Doing warm up shows before your main show ?

[Chris250]

What do you guys think about doing a warm up show before I hit Nationals ? I was thinking about donig the Ironman show up in Chicago, two weeks before hitting Nationals...I was thinking about doing it, so Magnum could do a pre run with me before we hit up Nats. Good idea or bad idea ?

I know some guys always do a warm up show if they can or if it fits into there show schedule. But some guys think that it will just mess them up for the main show. Give me your thoughts on this ...

thanks

well as you know I did. Two weeks before the main show. I think it helped me be fuller and I also learned alot about my color which was a good thing.

warm up show: weighed in @ 222lbs, competed at 217lbs
main show: weighed in @ 220lbs, competed at 225lbs, looked a hell of alot better than the first show.

seems like a great way to get your posing down and get some feedback at the same time.
