I use the free weights they have there and do upper body.

Yes, hopefully they should have free weights in the back. Pump up your upper body and you're set.

a band, and push-ups, that's it.

it's not necessary to use any free weights IMO.

I also have read Rob's post on Prep to win Just looking for more insight.

Rob, i was thinking along your line Its easier

I just do not think that lifting weights is necessary for a pump, hell you can get a pump from flexing.

plus, you do not want to get too pumped or tired, or you will have a difficult time posing.

Totally agree I borrowed some bands from the gym this arvo to give them a shot.
I know when you do a set and then try to flex (like i did with bi's today) they get so pumped they just look full and soft....

I didn't have bands before. Craig dug some out of the trunk of his car for this time. So...I'll give those a try! Plus I won't have to hit someone in the head with a weight if they want it.

Just make sure not to over pump muscles that may obscure definition. Just a light pump of most muscles is all you should need. And yes you should get more pumped as the prejudging goes on from hitting the poses.
