    What do you think is the biggest "robbery" in bodybuilding history? I think it's the 1997 Mr.Olympia!

    Mandatory Pose Wednesday - Side Chest

    Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:33 AM PDT

    NEXT WEEK'S POSE: Rear Lat Spread

    Excerpt from Troy's post on r/bodybuilding's Second Annual Online Bodybuilding Contest:

    POSES - You must submit, in addition to the code word photo, just one photo of yourself in each of the following poses for your category of competition. If you need help with posing, photography, dieting or proper attire, please search the web for guidance. There are many good sites and videos on each subject. Of course, our FAQ also has good information on contest prep.

    Here I'll be trying to create a practice environment for us to critique one another in preparation for this competition! What good is a world-class physique if you don't know how to show it off when it matters most? (Note: I will unfortunately only be posting the male version of these poses. If you have ideas for a female version of these threads please let the mods know.)

    Welcome back to another installment of MPW! Were hitting Side Chest today.

    1) Lower body start! Face the side, then put the ball of the outside foot (the one that faces the audience) into the instep of the inside foot. Spike the outside toe flexing the calf. Drag your outside leg across your inside leg to elongate the muscles, then put your inside knee behind your outside knee into your hamstring, and squish both legs together as you sit into the stance. This is what gives that freaky hamstring look from the side. It is actually the other leg in the back that is making the muscles "pop" by squishing it out.

    2) Scoop your rear pec with your rear bicep. Squish and flex the bicep into the side of the pec, this will help make it appear bigger, and bring out some striations.

    3) Grab the wrist of your outside arm with an over top grip, make a fist with the outside hand, palm up.

    4) Brace tightly with your inside arm, while making a movement to "pull away" with the outside arm. This will force everything in the outside arm to flex, from your shoulders right down to your forearms. This will also help to bring out the rear delt, which will make the shoulder appear larger, and fuller.

    5) Rotate your torso and half face the judges while keeping the legs pointed straight ahead. Smile!

    Examples:

    2010 Olympia

    Juan, Dennis, Kai, Phil

    Franco with that hard 'mire of Arnold

    What we're here for:

    Critique the pose, not the poser

    Every pose can be hit in more than one fashion.

    The age old battle... Who wins?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 06:26 PM PDT

    Who wins? 90's bodybuilders or today's? Personally I feel the combination of size, proportion and conditioning was far superior in the 90's. Back then you had 8 guys on the Mr O stage 100% dialed in.... Nowadays it's a hit or miss. They either have size with no condition and shape.... Or conditioning, but lack size and shape.
