That's what I was going for....

I think IMO with Shorty's shape this would be a great look for her.

With the size of your legs I think this one might be an option for leg placement.

Everything is coming in sooo nicely! My couple comments -

I'm not sure how you want to do your side chest - I've always tried to avoid that twist & bend to keep the line across your shoulders straight. Also reduces the squish down on your abs -- up & high, chest out, rotate from the waist shows off a really nice lean waist. IMO anyway.

Rear poses - you said you were working on an alternative to the up on the toes poses -- I woudln't do the rear foot flat on the ground and I woudltn' do it straight back -- I'd put it out to the side & back - same idea as your front poses. I tried to find some good specific examples of this --- here's a couple --

-- look at the women's bb comparison pictures for rear lat & rear dbl bi
-- look at the ALL pictures - in the first 4 pages there are some nice rear poses to look at as well -- its a matter of finding a pose that looks elegant but also allows you to plant your feet well so you dont' tip over.

ok... so which leg position?

Looking great! Very impressive... and you're how many weeks out?!

5 weeks.

just look at the variety of them in the first 4 pages of the ALL VIEWS and the back comparisons on the COMPARISONS... my point is to find something that YOU wear well. The leg straight back is like - too literal. So try something out to the side / back - that gives you good angles to show off the ham / glute tie-in, the hammies, the cuts on the hams and the calves.

aahhh. ok.

you have to talk to me like I'm a child when it comes to this stuff, because I really have no idea wtf I'm doing. lolol if I seem obtuse - it's because I am.

you're right about the side chest pose...some of those wimmins look kinda funny...

Take some pics with your legs in diff rear positions so we can pick one!

Side chest -- dont worry about it - yours is fine.

Rear -- either of the two girls in the middle - the one to the left is too wide & it looks weird - the one to the far right kinda looks like she's taking a squat -- if she set the rear leg out a little further it might look a little better -- but the middle girls are what I'm talking about - also the pic that was attached above.

Again - don't try to mimic exactly -- just see what YOU wear well and what is comfortable.
