The Importance of Facial Expressions and Smiling for Judges

I have seen so many guys in the Men Physique category who look like they are in physical pain when they are posing. I know we are all tired and hungry during peak week but the judges really value a relaxed and confident facial expression. I am trying to practice my smile as much as my quarter turns.

In New York the competition is fierce and sometimes the difference between first and second place is just the overall energy you bring to the stage. If you look like you are miserable it reflects poorly on your package. You have to look like you are having the time of your life.

How do you keep your face from twitching when you are holding a pose for a long time? I find that my jaw starts to shake after about thirty seconds. I am trying to keep my eyes bright and engaged with the judging panel. Does anyone have any mental tricks to stay composed under pressure?
