Contest Preparation
Shaving, Tanning, Protan Application
.
Contest Preparation starts months ahead and is both mental and physical. If you have never competed before watch a few contests first. Become comfortable wearing your posing suit, don't wait for contest day to be shocked when you see yourself in the mirror. Tan in your suit or wear it in the tanning bed. Women made sure you use bikini bite (suit fastner) Be familiar with the same songs repeatetly used for posing routines, be different and unique in your music. Do not use any music that has vulgarity in it. Tanning for your contest should be done gradually either outside in the sun or with a tanning bed. If you are a very hairy person now is the time to start shaving. Coarse heavy hair can give you a blotchy tan. You want an even overall tan for a base before applying your ProTan, dye-oderm, or Jan Tana Tanning Formulaetc. Tanning outside: tan in a posing suit similiar to the one you'll be wearing contest day. Tanning in shorts presents a problem with white upper legs and white skin around your suit. Tanning in a bed, a lot of bodybuilders tan in the in the nude or wear just a thong. Tanning in a bed eliminates some of the problems of tanning outside in a suit or shorts but check your overall tan you may have to lay on your sides in the bed to get an equal tan. Shaving for a contest should be done atleast a week before the show. This will enable any cuts or nicks to heal prior to applying your pro-tan etc and should prevent most skin irritation. Note we now carry a product called Jan Tana Hair Remover. We have had customer comments on their results and prefer this product over shaving. Try your suit on and look in the mirror. You need to trim public hair if it shows around your suit, also you may have to trim or remove the hair for your suit to fit snug [PRO-Style] and remain in place during your routine. Bikini bite is a suit glue that works well in holding your suit in place. Again don't wait the day before to do your shaving. Some bodybuilders find it easier just to get or give themselves a full body shave and stay smooth atleast through the competition season and some the year round with hair inhibitor . Protan Application: There are many other skin care colorings you may use. We are quite pleased with the results from Pro-Tan.(Make sure you have enough Protan before you start and especially if you're traveling out of town for a contest, have 2 bottles to be safe, sometimes it's impossible to find the night before, BE PREPARED.) Skin preparation is important, prior to applying the first coat take a hot shower using soap and a wash rag to give yourself a light but thorough scrubbing to remove most body oil and dry flaky skin. Pat dry yourself with a towel. Now it's time to apply the first coat, make sure your have plenty of newpapers on the floor for the overspray. Apply the protan is a well-lighted room. Wear as little as possible: thong, jock,and if your comfortable about it, nothing. Don't try to do any outline around where your posing suit will be, cover any areas that possibly could show if your suit would move slighty, do your glutes completely. Have your friend, coach, whoever start at your neck and work down. Spray an area, example: back, then brush out evenly. You may apply more than one coat if you use a hairdryer to aid in the drying. Only begin the second coat after you applied the first to the whole body and completely dry. Use a hair dryer to insure complete dryness. A third person would speed things up if you're trying to do all in one night. Protan even dry will rub off on your sheets and clothing. Use old sheets, don't wear your best clothes. Competing out of town bring an old set of sheets for your bed in the motel. Some individuals are shocked when their motel presents them will a bill for new sheets, comforter etc. Save yourself some headaches . With a Saturday contest most athletes start applying Protan on Thursday night, even as early as Wednesday, and another coat Friday. If you have time to apply a third or fourth coat, DO-IT, you can never be too dark under the stage lights. The darker you are the more your muscularity, cuts etc will show. These athletes will have a more natural look. Friday night you may apply two coats or more using a hairdryer. Applying Protan on Saturday morning is asking for problems. The Protan won't thoroughly dry and will run on stage. If you aren't dark enough I recommend Ultra-Bronzer for a final topcoat. It is an excellent product for doing your face, top of hands and feet with also. Prejudging many recommend using Muscle Sheen instead of Posing Oil. You won't get too glossy with the sheen and the judges will see your overall muscularity and definition better. Posing Oil (NOT BABY-OIL) is for the evening show. Use performance brands muscle juice with Protan and Jan Tana posing gel with Jan Tana Tanning Essentials Have atleast two posing suits with you. One for prejudging and the other for the evening show. Note: Many athletes have achieved a super dark rich and natural looking tan by applying 2 coats of Pro tan and then a top coat of Jan Tana Competition Tan the night before the show. Listen to your trainer and his/her recommendations. Check out the competition stains and how they look on you. There are many on the market. We also recommend you having 2 posing suits with you when you compete, suits get torn, accidents happen with nerves and all. After spending all your time and hard earned money for a contest don't drop out for lack of posing suit.
