Achieving the perfect "sheen" for stage lighting
(Preview)
Hey everyone, What are you using for shine? I've tried "muscle sheen" from Protan and I looked like an oil slick on stage! The photos are horrifying and I do not want a repeat of that look. I thought of using PAM for the next show but I was told it streaks your tan...any suggestions?

# of shows

Would like to get everyone's input on this. What are your feelings on competing in multiple shows in succession? (for example 3 shows in 3 weeks) Do you feel as though you can properly peak and get better with each showing?

Contest prep when a show is not is sight.
(Preview)
After helping a number of people this past year, I have come to realize that how you treat your offseason is just as important as the time your losing body fat. And maybe even more important. I am not saying that you need to be within 5 to 10 pounds of stage weight nor you need to use a ton of supplements. I a...

Craving foods that you cant eat?

As some of you may or may not know, I am a low carb ketogenic dieter. I often crave really crazy foods when I am dieting. Most are carb explosions. One tip I have picked up to induce CCK in both the receptors and mentally, is to take a cap or two of white vinegar and 3-4 fish oil tabs before you eat. This will rai...

Do I also "need" a blinged-out suit for the night portion? Or is that not necessary?

Tanning

OK - simple question - but do people normally tan before competitions - or do you just rely on the sprays, creams, and other forms of "painted" on tans. Is tanning really worth it - since you do paint/spray in prep for the competition - or is it "pre-tanning" more of a mental thing....
