When you don't work hard for things, you don't appreciate the payoff.
Dude ate 3000 cals for a month as prep, and relied on drugs and his goober metabolism to get him "ready".
It wasn't hard, so he didn't care to stick around for the medal / trophy.
If he dieted for 12-14 weeks and suffered, he'd damn sure want that 2nd place.
A+ grade insight, encapsulates both the inexplicable bailing out , and a big chunk of the broader problem with bhank
His not sticking it out for another couple of hours than originally scheduled is proof his prep was a joke, no way you would do that if you put your heart and soul into it
Guy is a quitter and still doesn't get it , or is in denial about it - either way it makes no difference to the end (no) result
