I’ve said this many times … and I have caught heat for saying it.
But it is FACT.
A majority of top-level bodybuilders are strongest during the two or three months before a competition.
During this time, they are blasting the most gear. As well, there is something to the hyper (and predominantly unnatural) fat-burning process that massively boosts strength and performance. Heck, some fat-burning drugs themselves have dramatic performance-enhancing effects.
This isn’t speculation.
I have seen this TIME AND AGAIN, as well as have been told as much, first hand, by countless IFBB professionals and legends.
