Posing Like a Pro by Lee Labrada: Episode 2: How To Do The Quarter Turn

Episode 2: HOW TO DO THE QUARTER TURN

Labrada shows you how to stand relaxed from all sides in the first round of a contest, as well as why you should be mindful of how you look the second you walk onstage.

 

Not long ago, bodybuilders with an eye toward competing had to hire a personal posing coach to get schooled on the finer aspects of looking good onstage. Sometimes that meant traveling hundreds of miles, and more often than not putting out a few hundred dollars.

All that changed with the Internet.

Today, you can hire an online coach, but why fork over the cash when you’ve now got access to another source-free instructional videos-that are worth their weight in gold? Get a head start on your posing skills by learning the basics from one of bodybuilding’s all-time best posers, Lee Labrada. His nine-part video coaching clinic is called “Posing Like A Pro.”

A pro bodybuilding Hall of Famer who finished in the top four of the Mr. Olympia seven years running, Labrada is considered one of the sport’s elite posers and is best known for his classical posing style.

In this “Posing Like a Pro” video series, Labrada will be your posing coach, providing an opportunity to learn from his extensive knowledge and years of experience. He shares his wealth of knowledge through all rounds of a bodybuilding competition, including how to stand “relaxed,” quarter turns, mandatory poses, choosing your best freestyle poses, and how to arrange your routine to music.

You’ll learn how to hold each mandatory pose from head to toe, and how to avoid common mistakes even advanced competitors make. Labrada also includes plenty of tips on how to best show off your physique to your advantage.

With bodybuilder Ryan Workman serving as the model, Labrada explains the basic posing principles, as well as common mistakes many posers make, and how to present your finished work of art.
