From a physical stance, when do you guys think your reach your maximum potential?

When is all down hill?

I would say that over 40 is all downhill....no offense for our esteemed over 40 year old EF posters, but I dont see how can you be in a better physical shape than a 25-35 year old guy....provided, of course you both guys are working out and eating right!

Your thread was spoiled the moment your putrid brain experienced a few puny neural synapses.

Seriously.....a question about age and athleticism? :worried:

I gotta dissagree with ya, Sea. 40 is a number, but it's not a physical disadvantage if you take care of yourself right. My husband turned 40 in January and he's still improving himself, not to mention being in better shape than most guys in our gym regardless of age.

Besides, I'm almost 38 and I don't want you depressing me as I approach 40!!!
 
My goal is to look better at 40 than I did at 20....one year to go and I got a good shot.

My dad was climbing hills at 79 that my 38 year old bodybuilder friend wouldn't touch.


genetics, exercise, and mental attitude can take one a very long ways.


Eventually age does everyone in though...no escape.

Take a look at Ironmaster....look at his avatar...he's a perfect example of a guy in his 50's looking great.

I'm a lot older than most of you guys, and as I look around at people my age and older, there are very few buff looking men and women. It takes a lot to keep yourself looking good through the years, but it can be done. If not by natural means, then we'll take all the help we can get. :D

Withe the right drugs(GH + HRT), care, weights, cardio and not too much sun.....45.

But it differs from ethnicity to etnicity. Mediterraneans age amazingly well. WHile americans really don't......unless they go the way of the knife.
 
you young bucks think 40 is so old but it is still very young for a man. you will see that as you get older. you can still be in fantastic shape in your 40s. it helps if you have kept active in your 20s and 30s. you may start to "go downhill" eventually but that may be replaced by success in your work and family.

I was reffering only from a physical point of view....

I have no doubts that you can be in excellent shape when you are in your 40s....

My questions is:" Are your lifts as good as they were when you were in you 20s or 30s"? Provided that you have been working out all your life....

oh ,ok out at sea. i am 41 and stronger than i ever was. it is hard to say when that will begin to change but i guess it is inevitable.

Yes, I'm from Spain.
 
I benched 365 lbs at age 20 and I'm planning to hit 405 lbs at age 40.

If you continue to train then you should continue to improve. My husband has been training since he was in high school off and on. He hasn't take more than a week off in the last two years. His lifts are better than ever.

That seems to be very true. My husband is Italian and is aging so well that he will still get carded at clubs. I wish I wasn't so fair and had his genetics. I can certainly see myself getting a facelift in the future.
 
OAS, Test boy...


lets all be friends. you are both old men, therefore you are both rotting bags of atrophy.


that is all

mullet1 over and out.

What did yo bench at 30 or 35?
Click to expand...

I didn't train seriously from 30 til last year so probably about 200 lbs. :) I haven't done a free weight bench in about 8 years so it's like starting from scratch....all machine stuff.

AS to "getting a face lift".....why not?

LOL The other day I got out of the shower and had my hair pulled up in a towel. I noticed that my face was tighter than normal and that's when I realized that I'll someday want a facelift.

Before my father passed away last year he confided in me that when he looked into the mirror he never felt like the way he looked, he always felt much younger. There's only so much we can do naturally, for the rest I'll pay the price.

Sometimes the price is too high and painful....and you you know the best from your own experience.

Oh. those swedish babes..........here I come........ :)

And 24/7 skiing as well.

And madrid, a short 3hr hop away, London , a short 2 hour hop away, Oslo....30 minutes by train.
 
When you give up.
 
i think physically you are at your prime in your late 20s to early 30s, i dont see too many professional athletes that dominate their sports in their 40s. Of course you can be in good shape in your 40s and even your 50s, but your prime is in your earlier years, unfortunaltely my sexual prime was in my teens
 
I bet I can still kick ass on many a 25 year old, both in the Gym and on the Steet if needed..

But I understand your point.

At 41, physically I suffer for what I do now, vs being able to go go go and never know it at 25..

With his victory at the 2003 Mr. Olympia, 39-year-old RONNIE COLEMAN became the third-oldest man to win the Mr. Olympia title. From the look of things, he's far from finished. Along with DARREM CHARLES (35), TROY ALVES and DENNIS JAMES (36), KEVIN LEVRONE (37) and 41-year-old CLAUDE GROULX, he represented a sport that, unlike many, rewards the maturing athlete.

Among those watching Coleman raise his sixth Sandow were bodybuilding's oldest Olympia titleholder, CHRIS DICKERSON, who won at 43, and its second oldest, FRANCO COLUMBU, who was 40 when he won the title in 1981. Columbu feels bodybuilding deserves notice for its unique standing as an equal opportunity sport.

"In most sports, athletes reach their peak between the ages of 20 and 30," the Sardinian strongman says. "When a boxer hits 30, he's considered old. For a tennis player, it's the same thing. But when I won the Mr. Olympia for the second time, I was 40 years old. When ALBERT BECKLES took second [in 1985], he was [reportedly] over 50!"

"What this means," notes Columbu, "is that bodybuilding can be a healthy sport and that muscles will continue to grow as a person gets older." With all this talk of muscle and age, I had to ask Dr. Columbu if he was willing to put his muscles where his mouth is to prove his point.

"I'm thinking about getting back into shape and going onstage again to show everyone what a guy in his 60s can do," revealed the 62-year-old.

23 -25 is when men peak. After that you're just dying a little every day.
 
Sheesh, I'm almost 47 and clearly am physically stronger and healthier than most of the younger folks I encounter at the gym. Ignoring the small handfull of Hulk Hogan's special 1980's "vitamins". I didn't start even lifting until my mid-30s as it was. There are certainly different challenges when you're older, like the ability to recuperate and such, but I hardly have one foot in the grave either.
 
My questions is:" Are your lifts as good as they were when you were in you 20s or 30s"? Provided that you have been working out all your life....
Click to expand...

No, my lifts are not as good as they were 20 years ago (YES I'm 52 years old), however, I still rep out my bench presses at 220 lbs. You will find that if you continue to workout through the years, the "how much" ego goes away and is replaced by good, quality workouts that build/maintain a good muscular physique.

This picture is what convinced me not to fear the free weights. Kelly Nelson is 73 years old in this link. And get this - she started training in her mid-50's:

That was what I meant.....Maybe a handful of people could reach their tip-top shape in their 40s....but most of them wont....

Thanks! Yes, that's me. I guess I picked that name because I'm older than most on the board, but even more so I was thinking for when I am a fossil, I want to be a fit one :D

check diggers avatar, some people are fit well into old age, my parents are both around 60 and don't have a wrinkle between them, hopefully I will be the same

oh yeah, the strongman Odd Haugen would whoop any 20-30 somethings ass on here in and out of the gym
