Oldest guys who juice?

[Big_Joe]

I am in at 48. Been working out and cycling since 28. At 37 married my wife who was 21 at the time and she approached me. I think it has definitely kept me younger. Even my kids think I look great to be 48.

My wife is thirteen years younger then me. It's like getting to live the last decade over again. I got married at 36. Life is GOOD.

I don't think it's about having the balls to do it. When you hit 40+ your idea of what's important changes. I could care less about being 250 lbs and 8% BF. I'd rather be 210 lbs with 8% BF and a 50 resting HR.

good post DT. when you are in your 20s you want to be all big and intimidating. this doesnt really matter when you get older, but being buff and fit ALWAYS looks good.

juicing does not have to mean being freakily huge. if done right can give you that something extra. you can bring your physique to a new level. and ya, a little extra size still is cool after 40.

Absolutely.

As a young man, I felt I had to overcompensate because I was an extreme ecto. At 18 I was 6', 130#. Now that I've been big (not nearly as big as radar et al, but big for me), I no longer feel the need to strut.

Let me add that as you age, carrying around all that extra muscle begins to wear on your joints. When I was bigger in my mid 40's, I couldn't go running anymore because it tore up my ankle and shins (not a joint, but you know what I mean). I've since dropped 20-25 # of both fat and muscle, and can now run again without suffering for days afterwards.

The downside is all the weight loss has left skin around my neck loose, which make me look more wrinkled and aged. Still, young girls in my salsa class flirt with me and tell me my graying hair is sexy. I'll take what I can get.

if that really bothers you you can get that fixed by a good plastic surgeon. but you are a guy and sound kinda fit and happenin' so sure it doesn't really look that bad anyhow.

i know women that have had plastic surgery to tighten up neck area and supposedly extremely painful.

i hear that!!!!!!!!!!!!! now.........what the hell was I gonna say??? Oh yah, just teuned 40 (I hate that number) but when I meet new people they think I'm in my late 20's. Now thats a compliment . Been takin gear on & off since I was 21 (mainly off). I agree witht the health thing, I have daughter now and I want to live as long and as healthy as I can so I can spend the most time possible with her. Priorities...........they do change
