Title: What is the starngest pose ever asked of you in a prejudging....
Post by: Moosejay on April 20, 2008, 04:31:49 PM
....by the judging panel?

In a teenage show in or around 1980, my class was asked to perform a 'gooseneck' pose....I admit I had to look at the guys to either side of me to see what it was...no one else knew.

the HJ had to clarify and ask for a 'victory' pose...kindof like the one Yorton used to do...accentuates forearms.

Anyway...anyone else asked to do any off-the-board poses?

The rear glutes was a strange one.  We were told to pull down our posing trunks and flex the glutes.

Originated by George Hackenschmidt....who also invented the 'Hack' squat apparatus (little history for y'all...)

With both fists behind the hips, just above the glutes....kinda like a hands-on-hips MM? Very rare but have seen/done that if so...

Years ago before they banned it, the judges would ask for a "moon" pose.....basically turn you back and bend over to show the hamstrings!!!!!

The worst is when a guy named CF Smith turned his back to the audiance pulled down his trunks and bent over during I think it was the 75' Mr. America, he used to train at Pearls with us....talk about a crazy MF'er!

Haha...I remember CF...he was an MD, right? Nutty guy...super ripped with a shitty diet despite the great shape he'd get in...


The late Stan Smith, top natural guy in CT for many years...was unhappy with his placing in the late 70's early 80's...so much so that he took his trophy, whipped it at the judges table, yanked his trunks down, turned his ass to the audience, slapped his ass and screamed , "Y'all can bite me!!!"...and stomped off.

For the next Mr. Getbig, 2 of the required poses should be the snake pose and Vince Goodrum's "stealth" pose.

Jesus Christ, I never knew that pose was actually called for.  If this isn't proof that bodybuilding is 100% orchestrated by fag.gots then I don't know what is.

Well, actually, even before it was banned, I'd never seen it asked for in a prejudging. I do recall officials telling us not to do it in free routines

Wasn't CF's theory that you could eat anything you wanted...ice cream, hot dogs, pizza and as long as you kept your calories at 1,500 or lower you'd get cut?

The Crab Pose was another great call.It's just a shame the Fukin Judges never trained may have put competing in a better perspective for them.

yeah...he avered something like that....recall reading an article where he was eating two burgers, fries, washed down with coke pre-show

And just to clarify, I'm pretty sure CF was from Tennesee...or somewhere in the south.

Wonder if he still practices medicine...must be in his 60's now.

He was a contemporary of Clint Beyerle, a chiropractor with extreme vascularity...
