So I've decided to enter a comp in aug that's about 6 weeks away. I recorded a couple posing vids but it's hard for me to practice as I don't have a big mirror. Its too awkward to pose in front of the mirror in the busy part of the gym.




I'm just asking for general advice on posing as I don't know anyone irl doing comps and no one is helping me with anything.


My diet plan is just reducing my cals until I'm loosing weight. I'm eating about 180g of protein and manipulating fats and carbs for the caloric deficit. I don't have a plan because my job is sometimes really physical (climbing hills all day, carrying 30kg gears, drilling holes by hand up to 5m deep) or just being in the office drafting. This way I'm doing my caloric intake by 'feel'.


My routine is back/abs, chest/shoulders, legs/abs, shoulders/traps and arms. Lost quite a bit of strength. But that's all sorted now.


Sucks I've lost quite a bit of strength and muscle during my cut. Now the losses are sorted.  I wasn't just eating right cause of other priorities before.


Before my cut I was benching 90kgs x8, deadlifting 170kgs x2, squatting 130kgs x4. Now I can barely bench 80kgs. The lost of strength was due to my studies part time and I didn't had enough time to gym and eat.


 


Thanks.


I look totally different in pic than video. This pic was taken the same day.

What posing is this? Men's physique?

I think it's worth the time and money going to get help from someone. I'm sure you are friends with all these NZ fitness celebrities on social media, ask them for help. Prob cost you but it be a good investment.

Didn't filter it. Just sharpened it.

You edited it bro. Same diff lol

 

You're pretty lean already so you should be able to get comp condition in time. I'd at least try to track calories to have an idea of your diet cos it'll get harder closer to comp time and just winging it might work for now but may not work too well later on.

 

As Realtalk said, there are plenty of physique competitors around. Ask one of them for help cos you look like you could definitely sharpen up the posing.

Lol alright mate. Like I said you want to actually go see someone to help you giving advice over forum so hard. Not many if any men's physique competitors on here that actually contribute. Good luck keep us updated with who u go see and how you found it.

I eat the same food all the time so it's easy to reduce/manipulate.

 

Yeah, maybe I'll ask them cause I look awkward asf with posing lol.

This category so popular now. It's crazy.          

 

Maybe it's because it looks more aesthetic and even nattys like my self can compete. Don't have to be overly big to win and that lean either. And hiding the legs help haha.

Gotta be way bigger than you are currently to be competitive bro. Not hating, just being real.

Come on guys... We could be a little more encouraging than this.

It's true that we don't have many physique competitors here right now - but we want more, so we need to help the ones we do have. Leeroid, you competed in physique, haven't you?

JCO, I'm at work now, but I'll see what I can do for you tonight...

yeah i agree with peso for once.

i work an office job and i get very bored often and i get more bored when nothing is going on in the forum, so i want more members, so stop giving this guy shit plz, my career depends on it!

 

_jco don't go in expecting to be super competitive but make the most of it and enjoy yourself. first competition in any sport is gonna be a big learning curve so i would say if you can afford to, make it a bit easier for yourself by paying someone to teach you to pose. if you improve that a lot its one less thing to count against you on the day, and be better experience if you dont feel uncomfortable doing it (like in the vids)

Yeah, I'm not hopeful on winning. I mean I can't control what the others going to look like on the day. I'm competing against myself though. I think I have the mentality like you described except for paying someone on how to pose. But maybe I do need it.

I am going to butt in here, once apon a time there were no sure people as trainers for competition! But what did happen was experience competitors supported and advised new comers!

I come from that period so l appreciate the support l get from a knowlegable and experienced trainer!

However l also can see that new competitors new some encouragement and time before they are ready for a trainer.

If you would like some posing assistance pm me and we can arrange something!

I have more than sufficient experience behind me including competition experience, years judging IFBB shows nationally and internationally.
