Salt-free is the requirement of professional bodybuilders, especially before the competition. In modern bodybuilding competition, salt is an important symbol to measure the quality of athletes' pre-competition training, because salt plays an important role in water balance and cell osmotic pressure. Excessive salt in the body will cause water storage in the muscle, which will have a certain impact on the clarity of muscle fibers observed on the skin surface. Therefore, bodybuilders had better eat less salt before the competition. The requirements for amateurs are not so high, but excessive salt intake will have many effects on the body, so even if you don't exercise, you should reduce salt intake.

I hope this helps.
