Phil needs to consider changing his front double bicep technique.

I have said that many times before and I actually sent him an email once saying “Please try to hit the FDB Pose while vacuuming your stomach”, but I don’t see him listening to me yet 

I wish to see him please at least 2nd behind Jay Cutler ONLY.

phil actually holds it almost right for a split second before he crunches down - he still needs to inhale more air and hold the elbows farther forward.

the problem with flexing the abs is that you shift your elbows back which takes away from both arm and lat size.

you tell him, champ.

this pose looks way better with a vacuum.

I think he looks better the way he does it, crunching down instaed of lifting up.  Not every bodybuilder can do a "vacuum" I think Melving is the only pro hat can do thta pose of the curent top pros.  For bodybuilders that can do the Vacuum, Haney, Arnold, Ray, etc it looks much better that way.

I agree that very few bodybuilders can do a "true" vacuum today - they simply take too many drugs to be able to.

However, by crunching down with the abs instead of holding them in and lifting the ribcage up, they miss out on showing a their torso size to it's maximum - especially the lats and serratus.

Narrow guys like phil and paco need that width illusion more than anyone.
