Male Bodybuilders

Prefer Male Body Shaving



Male bodybuilders remove visible body hair and also change pubic hair length by cutting, trimming or shaving their pubic hair. Some competitors prefer waxing pubic hair before competitions.


Why Do Bodybuilders Shave Their Bodies?

Male Bodybuilders Posing For Judges To show off their hard earned muscle definition, of course! Judges need to be able to see the muscles they have to assess in order to appoint the category winner.

The presense of body hair dilutes muscle definition to hazy fuzziness. Bodybuilders must be darkly tanned and oiled for competitions.

Male bodybuilders wear tiny speedo-like swimwear on stage during competitions. It means they have to do some serious genital hair removal, especially their bikini pubic hair.

It just wouldn't look right to have a hairless body with pubic hair curling out of the speedo, now would it? Hell no! Grooming pubic hair is done.

Body hair acts as natural "sunblock" for the skin. That doubles the time needed in the sun or on the sunbed to get the necessary tan.

It is difficult to believe that those burly male bodybuilders with the enormous muscles who are competing in testosterone laden bodybuilding competitions, aren't all naturally hairless.

Their secret is body shaving. Yes, we are talking about male androgenic hair that is removed by means of male body shaving and waxing.


Which Hair Do They Remove?

Mens pubic hair and body hair can be removed by various hair removal methods. Abdominal hair, armpit hair and arm hair removal are done by male bodybuilders.

And definitely the back hair also if they have it. Sooner or later complete male body hair shaving is done by most contestants.


Available Hair Removal Methods

The available methods can be roughly divided into temporary, longer lasting, long term and permanent body hair removal for men.

In the same order it escalates from cheapest to most expensive, and also in the same order from fastest to most time consuming methods. Do some testing to find which methods suit you best.

  1. Temporary depilation – shaving, clippers/trimmers, depilation cream and friction.
  2. Longer lasting epilation – waxing, sugaring, tweezing, threading and epilator device.
  3. Long term photo epilation – intense pulsed light or IPL device and laser.
  4. Permanent – the only method is electrolysis.

For obvious reasons some of these methods (friction, tweezing, hair threading and electrolysis) are not suitable for huge body areas. Clippers do not give a smooth finish, but is very handy to trim the hair short before doing another type of hair removal method afterwards.

Some men find veet hair removal creams very harsh on the skin. Chemical burns are no joke. Some men find these creams have just at about no influence on their coarse body hair.

They have to keep the smelly creams on the skin for ages before the hair start to dissolve. Just to be repeated again in a few days' time.

Most men do not handle the pain of epilation very well, because the hair is removed by the root. Body sugaring is a very good option when the man is uncertain about epilation treatments.

If he decides he can't go through with the treatment after the product has already been applied, the citrus hair removal system can simply be washed off with warm water.


Male Body Shaving & Leg Shaving

Bodybuilder Frontal And Back  Most male bodybuilders opt for shaving. It is the easiest, fastest, cheapest, cleanest method available. Men already know how to use a razor. They just need to learn how to use the razor on the rest of their bodies too.

A man must remember that it will take a lot of time to shave his whole body in one session. He must allow himself at least 90 minutes to do manscaping.

To save himself some time, he can shave his lower body the one day and the upper body the next. That way he will always be clean shaven, but in half the time. It is better to shave more often than to let the hair grow long before shaving again.

Leg shaving is very popular. Even men who do not do any type of sport, like to remove the hair on their legs. Get some tips from the lady in your life.

Especially the chest hair must be shaven very carefully. The chest area is prone to ingrown hair. An infected hair follicle must be avoided at all cost before a competition. Ingrown pubic hair is a big problem and can lead to keloid scarring.

Shave with the hair growth direction to avoid pubic hair pimples. The only body hair that can safely be shaven against the growth is the leg hair. The underarm hair or armpit hair grows in all directions and must be shaven in those directions.


Temporary Epilation By Male Bodybuilders

Epilation is a very good option to take, because the treated area will be smooth for several weeks. Body sugaring is very suitable for coarse male body hair. The cold waxing technique can be used to remove most body hair.

Hot wax should always be used to do genital hair removal because of the coarseness and density of the hair. Cold strip wax might break the hair.

If the man decides to use an epilator device, I recommend a full body waxing first. The epilator can then be used for weekly upkeep.

It can be very uncomfortable, if not downright painful, to use the epilator for the first time. Epilation causes the hair to grow out finer and sparser.

Eventually the really dedicated male bodybuilders move on to the long term hair removal options of intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser. The treated area will be hair free for about 12 months. In many cases the removal can be permanent.


Permanent Removal by Electrolysis


Electrolysis is the only permanent method. Because electrolysis treats individual hair it, is extremely time consuming and therefore very expensive. Needless to say, it is not a viable method to use for the whole body. It is excellent for small areas.


If you live in Gauteng or close to Pretoria, South Africa, you might be interested in making an appointment with me for a full body massage or hair removal by means of intense pulsed light (IPL), hot or cold waxing or sugaring. Please fill in the form on my Contact Me page.
