What is the correct hand placement for the side triceps pose? Fingers to the audience (on the flexing arm), fist and pulling against the opposite hand, or fingers pointing toward the other hand. I get a different look each way I do this pose and I can't decide which way gives me the best look.
there is no "correct" hand placement...you are right to let which ever looks the best dictate your hand placement...perhaps posting a pic of each for us to decide would help.
Fist/wrist flexed is a more masculine and the open hand/wrist extended very feminine. If you keep your arm in the same position, the only thing that should change is the shape of your forearm and, of course, the look of the hand.
