Those list of bodybuilders also never took long periods off, until they really decided to stop competing but were just pushing on even though their bodies were trying to rest.
Look at milos now, been resting and he looks awesome.
Paul D looks great for not even training.
Chiris Cormier has competed non stop for a long time and is in the gym training people.
And Flex did train hard, until later on in his careere when he was getting feed up with the politics and all the other bullshit.
The people that have a logical approach to training and diet are Ronnie , and Lee priest both take breaks, and rest then they hit the weights hard.
