Dehydration
I was at the FAME centrals bodybuilding competition today, and all of the women said the worst thing about bodybuilding was the dehydration. Why is this? Why do they have to dehydrate themselves? Don't they have to keep drinking a lot during their workouts and immediately prior to the competition (and throughout) in order not to look too flat?

So how long are they actually dehydrated for? How much water do they drink? Is there a ratio of L.: LBM??
