Completely disagree with this guy. As a former d1 athlete, we are different, we crave the competition, and “fame” the athletics give us… after all its what makes us who we are.

I was benching a bit over twice my body weight, working out once a day at least on top of training. The issue is, when you’re young and have a great metabolism, the will to impress, and crazy workout schedules, you eat as much of whatever as often as you can.

This is thought because when you get injured, sick, lazy, etc. your workout regimen changes, but your diet does not. I ate close to 2.5x the amount of recommended carbs for myself, but it was needed because of how active I was, now I’m not and getting fatter by the day.
