What's bodybuilding like after you turn 30?

[thx9000]

I am 32yo, every year I get in better shape than I was the previous year. I was truely pathetic at 20 though only got serious about this at 26 and had a lot of repairs to start on then...

Only thing I have noticed over the past few years, and it sucks, is I'm just not as horny as I was when I was younger. I do wonder what kind'a progress I could have made had I had a little more determination 10 years ago.

haha! Yeah, that started with me in my mid 20's i'd say. i've gotten in my share of trouble for not being interested half the time. lol.

I am 38 and have been training for 17 yrs. The good thing is muscle maturity. Look at coleman he is in his late 30's. iI know he is also got genitics and is at a whole different pharmcy level than we even dream about. My point is the longivity.
The bad thing is the aches and pains are not as easy to train thru. you really have to learn to listen to your body.
As for metabolism It does get slower but regardless of age nutrion is always key to a good metabalim. If you don't really pay attention to what you eat then now would be a good time to start.
Horny, hell my wife is 9 years younger and I drive her crazy. I want it all the time. Escpecially when on a good cycle of test.

31, I am faster, stronger and look better than at any other point in my life. Life seems to get better every year.

Recovery and training is easier now do to education. At some point things will slide and chances are my expectations will have changed as well.

It sucks..................

you dont recover as fast, your erections are less frequent, and not as hard, food dosnt taste as good. I've actually shrank 3 inches, my balls dont hang as low. My knees and my back hurts, my attitude sucks. My metabolism is nonexistant. My elbow hurts, my neck cracks every time I turn it, I'm not as strong as I was when I was younger, or as handsome. My hair line is creeping back, while my waist size is creeping up. I have no sex drive, and I sleep 10 hours a day, with no motivation to train....................
Getting old sucks...............not. You adjust, it's not too bad, really.

I'm 43. I'm stronger and look better than at any time in my life.

Anybody whining about aging at 30 is a candy ass.

All these things mentioned here are prevelant, for me the biggest concern is my hair...it's not as nice as it once was , that and I don't recover as fast and I am getting hairier...but I'm only 28 so I really shoudn't even be on this thread......... old farts.

If you guys are squawking about being 30, you're gonna get your ass kicked hard in 10 years. Fuck, 35 is the prime of your life! I was in the best shape of my life at 42.

But we all lose a step. What are you gonna do? Give up?

Aging ain't for pussies.

God bless Fina, Test and gowth.
