Iv been sitting here thinking back to the benefits iv seen personaly from posing and thought I would voice my take on how important it is to pose. I know this means more for people with aspirations to compete but iv read and seen through my own experience how beneficial posing can be in building your physique. Iv read in many articles it helps with muscle hardness but i feel the MOST beneficial thing it has helped me with is building a better mind muscle connection. Ill give my most recent experience, I was posing in the mirror a few months ago and i noticed that my right quad has more seperation in it than my left. I came to the conclusion that it wasent due to lack of development but tha fact that i tend to put my leg forward while going through poses(as do most bodybuilders). In some poses you put most your weight on one leg so you can display the other better. ANd for me it tended to be my right leg, I started using my left leg as my display leg and within 2 weeks of flexing mostly my left quad i had the same level of seperation and it all came down to the fact that i had very little mind to muscle connection wit that leg and could not flex each muscle in it properly. Thats just one example and i wont make this long winded by adding another id just like to hear some of your takes on the benefits of posing especially from you Vets that compete. Thanks!
