Hi All - I am in this industry as a figure competitor and have many friends that are professional and amateur bodybuilders. I have an airbrush system and simply use the competition ProTan solution instead of my airbrush solution. I have them supply me with the ProTan Comp Solution and I spray it on! I usually do 2 sessions for bodybuilders with ProTan, so typically takes 2 days. I use 2 full 8oz bottles of the ProTan solution that they bring in. I use all 8 oz each day! Their color will be perfectly dark... just the way we like it on stage. After that, there is no need for extras. Some bodybuilders I have done have chose not to shower before they go on stage and wear the ProTan on stage. I have others that shower. If tehy shower before, it will be a bit lighter.. just as normal airbrushes are lighter after they shower off the cosmetic bronzer. So it depends on the bodybuilder and how dark they want to be. If they do not wash it off and leave it on when they go on stage, and sweat, some of that cosmetic bronzer will sweat off - just have them be careful. I have had nothing but positive feedback from this!

I would in no way try to get them uber dark from the tanning bed - the darkness they need to be cannot come from UV tanning - it has to be fake or the damnage to their skin would be crazy! That is what I do for myself and all the bodybuilders I airbrush! Hope that helps!
