Mandatory Pose Wednesday: Back Double Biceps

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 06:48 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.

We are hitting Back Double Biceps today:

1) First, as always, we will begin with the feet. DIAGRAM HERE. The feet can be the other way too, depending on whether you are stronger with your left or right side, but the general positioning remains the same. Make sure your rear foot is pointed outwards and that your knee follows in the same direction. This will allow your quad sweep to be visible from the back, and your whole lower body will appear much bigger. Don't be afraid to sink in to the stance.

2) Simply strike a biceps pose, and make sure to rotate your hands to the back as far as they can go. Lean back slightly – only slightly, while sticking out and flexing your glutes.

3) Keep your shoulder blades apart from one another while rotating your elbows back to create the best width illusion because it's hard to hide a big waist in this pose. Experiment and see what works the best for you!

Examples:

Kai & Phil

Regan Grimes Europa 2020

Chris, Terrence, and Breon Olympia 2020

Chris, Terrence, and Breon Olympia 2020 Classic Variants (Ill make classic variants its own thread in the future)

Daniely Castilho Olympia 2020

What we're here for:

Critique the pose, not the poser

Everybody is welcome to participate, this aint mirin mondays so dont 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!
