Stupid shit people do pre-contest

Okay so the idea for this thread came from another forum but I would also like to hear some of your stories and opinion on this topic.

Basically I just want to know what stupid thing people get up to pre-contest.

My main gripes are:
*Not being lean enough to start with
*Only start to practise posing a week out
*Listening to every person that sounds a bit clever.
*And that bronze tan kak they put on, its hideous. The overseas competitors don't use that crap.

train legs right up b4 the day of competition.

stupid things that i have noticed at the shows i have competed in are:

the use of spray and cook back stage and almost suffocating the other competitors(guess this is one way to beat ur competition)

the use of deep heat to improve vasodilation and they end up f%$#ing up their tans (tan goes slimey)

use of copious amounts of diuretics pre comp and the guys (and girls) cant even stand up for weight in they are cramping up so much.

my pet hate. . .these guys that use an abundance of old brown sherry (dutch courage) and then pass out on stage. . .and then they say its because they are dehydrated(no my friend you are pissed get the f%$# off the stage)
