Question for you bros that compete

[cranny]

I was curious, what do you work out with just before going on stage? Do you just work out w/ dumbells and/or bands. Do you work all muscles or just a select few. In short, what's the process? thanks

I think bands are better. dumbells just get me too damn tight. bands just seem to get everything just right without over doing it and they keep a steady tension. now i have done dumbell squats.

I use heavy db's. I can't get a pump with bands or light weights. I don't do anything for legs, since that will wash them out. I mainly pump my delts, arms, chest, and back. I just move from exercise to exercise at a slow pace. I don't rush through it like a lot of guys do. That will just leave you out of breath.

I like the bands. I go from side laterals to tricep kick outs to curls then some upper and lower flyes and then some bent over laterals. I go slow until I feel a decent pump flexing the whole time.

push-ups work well also.

It depends-different contest promoters offer different venues here. You take what you get. I've had access to pump up rooms with a lot of choices-free weights, bands, plenty of room, etc and others that had no heat (40 degrees), 3 sets of dumbells to be shared by all, and crowded as hell. One time backstage was so crowded and disorganized the women's classes were changing in/out of their posing outfits right next to the guys-within feet of us pumping up. Most of the chicks had no shame. I saw a lot of rug/fake tits. Unfortunately most were not the least bit attractive at all.

You got that right!

Its a battlefield in some of those places!
