Suggestions for posing routine music Please

Rissole · 06-08-2003, 10:29 PM

I been bustin my brain to find some kickass music to pose to come Sept.

I've cut up some POD tracks and Lincon park somewhere i belong and i'm still not 100% sold on any of them.

Any suggestions would be great, No ballads, and im not posin to "Hard knock life". I want something heavy

Thanks guys

J'Bo · 06-08-2003, 10:33 PM

my suggestions are:
no superman theme
no hard rock crap
no rocky theme

pick something you like and that suits your best poses

Rissole · 06-08-2003, 10:36 PM

Well now i gotta start allll over, i was really leaning toward the superman theme, and eye of the tiger was my backup

Pffft...

give me some credit girl

how original ris

i dont know about your fed. but in ours the routines dont even get marked....have fun with it and show your sense of humor.
the judges will love it....i think you need to go with the simpsons theme song..

You have to choose music that inspires YOU, that is the key to picking a good posing song.

Disturbed = The Game
Fear Factory = Edge Crusher
Pantera = Walk
Metallica = Hit the Lights or Battery
Maralyn Manson = This is the New Shit
anything by Demon Hunter
Stone Sour = Get Inside

gotta think more, but it's a good start. The new manson i think would be really cool that's on both the Matrix Reloaded sountrack and his new cd

My trainer and his wife (MissOz) judge sometimes, he said in the last comp he judged he had a guy in first place and then put him down to 4th cause his routine sucked. So it does count.
Like Prince said though i need the music thats gonna inspire me to pose well. Da 'ambiance'

Thank you Dvlmn. I'll down load those and have a listen.

Hit the lights = a bit fast
Battery = fast too

Wagner (pronounced Vogner) Ride of the Valkyries. for example is powerful music and goes well with a powerful explosive routine.
If you find your more of a lean sleek look, I'd go with a more artsy fartsy routine with a flowing music. Rent or buy pumping Iron and watch the best poser ever to grace a stage Ed Corney pose. His routine would look fucking stupid to an AC/DC tune or even my Wagner pick above. Yet to a song that flows such as "Take my Breath away" from Berlin (see movie TopGun for song) it would give you goose bumps to watch. Arnold would have fared very well to Valkyries.
You need to pick a song that goes with your body type and posing routine and skill.
I for example tried to emulate that of Ed Corney and I did in fact use the song from BERLIN and it worked beautifully for me.
I leave you with one last thought. bodybuilding is showing the human physic as a work of art and deserves artful music to show it off not some shit head banging music. This is my opinion.

I know I'm following my own post but you asked a question about my absolute favorite aspect of competition. The posing routine. I enjoyed training others and preparing their routines better then competing myself. I worked with Rich Gaspari here at Golds gym in Princeton on his posing routine for the Mr. Olympia (he was also my training partner). As I told him and countless others, your poses need to flow into one another and your music also needs to be flewant. You want music that is not too fast so it gives you time to hold a each pose before the tune leads you to your next movement. You want to pick a song that has changes in tempo and small exposive sections so you can hit more explosive movements and periods of lower keyed sound for the basic poses. Movements from one pose to the next should appear to be an extension of the previous pose. Meaning not going from a most muscular to a front double bi. Doing so your moving your hands from one direction all the way to the opposite. It's hard to explain here without demonstrating. Any questions feel free to PM me or ask here. I'll look in tomorrow.

Try not to take foot steps during a pose but to pivot on the balls of your feet. When you take a step your leg stops flexing during the lift and the next foot placement. Pivoting allows you to keep the consistent flex. It also looks much sharper like a statue coming to life. If you have to move your foot, slide it smoothly to your next foot position. Avoid bouncy and choppy movements.

Rissole · 06-09-2003, 01:37 AM

Yeah i wasnt thinkin of takin too many steps, it's my first routine eva so its gonna be very basic i think

firestorm · 06-09-2003, 01:39 AM

Facial expressions should be dictated by the music you choose. If you pick an up beat music you should be smiling and looking like your having fun. If you pick my favorite type, a more classical or soft sound music you should look stowic and without smiles to the crowd. You don't even look at the crowd. You become a dramatic actor up there pure and simple. I still consider this style to be a sure winner.

My suggestion is seriously to rent videos such as Pumping Iron and watch Ed Corney or see if there is anything out there featuring Frank Zane. They were 2 of the best in the business. Ed still number 1 though in my book. I've watched countless routines of his and they are pure artwork.

Wish I could work with you Ris it would a blast for me.

kuso · 06-09-2003, 01:55 AM

Get on Kazaa and download a song called MUSIC from a band called Rize....it rocks!!

Rissole · 06-09-2003, 01:55 AM

Mate i need all the help i can get at the moment

It would be great!! My trainer is world Natural champ, but its hard to get him with some time... he's a PT so he's always with a client (im not a client, we're mates)
I think i'd do ok on stage, i've been in a few plays and am a bit of an actor... go figure.... :d
Fuck another beer would be good

Rissole · 06-09-2003, 01:56 AM

Rissole · 06-09-2003, 01:58 AM
