I agree, posing for mandatories should not be hard if you are at a level to compete seriously, now a good posing routine is different.............
Dillet could have had some awesome posing routines.
The problem was everyone was trying to get him to do fancy bob paris type moves which are a waste on him.
He needed to identify about 10-12 good poses for himself.
He could do a simple 2 full rotation routine the way Lee Haney did for 10 years+. ie. start with 2 front poses, rotate to the left and do 2 side poses, rotate to the left (now back to the stage) and do 2 poses, rotate to the left again and do 2 poses, rotate back to facing audience and do 2 poses. Second rotation would probably only comprise one strong pose in each of the 4 angles and then finish with a most muscular.
Maximum 2 minute routine. Leave the audience wanting more (how many guys overstay their welcome? yates always had the shortest routines)
He shouldn't do ANY kneeling or semi-kneeling poses at all. He is too tall to pull them off plus he has great legs so why bother.
step 1 would be to master the poses WITHOUT using a mirror only video.
step 2 would be to work on the transitions of which he is pretty bad.
Haney and Arnold were GREAT at transitions. Arnold was probably the best IMO. He never went from an arms down pose to another arms down pose without a full sweep of the arms to create the effect of more movement. How many guys do you see doing a most muscular but not doing a full sweep of the arms the way shawn ray did? most and it looks shit. Get those arms moving around more and then BAM hit the pose with force...
