Ian came to me two weeks out from his first ever competition (cutting it close am I right?). Ian had somewhat of an understanding of what his poses should look like but in practice, he needed a lot of help.

Let's take a look at his side chest (left). As you can see Ian is overextended in the abdomen, is lacking sufficient rotation and has a severe anterior pelvic tilt. By applying the methods taught in the J3U Precision Posing Course we were able to adjust Ian’s side chest in no time at all. More importantly we were able to take a pose that was severely lacking and elevate it to become one of his better poses.

Here is what Ian had to say, “At two weeks out I was pretty brain dead. Daniel’s methods and teaching style allowed me to easily digest the cues and instruction that he gave me. My side chest was a pose I was very concerned with initially and thanks to him, I was able to hit it with confidence on the stage.”

Jabe is a seasoned competitor in the classic physique division. I actually competed with Jabe back in 2022. This is Jabe at 13 weeks out from Nationals. Although Jabe is incredibly experienced and has placed very well in previous shows, he had never been exposed to the techniques taught within the J3U Precision Posing Course.

Here we have a side-by-side of Jabe’s rear relaxed pose. In the left image Jabe’s shoulders are rolled forward and his neck is flexed. This flattens out all of his upper back musculature, makes him lose density and just all together smooths him out.

Once we applied the necessary adjustments to Jabe’s rear relaxed such as having him stand tall with his chin and chest up and head back we were able to elevate Jabe’s rear relaxed and make it a respectable pose. Here is what Jabe had to say about his experience going through the curriculum found in the J3U Precision Posing Course.

“I thought I had a pretty good handle on posing. In the past I had placed well in shows and didn’t really see the need to invest in an outsider's perspective, other than my coach, when it came to posing. However, after learning from Daniel and witnessing the visible changes in this pose alone, I was sold on the teaching methods that Daniel has.”

Let’s take a look at Patricks side relaxed pose. As you can see, this shot is all jacked up! His knees are bent, his hips are back and his abdomen is extended.

Now look at Patrick’s side relaxed after applying the methods taught in the J3U Precision Posing course. This wasn’t overnight, you can obviously see the changes in body composition certainly helped in this case, but if you pay attention to his alignment and positioning the pose is vastly improved.

"I can't express how grateful I am for Daniel and his instruction. He is able to take a complicated topic like biomechanics and make it easy to understand and better yet, apply!

When I started with him, I felt like a baby deer. My hips were always off and I could never get my abs to pop.

Thanks to his step by step instruction, Daniel helped me to conceptualize what each pose is aiming to accomplish which eventually helped make the whole process easier.

I couldn't be happier with my decision."
