For bodybuilders, the food you eat for the last 24 hours before you step on stage plays a major role in determining how you look at the show.

There has recently been a discussion in bodybuilding bulking circles about the necessity of training arms when in off-season mode. Some bodybuilders feel that this period should be devoted mainly to weight gain and compound movements, and that spending time on exercises such as one-arm isolation dumbbell curls really won’t lead to mass gains, the goal of the off-season lifter.
