T
hese guidelines can
be applied to all of
your poses, and will
help to ensure that you are
presenting yourself like a
Pro when it’s time to step
on stage.
Always set your poses up from the
bottom of your body through to the
top. Imagine you’re stacking a tower.
This will help you to avoid missing
any check points.
Your CHECK POINTS are:
3
Flare and spread your lats to
display your V Taper. Make
sure that you work on displaying
the full width of your lats by finding
a pose that suits your body. This
will enable you to present a strong
X SHAPE to the judges.

Lastly, engage your shoulders
and sit them onto your lats
to showcase a strong top line
(symmetry and balance from
shoulder to shoulder). Do not hunch
your shoulders as you will lose width
on the lats and look trap dominant.
2.1
Stand with your heels turned in
slightly with your toes turned
out. Try to pull your heels together,
then grip the floor with your toes.
Next, rotate your quads outwards
and engage your inner thighs.
Now your legs are switched on!
2
Lift your midsection and
engage your core to make the
abs visible, but do not crunch
down and shorten/compress the
abdominal section.
