Over at Muscle Ventures, Nancy Arnold presents an interesting analysis of bodybuilding poses as isometric exercise. The thing you might not realize is that, although the poses are named for body parts they showcase, they are actually full body displays. The athlete has to hold his or her body fully tensed during the time of the pose.
As I've mentioned before, the thing I find interesting about bodybuilding is the combination of components and discipline. The issue I see with bodybuilding is the extremes people go to to achieve a certain look. The emphasis on looks just goes too far.
Nancy gives a nice insight to the discipline side.
