There's a lot of wisdom in that. Part of it is consistency of training over many years, pushing the edges of ones ability. Part is living the lifestyle.
In the 90s I wasn't smart enough to do well. My training and lifestyle was crap…yeah I was a 2, but I didn't rest or train correctly (or eat) and basically buried myself.
