Leg growth after age 40........Palumbo says.....

[Bevo]

Does Palumbo have an opinion on GH gut growth after 40?

Gut growth is not caused by GH 

[Natural Man]

lol he hasnt been off in 3 decades, what does he know about the normal functioning of the human body.

[trapz101]

Can you imagine the gear he was running to hit a lean 320 lbs?

looks better than this year's top 5 olympia

[Las Vegas]

Man that shit is SICK.  Haven't seen too many pics from that era of Palumbo.

1st set age 45- 16 years of weight training (13 totally natural)
2 set age 53- 24 years of weight training
I would say my legs grew in the interval between 46 and 53, invalidating the theory unless I am an anomoly.

Dexter is over 40 and still has great legs minus calves but he's rare in general, to stay competitive this long is an anamoly these days esp at the high level

As soon as he lowers the dose his legs are the first to go. Look what happen 2 yrs ago when he didn't place well.

[jude2]

Totally depends on how long you been lifting or if you start PED's after 40. If you been lifting for 20 yrs then you prob maxed out leg growth but if you start in your mid-late thirties this will prob not be the case.

This is correct. I have seen it many of times.

Vic's legs are another one that is declining bad

You see it all the time in the Master Class. Look at Tony's legs also.

I didn't say nerve loss as I don't believe there is such a thing as "loss" and bbers are not normal. Yes in a "normal" adult you will not see shrinkage as such as you will see on bbers. You will not notice this so much on bbers who really are not know for their leg mass but more on the freaks and it usually starts to happen around age 40. It doesn't mean you are diseased or at least in the way you speak of unless you want to call aging a disease as some do. Bottom line is nerve "function" declines more so in the lower body  than the upper body.

Bro whose cool aide you been drinking?
   Nerve function is normal unless you're diseased or extremely aged. The lower extremities are usually affected more, because the longest axons are in lower extremity nerves and therefore more vulnerable to insult. That easy. If you have muscle atrophy you will see that whether or not someone is a bodybuilder. The fact the individual is a bodybuilder has nothing to do with it. Nerve function does NOT decline "more so in the lower body than the upper body."
   Trust me neuromuscular is one subsubspecialty I do know something about.

Nerve function declines with age what don't you get about this!!!!! It's a normal part of aging!!! The lower extremities are affected more therefore muscle growth is affected. Those with extreme leg hypertrophy will notice more atrophy in that region as they age. Trusting you has nothing to do with it. Go back to school. Better yet get your money back.

You got issues bro.

  You think you can do better than Johns Hopkins?  Lol
  Better bone up on your internet education mate.
   I know this site makes you feel important. You seem needy for adulation.

dont discredit the value of getting body work done. How much scar tissue and knots play a role in performance and "growth" is way under-rated in this thread. the longer you've been at it, the more you'll have. Don't do anything about it, ie, getting deep tissue massage work on amongst other therapies, will affect everything.

We can't argue with an informed doctor.

There are two issues here. Do bodybuilders decline in size as they age? Almost all do....sooner or later. Part of this is because motivation changes and training legs hard is usually avoided so size decreases.

Can guys over the age of 40 increase hypertrophy in their bodies and especially their legs? I see no reason why not. Forget about the drugs, it is still possible to adapt to stresses put on the muscular system.
Size can still increase at 70 or more. Actually doing so is not so common simply because few old men train hard enough and long enough to accumulate gains.

[Las Vegas]

If your dick can still grow regularly, so can your muscles. Right, Vince?

[Vince B]

I was wondering who responds to those dick enhancement ads on the net!

[Ropo]

Just heard Dave say u can not grow your legs after the age of 40; only maintane what u have.
Is this accurate?

Well, it depends who you will listen. A monkey who have never been training without gear, and has burn his body out with all those chemicals, or science. Science says, according the studies, that you never will loss your ability to gain muscle mass. There has been studies where they have take old geezers to the gym, and with same exercises than younger naturals, and same food, they gain same amount of muscle mass. For himself Dave could be right, because one more cycle and his kidneys explode, and sofore he can't grow leg size.

[Dr.J]

i call bs

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I assume Palumbo is talking about someone who has brought their leg development as far as humanly possible before the age of 40. Which really would only be a handful of people in the world.

[Coach is Back!]

He's right.

[Vince B]

He's right.

All you can claim is that you haven't been able to get bigger legs at your age.

[The Ugly]

The only thing I could grow after 40 was a belly. Fuck 40.
