How Should Posing Trunks Fit? A Guide for Bodybuilders
How should bodybuilding posing trunks fit? Snugness, stretch, coverage and practising your poses: what to check before show day.
How should posing trunks fit?
Snug enough to stay in place through every pose, and never so tight that they dig in.
The fabric should lie smooth against the body with no bagging, and the waistband and leg openings should sit flat without squeezing the skin.
What should I check before show day?
Your federation's rules on cut and coverage, the stretch of the fabric, and how the suit moves in your poses.
- Federation and division rules
- Stretch and recovery of the fabric
- Comfort through a full posing routine
Rules differ between federations. Always confirm with yours.
Why does lycra work for posing wear?
Lycra stretches, holds its shape and moves with the body.
HIS Swim uses lycra imported from France. See our posing wear or message us on WhatsApp with your division and show date.
