Why do Body Builders/Figure competitors....

over tan?

I can understand tanning a bit, but holy crap....some are just gross. (in my opinion)

It's like a whole other world that I just don't understand.......

and it's usually spray on, so they're orange

it accentuates their muscularity. Many literally brush on the tan stuff right before they go on stage.

It helps them look more defined. Or at least they think so.

I understand that it is supposed to make the muscle more defined, but when they hit Orange and have glowing white circles around their eyes....um....don't they know to maybe stop.

A "healthy" tan looks nice. Orange looks disgusting!!!

Normally it's just for the DAY of Competition, to show off the muscle definition when posin' on stage etc. - but off season...I have NO idea...:laugh:

^^^^^^All the above. The stage lights can wash them out and you can't see their muscles. But I agree some go way overboard!
