Pose between set.. unless you are shy.. pose at home.. get used to holding the pose because it get's tough standing on stage 30 to 60 minutes! I would use ft first as a source for advice.. they have a great section for bodybuilding contest preparations. Good Luck. .o0 Arnold 0o.

You have to stand still for a certain time in a very hard contracted position, you almost cannot breath and the very worse thing, you have to SMILE and look like you're enjoying it!!! (o: Start practicing NOW!
