CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE JULY || ISSUE 36 | Page 50
GET YOUR CHEESE ON!
SMILE! SMILE! SMILE! Nerves get to us, but without a smile on your face you can
come off irritable, shy, unconfident... even unprofessional. NOTE: You are
fighting for a PROFESSIONAL status! Begin to believe, perform, and pose like it.
Everything you do needs to come from a place where you TRULY believe you
are deserving of that Pro card; the honour of representing Canada in
professional events. Are you ready?
FLATTER YOUR PHYSIQUE
Choose poses that look great on YOUR stage physique.
We have SO many different options now for a front pose,
it's a shame when a competitor isn’t posing to showcase
the strengths in their physique.
Overall, this was such an amazing showing of the amateur and upcoming talent
we have in Canadian bodybuilding. This is such a historic and amazing time to be
involved with the CPA, and we are just at the beginning of an incredible
transformation for this entire organization! I want to end by extending so many
well-wishes for all those competing at the Vancouver Pro Qualifier on July 6!
If you or a fellow bikini competitor are looking for further assistance with posing
and stage presence, The Posing Academy offers CPA-sanctioned one-on-one and
group workshops throughout the year. They also offer a unique "Posing 911" service
for last minute tweaks. See www.theposingacademy.com for more information.
