Come on... Mike's posing is his weak point, but he knows what a rear lat spread means.
He and his trainer Vakis, should work on his posing, so he can be at his best on the stage.
i beleive he is ok with the usual words like the names of the poses, but go through ANY of his shows where they are putting the competitors through a final round...the guy is not playing his own game. ALWAYS looking to the guy next to him, side glancing at everyone else, just not at ease on stage. no confidence in what he is doing. there is no sense of "i own his" and it shows. gets too caught up in messing about inbetween it all too. fist pumping inbetween poses and relaxing doing the dexter jackson hands on hips "c'mon whats next" relaxed poses inbetween poses...its stuff the big names can get away with, not him.
summed up with just overall "sloppy posing". confused and uncertain on stage and it is being handed down through the judging table.
his muscle, muscle development and extreme conditioning saves him big time.
throw in perfection posing and show that no one around you matters and you have him top 3.
