"This belief is already changing in bodybuilding and strength circles."

This is a mistake and one that can be extrapolated to the much larger world.

Real world growth implies building in excess of the target and then trimming the leftover.

I don't care if you're planning a battle charge or setting your family finances or going for massive gains in your delts: exact allocation of resources is doomed to fail.

In fact: the "bro science" of bulking up in a training phase and then "cutting" to a competition weight, etc., is revealing a deeper truth about the world.
