I think brandon could have placed higher had he lightened up a little in his presentation. He looked great but rarely smiled and was flexing like a bodybuilder in a standing relaxed pose. The guys who placed better than him didn't have better 'physiques' but they looked more layed back and even were slouching like 'beach dudes', obv that's what they're lookin for

completely agree
if you were anywhere in earshot of the front of the stage when he came out i kept screaming at him "RELAX ! BRANDON RELAX !"
but it fell on deaf ears lol
so i gave up and thought to myself it is what it is
and texted him as soon as he got off stage that i need to talk to him about his posing
i know what he was trying to do was flex his obliques and abs
but it threw the rest of his physique off
i said your physique is there all you gotta do is stand there
and ya told him about the smiling thing
which he was better at night on that
after the show i showed him pix and so he could see what he was doin
posings an easy fix for nationals in less that 6 wks
i said just stand there and your body will speak for itself
but that said
it was the first time he's been onstage
and no matter how much you practice
being onstage is different
and theres many a client who does stuff onstage that i never saw in months of posing practice
and i'm like wtf ? when they're onstage
well one under his belt
we'll see how he does Aug 11th
we'll see how well he listens to us ubcpower

Well done Brandon, just a couple tweaks and you'll be battling it out for top 5 at nationals.
