DANIEL8 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 you need to learn how to pose properly. posing can hide your weak points and give you the edge.also stop cheating your diet, your not fooling anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 :shock: Jesus, guys, I know Wolffenbuttel asked for harsh criticism, but you could give him some constructive advice as well! Out of interest, how many of you have been on stage yet yourselves?First of all, Wolf, that's a good set of photos you've taken. The only one you're missing is a front double bicep. Still, this gives us a fair idea of exactly where you're at. So you're about 7 weeks out now? I put you at about 13-14%. Assuming a 1% BF drop per week, you could still get down to 6-7%. That's good in theory of course, but it gets harder to keep dropping fat as you get leaner. I think it's still doable - you won't get up on stage and embarrass yourself - but you're really going to have to get moving. I don't know where Daniel8 got the idea that you might be cheating on your diet, but if you were... don't! There's certainly no time for that now.As for your posing... I don't think it's too bad, to be honest. Sure, it could use work - but I've seen a lot worse (and on stage, too!). I'd highly recommend going to as many posing practise sessions as you can. I can give you advice here, but there's no substitute for live feedback. Still, here's a few points...- Keep your head up straight in the rear poses.- Keep your feet together in the side poses. Your front foot should touch the instep of the back foot.- Keep you tummy tight in the side poses. You want to keep your waist as wasp-like as possible to make everything else look bigger.- Pose LOTS in front of the mirror. Play around with it. What happens if you raise your arms a bit higher? Or twist your upper body round to the front more in the side poses? - You don't have a mirror on stage, so when you practise posing, close your eyes, strike the pose, then open them and see where you went wrong.That should keep you busy for a while!

PeterDolan Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bob Chicerillo has a how to pose series on Youtube.

Phedder Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Those pics definitely don't do him justice, looking much better in the flesh :nod: He's progressing along well, in 3 weeks lost 20.5mm off Sum of 8 skinfolds, 4.5cm off his waist and his flexed bicep is up 0.4cm :shock: Keep up the good work bud :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hard to tell, need to get the conditioning right. If your shredded by competition day you should do alright. Posing does need practice as mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsgood Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Fantastic Progress mate! Was unsure you'd be ready to get on stage in time judging from the first set of pics but you've obviously put a huge amount of effort into your diet and you're looking lean and mean. :clap: Good luck with your final prep. Looking forward to seeing your on stage pics \:D/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffenbuttel Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks man! It's getting bloody exciting can't wait to get up there and actually compete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ditto what Soundsgood said. :nod: Keep practising the posing - especially leg position - but your rear double bicep is looking shit hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Really great improvements, as the guys have said you must really be doing the work and dieting hard. Your posing sucks a little bit though. Is there anyone in your gym with some good comp experience who could maybe help you with that?
