    The use of PAM (or aerosal spray cooking oil) is prohibited

    Due to the fact that it is impossible to control the “over spray” of these PAM type of sprays, which has made the pump-up area floors a slippery hazardous surface (and there have been injuries), the use of these aerosal sprays is banned for use effective with the 2005 Mt. Rogers and for all future events in the region. The price difference between them and competition oils, such as Professional Posing Oil or Muscle Sheen is no more than a few dollars. The safety of the competitors and staff is priceless. There will be usually be posing oils for sale by contest vendors exhibiting at the shows for those who do not have them in advance. Please respect this rule and plan accordingly.

    BODYBUILDING POSING SUIT RULES

    Effective with events held in 2005, multi-colored and suits with rhinestones will be permitted for the FINALS ONLY. In the event that a competitor wishes to use a prop, only props that can be worn by the competitor will be permitted, in the finals only. In no case will anyone other than the competitor be permitted on the stage during the finals posing routines. Prejudging suits must still be one color without rhinestones. In the event of a live judged event (i.e. the Annapolis), the Prejudging rule of one color suits will be enforced, since prejudging and finals take place at the same time. In addition, as always, thongs will not be permitted in the competition at any time. If you are not sure, or have further questions, please call Dave Spindel at 703-690-7815 prior to purchasing your suit for the event.
    Note: This is for bodybuilders, only. Fitness Figure suit rules are contained in the Fitness Figure Rules (see link above).
