    Wrapping with Plastic Rap

    I have never really been a believer in spot reduction fat loss. However, some guys who I respect have recommend that I start wrapping my midsction at night with plastic rap and putting on ben gay. I know that this is fairly common.

    My question is do you guys believe this stuff actually works and, if so, should I continue to do it up until the show? Would it work to bring out cuts in my legs? Thanks in advance.

    I've gotten quite a few responses on another board. Some folks use preperation-H instead of ben gay. I'm going to give it a try I guess. I'm pretty skeptical but I dont think it could hurt.

    Haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a test run tonight or tomorrow maybe. From the info I have found, it may work short term but it doesn't do much good to wrap up more than a couple days out. I'll see if it tightens up the skin around my midsection and if so, I'll wrap the two-three days before the comp.

    a535 huh? Is it any different than a general product like icyhot or bengay? Doesn't look like it's commonly available here in the US.

    Do you just put it on your waist or also cover it with the plastic wrap? How far out from a comp do you start using this? Are you still into men?
