im 40yrs and the training still goes well, elbows hurt from time to time but otherwise still good, pumps are not as intense but still growing
-
Cool, man.....just as matter of time till I join the club... ;)
-
Here's to being 40! :D
-
good for you man, good luck with the training :D
-
No reason the pumps can't be just as intense, train harder or use different exercises. You can actually get comparable workouts to when younger, factoring the increased knowledge and experience as a counterbalance to slightly reduced energy when older.

I'm in my early 30's and I already feel like I have one foot in the grave. lol
I will just be happy if I'm still lifting at 40.

here's two pics of me. first one was on my 40th birthday, next one i was 25 years. no progress, but not much worse either.
-
i try to keep my reps higher for the pump, squeezing the muscle group to it's full potential. although pro hormones help for sure. i still squat and sometimes heavy but again mostly for reps 10,12,15,18. i also work 7p/7a so that also beats up my body, but training keeps me feeling healthy. appreciate the support fellas
-
haz you look fantastic, i have exactly no genitics for bodybuilding, my progress is very slow, but i stay with it, and look decent for my age.

Looks like you upped the dosage ;)
-
Just turned 53 and training harder than ever.
Hazbin,you look like a pro ..............big props!!
-
I am 44 and my training is the best it has ever been. Can't train as heavy all the time like I used to. Just have to train smarter.

i know you old farts claim you train better than ever but couldnt it just be that you are getting dementia ?
-

training gives you the distinct advantage of other people your age, the older that you get the bigger the advantage. Usually at that age people usually are resigned to the idea that you are suppose to grow a gut and drift off slowly into death.
that good thing about well trained at that age is that women from all ages check out...more power to you..keep up the hard work

Consider the source, a bozo who thinks a bluto avitar's cool, who does 27 sets per muscle and never trains hard lol

LOL. You still have zero capacity for self-reflection - ie. you really should read what you write before hitting 'post.' Maybe that is a quality you'll acquire after passing the big 40 milestone? ;)
/over 40 :o

yes!
(Haz ur an inspiration my friend!)
-
yes!
(Haz ur an inspiration my friend!)
Agreed.its good to see what a natural can achieve with solid diet and exercise.
-
he looks like a beast at any rate
-
no doubt about training smarter. thats why i do assortment of exercises, before it was all dumbells and barbell work, now i use the hammer stregnth equipment with dumbells ect, sometimes hammer stregnth only, giving joints and ligaments,tendons a break.
i do, or i try to do more cardio; or weights and cardio later in the work out, giant sets also keep the heart pumping hard.
as long as im gettting in there and making progress in some way.
other that a occasional pro hormone i train drug free.

Agreed, sick vascularity.

People say "oh he looks good for his age"
or "he looks good for 40"
Haz looks just as good (if not better!) than when he was in his 20's!

Hehe. Just keep proving my points, don't you, Bluto. Discretion: Make it your watchword! ;)
-

Totally agree. I wish I would have done things different in my 20s with training. More like I do now. Here is a picture. I just won the super heavyweight class of the Masters Nationals two weeks ago and currently getting ready for the North America.

this you?

You look good, can I ask what your average cycle consists of?

I don't know but they always do. Always turn out dark.
-

spokes,2 tires/rims,some chains,handlebars,gears,a seat etc etc ........................ ..
;D

not a knock on Dan Ray but i could show you 2 pictures from the same show (one dan ray)
the other Laura or some other people took.................... ..you would swear it was from 2 different shows!

Sure you can althiough you won't believe me I am sure. I take absolutely nothing in the off season. Haven't for about 5 years now. I only jump on 8 weeks out from a contest. I diet clean for the first 8 weeks. My cycle consists of some tren, masteron and anavar. I think the total was 600 mgs a week for this show. That is it. I bust my ass in the gym and my diet is clean all year around. It isn't always about drugs. They do add the finishing touches. I won't deny that.

I dont believe you no, but my opinion shouldnt mean shit to you, you still looked good on stage, you have nothing to prove.
-

I will take you not believing me as a compliment because that is it. I don't know why you guys think it takes boatloads of shit to build a half decent physique. I have been training for 25 years and eat better then most people. You would be amazed at what you can do with training and diet alone.

ok the first pic is a "Dan - Ray" contest picture
the second is of the same show/same day (Laura took it)
notice any difference?

That is a total frame of mind thing...I know it is a cleeshaa to say age is a number but think about it...Based on what you are saying the day before your 40th B-day (when you were 39) you were having intense, better pump workouts but the next day you were not???
-
I know it is a cleesha
Cleesha?

Cleesha?
Fixed...You must be rrrreeeaaallllllyyy bored...Getting a job helps...IMO

Getting a job helps.
Jobs are ovarraited.

You look good for a natty.
ya, that would be impressive for a natty, wouldn't it?
-

Are you sure that is how you spell it, maybe school first, then a job
-

Yes, did you go over the recommended loading phase for the creatine?Or did you stack 11 OXO and Anabolic Pump?
-

Oops.

This is how I look at it. I've been training since I was 12 with NO injuries that kept me from training until I turned 40. I always use the anology it's like buying a car with a 75,000 mile extended warranty........at 75,001 the car takes a shit and repairs are more frequent. Since I turned 40, I've tore my chest 2 times (1 time when getting ready for the masters nationals), meniscus surgery about a year or so after that. Didn't train for a show from the time of my pec tear till last Dec. After that show, another torn meniscus and torn labrum right shoulder.
lesson learned, when your older and on gear, no matter the dosage and come off the injuries are much easier to come by and waaay more frequent. All of injuries have come from a result of either training too heavy when on gear and THINKING you're 25 again or with the month or two after you stop.

You're mind says it's just a number (and I agree) but you're body just says fuck it at some point.

Oops.
WoW...Double Post MELTDOWN...
-
good points, Coach. for me though (despite all the prophets on here who's crystal balls tell them exactly when and how many drugs everyone takes ::)); most of my injuries occured before i took juice. i trained beyond my natural ability to recuperate, and chronic overtraining manifested into some pretty serious chronic trauma.
imagine the money the olympic committee could have saved if they threw out the drugs tests and just had gettbiggers look at pics and say - he's on, he's not, he's on, he's not.

Do you also only do some tren, masteron and anavar, 600 mgs a week, 8 weeks before the show? :D

I honestly think Haz looks better now then when he was younger

if my organs are fucked, it's because of all the booze i drink between my sporadic cycles. i just do juice and compete every few years to give my organs a break from real abuse. there again, here is another genius that can save the medicare system billions by diagnosing health through a picture. ::)

Cleesha?
Unfortunately, I had a mouthful of Diet Coke when I saw this.

that's very impressive

thanx everyone. my upper body held together all right, but my legs atrophied due to 4 bulging discs and arthritis. here's two pics, one from 1979,(when i didn't know a steroid from a hemrhoid) and the next one a few months ago at age 42.

See, this is what I cannot figure out.....Hazin AND Bob Chick BOTH have fairly developed Lats as teenie boppers, while I STILL have trouble getting that V spread.
Both Chick and Haz have a V taper as 15 y/o, and a pretty damn good backs, I have to believe they were not even training their backs at this age.
Hey Haz, you even have those forearm veins in this pic, at least the right arm does.

dude, i was doing pushups and hanging off branches trying to do chins when i was three years old. then i'd flex and ask my folks if i had muscles. no bullshit, three years old. here's the oldest pic i could find, age 12 years. i have some from earlier, can't find em though.

Hazbin's development isn't just due to drugs and genetics, but his toddler aged training. His very early training of pushups and tree branch pullups increased the efficiency of his CNS in recruiting high threshold (fast twitch) motor units. The frequent targeted practice of these exercises increased his body's capacity to recruit fast twitch muscle fibres in the required muscle groups.
If you want your kids to be strong and muscular, encourage (don't force) them to do frequent bodyweight exercises when they're young.

Disc shrinkage and atrophy from nerve damage is the real bitch of getting old, this was even the great Ronnie Colemans demise in the end, lots can be said once a solid base has been built, to change over to excercises that deliver less wear and tear, if you want to be traing into your 60s and holding some muscle size.

Very true!! All the hot MILF's are easy pickings when you are trained and have your shit together in your 40's, cause like you said most dudes are letting things go at that age and they very much appreciate someone who is taking care of themselves and looking good.

never thought of it, but sounds plausible. i could always lift more than my frame could handle, resulting in strains and injuries even as a teen. i thought i had a high % neuromuscular efficiency, but i didn't consider that i may have actually created it.

I have been the same way. I did gymnastics since 3rd grade and always was stringer than anyone else my age. Very active and doing things like lifting logs at our cabin to climbing trees and everything else helped probably too. I have never had joint problems and I have lifted heavy since day one

There's a lot of truth to this. I had my son do pushups since he was 7 or 8, just to get him doing regular exercise. Nothing extreme, just 10-15 reps each evening. He's now 16 and his chest development is amazing. He doesn't like to lift weights and only does bodyweight movements.
I just wish I had him do chinups. He'd be a monster by now, lol.

im 40yrs and the training still goes well, elbows hurt from time to time but otherwise still good, pumps are not as intense but still growing
