No way, if anything you will look more ripped from tanning. You should be shedding a lot of water from sweating when you tan. | ||

Im guessing its the mirrors at the tanner, when you tan you lose a lot of water (sweat) so I doubt thats making you hold any water. ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board) | ||

actually, if you're close enough to a show, tanning will make you retain water. basically, when you go to the tanning beds, you are damaging your skin. damage to the skin illicits a healing response that starts working to repair and rebuild your skin. therefore, nutrients and other molecules (including water) are transported to the subcutaneous layers and may make a very lean (<5%) bodybuilder look puffy and look like he/she is holding water. i tend to stay away from tanning during the last week of contest prep.

Flexed1 told me the same thing as Pharm Animal. Tanning does make a lean person look like they are holding water. By the way, do u guys notice how vascular you look when u come out?! Everytime i look into the mirror after i tan i have viens coming through my chest and through my shoulders. ------------------ | ||

are you burning from tanning? Burning will cause you to hold water. it will bloat you. I worked as a tanning tech for over a year...if you need any help...drop me a line. B True | ||

If you have been tanning for a week.You skin is probably burnt.And as "Befold" said you will hold water with a sunburn.The swelling wil go away as your skin is less sensitive. ------------------ | ||

b fold the truth and TEXASAMM Hit the nail on the head. That is why a precontest bodybuilder should stop tanning 2-3 days before the contest. A sunburn will cause the skin to swell and gives you a smooth look. On the day of the competition you can tan 10-15min and you wont burn. This will help to lose some water. A sauna would do the same. ------------------ |
