[NSW/VIC/QLD/WA/SA] Free Bodybuilding Posing Workshops

1080

I'm not expecting this deal to be very popular. But it's a freebie I wish someone had posted when I was looking for it, so I'm sharing it here.

Posing coaching with a private instructor can be expensive. These workshops are free and are held by the organisers, professional athletes and actual judges of the shows. They typically cover men's and women's divisions including bodybuilding, classic physique, physique, figure, fitness and bikini. All are welcome including non-competitors. Good for anyone curious about bodybuilding and/or how to pose correctly. The muscle control, isolation and coordination of posing are beneficial to muscular development even if you don't care for the display of your physique.

The dates are usually a few weeks before shows held by the organisers. I will update the list as more details are confirmed.

    Finally!

    is planking one of the categories? best selfie?

    • +2

      Not sure. But you could work it into your most muscular or free posing routine.

      Actually, it'd probably make a pretty good pose for a fitness routine.

  • +6

    I have a keg rather than a six pack ,
    is there a senior's category?

  • So you went the muscle way.

  • +21

    Upvoting cause I'd love to see a bunch of overweight OzBargainers turn up for this.

    • +2

      What have I done!?

      I didn't expect this to be popular. Hopefully it won't make it to the front page…

        Hopefully it won't make it to the front page…

        Crap!

      Was nothing to do with previous comment.
      Edited my joke.

      This is why I don't text women , much.

      Photos .???…
      You can pm me , that's fine.

      • +2

        This is an obvious joke ,
        for the undeniably politically correct a-holes.

        • +3

          Maybe if all your jokes are poorly received it's the jokes that are bad rather than the audience…

  • +12

    There's nothing quite as soothing as posing in front of a mirror with a bunch of other dudes.

    • And bikini babes and fitness chicks!

      • +2

        Chicks with more muscles than most blokes does nothing for me. Most of them look like men too

        • +3

          OK but most attractive women exercise.

          • +3

            @Diji1: Except it is well known that female body building and testosterone supplementation go hand in hand.

            Their facial features change, their jaw line, facial hair, smell, how they walk, other things grow..

            Big difference between exercise & female body building

            • -3

              @stickymoo: Except most don't.
              Wishful thinking??
              , tell us more.?…

            • +1

              @stickymoo: Female bodybuilding was dropped from the Olympia in 2015 and has all but died since then.

              I can only admire their effort, dedication, consistency, perseverance and courage to invest so much into the sport they love. They are the extreme end of women's bodybuilding (which encompasses several categories) and they follow their pursuit for passion, not to appear attractive to anyone.

              • -3

                @Scrooge McDuck: Oh ok.

                I didn’t realise you knew the reason behind why every female that participates in bodybuilding does.

                Apologies 🙏🏽

                It appears female body building is stronger now than ever if you ask me

        • Chicks with more muscles than most blokes does nothing for me. Most of them look like men too

          I'm sure you'd do nothing for them too!

            @Scrooge McDuck: Those girls are jacked

            It is not sexy 😖

            • +2

              @stickymoo: They don't do it for you to find them sexy, they do it for their own personal development and passion.

              It's the same with male bodybuilders. Most chicks don't even like huge muscles; only fitness chicks, beach babes, bimbos, party girls and Arab or Mediterranean girls. The others complain that your body is too hot and hard, your arms are too big and heavy to put around them, your chest is too high and hard to lie on, you're too wide to sit next to them, etc.

  • Jv, did you register for the bikini posing division

  • Is there an entrance examination?

    • +1

      No, but there's an exit examination.

    • Jeebus ,
      That's way too explicit an explanation…

      Tell me more ?

    • +1

      Did you mean "entrants examination"?

    • +1

      Depends how skimpy your costume is.

  • +2

    OP do you compete. If you do let us know when is ur next competition and we might come to cheer you up

    • +5

      Cheer me up or cheer me on?

      • +4

        Are there any available spots to help you apply tanning cream? Asking for a friend.

        • Sure, I can't reach most of the spots on my rear.

        • Ok ,
          That was funny.

      • Both - cheer you on, then cheer you up ;)

  • +3

    Came for the comments 🍿

    • +7

      That was quick

    This deal made me think of this.

    • The Conchords are super talented. Fashion is danger!

      • Is this comment funny .. explain?

        • No, not funny. They are, but my comment wasn't.

          • @strangeloops66: Explain why they are funny.
            I laugh but I don't know why.

            I think it has something to do with when sarcasm enters a black hole and bounces back ,
            Creating a dumbass vortex.

            I have had the privilege of naming this affect a ' trump '.
            Or in boganish a
            'Scott no friends'.

            • +1

              @[Deactivated]: When sarcasm passes the event horizon, it cannot bounce back…although according to quantum mechanics, the sarcasm is not lost forever. I'm not familiar with dumbass vortices, but expect that I may have been in one all my lives.

    OP it's funny that i first see these dates on OzBargain. I compete in Classic Physique and these workshops are great (even if I do have a posing coach in my prep). Have done one of these before and will be doing the Qld one - although Im not competing in Arnolds/Qualifiers (I'm bulking and probably competing in the Amateur Olympia in Vegas in September or otherwise nationals/state qualifiers in Season B).

    • Awesome! Are you planning anything else in Vegas?

      I'd love to check out the WSOP, tour around the West Coast and Mid-West on a Fat Boy and finish back in Vegas with the Olympia.

      I'm also summer bulking after I got sick during winter. IDGAF and go to the beach looking soft, still bigger than most of the dudes there. ^_^

      • I am going to watch Olympia, which is why I thought I may as well. Ompete in the amateurs a few days before.

    Hi this is Arnold. Your instructor 😏😏😏

    Thanks OP. Have been waiting 9 years for this deal.

    Bought 7.

    I'm off to maccas

    • Gotta hit your macros!

  • Ah, Scrooge. The ultimate troll.

    • +3

      I'm going to bookmark this comment under "Appreciative replies".

  • +2

    vaseline on the teeth for that shiny smile?

    • +1

      You did pageants as a kid too?

  • +2

    Not my thing, but I understand that people pay good money for coaching and preparation for IFBB events.

    • Yep. For 3 - 6 months out.

      Nutrition/ diet plans, A coach that oversees the whole process, multiple personal trainers, gym membership, classes, supplements & replacement therapies.

      Then the tanning, hair & make-up for the event. Plus the outfits which are expensive.

      The expense of the event itself

      spending good money on waxing or laser hair removal as well. Females most likely are also doing Botox, cosmetic tattooing etc.

      most serious female contestants end up with breast implants.

      That’s a serious investment in time & money. With permanent consequences

    Apparently they won't allow me to juice up before the posing workshop as I might be unstable and passout. Neging cause of prejudice towards natural supplements.

    • +1

      Good point

  • Will this teach me the floss?

  • +1

    It sick, it piss, it revolting, it insulting.

  • Anything for Tasmania please?

    • +2

      Sorry never seen one. Was going to title the deal [All States], then remembered you guys!

      • +1

        Never seen any either.

        INBA put on posing workshops in Qld every weekend in comp season. Although I personally wouldn't go to them ;)

        WBFF usually have one at Empire Fitness Centre in the Gold Coast prior to the GC comps. I think they do one in Sydney prior to the Sydney comp.

        • Thanks mate. Shoot me a PM if you come across the details.

      • Thanks mate think it's due to pro league not being here. We used to have INBA but now only ICN instead

        • I reckon if you got enough interest and messaged Tony Doherty you could probably get one organised. The trouble is, having enough numbers.

  • +4

    I have nice calves, on my farm.
    And got strong traps, for the rats.
    Powerful quads, to mow the lawn on.
    Sweet hammies, to relax on.
    A solid chest, for the toys.

  • lol someone beat me to posting the Arnold song XD
