Overview
Crab pose. Hands clasped or fists together at solar plexus, arms forward, traps and chest crunched, neck not visible behind the trapezius mass.
Primary muscles
whole-body crunch — traps, deltoids, pectorals, lats, biceps, abs, quadriceps
What judges look for
Total density. Trap-to-deltoid sweep, pec line, ab visibility under contraction. The single most decisive pose for the overall placement at this level.
Common deductions
- traps not engaged
- incomplete chest crunch
- lacking mass / overall density
