I've found this to be a most overlooked aspect of prep. Knowing how to present yourself properly on stage in the prejudge and final can mean a place or more.
You do not win the trophy in prejudge, but you can easily lose it there. Knowing the techniques and tricks of executing turns and mandatories properly is a big key to success. As is finding a routine that fits your skills and body type.
Posing should be incorporated into the workout, and perhaps a practice session in substitution for a cardio. Practice is aerobic and will hone your skills and endurance for the stage. I've drilled this into any athlete I've worked.
Anyone with questions or looking for advice or evaluation, just holler. Based on my schedule would be glad to offer what I can. Not a solicitation and no charge.
Getting in contest condition is not enough. Have to know how to show it.
