Why do bodybuilders in competitions dye themselves orange? There must be a reason for this freakish tan? :D

Under the bright lights on stage at a comp, it shows more muscle definition.

Really? Do you just paint it on before comps and then take it off? What would happen if you chose not to use it?

you don't have to use fake tan. You can walk on stage 'naturally' if you want. Under the bright lights tho, you'll look like casper the ghost, like the obvious guy in the photo below

he has either very little or no tan paint on at all. I know i'd rather look tanned like............

lol he looks old and less muscley than the other two. Is that photoshopped?

I like tans too but i hate that orange colour. I get why they do it now though :)
 
If Mr white is as muscley as the other 2 guys and it's not showing just because he is white. I'm going to get a tan ASAP. Hahaha

The guy in the pic by himself doesn't look orange. He looks better.

Hey when your legs are that muscley... do they rub together when you walk?
 
Clearly he is not as muscular, the other thing is he has a higher bodyfat percentage. The lower bodyfat guys give the appearance of bigger muscles.
