Feel free to post things in the Daily Discussion Thread that don't warrant a subreddit-level discussion. Although most of our posting rules will be relaxed here, you should still consider your audience when posting. Most importantly, show respect to your fellow redditors. General redditiquette always applies.

Mandatory Pose Wednesday: Side Tricep

Posted: 13 Jan 2021 06:47 AM PST

Welcome back everyone to Mandatory Pose Wednesday! We have a new rule so please make sure to read them!

The main rule for these weekly threads will be that if you are not a verified competitor, you are not to give advice or coaching to those seeking help.

How does one become a verified competitor? Send a modmail with your stage shots and we will work with you to get you verified. Verified competitors will have their flair adjusted for easy identification. Most will get "Verified Competitor ✅" and those who already have custom flair will get ✅ added to it. We will try to verify some of you ahead of time based on the more active known competitors in the sub but this is a call to service for those members in the sub to give trustworthy advice in these threads.

Those who are not verified competitors will be warned once in these threads if they are giving advice or coaching followed by a ban from those threads. Feel free to continue to give advice in the daily discussion but these threads will be for coaching from verified competitors only.

Were hitting Side Tri today:

1) The first step is to 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) There are no rules to the grip position in the triceps pose. You can grab your wrist if you can reach it, the side of your palm, or lock fingers, with the display arm being palm up with the grabbing arm being palm down, or you can do the opposite. Choose whatever is the most comfortable for you personally.

3) Try and straighten out your front arm as much as possible, and pull your shoulder back. Pulling your shoulder back will give your an appearance of more width, and also show the definition of the abdominals, serratus, and intercostals.

4) Finally turn at the waist into a half-face position. This slight twist will give more of a "V" taper to your upper torso, making the waist appear smaller, and the shoulders broader. Don't forget to show all of the judges, from side to side. When you show the judges, it is ok to rotate the arm back and forth slightly so they can have a good look at the long head of the tricep.

Examples:

2020 Mens Open Olympia

2020 Classic Physique Olympia Alex Cambronero

2020 Classic Physique Olympia Terrence Ruffin with a variation

2019 Arnold Classic Luke Sandoe

2020 Womens Physique Olympia Sarah Villegas

2020 Womens Physique Olympia Shanique Grant with a variation

What we're here for:

Everybody is welcome to participate, this aint mirin mondays so don't worry about the status of your bulk or cut. We are here to improve.

Every pose can be hit in more than one fashion. Individual criticisms tailored to the posters physique are absolutely welcome!
