What is your favorite pose (flex)? (522 total votes)
To me too, that was the main competition. I think the rear double bi sometimes shows the bicep more effectively, but the front double bi pose is the grand daddy of poses.
The FDB is so classic it almost goes without saying, but I tend to prefer the BDB because you can see more muscles being flexed, as in, you get the whole arms + the whole back (while doing it in posing gear) + the glutes. And also, the "squeezed" look of the delts gives such an image of intensity sometimes it tops the FDB.
I like how aggressive the crab pose is.
Ironically, I see more TikTok girls do it than actual bodybuilders. I wonder why.
In the debate over front or rear biceps, I prefer front over rear mainly because I can see the woman's face. It really doesn't matter if she's beautiful, pretty, plain or homely; the face gives me something to relate to the woman as a person and not just as a body. Of course, seeing the pecs, abs and other frontal development are also important.
I also love the rear double biceps shots because they usually show the back and shoulders development, which can be quite stunning. But the rear shots also can be disappointing. Many times when a woman has remarkable peaks from the front, the peaking looks diminished when seen from the rear. Whether it's because of the angle of the photo, the woman's flexing style or her anatomy, I don't know.
I don't even know what to call it, but there is something about this pose that I have always really loved.
This pic of gymnast Halli Mayberry just reminded me. This pose conveys power, grace, and beauty, and I love it.
I wish more girls would do it. :)

Front biceps poses are better because the muscle lies along the front of the humerus bone which means you can see it's full height only from in front. Also, while some women have equally good peaks from the rear, many do not. One woman I met had the most beautiful, peaked and split biceps from the front that looked almost flat from in back. I think her front biceps head was short and peaked and the rear head long and flatter, accounting for the split and the fact that I ALWAYS wanted her to flex from the front. Also, for some reason, features like cuts/ indentations normally are in front.
removed "Poll" from the title as it's now redundant
Basing this off of mandatory bodybuilding poses at pro-level competition. I did add one or two that aren't considered mandatory, but are still typically seen during "free posing."
The following are examples only, they are only meant to give the users an idea of what each pose looks like. Imagine your favorite FBB using one of these poses and decide on which one you like most!
