 Keep heels fairly close together
Helps maintain a symmetrical appearance. Wide upper torso, taper to waist, wider at quads, and taper again to lower legs
Angle toes outward
Rotates the quads some and make the upper legs look larger due to displaying more quadriceps while still displaying hamstrings
Bend legs at knees a little
Displays a more natural appearance
Press down on toes
To flex calves
Tense hamstrings and glutes
Shows definition in those areas
Flare the lats
Creates a more impressive v-taper to the waist
Don't roll shoulders forward
This rounds the back and makes it appear narrower
Arch back slightly to tighten lower back
Shows more definition in that area
Tense arms
Shows better definition in the triceps and forearms
Do not over-exaggerate arm placement
Takes away from the appearance of the pose and makes it look unnatural. Arms will extend outward to the sides some due to flared lats, but they should not purposely be held further out than what the lats push them
Keep head facing directly forward
Looking down or tilting the head back takes away from the aesthetic appearance of the physique
Use hand positioning to compliment physique
Long arms- close fists and curl wrists to make arms look shorter, or short arms- keep wrists straight to make arms appear longer to make the physique appear more symmetrical
