“Like⟳ everyone else who lifts weights, I wanted to maximize my gains and give⟳ myself the best chance to succeed⟳.”
“But it is impossible to prepare⟳ for competition and make⟳ the same kinds of gains as you would if you were training with full intensity and not dieting.

And it's obvious that you can't make⟳ maximum gains while you are restricting your food intake.”
“If you’re starting off skinny, you can probably get⟳ newbie gains for several months.”
