1. Posedown

   In bodybuilding and physique, a posedown is a free for all posing round in a bodybuilding or physique competition where the participants strike various poses, highlighting specific muscles and their overall physique. Posedowns are usually the final part of the competition and can often decide a close competition. Some competitors like to keep pre-set routine for the posedown in order to keep the flow going and show off their muscles. There are strategies competitors adopt during posedowns to best dominate or intimidate opponents, such as the forced perspective of posing as massive as possible and covering up other opponents on stage or forcing opponents into another pose, which can throw off their pre-set posing routine. For this reason, some competitors like to go through a spontaneous routine and keep the competition off-guard.From a judging standpoint, the posedown is used for the last comparison between bodybuilders, but they are often not awarded points for each pose. The points awarded for the posedown are based on the judges overall opinion of the competitor. Although not as significant as the points given for the previous rounds, points earned in a posedown can boost a competitor up a place or two. Judges may not give points to a certain competitor for a posedown, but they will remember the bodybuilder in the future and that can be a plus. For the most part, posedowns are part of the show for the audience, which gives them a chance to show off to the crowd, and is the equivalent of a money shot. One of the most common and popular poses during a posedown is the most muscular pose.In International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB) professional competitions, the posedown is part of round 2 of the finals after mandatory posing. The top 6 finalists will engage in a 30 to 60 second free for all posing to music of the competition organizer’s choice. This part of round 2 will not be scored. In National Physique Committee and IFBB amateur competitions, any competitor doing the “Moon Pose” on stage will be disqualified. In most amateur competitions, after the weight-class winners are announced there is a posedown among the winners of each class to determine the overall winner. The weight class winners can't relax because they must do another posedown to win the overall. Heavyweight bodybuilders tend to be favored winners of overall posedowns, but not absolutely guaranteed.
