[macDbol]

i do,,late at night...otherwise during the prime time or mornings you're bound to see a old naked guy walk around with his balls down to his knees

We have one fat kid who is always flexing in the mirror next to girls, it is pitiful. But yes once in awhile when I have a good pump going I hit a shot or two. WTF

Most folks at the gym think Im concieted for posing, but its one of the best additions to your workout. I love hitting poses after sets. Not to admire my big beautiful muscles, but to add to my workout by contracting the piss out of the muscle Im working.

I wish everyone did it so I wouldnt look like a concieted ass!!! If people could only hear what im thinking:

"I need to work on my bi's more, my chest is too small, my waist and ass are too big, etc"

They probably think Im telling myself how buff I am.

Are you male or female?

Not a flame, just never saw a female pose before... in my gym at least...

 

[frorider6]

about once a week, I'll weigh myself on the scale at the gym. Full length mirror nearby. If no one is around, I'll bust out a couple of poses.

I agree with you man...I just started showing some real results and I find it hard not to flex. It's really not to admire but to watch the progress and just like GearSeeker....I'm just complaining about everything that is too small...which is pretty much everything. Well, except for the pipeworks-ahem.

the oak actually recommends that you pose/flex between sets for seperation and to work the muscle fibers that havnet been worked, i just do it when noone is looking

 

[curl45]

I think if you got the muscle, flex away. (In the locker room that is.) I don't mind seeing people flex every once in awhile in the gym area, but these guys who spend more time flexing then they do lifting get on my nerves.
Also, the guys who either have no muscle, or have so much fat you can't see the muscle have no business flexing in the mirrors. Its a pathetic site to see that.

 

[natasan]

are there other reasons for the mirrors?

Ya....I don't think they put mirrors in gyms so you can look at yourself flexing.
They're there so you can watch yourself while your lifting to ensure good form, and to watch your muscles work.

AMEN!.. I love posing in b/t sets, not because I'm a conceited ass...but it fills the muscle up w/that much more blood..thus getting a better pump. It also helps you know where you stand when you're dieting down for competition. I usually try NOT TO pose in front of the prettier women though..

 

[BigJay81]

Sure it help give the muscle definition, hardness, and it prepares you for shows!!!

 

[MaxBiceps]

I pose only when I'm by myself, or for my girlfriend. I'm too self conscious
about my bodyfat to pose in front of people just yet.

I'm that way also though too some of the time.

 

[Teufel]

I can't help but do it when I am pumped!!!! Gotdam I Love that feeling!!!11

 

[latinmuscle]

I have to confess that I am guilty of posing. Especially when I'm alone in the change room.

When im doing high rep sets, i always hit a few poses right after i hit failure-it makes it a little harder. Its also a good time to see your new growth! The only time i feel stupid posing in teh gym is when there is a dude that looks much better/bigger there-i just know what hes thinking if he sees me " Haha, he thinks hes big!"
Even though i dont flex for any other gym goers benefit but mine, it's fun to draw stares after a sick pump!

 

[Christianlifter]

To each their own is my take. I dont do it in the gym personally but I have in the dressing room (just a little). People that do it in the gym dont bother me though, its all good.



God Bless

I do think that some people mistake flexing for posing.

After each good heavy set, I flex the particular body part, followed by a good stretch and again a flex. This helps the blood flow and completes the contraction of the muscle.

I save most of my "real" posing for the lady, if you know what I mean.

Flexing your muscle after a set, and posing are different. I flex the muscles I work after my
set all the time. I don't pose though.
