extra skin help needed

I am 30 days out from my 1st show.
I am at 7% bodyfat and have come down from16.9%, I am concerned with the extra skin that seems to be hanging around my stomach and bottom abs, does anyone have any tips on tightening that skin up?

i dont think theres anything you can directly do to fix this. i have the same problem. but when you carb load itll stretch out and wont be as noticable. Plus for me atleast it gives more incentive to get BIGGER to stretch it out permanently lol.

I'm 2 days out from mine, and did a similar post on it with little help. A friend bought some topical fat burner called Napalm and told me to try it. I got some (from BB.com) put it on my abs and wrapped it in a neoprene wrap overnight everynight for about 1 1/2 weeks now and something is making a difference for sure. My diet is spot on, bf% was 3.6% early last week, looks like it's half that now - assuming the number was right) and I've dropped sodium and carbs, so not sure which is working, buts sure worth a try for you. Also, Another nerdy scince type friend who used to work in a GNC and dated a figure competitior girl told me to buy some Thiomulcase. I did a search and found something called Thiomaxx, but not sure where I got it from, some place called muscle mass or something. It's supposed to do the same thing. I'm using both so not sure which is working, but both are worth a try.

Good luck to you bro.
