.....”Competition prep time is very dangerous”.....

With a female body builder in the family she has spoken of this prep time just in the change of what she eats. Then afterwards how it changes yet again. IMO bouncing the body's system around like that just seems to me to tax it and therefore over years certainly so.....especially in your 50's when things don't bounce back as when younger.
