    Posing in the gym: right or wrong? (especially for people who want to be serious bodybuilders and not the 15 year olds who wanna look "swole")

    I don't care if you decide to go to the mirror and flex for Facebook(I'll still think you're a nob) but I don't care. Stripping down to your boxers and turning them into speedos is just weird IMO. Go to the changing room.

    Way wrong, if they wanna pose do it at home. I suppose it frees up machines though. :-)

    Arnold said its best to pose while you still have a pump though.

    If you're not impinging on anyone else, knock yourself out. No one will/should care.

    But I can see how some skinnier guys would almost get offended. And women always think that you're doing it just for them. Very annoying.

    No one should give a ****, if your in the middle of a killer chest session and ypur chest is bursting out of your top and ya want a look then go for it! Nothing worse than judgemental people in the gym, we are all there for the same thing at the end of the day

    It's ok for Arnold to pose, he earned it, but not the rest of us. Keep your abs under your t-shirt, shut up, workout and go home and show your wife.

    If you're training for bodybuilding, it's part of your training. I don't see why it's a problem if you're not getting in the way of anyone else's workout.

    But you're getting annoyed by how you think it will be perceived.

    Would bodybuilders not require specific posing practice - i.e. one session a week would be posing technique?

    I suppose if you're a body builder is a major part of what you do. Why not?
