Work on more of a slight twist when hitting side shots. Ideally, having your lower half slightly facing the rear of the stage, and your upper half slightly facing the front of the stage (the judges) will create a very dramatic effect by making your waist look smaller, and your torso look wider.
Check many of Arnold’s old poses and you’ll see how he always twisted to make the most of the differential created.

x2. While Arnold did not have a particularly blocky midsection, he wasn’t exactly wasp-waisted either. Yet he knew how to combine a slight hip twist, along with just the right amount of vacuum, to create the illusion of having a really small waist. Further, he would create a perfect line from his obliques up through his lats that produced a beautiful ‘sweep’ to his torso. For example:

Here ya go. These pics dont do it justice but omg that was the best food i ever had and i forgot to take a pic of the boneless wings.
Seriously had a good pump for an hour at least lol
It really is amazing how carbs affect your mood. i went from major dickhead to i love everybody right after that meal.
haha, nice, looks awesome. As I sit here munching a tupperware box of chicken, rice and brazil nuts, I can’t help but feel a little jealous.
Did Shelby give you any guidelines or was it allowed to be anything you want?

Yeah his words were to have a burger and fries with a dessert in place of your last meal. He told me to make it a normal meal and not binge. Id say i did pretty good but i did get extra patties on the burger and a few extra fries but thats pretty normal for me right?! It was definitely satisfying and im ready to kill it tomorrow.
And dont worry ill be right there with ya on the food tomorrow. Back to my basically non existent carb diet And i aint even mad about it…yet. Lol
