Generally that's dehydration, and you'll notice it's always worst for BBs that are in contest shape. It's the opposite of bloating up with water. Just before contests they shed water with diuretics and low liquid consumption to enhance the muscular look. It makes the body look rippled and cut but the face like the person is a cancer patient, all sunken and shriveled.
Lee Priest a bunch of years ago said some BBs go to such extremes with it that they risk kidney failure and organ damage. He said some of them are on the edge of death. He said the most unhealthy people at a bodybuilding show are the ones up on stage.
