Yes, this is why there are so many 40-50 year old Olympians out there. Shut the fuck up gimmick, peak strength in males occurs in the age period of 18-25, usually maxing at 25 and declining after that gradually. On the flipside as you get older the more your endurance increases.
Not sure where you get your facts from. Most of your topics you seem quite clueless.After late 30s it all goes down hill. After the late 20s testosterone just keeps dropping. Men in their 40s cannot hold onto their strength or mass due to this. Unless we are talking about men who use performance enhancers then ok. A bodybuilding man in his 40s cannot keep up with the young guns. Not to mention their physique just gets worse...
Wrong on all counts. A 23 year old has less testosterone than a 15 year-old and yet has bigger muscles and more strength. Testosterone has nothing to do with it. Also, I am talking about strength and not muscularity which is influenced by things such as bodyfat which increase with age and vascularity which decreases with age diminishing the quality of the physique. An 18 year-old has less bodyfat and thus more defined muscles than a 30 year-old but has less strength.SUCKMYMUSCLE
testosterone is what helps us gain so much muscle.The thing about a 15 year old is he still growing for many more years. Of Course a 30 year old lifter will be stronger.
Exactly, dumbass. A 30 year-old man is stronger than a 15 year-old despite having less testosterone because testosterone is not the only factor responsible for muscle growth. After all, if it were, the 30 year-old man's muscles would have shrunk to a size smaller than the 15 year-old's since he has less testosterone. Likewise, a mare has less testosterone than a human male and yet is much stronger. Riddle me that? Because there are many other factors that affect strength. A 40 year-old has less testosterone than a young man, which reflects in higher levels of bodyfat and less aggressive behavior, but the fact that he is stronger indicates that testosterone is not the only factor regulating strength. There are probably genetic mechanisms independent of testosterone that increase strength up to an age far beyond the one when testosterone levels start declining.SUCKMYMUSCLE
No 40 year old that is not on performance enhancers will be stronger than a weightlifting 18 year old.
A 30 year old who has been training for years can credit the great gains from the high testosterone levels in his 20s. hope this helps
Well wes can still get up from the toilet without holding onto the toilet roll dispenser so there is an element of truth to that theory

So, after the natural testosterone decrease at about 25 you get at your strongest point 10 to 15 years later?Shut the fuck up.
Actually testosterone peaks at age 15 and then starts declining after that. A 25 year old has less testosterone than an 18 year-old, so why is the 25 year-old stronger? Why is a mare stronger than a human male despite having lower testosterone levels? You guys are obsessed with testosterone because you are dumb and think it is the only factor in strength, but it isn't. 30 year-olds have less testosterone than teenagers but thicker muscles and more strength because it is a part of getting older. Women are also heavier and stronger at age 30 than they were at 18, and women have extremely low levels of testosterone at all ages. Just a part of growing older.SUCKMYMUSCLE
Ok, in order...No, it varies from individual to individual but after you stop growing completely test decreases, ie, somewhere around 20 to 25. This is of course related to the cycles of release of hgh and other hormones, ie, getting older.Jesus fuck, why is a gorilla stronger than a human despite never lifting a single weight and being herbivorous? Genetics that determine a serious of factors: muscle fiber types, tendons, overallweight and protein synthesis differences.Prove it, by the way "thicker" means nothing at all, it either is big or small, muscle itself grows or decreases to adapt, nothing else.Again, prove it.I assume we mean people than DONT use exogenous hormones, right?I know strength means neural adaptations up to a point, but without the testostorone levels to support muscle mass you are not stronger beucase your main source of strength, muscles, dont exist/decreased.
