FBB's.....CRITIQUE on FRONT LAT SPREAD!!!!

[sweetjane57]

i pose my legs like the girls posted above. im a shortie so it does help elongate me...just pratice! dont wanna fall over in PJ! your a cutie btw!

lol, thanks Tammy

I am tall though, so that is another reeason why my legs are the death of me for fbb!!!!!

Should I bend more at the knees?????

[Ibarramedia]

I was HOPING to get some critique's/opinions of which front lat spread looks better for me. I will be competitng for the VERY FIRST TIME in BB in 4 weeks and need to know which pose I should stick to.....My legs are a weaker bp for me which is why I would like some opinions from all the wonderful/honest/talented fbb's on RX
thanks

also, don't mind the yuck hair/no-make-up look, we take pics FIRST THING Sat Am's. Plus we are re-modeling...so please excuse the location of the pics. HA

one leg OUT? OR both legs UP?

I like the 2nd one. BTW Jane how tall are you?

You must workout a lot.

Wow u look great!! I like the second pic as well... more of an "X" frame!

[Mufasa]

SJ!

You look GREAT!

How many years of training do you have under your belt?

What was it mostly in? (Figure? BB? Other?)


Here are pics of Heather that show her from head to toe.

First, what I call the "FRONT POWER-X":

Then "BACK POWER-X" (again Heather):

(Hope this helps!)

Perhaps the more experienced competitors and judges can explain better in words exactly what one of the best in the World is doing in terms of her stance.

this will sound odd but double check with your local npc b/c some shows like for everyone to use the same pose and don't like this one to be used in the front or back lat spread...it's such a strange thing to type out but it's true!


have you tried with that first shot with going more with a wider angle with the leg that's open? instead of mostly to the front? I'd be curious to see how that would look...I'll see if I can find a shot to demonstrate it...

[tkatmommie]

Gymdiva took it right out of my mouth. tis is a great shot on me too...however in the federation i compete in they CALL out one leg extended. And in some NPC shows the will call for it a certain way, or expect you flat footed otherwise..I would check first, but DEFINATLEY get this pose perfected for your routine either way...it is a great X frame shot for you!!!

HUH???? Very good input ladies....I do believe that I should be able to do the x frame pose from the front, the back however I dunno about...I have not even tried it from the back, so I will just keep at it from the front. WHen I take pics again this Sat I will try both poses again but with the suggestions I have been given and post them up again.

I think I am good with my other poses, it is just this one that is driving me crazy!

I was having difficulty with the front double bi as well.....deciding if I should bring my arms high or leave them leveled straight across....so maybe I will post those then as well to get that critique.

THANKS AGAIN
