Hi I’m planning on competing the nys ocb big east natural and im wondering if it is required in any competition to tan. im guessing it depends on the rules per comp but just wondering. There are a lot of health effects short and long term to using any of these tanning products and i bodybuild to be healthier so this just seems backwards to me. Id much rather go out looking a little paler than others, not looking to win anything just wanna compete for some fun and light hearted friendly competition with others who share a common interest.

I guess I've been having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of doing multiple different exercises for the same muscle group. For example, what's the point of doing 3 sets of cable tricep-pushdowns and 3 sets of cable tricep-pullovers if you could just do 6 sets of cable tricep-pullovers? Especially if you feel a better stimulus in just the cable tricep-pullovers? Wouldn't it be way more efficient to just keep doing the same exercise if it causes a really good stimulus?
