Im not entirely sure but I would say a modified most muscular pose is the oldest pose. Even guys like Harold Poole (sp) and guys from that era were doing some type of version of it. Front double biceps would be next id imagine.

My personal favorite is the twisting side chest like Arnold did. This pose shows off the chest to waist ratio, deltoid detail, arm size and detail, hamstrong/quad seperation, calves, etc.

The back double biceps would be my second favorite especially Dorians and Wheelers. This pose shows off the entire posterior and I like it even better when there is great calves to compliment it.

MrUniverse61 · 10-04-2006, 07:43 AM

Favorite pose is def. the most muscular followed by the victory pose Lee Priest style!

Then possibly the front double bi and Arnold's twisting rear double bi

My favourite pose is definetely the victory pose... too bad only two people can pull that off - Olivia and Priest.

disagree with you ,mike matarazzo could have been very good at that pose,he had good arms

TJ_Strong · 10-04-2006, 08:25 AM

The semi lean front double bicep like arnold and zane did.

Also the overhead frank zane pose.

Wayneizgod · 10-04-2006, 08:29 AM

Side chest is defintly my favorite pose

bbjeff86 · 10-04-2006, 08:56 AM

I voted for back double bi, but it would really depend on the pro for which pose i like the best.

Markus Ruhl- Front lat spread, Most muscular
Ronnie Coleman (2003)- back double bicep
Lee preist- Victory pose
Dorian Yates- Back lat spread
Branch Warren- traditional most muscular

gaberox · 10-04-2006, 09:13 AM

Wheelers back doulble bi is my fav.I prefer poses that show the most detail as opposed to power poses like rear lat spread.

Bigdolf · 10-04-2006, 09:27 AM

Dorian Yates side tri was a thing of beauty.

Rambo26 · 10-04-2006, 09:46 AM

My fave is probably back biceps for the detail, but it depends on the physique

Side abs poses are usually awesome, Levrone doing it especially

timo2007 · 05-30-2007, 04:04 PM

Got to be Frank Zane's supine above head double forearm pose, shows forearms, biceps, serratus and abs at once. I love classic posing
....second one would be Arnold's side double biceps showing the sheer mass of his biceps from both inside and outside of arms at once.
Now for compulsories....I like the front lat spread, showing the true symmetry and definition of the front at once with thighs.

You could add Steve Reeves to that list, I'm not certain but I do believe he made the victory pose popular ... btw, that's my favorite pose too!

yeah, what's a front chest?

NaturaLPumP · 05-31-2007, 03:29 PM

Im a back double bicep fan, but love the lat spread too. But I have to say the ab thigh pose seems to be making a comeback. The judges look at that pose, they want the x frame. That pose makes guys like victor, dennis, dexter, and phil top contenders.

Malteada · 05-31-2007, 04:35 PM

guys please :S when you post your favorite pose ... can you please post a picture of that pose and if you want with your fav bbder doing it? .. i dont know any pose name :S

Guardian · 05-31-2007, 05:33 PM

I personally now believe the side chest is the best pose

It shows off the greatest amount of a persons physique at one time. It shows conditioning via possible intercostal appearence (check out Levrones famour side chest). If a person has the right structure and hits the pose right it can show lats as well. It also shows the deltoid conditioning well as well as the midsection to upper body ratio. This is prolly why now a days the pose isnt as popular, because most guys with bloated waists dont look very good in it so they alll want to hit the back poses..

Big_G1986 · 05-31-2007, 06:18 PM

Back double bi, about 1 year ago one of my buddies from another forum posted his, and to this day Its the only bb pose I wanna recreate.

Something about it just says "yeah I workout sometimes."

I dunno, to someone with no familiarity with BB it would be almost surreal I figure, seeing so many muscles they didnt even know exsisted and all.
