condition is based solely on suffering and starving yourself, no ifs and or buts bout it
Are you sure that the extra calories and increased metabolism that comes along with cardio and extra workouts doesn't contribute AT ALL to your over all condition?
If HIT guys workout 3 X per week at an hour per workout for a total of 3 hours a week.
And, let's say for argument sake, to get ready for the 82 Olympia Casey was working out 5 days per week at 2 hrs per workout for a total of 10 hours.
Are you saying that those extra 7 hours per week don't matter?
I understand the point you're trying to make. And if we were talking to your average fat fuck that doesn't know anything about exercise, nutrition or calories, I would agree with you;: the focus needs to be on either calories in vs calories out or maintaiing ketosis... but not in pro bodybuilding. In addition to working out and diet there's also the matter of drugs. And the workouts play a part of conditioning all the way up to the last week or so before the show.
