Natural bodybuilding; Unnatural Tan
I was just wondering why with so much emphasis is paced on "drug free, all natural bodybuilding" at the show everyone is dripping brown with unnatural tan in a bottle and it’s received as perfectly "natural"????
I’ve been experimenting with the stuff and you do get amazingly darker in a short time(hours), but it’s messy. It comes off on clothes and any fabric you come in contact with, runs and streaks if you get wet, washes down the drain if you bathe; well you get the idea. I think if you’re gonna be natural then be natural. But since no one cares what I think, this is my pseudo-natural plan for my upcoming show.
I’ll be doing the tanning bed tour as often as I can for the next two weeks, then a week on the beach in FL, then tanning bed again 2-3 days before the show. Maybe I can eliminate the "paint job" altogether. Just apply a little "all natural" PAM for sheen..lol
Oh by the way, the pics that I have posted are both natural suntan and then a couple layers of Pro Tan..Told you I was experimenting…lol

I too hate all the painting Chris but when you get under those bright lights if you’re not extremly dark all your hard work and cuts washes out believe me.

I came across this blog article of yours when trying to find out if there are any competitions that don’t require tanning. It disgusts me - I workout to be fit, to be healthy and I’m irked that should I want to take the next step and compete in the figure division that I will be required to sport a fake tan or damage my skin in a tanning bed.
If it wasn’t required and EVERYONE sported their own natural skin tone, people wouldn’t look so washed out in comparison to each others’ natural skin.
