    like you said tanning... full body pumps def help.. hit few sets before you need to show your stuff.. even isometrics help.. couple days beforehand... low carbs, no suger or dairy, low cals and even low water intake hours beforehand..

    elaborate on pens/something... are you saying like a marker that you outline your muscles with?

    Carb depletion and loading... Just depleting carbs will make your muscles appear small and flat.

    what's the time frame for loading? after depleting for a couple of days are you supposed to load like 6-10 hours prior to "show time"?

    Oh no, you have to load like 2-3 days to fill out completely.
