Damn Steve,you`re looking really good bro.......big props!!
On that backshot,just put that leg straight behind you with a slight bend to the knee.........don`t turn it to the side,it twists your whole upperbody and ruins the aesthtetics of the pose and makes it look awkward.
In the side tricep,twist towards the camera just a tad..............abshot,get those elbows pointing straight up............it`ll make your lats pop out more and improve the lines of the pose.
OK,sorry,I sound like Gerry T.......................I`m really impressed by your condition bro.
Once you deplete,carb up just a bit,cut sodium,drop water and get darker,you will look even better.
Stay focused,you`re gonna` do really well. #arockon6ha#

GREAT conditioning bro! Your triceps, biceps and delts are your best feature, for sure. You also have really great quads - make sure to show them at every opportunity!
Some posing tips ... IMHO ...
You're doing a great job with facial expression. You should always be looking like this is the easiest thing in the world for you to be doing, and KNOWING that there isn't anyone on stage with you that can do it as well. Your face shows that in these pics. Keep it up!!
Agree with Tim on the back double biceps. Step back but not out, and don't try to twist the leg.
Also agree on the side triceps twist move. It will give your upper body a wider look and enhace the trim look of your waist, and further highlight your phenomenal triceps/delt development.
In any pose (even/especially relaxed), when you stand straight, plant your feet first, then push at the ground with the outer edges of your feet. Practice that in front of a mirror, and watch what it does to your quads. If you do it right, you'll see them pop out when you push.
On the side triceps (and side chest), try to eliminate the space between your back knee (the one far from the camera) and the front leg. One trick is to jam that knee into the meat of your inner thigh on the outside leg. It causes your hamstring to pop out more on the outer leg, and also kills that space, which shows thicker quad/ham development. Remember - every pose is a full-body pose, no matter what it's called!

Lookin good Hoops! You're definitely in shape, better than ever!
Tim and Rich already gave you very good advice. The only other thing that I can add is to maybe pull your posing trunks up a little higher on your hips. You're long waisted like me and that will help give the allusion that you're not!
Good job brother! Stay focused you're almost there!
