What we work on
The classic physique mandatory poses
Classic physique judges reward the Golden Era look: a small waist, wide shoulders, full legs and lines that flow from one pose to the next. These are the mandatory poses you will hit at prejudging:
- Front double biceps. Flare the lats, pull the waist in and show the sweep of your quads.
- Side chest. Pick your better side, stack the shoulders and keep the near leg flexed.
- Back double biceps. Spread the back, show the calves and keep the arms high enough to frame the lats.
- Abdominals and thighs. Hands behind the head, abs crunched down and one leg out and flexed.
- Favorite classic pose. Your signature pose, chosen to show your best lines. Under IFBB and NPC rules the most muscular is not allowed here.
Rules can change by federation and season, so always check the rules for your show.
Quarter turns, the vacuum and transitions
Before the mandatories you will do quarter turns: front, side, back and the other side. Judges use them to compare shape and symmetry, so stand tall, stay tight and never let the waist relax between turns.
The stomach vacuum is the signature of the division. A vacuum you can hold under stage lights, with your heart racing, takes practice. Sheronica builds it into your transitions so you move from pose to pose without losing your waist.
Build a routine that fits the classic look
In most leagues, classic physique finals include a short individual routine to music. A good classic routine is slow and controlled, uses your strongest poses and tells the judges you belong on stage.
Sheronica coaches the mandatories, quarter turns, vacuum and routine one on one, in person at Lift 365 Downtown Orlando or by live video from anywhere.
Classic physique posing mistakes we fix first
- Holding the vacuum too long and losing control of the breath.
- Hitting a most muscular style pose as your favorite classic pose.
- Shoulders shrugged up, which hides the neck and narrows the frame.
- Sloppy feet in quarter turns.
- A routine with too many poses and no flow.
