I've read that at 22 a man is pretty much in his physical prime...but the strongest powerlifters are usually in their 30's and 40's. so what gives?
For you guys who've been training for decades, what age were your weights at their peak?
-
Are you finally saying that you're gona turn 22? as you've been 21 for the last 6 years or so, good progress at last and happy birthday.
-
Depends on a quality of the gear.
-
Depends on the circumstances, the individual and the type of strength sport in question.
Olympic weightlifters for instance tend to peak in their mid 20's.
-
professional videogamers peak in their late teens early 20s :'(
-
after 25 years old I don't see anybodys natural Test levels or other hormones increasing.id go with 25.

Natural: 27-33 depending on training, lifestyle, and genetics. Drugs can increase that by several years.

ronnie was 34 when he did the lifts in his first training video
-
WAS MY STRONGEST AROUND 40 YRS OLD,BELIEVE IT OR NOT. IT DIDNT HURT THAT I SCORED SOME REALLY QUALITY GRADE A TEST THEN ALSO

That's only because their joints are gone.

haha thanks bro ;D

If enhanced who knows
Levrone was doing 500 pound bench presses like it was nothing in his late 30's
The coach supposedly did 500+ max in his 40's???

strenght vs age with or without drugs?

strenght vs age with or without drugs?
good point,theres no way on earth i woulda been stronger at 40 than i was at 23-25 if it wasnt for the drugs, thats why i have nothing negative to say about anyone who is my age and does HRT. i mean who doesnt want better quality of life? better sex drive?feel happier ect? id rather live to 75 feeling happy and vibrant than live to 80 and look like an extra for the movie NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, im not saying test shortens life span im just saying
-
I would say for power in the twenties and early 30's. For strength right into the 40's.
-
I am 48 and haven't noticed any strength loss, endurance yes, but as far as being able to push max weight for a few reps, hasn't decreased yet
Being able to work hard all day, def can't do that like I used to- logging, roofing, helping somebody move a lot of stuff all day long .... again, endurance not there, but I can still do a decent max dead lift or bench or help move a piano or sleeper sofa- just need to go a little slower with the moving
-
strength takes time to build up
so probably not early 20's
between 30-40 sounds right
-
20-25
-
SPURTS MID 20'S THEN AGAIN IN 30'S ,,I'M 46 NOW AND STILL VERY STRONG 'I THINK'405 FOR 8-10 ON SQUATS,800/900 ON LEG PRESS.HACKS 600 OR SO..BACK STILL PUSH/PULL SOME NICE LBS ON ROWS ESPECIALLY ..
-
30-40
-
At this rate, Flintstones will be in his early 30's when he's 70 years old, so I think that he might be going downhill by then.
-
I think everybody is different. I'm at my peak strength wise at the current age of 30, but it's definitely been around a certain range since 27 or so and creeps up slower than molasses and can disappear with a blink of an eye if I go on vacation or get sick. Having said that, I injected my first ever cc of test 2 days ago haha
-
I think 31-40. I see many men in their mid 30's who are stronger than people in their 20's, and the guys in their 30's just looked like they walked in a gym that day. Obviously, this would not be the case if the guy in his mid 20's is on gear. Muscle maturity goes a long way.
-
i feel better than ever now at 34 than ever before, stronger and fitter
-
Endurance peaks at about 20-21, stength around 25-27, and functional strength around 30 ish.
-
Depends on the individual really but I find most men with real functional strength are in their 30s
-
this can only really apply to an average male who doesn't train, who goes through teens, gets stronger as an adult and then declines. People that train will continue to get that bit stronger if they push for it. Or be stronger at an older age than a man who does no training.

i agree. whats with this 20 year old having peak strength lol. take a 35 year old man and a 21 year old, and keep all variables constant, the 35 year old man, for the most part, will be stronger. obviously there are exceptions to every rule. however, the average man in his 30's is going to be stronger than a 22 year old.

My Best lifts were between ages 44-54 (so far). Lifted in teens- 20. Then started again at 25- current. None of my best lifts were achieved with a few years training. It took a while. At 54 strength isn't a problem, stamina is not as high, and get injured if I get too loose or train too often.
-
27-35.
-
I peaked about a week ago, so 49 years and 6.1 months.
-

You have that backwards.
Agility, speed, explosiveness, reflexes--these peak in the mid 20's
Endurance, work capacity--these peak around 30-35
Limit strength--peaks towards late 30's
Just take a look at the ages of the top athletes in various disciplines to get an idea of when various skills tend to peak.

That must be why the average age of Boston marathon winners since 2000 is almost 29 years old with no single winner younger than 22.

Agreed, I peaked last Wednesday, 46 years and whatever - feel / look like shit today.

You are so fucking stupid I just wanna put you out of your misery, it would be best for everyone.

Ronnie was in his 40's.

For me when I was around 23-24. I was dumbell pressing the 120's (per hand) for reps. I was natural too. Not been able to get anywhere close since then. But that could also be that my priorities changed. I'm not trying to push that weight any more. I get just as much out of pressing half that weight. I've left ego training behind years ago. Now if I really wanted to press that weight again, I should be able to do so with a bit of strength training. There's just no reason to. I've zero interest in impressing anyone. Much less some irrelevant knob in the gym.
-
Drug free, I started getting weaker at 38, although at 42 I had a resurgence for some reason and was again able to do 2-3 sets of 5 with 315(bench). Then, it was a gradual weakening until I was ashamed to bench anymore.
-
same here, today i just make a weight feel like more. After getting really sore tender elbows from heavy dumbells extensions i realised training to see how strong i can be isn't worth it. I probably got my best results from them but don't even entertain the idea.

I'm 44. Soon to be 45. Been weight training since I was 15 (1985). I am still gaining strength.
The physical attributes lost at an early age (lateral foot speed, etc.) are NOT important in the pursuit of absolute strength. Hence why strength athletes very often "peak" at relatively advanced ages (40s-50s). If one does not use/abuse anabolic drugs, and therefore ruin his his hormone system and joints, etc., to develop crazy strength well in the middle-age period is very doable.
Most popular sports (baseball, football, basketball, gymnastics, etc.) rely on those attributes that are at their greatest when young.

Functional strength is key.
having two functional arms is key.
you don't. you have one shitty one, and one useless, gnarled appendage that looks like a branch stuck in the side of a snowman.
I know I've been harping on you a lot to kll yourself, but i think it could be really good for you. if not, who cares you're dead, LOL
-
When factoring ones natural recovery time, muscle maturity, range of motion and lung capacity i'd say the sweet spot is somewhere in the late 20's to early 30's.
People are different some mature faster than others. Some take longer to mature.

A bunch of old guys in this thread :D

A few years younger than me, but similar progression in strength. I'm stronger, or as strong as I ever was.
