Dcifrths Vs. El Diablo... a POSE OFF

[DcifrThs]

so i was propositioned (not the good kind) the other week by el diablo. he declared a pose off for bankrolls.

he says his arms are like "taut steel cables" and will "win shoulders hands down."

i am of a smaller frame but my definition in chest/ab area is quite good. further, i am swimming (breast stroke) every day while he is running and lifting. i can do 24 straight laps of breast stroke varying between good pace and all out and it takes me about 30 mins...i then do 2 laps of freestyle w/ a break in between of about 30 seconds.

i can do between 10-20 pull ups palms facing out depending on when during the day i do them (before or after swimming...swimming is exhausting)

diablo runs 4.2 miles/day and can play soccer.

we CANNOT agree on a method of scoring. i.e. he wants JUST arms. i said, fine do just abs...he said he is not a prissy girl (implying abs are to be treated thusly)

so we are at a standstill.

i now turn to OOT for guidance.

id like a ranking and scoring of body parts for a POSE OFF!

i.e. it'd look something like this:

score 10 points, highest point total wins.

Arms: 3 points
Abs: 3 points
Shoulders: 1 point
Chest: 2 points
Thighs: 1 poing

that is just an example i pulled off the top of my head.

so help me out.

All,

My counter proposal to Dcifr was that we can do it by whatever standards he wants as long as prior to the poseoff we do a five round fight.

i of course cannot do that b/c i can barely walk even w/ my insoles due to my foot injury.

bone scans can be supplied for proof.

i may be forgetting body parts. your chest may not be as good as you think, although it still may win. i think abs are hugely important and should probably rankt hem higher. they are the toughest thing to get good definition in and by the time we have a pose off i'll likely have an 8 pack...which will also make my chest look damn good...further, are arms ranked by size (pythons or whatever) or by cutness/definition..or some combo therein?

Barron,

As I've said before I think you indeed rule pretty hard. However El Diablo rules all and cannot be defeated, this cannot end well for you.

save your bankroll.

The contest will be judged based on five rounds, with each round being an equal 20% of the score. The athlete with the lowest score after five rounds is the winner.

How Will Scoring Work?

SCORE #1
ROUND 1 - Symmetry & Aesthetics - 20%

What the judges are looking for:
The judges are looking for overall symmetry, aesthetics, balance and proportion. There should be a "V" taper from the shoulders to the waist. The stomach region should be muscular yet small and tight from all angles.

From the front, the thighs should have an outer sweep and the calves should show an inner muscle belly. There skin should show an overall tightness from all angles.

Muscularity and size should be taken into account in this round, but the overall aesthetic look of the body should take precedence.

Procedure:
In this round the athlete is viewed and compared from four sides, (quarter poses front, right side, back, left side), in the semi relaxed position. In all four positions knees are to be locked, feet are to be no more than 2 inches apart, and there is to be no twisting of the upper torso.

The athletes will come out in groups of no more than ten at a time to do the quarter poses as a group, and then compared 2 or 3 at a time. When all the judges are satisfied, athletes are placed, score sheets marked and given to the head judge.


SCORE #2
ROUND 2 - Muscularity in the Seven Compulsory Poses - 20%

What the judges are looking for:
The judges are looking for size, muscularity, definition and separation based just upon the seven compulsory poses.

Procedure:
The athletes will be judged in the seven compulsory poses: A. Front Double Biceps B. Front Lat Spread C. Side Chest D. Rear Double Bicep E. Rear Lat Spread F. Front Abdominal & Thighs G. Front Most Muscular Crab

The athletes will come out and do the seven compulsory poses individually (when there are more than 20 athletes in a competition, the athletes will be brought out 2 at a time), then be brought out and compared in groups of 2, 3 or 4.


SCORE #3
ROUND 3A - Free Posing - 20%

What the judges are looking for:
The judges are judging the overall physique on all points (aesthetics, muscularity, size, balance, proportion, and symmetry) but only what the athlete shows them. If an athlete hides his weak points, it is to his advantage and the judge will base the score on what is presented. This score is based solely on the body, not presentation.

Procedure:
Each athlete presents his body as he wants it to be seen, choreographed to music for approximately three minutes. . If he has weak points on his physique or weak poses, he is not required to do them He is to present his body to his best advantage to the judges.


SCORE #4
ROUND 3B - Entertainment Quality - 20%

What the judges are looking for:
The judges will be giving a second score solely on the entertainment value of the posing routine. Props and special effects can be used, but the athlete must remember that if the body is covered too much or for too long, or if the effects prevent the adequate presentation of the body in the judge's mind, it could effect the score in round 3A.


SCORE #5
ROUND 4 - Final Posedown - 20%

What the judges are looking for:
This is the judge's final chance to assess the athlete's physique. The judges are first looking at the physique as a whole, then breaking it down to symmetry, aesthetics, muscularity, size, balance and proportion.

Procedure:
The top six will come out as a group in numerical order. The judges can ask the head judge for repositioning of the athletes if necessary to aid in the judging. Athletes will first do quarter turns as a group, then the seven compulsory poses as a group. The head judge will then order the athletes to "pose down" and the athletes will break into free posing of their choice to out do the other athletes on stage.
