POOR
PRESENTATION
One mistake I see repeatedly is poor
posing and stage presentation. When I
come to watch a bodybuilding show, I
expect to see practiced compulsory poses
and deliberate transitions, and a very
entertaining and well-choreographed
routine. With all of the posing coaches,
instructional videos online, and selfie
cameras that everyone has access to, it
continues to baffle me how unprepared
many athletes are. 
Displaying your hard-earned physique is
the foundation of our sport and it is how
the judges assess you.
Don’t waste all of years of hard work in the
gym and months of contest dieting only to
fall short in showing the judges, friends,
and family your physique the best way
possible.
Do yourself a favour and watch posing
routines of legendary performers like Kai
Greene, Melvin Anthony, and Flex Wheeler.
That level of performance should be your
goals.
To take it one step further, for the IFBB
Pros reading this – we all know that at most
IFBB Pro shows, any of the top 3 could win
that show, but many times what helps the
judges decide who is going to the Olympia
is based on which athlete will bring the best
show to the Olympia stage. You are
professionals so you should perform like
one.
