Half way into the competition season we would like to ask for a few minutes of your time to go over how to have our trunks shape your physique and show it off in it’s best light.
Step 1. Choose the correct trunk size, cut and colour for you.
Visit our website www.posingtrunk.com where we have a variety of colours and styles for you to chose from. Choosing your trunk colour is a personal choice and preference. We have a wide range or colours and designs to choose from, and are always adding more. Every year there seems to be new colour trends. Last year orange was one of the most popular.
Tip on colour choice: When you are deciding what competition to enter, take a quick look at the stage and see what colours the stage backdrop is. Wearing a colour different to the back drop ensures you’ll stand out on stage.
Our size guide is as follows:
Small 28” – 30” / 71cm – 76cm
Medium 30” – 32” / 76cm – 81cm
Large 32” – 34” / 81cm – 86.5cm
X-Large 34” – 36” / 86.5cm – 91cm
Step 2. Now it’s time to select your cut.
We have 2 different models available:
Iron Eagle Premier – The Premier Pro cut reveals the ultimate V taper, hits extra high up on your hips revealing those deep quad cuts. A super narrow cut back with a scrunch elastic to pronounce your glutes even more and reveal glute striations, pouch type front with centre seam and ultra thin side straps. Fully lined on the front. Recommended for advanced/pro competitors.
Iron Eagle Flex – The Flex cut has a more conservative cut for athletes who require a more conservative look with a bit more cover on front and back. The Flex cut is fully lined on the front, has a 3/4 cut back with scrunch elastic to pronounce your glutes. It has a centre seam on the front and sleek side straps for a comfortable fit. Recommended for novice and intermediate competitors.
So now you’ve chosen your size, colour & cut, it’s time to put them on correctly.
Step 3. “The centre seam.” The correct fit begins with the centre seam. Make sure the centre seam is centred between your legs and aligned properly and slide the trunks up.
Step 4. “Pull Those Lateral Straps Up.” Once the trunks are on, double check your centre seam then grab both side straps and pull them over your hip bone just under your oblique muscle. There is a groove called the pelvic groove and it fits the straps of the trunks perfectly. See the arrows on the pictures below (*if the side laterals will not stay over your hips then it is most likely there is excess trunk material on the back side. Correct by bringing the pouch higher up in the front.)
Step 5. “Seam & Fabric Check.” In the process of Step 4 you most likely felt the trunks have shifted on the backside, now align the fabric on the backside where you would like your trunks to sit and tuck the rest of the material in between your glutes so there is no material bunched on your outer glutes. The scrunch elastic will make sure that the excess material aligns correctly. Before making any adjustments, make sure the side laterals are positioned correctly. The trunks are not meant to cover your glutes entirely.
Additional Tips:
1. When choosing your size, please remember that posing trunks are designed to fit snug and almost tight on your body. There should be minimal loose or additional fabric on the front or back that bunches or hangs. (They should not be as lose as undergarments.)
2. Several professionals will size down on the sizing chart for a more snug fit which reveals maximum glutes striations.
3. The snug fit may be slightly uncomfortable and take some getting used to when wearing them properly. However, it will visually reduce the size of your waist and make all your hard work shine. You want to restrict as much movement in the pouch as possible so there is no attention taken away from your physique. Please bear in mind that excess pouch room will look very unflattering on stage.
Here you can see the front straps aligned correctly within the pelvic groove and the back material adjusted correctly. Jonny is wearing a Premier Cut in Size L
