By Sherman Folks


Are you thinking about entering a bodybuilding competition? Just the thought of performing can be scary for a newcomer, but it's also exciting to think about. You can read about competitions in muscle magazines, or watch them on the television, but it's not the same as actually taking part in a competition.

You need to be as lean as possible on the day of the show. This will not be a huge problem for you especially if cardio is part of your regular workout. If cardio is not something that you do on a regular basis, then you should start about three months before the competition begins. It really depends on your body type, and how much weight you want to lose, when choosing a cardio routine. Have you noticed that most competitors at a bodybuilding competitions have tanned bodies? This is a delicate issue because overdoing it can be harmful. You don't want your skin to get dried out, and you certainly don't want the orange tint that certain artificial tanning products leave. On the other hand, a natural, healthy looking tan can help you look your best. Maybe you already use a tanning product or method that works well on your skin. It that's the case, continue what you're already doing. If you're going to be experimenting with new products, however, do so with caution. You might find that spending a reasonable amount of time in the actual sunshine, or in a tanning booth, works well for you. Just don't get carried away.

Before you enter a bodybuilding competition, try to attend as many contests as possible before hand. This way, you will be more at ease with the process when you choose to be one of the contestants. Just getting a feel of the atmosphere and watching the contestants will help you prepare. If you watch bodybuilding competitions on your television, you can gather a lot of information; however, nothing compares to attending a live event. You will also have the advantage of observing how the audience responds to the different competitors. And it will be easier to actually note what sets the winners apart from the other competitors. This type of research will be advantageous to you when you are ready to participate in a competition.
