This is also true. I've made the same mistake before. "Oh it's probably just bloat". We sometimes try to delude ourself. I see plenty of guys who think they're like... 8-10% bodyfat, then you look at them and they have a blurry set of abs in the right light. This is also why we take progress pictures, take weekly weight averages and often hire coaches. Some people see hiring as a coach as a knock on their personal knowledge and ability. Truth be told, when hiring a coach, you most often are just hiring someone to give you an outside perspective. Contest prep literally can turn people crazy with delusions. They have studies done on people in metabolic wards and then ask them their calorie intake. They see results such as the person reporting 1500-2000 calories, but when footage is reviewed it's actually sometimes up to double that. It's like Lyle McDonald said- you ask someone on the street how many calories are in a pizza and they will answer, ehh bout 800?.
