i gave my honest answer above.. not what you want to hear but its IMHO the best advice you will get
Awesome post Steve, and I agree 100% with all of it!
Im 38 and recently married and am making more progress than I ever did when I was young and in my 20's or in college. Just seems Im able to focus on my fitness related goals more, and afford the gear and food that it requires.
Too many distractions when younger, always chasing ass, which means always partying, which means bad for fitness goals, and everyone is overall less disciplined and mature when they are 21 compared to 35 or so.
Absolutely bro. I'm 38 also with a wife and three kids. I never touched any AAS at all until 36 when I had my shit together, life established, and all the kids I was ever going to have
