I've done some research about how flexing in the mirror helps out the physique and is considered a form of exercise. I definitely agree and I flex about 10 to 15 min a day to get the blood flowing throughout the body. I wanted to ask my fellow bodybuilders for their expert opinion on this subject and what is there take on this subject. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FLEX AND THE MUSCLES.     | ||

Rich, It's called Isometric training and I do it after my last working set, great way to increase fullness of the muscle belly is muscle against muscle flexing and contraction.

definetly a must if there is a competition coming up close. Posing as a form of isometrics will give you more defintion and help with the very key elements: vacularity and muscle separation. Plus it's a whole lot of fun. Me and my workout bros usually posedown after a workout for like 5 minutes. | ||

I love how the day after a hard workout you try to flex and it hurts so much that you can't really flex all the way. I feel that alot with biceps and currently feel that in my quads, its the greatest feeling, although painful. | ||

I know what you mean valdez. My calves tend to lock up on me or something. I've been doing a bit more runing and when I do seated calf raises they lock up. | ||

Flex your tricep when you cross a mirror! LOL!! Thank God I'm not the only one!! Seriously though, I DO like to do some serious flexing on chest day. It feels like a good way to get to the very inner part of the pecs. It also just plain ol' feels good, physically AND mentally! | ||

Isn't great to have mirrors at the gym. C'mon fellas, little posing in front of the mirror after an intense chest or bicep workout doesn't hurt. Just a thought to throw out there on this message board. Hey what the hell the girls love it? Flexing always , FlexRich. |
