Most Muscular

The most muscular is a common bodybuilding pose, often used to highlight as much of a contestant's muscle repertoire as possible by demonstrating the maximum mass of muscle to the judging panel. A few variants including the crab, hands clasped, and hands on the waist are the most popular.
