Despite the work that one puts into building a shredded body, if one doesn’t nail it during posing, all the hard work might go to waste. Even as many influencers have tips regarding how budding bodybuilders should pose on stage, one might take more notice when a three-time Mr. Olympia winner talks about the same.

Having won the title numerous times in the Men’s Physique category, Brandon Hendrickson, recently divulged an important lesson that might give competitors an edge while getting on stage.

Brandon Hendrickson’s posing advice

Taking to Instagram, Hendrickson posted a video of himself posing in front of the camera. In the caption, he wrote about how much time and effort a bodybuilder should put into building up their potential through precise poses. He penned, “You have to be ready for any situation“, and added that one might have to hold their poses on stage for the judges to test their conditioning.

Moreover, as a guide to direct amateur and aspiring bodybuilders, Hendrickson mentioned how one should practice their poses before a competition. He thus stated, “If you’re not practicing your posing everyday at least 6 weeks out, don’t even waste your time…”

This is not the first time that Hendrickson has advised young bodybuilders who have set out on their journeys. Once he had suggested how bodybuilders should train for themselves to make a difference.

I have seen it so many times guys running their career because they wanna show off in a gym and look crazy amount of weight you notice my weight is not ever crazy.” He thus suggested how one should train for themselves instead of the camera.
