Title: Stop the madness! Make this a required pose for Pro contests.
Post by: dantelis on February 24, 2006, 10:11:50 AM: It's been said before, but the vacuum pose should become a required pose at pro contests. Done like below, by John Defendis and Frank Zane, certainly shows ab, pec, intercostal and lat development. Could be a great way to eliminate pros who abuse GH and get "GH gut".

What the hell does that pose have to do with muscularity? It shows nothing besides that you can suck a lot of air into your lungs and pull your abs in..
If they are going to add any poses they should add aesthetic poses like twisting back double, side bicep shit like that so that it shows of an aesthetic physique, not retarded shit like sucking your stomach in

I would say it shows off the serratus at its best......and if you don't have some serious "Y" shape going on you're going to look like shit in this pose.

I think the relaxed gut pose should be mandatory. The bigger the gut, the higher the ranking.
Real men have guts.
Only Girly-men have vacuums ;)
