Days before the competition is usually when you’re feeling your worst physically. The joke is that the worse you feel, the better you look.

The day before the competition you do not work out. Your diet is strict to deplete your body of water. It is necessary to dehydrate your muscles to create the striations and definition for your muscles.
Usually you carbohydrate-load this day so your muscles fill out. However, you do not eat rice because it is made with water or drink any liquids.

Some competitors will go to steam rooms or saunas to sweat out as much water as possible. Others might use diuretics
