. Once you are already well developed and know how specific exercise varia-
tions work for you, you may select or modify your exercises accordingly.. Regardless of whether or not you put aesthetics high on your priority list,
you will probably find an exercise or two that you can, relatively speaking,
do much better at than the other exercises. You will then have the option
of making a natural strength more outstanding. is will let you achieve
something exceptional (both in poundage and development) in that limited
area. Alternatively you could back off in your natural bias(es), to try to get
balance throughout your body. My advice is to make the most of any natural
strength(s) you have. But the final choice is yours.. As explained in Chapter , there is the matter of how lean you are and how
visible your development is. For an appearance-first bodybuilder this is a
major factor.. Finally, remember to pay attention to your posture and gait. How you hold
your body, and walk, has a big bearing on how you present your muscular
development.Exercise selection alone can make the difference between training
success and failure. And even if you are using the best exercises, if
you do not use perfect exercise technique you will get nowhere but
into the quagmire of injuries, frustration and failure. e understanding of good exercise technique is one thing, and
vital in its own right. But being able to practice it yourself is
another matter. Intelligent use of a video camera will help you
to develop good exercise form. See ’ -

instructions on how to use a video camera to increase training
productivity.
