In round two, you need to impress the judges with your muscle tone in a "relaxed" state. Most bodybuilders flex their abs and quads to the max and every other group at least 50% with a relaxed look.

One recommendation is to put up two mirrors on opposite walls so you can see what your back looks like and practice your back pose. If you set up a flat light over the main mirror, you can really check out your physique objectively.

Be honest with yourself and you will end up a winner. Just remember to keep the most easy-going, carefree, unstrained look on your face that you can muster.
