Will be thirty in February; am dieting now but I still want a few kilos of muscle before I am 40.

I will be thirty in April, I definitely hear what you're saying. 

I keep thinking I should have been massive by now and after this it won't happen.

But then I think of someone like Stallone getting in his best shape ever at around 35.

There's still hope.

I've seen dudes in their 40's and 50's  that look quite  cut and "des", not huge, but you know they lift. They just like looking like that and have been doing it all their lives.

I didn't start training till 32 put on a lot of muscle, I've always had good size on me though.

1. naturals can't be huge and cut..get that out of your heard right away
2. You will never compete so focus on getting to "decent" size while being lean
3. Don't let working out consume you, focus on life outside of the gym
Here comes the money shot
