Bodybuilding is a very demanding sport as it is not just a lifestyle change that is needed to be successful at putting on muscle but also preparing for a contest. For example you need to shave your body-hair and some bodybuilders need to get their skin darker so that the hard earned muscle can be easily seen by the judges.
Some of the items listed on the checklist below will be obvious but it is better to make certain that you have not forgotten anything on the day of the contest. With all the intense training and cardio you have been doing there is a good chance you could miss something.
What is not included in the checklist are obvious assumptions that you should not make. Applying to enter the competition, making sure you know how to get there and setting up transport to ensure you will not be late are obvious. The judges will easily be able to feel your confidence when you walk onstage if you have prepared everything well in advance.
