Does anyone have a secret on gaining a pre-contest tan. Im an Irish guy who tends to be a little on the white side. Im not talking bronzers or spray on tans but maybe a secret on becoming more tan prone. Is there a true melanin (spelling)or something that I could take. Just curious.

I think melanin is genetic and you either have enough or not...which determines how dark you can get.

Really, don't bother...even the whitest of the white guys can still get a good fake tan with topical tanning. For my show, I used Jan-Tana. The show was in October and I hadn't been out in the sun for like two months at that point and I'm a white guy. I had no base tan, but as you can see by my picture in my profile, the tanning stuff works good. So don't worry about taking anything in pill form or frying your skin(especially if you have fair skin):dumbbell:
